FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 
Quote:

Final Fantasy XII may still be a ways off for Western gamers, but it's right on the verge of being released in Japan, having scored a perfect review from the folks at Famitsu.

It ain't easy earning a 40 out of 40 from Famitsu, a feat which only the following titles have duplicated up to now: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Soul Calibur (for Dreamcast), Vagrant Story, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Nintendogs.

The score should hopefully reassure FF fans who've been shaken by all the game's delays in release and changes in personnel (as well as gameplay). At any rate, the title's localization for other territories should be well underway, even if the release dates outside of Japan haven't been officially announced yet.

Very intersting at how high of a score it got from a magazine like Famitsu who doesnt hand out a score like that much

Hm interesting.... :) I still believe that Sony should have held it back for the PS3.

Well, it's not Sony's call. And FFIX came out on the PS1 a few months after the PS2 had been released, so it's no different than FFXII coming out now.

This marks two games from director Matsuno to score a perfect 40/40 (Vagrant Story and now FFXII). That guy knows his sh*t.

As I told Dyne last night, this is the only game I've actually been waiting for. :(

Even if Sony had any say in how Square/Enix releases its games (which it doesn't particularly after the merger), putting FF XII on the PS3 would delay the game until at least November and maybe until next year.

Here's hoping the game does well at any rate. Square/Enix has been hurting financially of late.

Well.... I don't think FF IX sold very well, did it? :confused:

Ok..... well I take back what I said, they shouldn't have delayed it to the PS3, since it's too far off.

I still can't believe Wind Waker got a perfect score.


I'll try FFXII. Whenever it comes out.

Too bad Vagrant Story was a steaming pile of crap. I get the feeling this is just Famitsu blowing their wad they've been saving up since FFX.

It could be just that good though, so we'll see.

Bah, they choose FFX as #1 for their 100 best games list. Lost all respect for Famitsu.

I didn't like it and I'm not alone. It was a love-hate.

I tried to like it, honestly. The cinematics were kickass. But the tedious blacksmithing really turned me off.

Japanese like games that look similar to that hence why it was higher scored there because they are used to that kind of style I thought

Its not so much the look of the game, but the whole looking for the Triforce peices that should have kept WW from getting a perfect score...


/me shrugs and walks away

That was pretty annoying but the game had flawless execution.

I mean, it was no Ocarina of Time, but what is these days.
