FINAL FANTASY XII, LEADS OUR THIRTEENTH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL
We eventually purchased and played Final Fantasy XII for no other reason than my cousin wouldn’t stop going on about it (he’s very pleased about the new HD
update by the way) so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It felt quite unlike any other Final Fantasy game we’ve ever played, particularly when it came to the game’s combat, and while we never completed it, we enjoyed what we experienced and it was clear to see that it was taking both the genre and the series in very exciting directions. So this month, we not only have a feature on the creation of Square’s original PlayStation 2 release but we have also put aside ten additional pages to celebrate the franchise’s thirteenth anniversary.
