Final Fantasy XII
I’m back a long vacation from blogging. My news has been known from some time but getting closer to the launch date is a great opportunity to talk about it. The title of this post and the picture shown on the left are not misleading. Final Fantasy XII is coming pretty soon to North America. The official release date is October 31st 2006. Forget about Halloween this year, the greatest RPG series in history will keep the kids inside and people like myself playing it. I did not take time to look for all the details concerning the plot, the story will be good or amazing as usual and it will involve saving the world from certain doom. The eye catcher of this twelfth installment is that just like for Final Fantasy XI they decided to innovate a bit. The previous game was playable online as a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) witch created an immersing gaming experience similar to Guild Wars, Matrix Online or the successful World of Warcraft. I did not get the chance to play it because I hate the fact that you need to pay a monthly subscription to access the online service (Guild Wars were successful at now having any fees besides the purchase of the games “cheers”).
Final Fantasy XII will revisit a world previously introduced in the Final Fantasy mythology and for more information, videos, pictures or complete previews please visit Gamespot’s page on the subject.
