FFXII Scores Max In Famitsu

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday March 8, 2006 @04:29AM from the that's-a-spicy-meatball dept.

Famitsu, the premiere Japanese videogame magazine, evidently really likes Final Fantasy XII. From the Insert Credit post: "Meanwhile, Final Fantasy XII has scored a perfect score of 40 -- all four reviewers scoring it 10 out of 10 -- from Japanese gaming bible Famitsu. It joins the club of five perfect-scoring games, one of which is a fighting game with a sequel that's better (Soul Calibur), two of which are Zelda games (Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker), and two of which (Nintendogs and Vagrant Story) didn't even make it onto Famitsu readers' top 100 list."

Oh great. Now you've done it. Now we're going to get five posts by emo-losers explaining how Final Fantasy was going to be a failing Squaresoft's last game, but it was sooooo successful that it brought the company back.

Which is complete and total fiction.

In reality, it was the vision of some game developer who was retiring. It was his Final Fantasy before he retired. It did well enough that Squaresoft has now rehashed his vision an additional 11 times, not including offshoots like Mystic Quest and Tactics.
