Final Fantasy XII Pushes Envelopes

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday November 8, 2006 @10:48AM from the gotta-love-those-bunny-girls dept.

The anticipation surrounding Final Fantasy XII has resulted in Square/Enix's largest U.S. rollout for a title. Gamespot reports that 1.5 Million units were shipped to the country to meet demand. From the article: "Even if every last one of those copies has been sold, Square Enix still has a ways to go before the game duplicates the success it experienced overseas earlier this year. Final Fantasy XII has already racked up more than 2.4 million sales in Japan since its release there in March of this year." The game is pushing graphical as well as business envelopes; Kikizo has a feature talking with some of the game developers about the game's use of PS2 architecture. Essentially, the team says, FFXII is the best a game will ever look on the PlayStation 2.

I saw this game on display at EB Games. I had an original Xbox and this thing looked like crap to me. Poor PS2 people if this is the best they ever got. It hurt my eyes it was so ugly. Like a PC graphics from 10 years ago.
