Famitsu Gives Final Fantasy XII A Perfect Score Famitsu, the japanese gaming magazine have given Final Fantasy XII a perfect score of 40/40 and is only the sixth game to achieve this. Not only was it the sixth game to receive a perfect score, but it was also the second game by Yasumi Matsuno. Matsuno's previous game to reach this was Vagrant Story on the Playstation 1. First reviewer: "As always a grand story and the ever slightly changing battle system pulls you in more and more. The large maps that you battle in especially can make you lose track of time because of its appeal. It's amazing that a single player game can make you feel like you're playing with team mates!" Second reviewer: "It may feel awkward at first for FFX players since the battle system takes ques from the FFXI battle system, but the Gambit system will make getting used to the system a smooth transition. The freedom that can be achieved is great, even if the gamer's skills are limited. The story is great as usual and the acting is impressive." Third reviewer: "A very generous game in how it's built. The story is rock solid but offers a great sense of freedom. The battles are a joy to play once you're used to the transitionless nature. There are times when you may just die instantly, so caution is to be taken at all times. This nervousness also makes the game a lot more exciting and fun." Fourth reviewer: "Visuals that take your breath away, a complicating lking yet easy to play system, a balanced experience that fits all playing styles -- there are no faults in this game. You'll somehow get really into the game at one point and won't be able to stop. Even compared to the classic FFs, this can be ranked right alongside of them." In other news, Sony has issued a notification to console game dealers in Japan stating that no business should sell Square Enix's Final Fantasy XII before the launch day on March 16th. By doing this they would be counted on sanctions.
