Next-Gen.biz: Final Fantasy XII Under Fire
April 8th, 2006
Even though Final Fantasy XII has been a critical and commercial mega-hit in Japan since its release earlier this year, some Japanese gamers have taken up arms on internet forums to complain about various aspects of the game, such as combat difficulty, “crappy” music (in their opinion), similarities to Star Wars, and the groundbreaking Gambit and License systems.
I can’t stress enough how much I disagree with this sentiment, but opinions are opinions. Tim Rogers of Next Generation recently wrote an article defending FFXII, which you can read via the link below.
