Final Fantasy XII

Posted on July 30, 2009 by Paul

This is an odd one. Professional reviewers everywhere loved it. Final Fantasy fanatics however were split down the middle. The legacy of Final Fantasy VII is that every time a new Final Fantasy comes out, it’s judged by how far … Continue reading →
