review scores from Famitsu" />Final Fantasy XII may still be a ways off for Western gamers, but it’s right on
the verge of being released in Japan, having scored a perfect review from the folks at
Famitsu.
It
ain’t easy earning a 40 out of 40 from Famitsu, a feat which only the following titles have duplicated up to
now: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Soul Calibur (for Dreamcast), Vagrant Story,
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Nintendogs.
The score should hopefully reassure
FF fans who’ve been shaken by all the game’s delays in release and changes in personnel (as well as gameplay).
At any rate, the title’s localization for other territories should be well underway, even if the release dates outside
of Japan haven’t been officially announced yet.
[Thanks, Miyamoto]
