Like a particularly devastating "summon" spell, Square Enix bombarded North American retailers last week with 1.5 million copies of Final Fantasy XII. The publisher announced today that the mass shipment represents the largest day-one North American availability of any game in the publisher's history.
Final Fantasy XII set that record due in part to another Square Enix milestone. While it was far from the first Final Fantasy game Square Enix has released, Final Fantasy XII was the first time the publisher had ever set a concrete street date for one of its North American product launches. While all of the company's previous games shipped out on a certain date and gradually went on sale as the games arrived at different retailers over the course of a few days, Square Enix made sure all of its retail partners received their copies of Final Fantasy XII early and held onto them until the official October 31 release date.

This game has good reviews everywhere.. feels like playing now..hm
If you haven't played it yet, go and do so. Now.
VIII, VIII, X, X-2 all disappointed me personally and I saw nothing but a decline for the series (the other series' are flourishing though). This has redeemed Final Fantasy for me.
The battle system is just PERFECT. It's not as hectic as a Tales game, but it has the same enjoyment, and it has the same micromanagement (plus a LOT more with Gambits) that Final Fantasy is known for.
FF8 and 9 were both really amazing games!!
10 sucked for me, didn't like talking, didn't like the overall theme, didn't like all the new technology really. As for this new battle system, I doubt I'll like it, I'll always love the classic battle style.
FF7&8 forever
I will miss random fight and turn based =/
