Game of the week – Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System. If you have not played Final Fantasy, then you’d been out of Earth too long. Goes for USD 64.90 and Japan systems only.

FINAL FANTASY XII carries on the tradition of gaming innovation, fantastic graphics and epic storytelling. With a brand-new battle system bringing more realistic and seamless action to the player’s fingertips, this latest installment promises to take role-playing games to the next level through a beautiful and heart-stopping adventure.

The story of FINAL FANTASY XII takes place in a world called “Ivalice”, in an age when magic was commonplace and airships plied the skies, crowding out the heavens. War was on the horizon. Seeking to strengthen its base of power, the great Archadian Empire had been invading and subjugating its neighboring kingdoms one by one. The small Kingdom of Dalmasca was one such kingdom. Our story follows Vaan, a young man living on the streets of Dalmasca’s Royal City of Rabanastre, the Princess Ashe, the sole remaining heir to the Dalmascan throne who had been given up for missing, as well as Vaan’s friend Penelo, the sky pirate Balthier, Balthier’s partner Fran and many more on an adventure through Ivalice that traces the mysteries behind the Archadian Empire’s invasion.

Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System supports English voice casting, a 16:9 mode, an updated battle system and lots of other alterations not found in the original release. The release also contains a bonus DVD based on the US game release.
