GameFront reports that Famitsu has given Final Fantasy XII a perfect 40/40. Ummm.... no. I know this is not the first time Famitsu has dealt a perfect score to a game that doesn't deserve it, but at least with the other games, some case (however small) could have been made. But FFXII? Did they play it? The battle system is simply awful. While I recognize that there is some remote possibility that the game has imporved dramatically since the demo, it's highly unlikely. Even people who like the battle system have admitted it has flaws, so what's going on here?
Of course, let's not forget that this is the same Famitsu that convienently delayed its less-than-stellar review of FF7 DoC until AFTER the game sold over 500,000 copies...
