Ten facts: Final Fantasy XII

If there's one thing we truly know about Final Fantasy XII, it's massive. Years in development have yielded what is very likely the biggest single-player Final Fantasy game yet. We played the import for hours and hours and we barely scratched the surface.

So it's no surprise that there are plenty of details we have yet to uncover. Good thing that Square Enix stopped by with the game and uncovered some exciting new details. Though the game was only on demo for maybe half an hour, we learned a lot. Below, we spell out five totally new facts we didn't know, and five places where our look at the English version of the game enhanced what we'd already learned from the import.

Strap in and get ready for our 10 hot facts about Final Fantasy XII. And if you want to know even more, be sure to check out our hands-on with the finalJapanese version.
