History of Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy 12

Square Enix tried to revitalize their flagship series by moving it online.  This plan had originally been to make all subsequent games online, but it quickly fell through, leaving Square with a choice of backstepping to a more traditional RPG or going in a new direction.  And, for good or for ill, they took the risk and tried to use what they'd learned in Final Fantasy 11 and use it to make Final Fantasy 12, an offline title.  This is the beginning of where their era of change begins to crumble into failure and shortcoming.  But not quite yet.  For all it's faults, Final Fantasy 12 does have some strong merits.  Watch to find out what those are.
