Final Fantasy XII is a PS2 exclusive game created by Square-Enix in 2005, to hit shelves in 2006. The final fantasy franchise was its busiest it had been for a long time around this period with many games released very close to one another (Namely 12, 4 Advance, Advent Children, and Dirge of Cerberus) however this game was by far the biggest game title to be released.
Story
Ok so its time to start of the full review, and maybe start off by explaining the cut-scene at the beginning. In this cut-scene the whole affair starts with preparations for a wedding in the Royal City of Rabanastre, in the small Dalmascan Empire. The wedding is between Lord Rassler of Nabradia and Princess Ashelia B’nargin Dalmasca (or Ashe), the only daughter of King Raminas.
Lord Rassler
Shortly after this wedding, Rassler is called into war between Rozzaria and Arcadia over the city of Nabudis, just on the outskirts of Rabanastre. Joining Rassler on this campaign is the Captain Basch fon Rosenburg, and together they lead the Nabradian Army to war. The war scene is fairly brief but incredibly action packed, including air-ship battles with Remoras and on ground battles which are reasonably graphic.
During the confusion Basch and Rassler ride fowards on none other than the mighty steeds called CHOCOBOS. Basch calls to Rassler to fall back, “Not while the Paling still stands!” cries Rassler, just as another cut-scene shows men chanting in a tower to keep the barrier surrounding Nabudis strong, the tower is sieged by Arcadian soldiers and the enchanters killed. And so Rassler and Basch are forced to fall back, although Rassler is hesitant about turning back. In amongst all the indecision an archer gets a lucky shot, and hits Rassler right in the neck.
The Judges on the march
The next scene shows Basch desperately trying to recover his lords body while fighting off hundreds of soldiers, a lucky explosion allows him to escape and the screen changes to show Lord Rasslers funeral, with the Widowed lady Ashe.
