As usual even my Dad's ancient 2 megapixel camera isn't very kind to my various facial flaws but nevermind that, check out that moxie!

Final Fantasy 12 sells 1.7M copies in first 4 days and its theme song hits 6th on the singles chart.

Considering Japan has only 124M people vs. the combined 328M people in the US and Canada, I'd say this launch is more of a success than Halo 2, which sold 2.3M in opening days. However it's great to see that we here in the West are starting to see game opening sales frenzies now, which have been somewhat a regular occurance in Japan now for at least a decade.

Gamespot reports Famitsu magazine's Final Fantasy 12 review.

A perfect score is great news and all but more importantly is that it means something, since the magazine’s only given it out to a handful of games, most of which are undeniably brilliant. This bodes well for we faithful who have been pining away for 5 years.
