Final Fantasy XII dated

Final Fantasy XII is due out in Europe on 23rd February, Square Enix has announced.

The hugely anticipated PlayStation 2 title will be the last core title in the famed RPG series to appear on the Sony console, with number 13 already queued up for PlayStation 3.

But that shouldn't put you off, with the game having already won rave reviews on import - including a whopping 10/10 from this very website - despite some division over its unusual battle system.
