It's not really a big surprise, but it probably is a disappointment for international gamers to hear that the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XII will not be released across Europe and PAL territories until after the Christmas season.
Fear not, friends across the puddle and down under, for the newest rendition of the Square-Enix flagship series will be released sometime in early 2007. Instead of getting the game itself for the holidays, just ask for a gift certificate! FFXII, for North America, will be released on October 31.
