Final Fantasy XII is not one of the more popular entries in the series. But despite the criticism of its combat system and story, it does mark the series’ shift from turn-based to free-flowing combat, and it does hold a special place in the hearts of some game developers.
So to mark the game’s’ 11-year anniversary, and its re-release under the moniker The Zodiac Age, we’re going to be streaming Final Fantasy XII today at 3PM EDT with game composer Joseph Wiggs and game programmer Jesse Harlin, who both have fond memories playing this controversial game.
