Beautiful scenery in these games
-
The cityscapes were honestly one of the things I liked best about XII
ID: grgry2gID: gri1srwThe environments in that game are very memorable to me.
-
Top notch imagineering
-
Ff12 is one of my favorites, I remember picking it up from circuit city, day 1, on Halloween for 37.99! What a steal!!!
Of course my 16 year old self was too cool to do Halloween, so I slammed a monster and played FF all night.
Oh, how life has passed by since then...
-
i just started this game the other day and i love it , everything just looks amazing
ID: grgvasoI played it in my teens on ps2
ID: grgz7smI played the OG like OP but I really want the new remake(remaster?)
-
Archades always gave me major Art Deco New York vibes for some reason.
-
I spent hours staring at this concept art when it first came out. Then for some reason I never played the game. I think I'll change that soon.
ID: grhy1kcYeah, me too. I don't know why I never played this before? And XIV seems to have passed me by as well. I'm glad I saw this post ☺
-
Ivalice is probably in my top 5 fictional settings across all media.
-
Bruh and this is cropped. Look at the whole thing.
-
This is concept art.
ID: grgzde9Yeah but Archades actually really did look this good in my opinion
ID: grii8f4For all the merchandising that SE does, I've always been disappointed at the lack of merchandising based on their concept art over promotional or in-game art. The "painted" style that a lot of concept art tends to have has such an especially pleasing aesthetic to it.
-
Ivalice is under-appreciated. We got three...THREE...games from Nova Crystalis but we never got a XII-2. Greatest shame in FF history.... outside of XV of course...
ID: grhyq17It doesn't count, but the FFXIV Rabanastre raid was cool. And also a lot of area in that game are similar.
ID: gridz4hThere was kind of a XII-2 in Revenant wings but it was a massive change in gameplay.
-
Definitely one of the greatest video games of all time
-
I never liked the game much at all, but it has to be said that the art was (and still holds up as) incredibly pretty.
Visually it set a bar that I'm not sure any SP FF game has topped to date.
ID: grh69noI've loved this game ever since it came out on ps2, and I have to agree. It's super pretty.
It looks like a bunch of the environment artists moved on to the FFXIV team. At least that's my guess, just based on the art and architecture in that game. And since that's the team doing FFXVI...
Also, the dude who painted this particular piece of concept art is the art director for FFXVI, Isamu Kamikokuryo. He was art director on FFXIII/Type 0/FFXV as well. But FFXVI is a return to a more classic Fantasy style setting. So we will probably see a lot more of this type of city design in a single player FF soon-ish
-
This isn't in a game
ID: grgf4uvIt's Archades, one of the most beautiful cities in gaming.
ID: grgb75tYeah it is this from the trailer and you see it before you fight AlCid
-
Nearly completed this just doing the last bits and it is a lovely looking game but just disappointing everywhere else.
-
This was the first concept art I saw for Final Fantasy XII. I can't say I fell in love with the Archedes in the game in the same way I appreciate Midgar or Lindblum, for example, but this is undeniably some beautiful work.
-
Really wish we got to see more of Archades in XII. Such a beautiful cityscape with room for exploration, but they just focused on getting chops and raiding Cid's place.
-
This has been my lock screen wallpaper for the past month and I had to do a double take when I was scrolling on Reddit just now
-
I love every single thing about FF XII. Every. Single. Thing.
I rarely can pick favorites, but FF XII is in my top 3 FF's.
-
According to Isamu Kamikokuryo, the Imperial City of Archades is inspired by the Dream Zanarkand in FFX.

I am so happy that when i purchased this, i got the special edition steelbook, the strategy guide with the art book and the bonus CD that had the history of final fantasy and how it went over the VERSUS series.
love the art work from this game.
ID: grii6a2looks like you can get it for cheap! (the strategy/art book)
-
The only nock I really have against the game is that the only non Hume party member is horny teen boy fan service
-
I remember when XII was first announced this image was in a magazine that I then cut out and stuck on my door

You could tell that was a major selling point. Most of the FMVs weren't featuring the characters everytime, most were an introduction into a new area. I still consider FFXII to have one of the most expansive and beautiful worlds out of the franchise. Few installments have been able to match how vast and detailed Ivalice is.
