Final Fantasy XII Leaked Out !!
The MOST popular RPG game, Final Fantasy series leaked out. Final Fantasy XII can be download from torrent since 01 oct *the officail release date is 31 oct*
Here I quote the news from http://finalfantasy.neoseeker.com/
These days, piracy happens quite often around the world, and has become a problem that the game industry has yet been able to handle. However, it's rare that a game is leaked out illegally onto the internet, with apparent full playability and in English, as with what happened yesterday with the RPG-series giant Final Fantasy and it's newest incarnation, Final Fantasy XII.
Last night, several articles on the news sharing site Digg.com came up, mentioning that the hit RPG game to hit the world in thirty days had been leaked onto the internet, and was being downloaded freely.
The pirated version had been up on the internet for several days, although there has been no given estimates to how many supposedly loyal Final Fantasy fans decided to skip around the law and download the game without legal consent. Square Enix has also not commented on the matter.
Whether or not this pushes back the release date or how it could effect the sales figures for the game remains a mystery, although the hope is that it will not be too draining overall.
While the previous rumour of Gears of War being leaked have been proven false, Final Fantasy has been confirmed to have been leaked.
As for legal action, last night Square Enix managed to have the entire Torrent listings of the supposed original site removed, which caused thousands to rush and try and get it before all copies disappeared. What Square Enix plans to do to the offenders who are known to have downloaded this content is unknown.
