Welcome to IGN Guide's guide for Final Fantasy XII. The twelfth installment of the main Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy XII provides a bit of a twist in relation to the other games in the series, especially ones before XI. The game feels like Final Fantasy, but has MMORPG elements (though it is a one player game) and a scope that goes above and beyond what most RPGs, even of contemporary times, can accomplish.

The game, quite simply, is gigantic. Even seasoned RPG players will find themselves spending at least 100 hours to do everything within the game. Naturally, not everything will be obvious, nor will it be easy. That's where we come in. This guide will cover literally every last ounce of the game, complete with a walkthrough, information on side quests and hunts, a detailed basics section, and appendices the likes of which you've never seen before. If you're stuck anywhere in the game, this guide will be your reference to get back on track or find what it is you are seeking.

• BASICS // General intro to the mechanics of the game, plus ten tips you must know.
