Final Fantasy XII shares rise with strong positive reception

Final Fantasy XII (PS2) (+6.08 +2.00%) rose to close at 304.10 DKP (forecasts 3.04 million copies sold worldwide) last night following a wave of positive reviews with the game's release Tuesday. Since Monday, the stock has risen +17.89 DKP (+6.12%) from 292.29 DKP. US sales should build strongly on top of the 2.4 million copies of Final Fantasy XII that have already sold in Japan. Critics' reception for the game has been equally positive in the UK and the rest of Europe. Many RPG fans have drawn themselves from their usual World of Warcraft raids for the past few days to explore the world of Ivalice, which many call the "Best RPG of the Year."
