A few days ago, in an interview with the 20th anniversary developer of Final Fantasy XII on Famitsu, Tetsuya Nomura and Qiu Toriyama said that Final Fantasy XII-3 already had a script outline, and the possibility of developing a new game in the future was not zero. SE can remember the Final Fantasy XI0 series is certainly a pleasure, but the news released in advance makes today's 20th anniversary of the release of Final Fantasy XI0 seem a bit deserted, but fortunately, this does not affect the celebrations that players have prepared for a long time.
There was no official organization, no greetings between players, and an online birthday celebration began.
<h4>The brush moves</h4>
It seems that many players have become a big touch after 20 years, and the congratulatory picture of the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy XII on Twitter is simply not too much. Netizens @Emy_san_arts drew a scene of Tida and Yuna hugging, with the caption: I am in your arms, Happy Final Fantasy XI0 anniversary.
The big touches who drew the greeting picture for Final Fantasy XII this time generally chose to draw the couple of Tida and Yuna, which made @ayukichi_illust's painting more special, because her favorite of all the Final Fantasy male protagonists was Tida, so she only drew one person. Painters sometimes prefer to be true to their desires when they are creating, rather than going with the flow.
There are also some painters who have their own style and strong desire to express, such as this netizen named Katsudon Riku, and I vaguely see the taste of "Blade Teeth" from Tida's face.
If you are really not used to the above style, you can also look at the congratulatory pictures of netizens @kitaya2017, not only the main characters are drawn, but the summoning beast behind it is also very bold:
No matter how many times you play Final Fantasy XII, you will be happy, no matter how many times you play Final Fantasy XI0, you will be sad to the point of crying, this is my favorite work. I am grateful for our encounter.
Netizens @okaybeex paintings give people a small fresh feeling, she wrote in a tweet:
It's July 19th, Japan time, which means it's the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy XII! This game meant a lot to me as a kid, and it's the same today when I became an adult. It has been an important part of my life for the past 20 years, Happy Birthday Final Fantasy XII !!! My favorite game!
@decafdraws this picture is very powerful, and a smell of ukiyo-e comes to the fore:
It's hard to believe that 20 years have passed since then, and as the first Final Fantasy I came into contact with, Final Fantasy 10 has always meant a lot to me. This is a work I painted in 2012, inspired by Katsushika Hokusai's artwork.
In addition to the serious drawing, there are also creative priority among the friends who draw the greeting picture this time. This picture comes from the line emoji author @MOFloveMEAT, although the picture is not Tida and Yuna herself but cosplay, but this picture is so cute that I don't want to miss it.
The next painting looks a bit like a child's stick figure, but this is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy XII, not a contest of painters, and the painting @rimimi60771857 by netizens is simple but sincere:
Happy Birthday Final Fantasy XII, I used to play games with the help of friends and brothers, as a game idiot, my first personal game was Final Fantasy XII, I haven't seen Yuna Jr. for a long time (♡>ω
In the end, this friend should not belong to the painter, @Ria_neearts use a 3D model, but the scene of the two smiling in the sunflower field has been recognized by many netizens.
<h3>Next: More</h3>
<h4>It's time to pull out the treasure at the bottom of the pressure box</h4>
In addition to the big guy who draws the greeting picture, of course, there are players who are collecting. @YunalesckaGames posted her own PS2 version of Final Fantasy XII, and it can be seen that she is very well kept, and 20 years later, she is still quite good.
Although the next collection is not as well preserved as the above, @fulviabuonanno posted the game with 3 signatures, which makes the game suddenly expensive:
Happy 20th Anniversary of Final Fantasy XII, you are the most unique game I will always love you and will enjoy every play. Hopefully, this story will move more people, thank you final fantasy XII for bringing me memories, and thank SE for creating this masterpiece.
Next is a signature version of the game, netizens @Shin_Garza posted is the signature PS3 version of "Final Fantasy 10/10-2".
Netizens @KswHiro posted their own collection of "Final Fantasy X/X-2 Ultimate Box":
The PS2 version of Final Fantasy XII celebrates its 10th anniversary, and it's the new, second-hand Final Fantasy X/X-2 Ultimate Box that I received a few years ago, and when I received it, there were no scratches on the outside and the game was not opened. I took Out Final Fantasy X and played it, and Final Fantasy X-2 hasn't been opened yet. "Forever Naki" I have also watched several times.
Then let's take a look at the collection of a big guy, netizens @nv8sayWTF can definitely see that she is a true love fan of "Final Fantasy 10", I turned over so many 20th anniversary celebration tweets, and the number of her collections is the largest at present. I don't know if there are more hidden big guys in the station than she does.
In the end, this friend dried his own handicrafts, two versions of the Tida rag doll, presumably from the idea to the production of the finished product took a lot of time.
<h4>How many 20 years can there be in life</h4>
In addition to posting pictures and collecting, in fact, more friends will choose to miss their lost youth today. When I first came into Final Fantasy XII@MommaBearJazz was just a 10-year-old:
Happy 20th anniversary of final fantasy XII, my favorite game in the world. I can't put into words how important this game is to me. In 2001, when I was a 10-year-old, I met and opened Final Fantasy XII, it was everything, it was as simple as that, it was a masterpiece for me.
It may be that today is busy, netizens @AdamYoshi4 to celebrate the birthday of "Final Fantasy 10" two days in advance:
Two days from now, it's final fantasy XII's 20th birthday, and it went on sale on July 19, 2001. Time flies, and I remember playing this game when I was very young, and I ended up crying like a pool. I watched Teddah grow as the game progressed, the last great Final Fantasy game Squaresoft made.
In order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy XII today, @P1f1cJqNIGLx3Iw specially turned over his PS2 version of the Final Fantasy XI0 game disk:
Happy 20th Anniversary of Final Fantasy XII, I've loved the story, characters, and music of this work since 20 years ago, and I can't forget the adventures I've had with Tida, and thank you to the people who made it so good.
Netizen @TJoker0190 was obviously heartbroken by Final Fantasy XII-2, and he wrote in a tweet:
It's July 19th in Japan, which means it's been 20 years since Final Fantasy XII went on sale. I can't describe how important this game was to me, it was my guide to JRPG and one of my favorites for so many years. (So don't do Final Fantasy XII-3!) ）
The last friend who recalls Final Fantasy XII is special, Mr. Narita, who voices the protagonist Tida:
What began today 20 years ago was "My Story" and, of course, "My Origins."
It's an eternal story that never goes away.
How does a game not disappear, is it constantly launching new works? I don't think so. Even after 20 years, there is still such a group of people who remember Final Fantasy XII, and presumably in another 10 or 20 years, these players will never forget the game for the rest of their lives, because it is already a part of their lives.
