Final Fantasy XII Leaked on Torrent Sites

U.S. version appears online just weeks before release

October 5, 2006

The North American version of Final Fantasy XII, Square Enix's next installment in its long-running RPG series, has been leaked online. The full version of the game has appeared on Torrent download sites and, sources say, the files do in fact contain the full version of the game.

Final Fantasy XII was released in Japan earlier this year and is due out on October 31 in North America. The origin of the pirated copy of the game is still unknown, but if the original infringement is discovered, it's expected that Square Enix will take legal action.

The rumors sprouted shortly after it was announced that the highly-anticipated Xbox 360 title Gears of War had been leaked online, but that rumor turned out to be false.

Square Enix has yet to comment on the leak.
