Description

Final Fantasy XII delivers a sprawling, sandbox‑style world where players guide protagonist Vaan and his allies through Ivalice's complex political landscape.

Set on the continent of Ivalice, the title features a massive open map, diverse side quests, and a rich narrative that explores themes of war, freedom, and destiny. Its stunning visuals and orchestral score make it a landmark RPG for the PlayStation 2.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven open-world RPG in which you play Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter searching for his adopted daughter. It is celebrated for its mature writing, meaningful side quests, and a massive, hand-crafted world.
