Final Fantasy XII is a console role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix Co., Ltd., and the twelfth installment in the Final Fantasy video game series. The Final Fantasy series is so famous that we've even had a top 10 of their most wanted cheats. It was released in 2006, and was the first single-player Final Fantasy in five years. It is also the last numbered Final Fantasy game for the Sony PlayStation 2 video game console. Selling more than two million copies, it was the fourth best-selling PlayStation 2 game of 2006. The game takes place in the fictional continent of Ivalice, where the empires of Archadia and Rozarria are waging an endless war. Dalmasca, a small kingdom, is caught between the warring nations. When Archadia invades and occupies Dalmasca, its princess, Ashe, creates a resistance movement. During the struggle, she meets Vaan, a young adventurer who dreams of commanding an airship. They are quickly joined by a band of allies; together, they rally against the tyranny of the Archadian Empire. Here's what you can unlock in this superb title:

Secrets
Zodiac Spear The most powerful weapon in the game has a trick to it that those who have to open EVERY treasure chest would miss out on. There are 4 places with treasure chests that must NOT be opened in order for the Zodiac Spear to appear:
1) Treasure chest in Lowtown, outside of Old Dalan's place
2) When sneaking into the palace (Before getting the Goddess Tear), there are several chests in the Cellar. Do not open the two chests in the southeast corner.
3) All treasure chests in the Confiscatory (the place where you get your weapons and armor back after being captured)
4) In the Phon Coast, later in the game, there is an island with 16 chests all near each other. The 4th chest that must NOT be opened is among these, so it is best to leave them all alone. They only contain Gil anyway.
If you've left all these treasures be, you'll find the Zodiac Spear in the Necrohol of Nabudis. It sports a whopping +150 attack and, like all spears, +8 Evasion.
