Final Fantasy XII Spinoff Tech Demo Video Leaked

In more Square Enix blunder news, a video of the tech demo for an aborted action title has been leaked to the public.  The game which has been codenamed “Fortress” is said to be a continuation on the events of Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, taking place some time after the later.

The leak comes directly from staff members of the now defunct Swedish developer of the title, GRIN.  Apparently Square Enix reclaimed the outsourced project after being none too thrilled with GRIN’s work.  Shortly after GRIN filed bankruptcy, partially due to not being paid for the 6 months they put into Fortress.  This seems like a dick move since I kind of dig the video.  I daresay it makes me think of Final Fantasy XII meets Demon’s Souls *drool*  Also the concept art is kinda cool.

The project was handed off to another unknown developer and is reportedly still in development.  Fortress is said to be for PS3, Xbox, and PC.

A massive action game set in Ivalice sounds like a recipe for success.  I am definitely curious about what will come of all this, but I still feel kinda bad about what happened to GRIN.
