GRIN Worked on Final Fantasy… Wait, What?

Recently deceased publisher GRIN was working on several projects at the time it closed operations… One of which was apparently a new game for Square set in the Final Fantasy XII universe.  The action-oriented project nicknamed “Fortress” was never completed, but some of the art and design assets were uncovered via the increasingly popular method of snooping resume and portfolio websites.

Well-deserved kudos to superannuation for finding this, as I am now salivating at what could have been a nicely developed game set in Ivalice.  If it was anything like Vagrant Story, I’d be ecstatic!
