im glad i rented it for 5 bucks first cuz i almost bought it for 50 when it first came out... i hated the battle system, but the plot seemed interesting, but i hate that all the new final fantasy games have these weird battle systems or shitty job class systems but if they keep making games like this they arent going to sell well.

i dont see why so many ppl hate on this FF, its got refreshing art, great star wars esque story, great graphics, perhapes the best writing of any FF, and the ADB system is the best thing to happen to final fantasy since 7's presentation style.....sure the ADB isnt polished enough in FFXII to cater towards magic users, but its still one of the best and refinement in later FF games should make it the gold standard for rpg battle systems Message | Report |

Six hours in and I'm loving it so far! I just beat FFX last week, and this game seems so much better in so many ways. The story seems more...real. More believable, so far, and the entire setting is pretty cool. It's not some annoying kid in weird clothes playing freakin' blitzball (not to say that was bad, I loved FFX). The game just seems so much more serious, as well. Also, the production values are excellent. The way the characters move in the cutscenes is great, and the voice acting is spot on. I love the music, too. Considering all the love Uematsu gets, I went in with low expectations for XII after playing X, but I'm really liking the music. The Rabanastre music is great, and I find most of the other music to be a lot more subtle than FFX overall, and quite fitting in most cases. The soundtrack so far isn't as catchy as FFX's, but it goes better with the game than FFX's did, imo. I really don't understand all the hate this game gets. The only thing that is arguably worse than FFX, so far, would be the battle system, but I'm still learning the ins and outs of it, so I'm currently undecided. Of course, things could go downhill later on in the game... Message | Report |

FFXII is a modern day version of FFIV and FFV. It is a modern day pre-FFVI game. The reason it's hated is by mainly people that started with FFVI onwards and expect story to be the focus of the game. But before FFVI FF was all about gameplay. Oh and YOU DID NOT HAVE TO USE GAMBITS AT ALL OR ON ON ALL CHARACTERS! Message | Report |

I personally cannot fathom how this game is so popular. Then again, I am exactly the wrong sort for a MMORPG: I like my games to be to the point, I like my combat fast and interesting (but not grotesquely out of my favor nor tediously grind-based), I despise hidden dungeon traps and especially trick save points, and I prefer stories that actually have some real depth of focus instead of being side-stories to a much more interesting tale. Given that FF12 is basically FF11 Offline, that may well explain a lot. Oh yes, and when did Square take a cue from PC FPS games of yore and include brown as practically the only color in the environs? I'm not normally a sitckler for visuals, but when I can barely tell the difference between areas since they all look like the same brown wasteland, brown cave, brown ruins, and brown settlements, that's pretty bad. Apologies if this offended anybody, but it can't be avoided: FF12 is very much not my cup of tea. Which is tragic, since I enjoyed 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10 so much. Message | Report |

XII indeed is quite a different game to all other FF's. It's less hardcore RPG, that's maybe why some of you don't like it as much. In its own, it's probably the best (non-action) game for the PS2-format. It has so much it does so right. The graphics are simply amazing, as is the art-direction, the incredible music, the voice-acting, the animation, the combat-system. Even the story is compelling - although on a different, less personal level than lets say FFX. All in all, this is an instant classic - for many reasons. High point in the series. Message | Report |

I'm a huge FF fan but this game just did not do it for me... It was a solid game in terms of gameplay but there was just a complete lack of story and emotion in the game (unlike the previous FF games) i had no connection to the characters at all, it just didn't feel right. Don't get me wrong, i still clocked in about 100+ hours on the game, but when it came to the end i just gave up and never completed it! I really did like the Hunt aspect of the game though :D shame the esters were utterly pointless! Message | Report |

Yeah Basch was definitely great. I think they made Vaan too young to be the lead. Vaan was the same age (17/18) as previous characters like Squall, Tidus Cloud and Zidance. But in the latter cases, their teammates were the same age or slightly younger/older. (obviously you have the exception like an Auron) In FFXII, people like Balthier and Basch were noticeably more mature and older. I think the usage voice acting compounded the difference. It also would have helped to make Vaan's clothes a little more masculine. Message | Report |

I disagree on one point light bleeder. I like the Liscence system. You COULD make all the characters exactly the same, but you don't have to. Don't forget that they even ripped atleast 1 line directly from star wars. I'd never seen such a blatant rip-off before. He even through in a couple Tactics Ogre characters as if to say "I have no new ideas anymore." The game starts off really slow, because until you get party members you are just playing an MMORPG without the online interaction. I'd give the game a solid 6.5 Can't so i guess i'll go 7. It's not really a good RPG, but it's still an ok game. Message | Report |

It was worth the 50 bucks, but for a final fantasy game it was crap. Pros: - I liked the combat system, after two hours it went great when you had at least three party members, it was reaklly different from previous FF games, but it was still spectacular. - The orchestrated music was awesome, I loved it even though the composer from previous FF games left Squeenix before developing this game. Cons: - The story was really bad, it lacked the character development and depth from previous FF. It had elements that were never explained and some relatioships with no backstory. The story was almost the same one from Star Wars! from beginning to end! - The upgrading system was lame, you could get everyone on your party to have the same strenghts, use the same weapons and magic spells with the same effectivity. So the healer, magic caster, tank and attacker weren't really that different from each other. - Summons are worthless in this game. In previous FF the summons were the best attacks you could have, in FFXII they are completely weak and they take power from a bar that also counts to make the bast attacks in the game! So if you make a summon you cant't actually do the best attack. Afterall, this game will please some gamers, but for some of us that have played a lot of FF games before this game is BAD.
