Not my Favorite, but very good.
I am a huge final fantasy nut and have played them all extensively. This one manages to have a new feel too it while doing a great job at keeping the nostalgic final fantasy feel. What's new is there are no longer random encounters and no battle screen to load. Instead your characters walk around among visable enemies that you can fight.^M
A failed attempt to please either camp. A monster of hybrid and frustrating bosses
Been anticipating this game since I'm a hardcore RPG player (both western and Japanese). But FF XII is a disappointment. I think it is one of the most overrated game of the year and Square-Enix failed to deliver a product to please old and new audience while trying hard to do so. The unnecessary way of prolonging gameplay for a game with a short story is just frustrating, disappointing and irritating. Square-Enix could lose a lot of support with this ill-fated overrated attempt of cross breeding western and Japanese RPGs cos it created a mutated monster that only live under the franchise name without the franchise substance. ^M
Disappointing as FF goes
After playing almost all the FF, especially VII through X-2, I expected better.^M
