Square-Enix Final Fantasy XII =/= A game

I agree, wholeheartedly. I played the demo that came with the most recent PS2 Dragon Quest, and thought it was awful. :X

 

...

 

You may not enjoy the upgrading system, but I did, yeah, sure you also had to buy the item so you could use it and make sure that you had the certain ability to equip it. Sure no monsters gave you Gil and you had to sell loot to get gil, so what? That just adds up to the game's challenge and makes it so you have to work, harder for stuff, I have no problem with that.

So what about the gameplay. What if it's not TBA, yeah sure, the TBA was exciting but you can't have it in everything, you need to try out diffrent things, instead of worshipping the TBA System.

 

Those are the only things I ever touched. I heart youtube.

 

It's a shame what they made FFXII like. I for one, was waiting 5 Years for FFXII but now, this game is just crap. I'm sorry, but look at FF1 to 10, they were great, what happened to 12? The story is basically about Ashe, she wants to be the QUeen of Dalmasca, cause Vayne stole her place as the king, i don't get then, why the people of Dalmasca semm to be happy about the king, i mean if he is so evil, why are they so happy? It's not like i had to save the country then. O___o

The gameplay is not too bad, but it could be better, much better.

The music, well, it's simply not Nobuo Uematsu, and that sucks. The new composer sure does his job good, but Nobuo knew how to make the best music for every game.

 

You bring up a lot of good points. I personally liked the game, however I do agree that the story is cliché as all hell.

 

Yeah, I don't like the game either mostly because of the same reasons that you said

 

You sir, are insane. Horrible voice acting.
1. Compression. WAY Too much compression.
2. Ba-Ha-Moot?

Anyawys, i liked the game because of the battle system and the areas.
IMO, this games world would have been good for an MMORPG, and i would have liked it better if it was.

 

I am also in the minority D: I liked this game alot. As far as storylines go, I usually guess most of the storyline and twists in all FF games after 6, so I mostly stopped caring so much in that area. And while I agree that the gameplay is overly praised since it was used in FFXI already, its nice to enjoy it without the monthly subscription. Much better than another turn-based one. The thing I hear alot though is the pointless *****ing about gambits. I could understand if you were forced to put on specific ones, but you arent. They obviously knew that making a gambit for every single possible action would mean that you can auto the game if you collect all the right ones. But being far enough to have that much gambit space means you've fought quite a bit of enemies to collect all those LPs. And seeing as only certain gambits are available in shops and the better ones being in dungeons, you're probably far into it to create a perfectly self-sustaining ally. So you can auto the whole game if you're really that lazy, but you cant do it anywhere near efficient till much later. And I thought the License grid was great since you could try and get more points without constantly moving forward to harder and stronger enemies for those people that are having trouble.

Also:


Yes, thats right. All the hotties of FFXII. Even girly little larsa. Let their manly abs burn a visage of madness into your retinas.

 

You can auto certain things like LPs (the ghost thing that spawns the other undead things) But other than that, i never really used gambits.

edit: and there's always Action Mode

 

Personally, I thought the game was as equally good at FFX and X-2, the only two other games I put my hands on. One being because at least they made the battle system different than its previous games. Another thing was that I actually like the voice-acting. I mean, having the characters have attempted British accents went okay. Of course the plot was broken at the end and I admit, maybe that was to have some improving. But I do consider it a game. It's enjoyable in my opinion but I can understand why people didn't like it. You get some, you miss some.

 

I liked the game but you make plenty of wonderful points. Mainly on the gambit system, its really took away some time of play for me, mostly cause i didn't understand them until halfway through the damn game, and they got really gay when everyone was out of magic and you were the one left, while all the other panzy ass characters sat around waiting because they would skip a chain of command. Secondly, very Star Wars and I did spend the whole time I played trying to figure out why someone would design his abs like that.

 

DO YOU HAVE A BIGGER VERSION OF THIS IMAGE?

:^D ?

 

I remember when I thought Larsa was a girl, it was quite a suprise when I found out he was Vayne's little brother.

 

You know, this game does have a flavor of suck to it. But, it is one of those games that I get bored and play because I have nothing else to do.

 

the game seemed nice at first with reks but then vaan came with his scary abs :3

i just like the cutscens in it other than that it's the worst ff game ever

i thought no one noticed vaans scarry abs

 

That's about how I'd rate it too. I really didn't care for the game or FFX for that matter. I hope FF XIII and the other game that is parallel with it are much better because the new FF games are just disappointing me.

 

Got XII.

Played about 8 hours.

Gave to friend.

Need to beat it still.
