does anyone else think that this game is riddiculously long?! OMFG! im run around all over the place trying to find the right way..and even with the walkthrough its still harder than snot! i like the story...but the gameplay kinda ruined it for me anyone else think this game was a dud?
I liked the game, but it was way ridiculously hard and long. Yes, even with walkthroughs it was insane...
Insanely long game. But also a very good one. The fact that the walkthrough is an inch long in paperback form is kinda scary. It's almost as long as FFVII, and look at how good a game that is though.
i mean dont get me wrong i enjoy it...(the cutscenes) but the game play was a miss for me i hated all the running around...more so that normal FF games
I do think FFXII was a step in the right direction, but with FFXIII coming out, they have that chance to improve the gameplay by a whole lot.
I definately found the giant crystal to be ridiculously hard. I hate walkthroughs, but I had to use one for that.
i agree with that...alot of the game was fantastic the graphics the voice overs..and the plot was great! i also did enjoy not haveing random battles...that really pissed me off in FFX where you would walk around then BAM! then there was that damn battle theme
Depends. The story's pretty short. You spend most of your time navigating dungeons. Plot's broken too. Characters didn't develop. But I'll blame that on the game going through several directors over the course of 5 years. Better luck next time, SE.
lol yeah, oh course it'll be hard. well I LOVED the game. I cant believe so many people dont like it D8 I thought the storyline was absolutely easy and the gambits system helped a lot too. what was really hard was some of the optional bosses and the hunts you go on.
Seriously, the last optional boss takes like 7 hours, and that's following the official guide's instructions. Of couse, if you set up the gambit stuff right, then you don't even need to watch, you can just turn of the t.v. and wait for a couple of hours(something I hate about the combat system).
Sheesh, you guys are complainen alot about the game. Not for nothing, but I mean, the game isn't really all THAT long for me. I love the game, and I have no problem with the length. THe only problem is the game play. But I mean, given all that they did to it, I think of this game as more of a type of 'prototype' of what is to come, by giving a new battle system, so they can learn what to do and what not to do.
It took me a good long time to get a good walkthrough and took me longer to beat the game. You need to have patience or else you won't beat it. Are you dying alot?
Well I mean, some people might think it is longer cuz of bosses. If anything, the one major thing that I learned after getting half way (in like a week and a half might I add) is making sure that you have a high level. The minute I got half way through I was tryen to get through the mines and caverns, then I kept on dieing cuz these stupid bats kept on killing me >.> so as long as u have a leveling up system, then its all good really
i loved the hunts as an optional thing as it wasn't to hard and sometimes fun to fugure out where the marks are... bu... i nvere really liked the characters much... gligamesh was pretty fun though... and migello felt like a lind uncle or something... battle-system is a nice touvh but i think the game was a liiiitle to much of a dungeon runner... although far from my favorite FF it's not a bad game at all...
