the good and the bad of Final Fantasy XII

[zidart]

well this is a game with a lot of controversy, so i wanted to know what did people liked or hated of this game. (by the way no spoilers please)

i'll start with my opinion

The good:

-No more random battles, the only part that i don't like of RPGs is the random battles, but not when i am in a new area but when im going to an old area and weak monsters start attacking and they don't even give a lot of EXP

- license board, it makes the character development, at first i thought, that all my characters would be the same thing because everyone has the same board. however i got very different characters since everyone went in a different path.

- story, i was ok with the romantic story of other final fantasy, but this one is about war. is not very easy to predict.

- gambit system, i like the gambits, i can make gambits for every event or problem, i have gambits for normal battles and gambits for boss battles, and although it sounds like the gambits control the game, there is always
suprise that makes me press X a lot of times

-hunting, hunting monsters is cool, some are really hard and makes for some good not annoying grinding.

- graphics and music, there is no argue although some songs are rather annoying the graphics are really good and the art desing, awesome

-world map, the world map is really cool because every location is conected by a long path (but there is the option of teleport crystals) and the world is really big, i dare to say bigger than the twilight princess world

The bad:

- although no more random battles is something good, the problem is when i want to run, this is a really big issue in many parts of the game where i got attacked by a really hard to beat monster

-license board, it's annoying when i get a cool accessory but i can't use ir because i was busy getting other licenses

- story, the only part of the story i didn't like is that the main character doesn't really feel really important.

-gambit system, that i want to have more commands but i need to get more licenses

-hunting, i hate to go and look for the guy who posted the bill, and once i killed the monster go back and tell him again

-graphics, the seeq look rather ugly but maybe they were meant to be like that, and some songs are repeated many times (giza plains for example)

- world map, well i have to go back to rabanastre, i am in phon coast, and i got no teleport stone, see the problem?


well that's my opinion. but overall it's a good game if you know how to play it

[Relambrien]

Hmm, well I never beat the game just because it was so freaking boring. Gambit system is awesome, I didn't really care for the battle system, and the License Board was just annoying.

The story just didn't captivate me at all or motivate me to keep playing, I got bored halfway through so I just stopped.

[ToshX]

Yeah, it bored me.

[zidart]

yeah there is a part of the game that it gets boring (discover how to use the dawn shard) but after that the story gets better

final fantasy has been my over all favorite game series since i was four, but ffx-2, ff11, and ff12 have led me to consider never buying a new final fantasy game again

[zidart]

yeah although final fantasy XII is a good game it doesn't really feel like a final fantasy. this is because the director of the series decided to leave the company, but well they can't mess with XIII i mean there's 3 of them what could possibly go wrong?

[tobi14]

i didnt think ffxii was very good, mayb a 4/10, but thats only my opinion and i mightve just not liked it cuz i wanted it to b mor like older ones in gameplay
