I had to force myself to get to the end and when I finally got there all I could say was, "Well...thank goodness that's done with."

Lol, all that punishment for no reward huh?

Final Fantasy XII was revolutionary. The graphics and voice acting were simply the best out of all the final fantasies and the battle system really did take the game to new heights. The battle system gave the player more freedom, which actually makes it more like a "role - playing" game.

A lot of background info was given on the characters and this made me feel like I was actually part of the game and it made the emotional scenes even better.

The license system was great. It allowed you to basically make any type of character out of anybody. (warrior, thief, mage, etc.) The gambits really were what kept me going. After a while, the battle grew tiring and the gambits really sped up the grind of leveling up and earning license points.

Another thing I liked about the game were the uncountable side quests that actually add up to more hours of gameplay than the actual main story plot. These sidequests let me just relax for a while before I drive back into the main story. I beat the game a long time ago and I still haven't completed all the sidequests. Now, I just play every now and then when I'm bored and I know, one day I'll finish all the quests.

However, even though I loved this game, it wasn't my favorite. (FFVIII ftw):peace:

I share the same sentiment. I love the Final Fantasy series and in my opinion it is the best series in gaming, but XII was not a good addition to the series. I have noticed I down-ward trend since Final Fantasy X and it has not been up since. I never would have gotten XII had it not been a Final Fantasy title.

I loved it from beggining to end and I don't know what was so bad about it that a lot of people hated it! Or how they loved the piece of crap that's Crisis Core.

i liked the new fighting part and the Gambits and all but the story was lacking ....

I think FF XII is one of the worst Final Fantasy in story aspect. I tried to feel the story & every character, but I couldn't. I only love the game because the battle system & great graphic design of the game.
