FF12 was fine….but nothing amazing. And FF is my favorite franchise. I played through FF12 like 5 times without finishing…because I always got bored and stopped. I finally played through and finished about 2 years after getting it, and I STILL don’t really remember the story. FF is about telling a beautiful story and 12 failed miserably on that. Plus the characters were not loveable. Especially the main character (worst main character ever.
The battle system was OK. I don’t like the gambit nonsense, or the license board especially, but it’s not the worst thing in the world. Just storywise and chracterwise FFXII was a shame on the series.

I don’t know about the second one. But the first one was one of the worst RPG games I’ve ever played.

13-2 was WAYYY better than 13. The story was just much better, and the lack of linearity and better hunts made it actually a good game.

i lost most of my interest in jrpg’s after the turn based mechanic was replaced with live action in FF XII. I just dont care to worry about all this bull goin on at one time when im trying to enjoy an amazing story. and then then you have XIII and that terrible game. litterally walking in a line for 40 hours straight and i never quite knew what the hell was going on in the confusing story. and the game mechanic was absolutely horrible.

I can’t wait to get The Last Story. I do wish there was a bigger market for JRPGs over here. Fortunately, in another year my Japanese should be good enough for me to play them in Japanese. :)
