Thank you! I personally think some of you just dislike it due to the lack of male playable characters.

I thought teh battle system was pretty decent, and teh job system could have had a little more depth to it, But im a big fan of ff5's job system. Overall the game wasn't that bad, definately not teh best FF, but i would say that its better then ff2.

haha yeah this game is incredibely corny and a waste of a project. if it could ruin anything it would have been just X and not the whole series, just because instead of people thinking how good X was they'd jsut think about how bad X-2 was. but its all good for me cause i still like X and despise X-2. but i did like its optional ending...the one where tidus swims out of the water and yuna and the crew land their airship and tidus and yuna are reunited.

I think it would be going too far to say it ruined the series, it was a different approach, didn't work out too well, but it wasn't terrible.

I think Square-Enix made this game to try and branch out the Final Fantasy audience to more female players. I think it actually did accomplish its goal, as I have seen an increase in interest from people you would never expect to play Final Fantasy. I don't have any legitimate source for this, it's just an idea.

Ok this game is so bad that ea helped them make it.... EA cannot make anything! all they have gave us is football games *yawn* and the sims :/

Now this game has gotten people calling ppl who play the series f*gs and so on...

First off all Its to girly and secound of all they ruined a perfectly good game with a gd ending...

THIS WAS THE FALL OF FINAL FANTASY -.-
Here's a point-by-point breakdown for ya...

Okay, to the first point...X-2 ruined the series. If you think that one game you don't like can do that YOU TAKE YOUR FINAL FANTASY WAAAAY TOO SERIOUSLY.

As for EA's part, if I remember correctly, they didn't have anything to do with the development, but rather North American distribution. Settle down.

Well, are you a f*g???

So they ruined a game with a perfectly good ending. Yeah, I remember when the Square-Enix honchos showed up at my door and shoved a gun in my face saying they'd shoot me if I didn't buy the game...


The Fall of Final Fantasy. See Point # 1.

I'm a female player & this game bores me to tears. I can't get past the silliness of it all.

I enjoyed playing through FFX-2 more than FF12. What I really liked about X and X-2 were that the characters had great interaction with one another. Final Fantasy 12 had the better world but I found majority of the characters to be stagnant and flat. (Not all of them)

Yuna and company at least had varied interaction with one another.
Overall, I thought it was a good game. It wasn't a masterpiece by any means but it was fun to go through once.

Didnt ruin FFX but it made me hate Yuna and the game just seems stupid, slutty.

The gameplay was great but i just hated the yuna, paine and rikku in it.
