| Final Fantasy XII Presumably the last "main" game to be released on the PS2, FF12 broke the tradition of Battle Screens. It was also the sixth game ever to receive a perfect 40/40 score from the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu. |

Actually, I liked having the mini-map and the larger maps to refer to. I found that in the dungeons and areas of a lot of the other games, I really had no sense of where I was because of the lack of a map.
I also liked how a lot of the areas connected to each other. For example, the many entrances to Zertinan caverns. The map system in this game was well done, IMO.

From what I remember, I really had no problem with the mini-map in the corner. Took me a few minutes to figure out and a few more to get used to it...but overall, I found my way easily enough.

I never got confused with what direction I was going in but I did get lost quite often and had to backtrack, mainly because most of the map on some stages looked exactly the same and the mini-map just wasn't big enough.

I rarely consulted the minimap and mainly just went through areas and searched the areas and got used to which directions lead to where and followed landmarks. So all in all I had no trouble at all as I rarely use it! Same with other FFs tbh.

Shees some people sure find everything in FFXII is bad.
Map was very good and helpful. Some dungeons I went watching minimap not my characters so map was good but I think I could make with out it.Although it was definately more useful than minimap in FFX. XII dungeons were labyrints ( good thing) while X dungeons were usually only one, two-screens and then it was over(bad thing) .
