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.

Reddas's pants were godawful. Bright green and purple? wtf, it looks like a 5 year old, My Little Pony-obsessed girl stitched his pants together from scraps bought in the walmart crafts section. He definitely has the worst outfit in the game. And he has mutton chops. Eww.

Ummm....my favorite characters are Balthier and Fran. Balthier seems pretty cool and knows what he's doing (although i still don't like his hair). And i absolutely adore Fran. At first i thought she'd just be a hooker and was only there for eye candy, but it turned out she was really level-headed and smart.

I could put more...but i've ranted about this game so much i'm started to get tired just thinking about it. Oh, the Pharos are the worst conceived area in the game, even worse than the Stillshrine of Miriam. I do NOT want 5 hours of dungeon crawling. If i wanted that i'd play the Legend of Zelda (not a diss to Zelda, it does dungeon crawling much better).

Character(s):
Favourite: Fran and Larsa. It's hard to say why, but I found each of them most interesting. I enjoyed some of the mystery with Larsa and Fran was the most distinct character, I felt.
Least favourite: Vaan! He was rather pointless. :/ He wasn't really a character at all.


Area(s):

Favourite: The Phon Coast. It was beautiful. I also enjoyed Giza (I believe) Plains. I enjoy the beautiful areas since I'm one who often admires scenery. =]
Lease favourite: Sandsea, Tomb of Raithwall. I wasn't a huge fan of large dungeons. I find they can be rather tedious and the areas monotonous.


Music:
Favourites: Opening movie, Penelo's Theme, Eruyt Village, Time for Rest, Symphonic Poem: Hope (and others). They were simply beautiful.
Least favourite: Small Happiness... Pointless. I don't really like the shorter pieces and there are others I dislike due to the fact they sound too epic, but I can't think of which...


Voices:
Favourite: Fran, Balthier, Basch and Ashe. Out of those three, I'd say I liked Fran's most. I've heard some say they found her voice annoying but I actually liked it. It made her sound wise and truly added to her character.
Lease favourite: Penelo. Just a tad too much like Rikku.


FMV:
Favourite: Opening movie, the one where Vaan's hanging from Balthier's small aircraft, Ashe remembers Recks, Ending. All of these scenes were beautiful. Since I make music videos, I appreciate scenes with characters and ones that give off a certain atmosphere or mood.
Least favourite: Any short ones that didn't tell the story.

What? Can you honestly say they weren't a gigantic eyesore?

Best track on the OST: the song that plays during the Second Ascent in the Pharos. I rarely ever notice the start of a new track in XII, but when it started in all heavy and ominous it immediately caught my attention.

Reddas' pants are CRAZY. xD Maybe that's why I love 'em.

The only peice of music I liked was at mt bur omisace (if thats where that chocobo mark was)

The battle system was too bloody fast for me, I couldn't get my head round the gambits until right near then end. Altho once Id gotten used to it it was great not having random encounters anymore I still sucked on the boss battles tho

I liked Balthier and Fran though, I think it would of been so much better if he was the main character. Vaan who? The most pointless lead in any FF game ever

The only time I really cringed heavily in the game was when I first stepped onto the Tchita Highlands or Uplands or "lands" of some sort and heard recycled Giza Plains background music.

I thought Reddas's pants rocked, very unique and out there, indicative of a big personality wanting to make a big statement. He was obviously comfortable enough in his fashion choice to wear such different pants. Maybe he thought they would catch the attention of the ladies .

Reddas just looked like a clown

Atho I loved having him in my party, he was pretty hard for a circus reject

Favorites

Areas: I loved the detail that was put into the different areas of the game. Especially in places like the bazaar in Rabanaster. I would often have Vann go up to a wall or storefront so I could move my camera around and see all of the amazing detail. It was cool to see moving clouds in the plains as well. I liked how having it rain sometimes and having it be sunny sometimes made the plains seem more realistic. I also liked how large most of the areas were. It took a while to get through some of them, and I like doing that more than whipping right through to the next area.
Most Favorite Areas: Rabanaster, Jahara, Giruvegan, and Archadia.

Characters: I really liked Basch and Fran. I thought both characters had interesting outfits and they both had interesting backgrounds. As someone has posted already, Fran wasn't just a big piece of eye candy prancing around. She was actually intelligent, and a good character to have around. Basch just kicked butt :] (I liked the multicolored checkerboard under his lether vest)

I LOVED the Garif. They were so mysterious and cool looking. I have a bunch of theories as to what they look like under their masks. I also love the voice for the Garif cheif. It was so interesting to listen to.

I also really liked the Nu Mou, but they were not a big part of the game at all.

Music: I don't have a lot of favroite music from this game...I actually thought a lot of it was kind of annoying.

FMV: The opening FMV. I really enjoyed seeing some of the characters that worked with the king. There was one in particluar w/ white hair that I wanted to be a playable character. Rasler wasn't too bad to look at either

Gameplay: I LOVED the gameplay in this Final Fantasy. It was really smooth, and I liked the battle system. Going on Hunts was really fun, and I thought they were great sidequests. I liked the freedom you had too. There weren't a lot of restrictions once you got past the first part of the Game, and you could kind of just w
