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.

FFXII - My Opinion...

I own ALOT of FF stuff, and rare FF stuff at that. My fav games are FF and i know alot about FF. Nuff boasting.


Is it just me, or does anyone else find FFXII boring? I'm sorry but i really cant get into it. I've played FFXII for 7/8 hours now and i don't really know much of the story because i've played it on and off since it came out because it bores me to tears. The new battle system seemed great at first, but it has just become tedius.

The way you cannot select 'cure' from the main menu and keep curing a character takes the mick, because you get hit as you cast cure (if a monster is by you). The battle system is flawed in that sense.

The game doesn't progress well. e.g near the beginning of the game, you get monsters that can kill your whole party.

*maybe spoiler*


I'm up to where you face some of the Judge-lookalikes with the big helmets and my HP just isn't up to it. I've not trained extra hard, (why should i? i'm only 8 hours into it!) i normally begin training super hard as i get towards the end.

The game goes from stupidly easy to stupidly hard. The levelling up system is pretty poor.


I'm sorry but like it or lump it, this is my opinion. I wish they kept everything like the old FF's. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

Anyone else got any likes/dislikes to add?

I noticed that there were 3 other threads complaining about FFXII, so I'll merge them all together.

Sweeeet, now we has one giant bitch thread instead of 4 different ones
So to be on the topic of bitching, here's a quick thing I was quite unhappy with:

The special edition version of FF12. The box is ugly, and everything on the bonus disc is pointless crap like artwork thats in the strategy guide. Waste of the extra $10, if you ask me.

I agree, all it was a shitty coloured piece if tin with a huge XII put into the middle of it

Anyway, I didn't find the story all that bad, I liked thw whole political side of it...it was the depth of the characters that ruined it...and it makes a change from all the sappy love stories they made

I don't think that was even released over here. I'm glad I didn't see it in the shops anyway or that would have been more of Bam's money wasted. I'm a tit like that you see, I always seem to make a beeline for the expensive stuff...like the guide. I could of got the normal one for the usual 12 quid but noooooo I had to ge the hard back one that was almost 20 quid

Iv never even looked at it, THAT's how much attention I gave this game. All my other guides are dog eared to feck.....

I'm sure one day....I'l get round to playing it again but it just didn't suck me in like all the others did

If anyone dares to make another "FFXII IS REALLY SHIT LOLOLOMGWTFISIT6PMALREADY?!!!!" thread, I'll get on my special Destruction Explosion Ass Kicking Foot Boot, and give them some POWER TIME.

In reply to Shyne, levelling system poor, wtf? Yeah, that's why I'm above average level for this point in the game. This point meaning, I should be moving onto Giruvegan, but it freaks me out ;_;

I wish all of these boards (sphere grids, liscense board, etc) would go away in the FF games. What happened to just having a character use a certain weapon and armor specific to them? I'm just glad the battle system had an active/wait function when choosing commands. And dont get me started on gambits
