There's not a lot in the game that made me move away from it for a duration of time, though other factors might've forced me to put it to one side. However, I will note the lack of cutscenes and general interaction between the party and other NPCs throughout, making it very much as 'free roaming' as a game can get.

Freedom's nice... but eesh, unnecessary much?

The lack of difficulty was disappointing, but not enough to make me want to put it down. The aesthetics was sufficient enough for me to stick with it until completion.

Last time, I got distracted from it, but I played it almost to the end last time.
It's a great game, but it can be hard and daunting due to its sheer size and complexity. I'm having no problems with getting through it this time.

A little too much choice, agreed... wanted a proper classes system.

The game is just. Way. Too. Long.

If I didn't get so sucked into the side quests, the game wouldn't be so long, but in order to be at any decent levels, you have to do the side quests.

I haven't even beaten it yet. =/ I need to, but I'll admit, it just doesn't have the pull like many others do. [Maybe...it's because I ruined the ending and watched the FMV before I played the game. xD]

I over played it in the first 3 - 4 weeks I had it. I got to like 90 hours then stopped. I couldn't play.

Then around 3 - 4 months later I started playing again. Played a further 60 hours before finishing. Yes 150 hours.

I pretty much quit playing this game. I just did not find it interesting or intriguing at all.

Might as well have been a Star Wars game TBH.

At first, I was actually really into the game. I couldn't stop playing for a few weeks, even if the storyline bored me a bit due to the fact that some parts were just too confusing for me. Then I stopped playing for a few months...not because I found it lacking in any way, but because like you, SapphireStar, I got interested in other games.

When I finally did get back to it, however, I found that I became a little more disappointed in the game overall. I'm not sure why. It's as if I was forcing myself to finish the game already and be done with it - hence, the lack of enjoyment.

I still appreciate the game though. I just think that previous FF series were better than XII.

If you ask me, I say to give the game a chance. It's different for many people - I just happen not to like it as much as the other series.

Personally I love it, but I agree with the overmuch freedom granted and a not-well defined class systems.
Plus the last boss was a real let down, did anyone else think that?
First playthrough I beat him at level 48...
that was way too easy
I miss hard last bosses like in IX and X...
Ok not hard, but better...

I'm taking a break from it right now to play FFIX, but I know I'll get back to it soon.. I'm too close to the end to just stop playing completely. O_O That'd be craazy.

It's an awesome game, people just need to give it another chance.
