| 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 was a great renovation to the whole FF battle system. You could literally go thru a battle without touching a button. Well, maybe not but near that anyway. But sometimes it didn't feel like a FF.

imo that isnt actually a positive, it makes strategy redundant, because setting gambits isnt strategy, its simple.
It takes a lot of the fun out of the game, it made FFXII a bit boring at times

I thought the new battle system was a step in the right direction, but still needs alot of work done to it for it to be worth a great new system. Like you said, it felt boring, and it alienated the player. Hopefully they further explore the free flowing battle system.

I actually love this game! It was my dad who first started it, although he bought it for myself. He kept telling me that it was a good game, how I wished I had listened earlier! ;]
It was the battle system that put me off firstly, but now that I've hijacked my dad's save file, I'm really enjoying it. I've yet to start it myself. I'm quite happy looking for marks & the likes. Overall, yeah, I really enjoy this game :]

I love FF12, that I do.
One of the best FF's in my book and probably highly underrated Final Fantasy games by its very own fans!
I like the new faster, active battle system they have placed in here.
Maybe that is because I like MMOs or stuff, but I think it was a step in the right direction to use such a battle system.
Honestly, turn based stuff is really starting to grind my nerves a bit...
FF12 has it shares of problems in the gameplay, yes, but I think it's damn good!

I agree, whilst it had its share of faults, they were mostly negligable and it is a great game, almost encyclopoediacally deep, I preferred the field system to the turn base, you still had to use gambits right when it came to the harder parts in the game and there were plenty of puzzles and siqe quests to keep you occupied, all this I'd rate this the best FF I've played but then again I've only played this, FFX, FFX-2 and Dirge of Cerberus.

Going to have to say... I didn't like... I didn't hate it... But I didn't like it. I felt no emotional connections to the characters unfortunately, the battle system was a step in the right direction apart from the fact I like to actually play the game during combat... Not watch the combat. People tell me "Turn off the gambits and play then" but that defeats the purpose of the new battle system. I believe it could have been way better, but just my thoughts on the game.

I like it, I played for 30 hours in a few days, before I stopped. Now I'm playing X, and soon I'll start XII again.

I love the Liscense Board, towns, and other such miscellaneous stuff, but I dislike it's story and characters.
Except Balthier. <3
