Love It or Hate It? - Page 15

I hate it actually

, The characters are just dull, the storyline is kind of crap, and I didn't like the battle system because the only thing I did was watching the Scenes and it's all because of the gambits which I picked to cover every little possibility of losing and so I ended up moving my character only the game wasn't much of a challenge, I liked one thing however and it was the scenes.

i like it. i like the story. i like the characters. i like the new license board concept. the mini games and side quests are decent.

the only thing i DIDN'T like is the fact that, to get better weapons, you have to sell loot. to get that certain loot, you'd have to battle 30 of the same characters to get a chain so they would fianlly drop the item. just a big huge pain in the ass!

i loved it. especially at the begining with only vaan as a playable character

I love it

mostly for Balthier and Fran but it's a pretty decent game, these days people don't really focus on the story and characters much because of the newer technology so they concentrate more on graphics and battle systems.

I don't actually mind Vaan, even though I reckon Balthier should have been the main character, he IS the leading man after all

but thats just my opinion.

Gotta say FFXII is a good game. i liked how the creators incorporated the ability to use different weapons rather then having one character b stuck with one type of weapon 4ever =S. didn't like tho the fact that in order to get the best weapons u had to do such ridiculously time consuming annoying chains on rare monster. God it took 4ever to get the sunflower!!!

I feel like such a dirty whore for saying this, but for a while now I've had an urge to start a new file...and I have to say, I'm loving it.

I'm only 10 hours into it, I just got out of the Barheim Passage and made my way to Rabanastre, and I'm really enjoying things. Also I've had a MUCH easier time handling fights too. My first file it took me a while to get the hang of gambits and I was wasting LP so for about the first 1/4 of the game it was really hard, but now I'm breezing through everything.

^I'm at the same point as you right now, really.

I really love this game because of the eradication of the whole battle screen thing, and the fact that you can change party leaders at will, which is absolutely awesome. I know those are pretty simple things to love about the game, but they were things that tended to get on my nerves with the previous installments of Final Fantasy. I also have to say that I love it because of Ashe, but that'd be me being a total fangirl, wouldn't it?

Anyway; I thought I'd be pissed because I spent almost 100 hours playing the game, got up to Giruvegan (yeah I know, took me forever, but I tended to leave the game on while I went out and such..bad habit), then I had the urge to start a new file, and when I saved it -- I accidentally overwrote my main file. I was pissed at first, but after I started playing it again I didn't care anymore. I just love the game that much.

Now if it was FFVII or FFVIII I would have been livid.

i would have to say that I like what they did in this game. >> It certainly was way better than that sphere grid in FF 10 even though i did like that game because of the story line. What i liked was you could just grind and grind and collect license points to purchase those much needed licences and then you could use that magic spell, etc etc. The one thing I liked the most was the quickens which helped me defeat many a boss.

I neither love nor hate it...

Pro:
- Basch; I admit I found that character very interesting, especially the end with Gabranth
- gameplay; gambits were great. You could do everything while fighting - they did all by themselves. I really enjoyed that. :3
- music; I think I only like the end because of the song played there (Kiss me Goodbye <3)
- story; although some say that the story wasn't that great... in the end, I really liked it ^^ I didn't see why I was doing everything (for Vaan to get near Penelo? for Ashe to get her kingdom back? for Basch to show he was no traitor? for Balthier to keep his imagination alive that he is the hero of everything?) but in the end I did see it: Just destroy Vayne and everything's over! .... wait a moment, that sounds pretty negative. What I should say is: I liked how political it sometimes was

Con:
- characters' emotions; where were they? Did they slip past me? I didn't see many emotions. I'm used to that because of Auron of FFX, but compared to Tidus and Yuna, there was NOTHING of emotions. Sometimes I didn't understand them. Even when they told about really serious matters. (Think about Balthiers past... What he said was shocking, but it didn't really matter...)
- Perhaps now the right moment has come to say it again: WHY DID I PLAY THE GAME??? T_T" I really don't know.

All in all, as you can see, I like the game. But love? No. Not till I find out why I was playing it.

i dont really hate or love it sure the gameplay blew all the other games so far out of the water but there wasnt enough emotion.the storyline was okish and the boss fights were awesome especially chaos and ultima but there were a LOT of things missing from the game itself.after i finnished it i stopped playing it as often and i only play it when i get bored.
