The Best Final Fantasy?

July 14, 2007, 7:51 PM

There has been people who have started threads saying they hate this game. I have to say I strongly disagree! In fact it may be my favourite Final Fantasy. The story isn't depressing and sad, I can really warm to the characters and I adore the battle system! Does anyone agree with me?

i have to disagree, im sorry

but its just that the story was too short and the characters were not that appealing to me

this is actually my least favorite of the final fantasy series

I've confessed it before, but I'll say it again, FFXII is my favorite. I don't think the story was short at all, in fact it times in as way longer than most other games (not just FF's, either).

i ve gotta disagree i found this game.....well the right word is ''dull''
the characters the storyline the battle system all very dull it just didnt appeal to me at all. There were a few plusses the graphics were amazing and there was plenty of places to explore.
Ive only played through the game once at some point im gonna play it again and see how it fairs on a re-run.

im playing it for a second time now..first time i didn't do much sidequests or hunts just enough to complete it. This time im gonna perfect it

I found this to be my favorite now also. I'm on my second play through and I'm using different characters as my main party and different weapons to mix things up. The game is defiantly pretty hard early on I've found myself grinding a lot in areas just before a hard battle now that I know what's to come. The characters don't have much of a background but that's fine with me. I'd rather play the game then listen to some sappy story as to why your life sucks right now.

I love the voice acting all the different accents, the characters are all great, Balthier, Fran, Ashe, and the story with Bashe.

Also for once this game has hours upon hours of side quests that are actually worth doing and are challenging. All of the hunts and rare game side quests and getting the hidden espers is a fun hard challenge.

It's all a matter of opinion, but I guess this could be considered one of the best if not the best if people fully understand the game.

You can't just play a game and skip every line that's being said, not get any of the references, or misunderstand the characters and call it a great game. We'll never determine what the "Best" FF game is, but we all have our biases and preferences.

I'm really enjoying this FF, currently 150 hours in (training to defeat the Yiazmat), this has been the most fun FF to play and most rewarding in my opinion, the only let down for me was the lack of the trademark FF humour and atmosphere, the story was ok, it was suspiciously similar to Star Wars A New Hope.....10/10

Difficulty level and lots parts of the battle system were great but I'm disappointed in the game story-wise. Way too less cutscenes and not enough background info on some matters. And that with such great characters, square had a trump card in this game with characters like those but didnt play it out in this game.
