You're sorta right I suppose but I felt that every character is pointed to one particular class anyway (Fran as the Black Mage for example).

Anyway I never had too much of a problem with the skills/stats part of it, my main problem was firstly getting licenses for weapons/armour as well as buying for spells which I found personally annoying.

The Sphere System was flawed in some ways in terms of how linear it was and also levelling up and XII was an improvement in some ways but when looking at both games overall then X is still the better of the two.

I'm no big fan of either grid, but everything in X beats XII, except the voiceacting and character design I found nothing very enjoyable with XII. It's the only FF game I never played after I completed it.

X is much better.

the excaggarated grinding, poor story and repetition of XII ruined it for me. At one point i felt like doing office work over XII.

I like XII as much as I do X, I think, although it's of course quite different to other installments, due to the lack of random battles. I still think it's fun though, and I think some people don't like it just because they didn't allow themselves to become used to the game.

edit: Just realized I already posted in this thread. :/

XII beats X in every department.Well not in every but still nothing in X is better than XII.

Story is equally good in both. In X story is good but some of the characters are too annoying and XII has great cast of characters but story is bit lacking.

I had more fun in XII and with its large dungeons and with entertaining sidequests while X sidequests are mostly boring and dungeons are too short. And monster-types are too same. Nothing but lizards, wasps and flans. XII doesn´t so great monster difference either but still much more variety in monsters than X.

Oh well maybe in musics FFX beats XII. There are not many good tunes in XII. X on the otherhand had many good songs.

In battlesystems licence board beats sphere grid. I know it is stupid that you can´t wear a hat if you don´t enough points but still it was nicer to have much more directions to go, where as sphere grid had too many shitty nodes in a row.

I think the whole point of having to get liscenses was a lot like laws in FFTA.

Why was this thread made, everyone nows 10 was heaps better than 12 but 12s still a good game.

Because, believe it or not, people actually might have different opinions! And they do. So that's why this thread was made.

Learn to differentiate between voice actors and characters, because the bland stupid pathetic useless characters of FFXII are nowhere near as good as the characters of X.
The story for XII was not as entertaining or exciting as that of X, the story just wasn't as good. And please don't say 'but XII is more mature' because it isn't, having a story which is slightly political isn't mature.

If you took it off beginner and set it on advanced, you'd realise that it is a lot better.
I didn't really like the license board. It was too big, most of the stuff you don't need. I'd have prefered more augmentations and less of the weapons that no one uses. Did anyone even use those handbomb things?

Don't get me wrong, I like FFXII, but it is not as good as FFX.
