Final Fantasy XII - PS2

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Poor storytelling
The worst FF game since FFVIII

As I've stated above this is the worst FF game I've played since FF VIII. There are many different reasons. First there's the story that wasn't interesting at all, than there were the main characters like Vaan and Ashe who I didn't care whether they lived or died. Hell by the end of the game I wanted the bad guys to win. Then there's the game play which was terrible, I mean stick to what works. Finally there the game it's self, which was the easiest FF game I've ever played even easier than FF X. Not everything was bad about the game. There was the graphics which of course were amazing. Also the music was a nice change from other FF games. No don't get me wrong this still was a decent game, but when you come pare it to other FF games it's a failure.

This game is my Fantasy

I will say that this game has the best system/engine of all the Final Fantasy/Square games. The story being the best is debatable I guess. The content is so enormous, I don't know how they fit it onto one disc...all the other FF games were like 4 discs.

Awesome and Innovative

This game was a very fun. After the disappointment from FF X-2 (I did not play XI), I was not expecting to much, but this game exceeded my expectations. The use of a battle system similar to the of MMORPGs in a one player console RPG was fantastic. The Gambit AI system to control party members came of as one of the most innovative systems I've encountered. The world was giant, the monsters were creative, and the storyline was engaging. The skill grid was an great adaptation of FFX's sphere grid, allowing for great overlaps and amazing specialization. It was fun, exciting, and expansive, and I would suggest it to anyone.

Wow.

Final Fantasy 12 was really a great game. The controls are very convenient, the gameplay is much more addictive than FFIV, and the storyline goes into great depth. The boss fights are not only epic, but also extremely hard. It's practically impossible to beat a boss on the first try.
