my fave FF is FF8 since it was my first lol but all the rest are awsome. like everyone else i waited years for XII and when it came out i was dissapointed. yeah the graphics are great but the gameplay and battle system just isnt the same and didnt feel right like in the others. is this the direction that alll the FF's are going to take? i hope not. maybe the turnbased system was best afterall?
Yeah. The game was a big letdown. I dont know if story was bad or good because i didnt understand a damm thing. The english some chars used was so difficult to get. Remenber that scene when Ashe and CIA found that weird gods? But...i inderstood that Penelo and Vann are stupid chars. I want to be a sky pirate! Batle System was so boring....no...Gambits are boring. I intput some gambits in the begining and i slighty changed them in all game. The game was so easy...i never did a single thing to defeat bosses. They said that Judges would be an imprtant factor in history but you only see some of them in entire game and because they have that mask you dont know who they are..............i could write a big text here.
I hate it from the bottom of my heart. I usually hate a game more if it was one I was looking forward to. This game had potential, could have been great. All they had to do was fix the horrible story, characters and gameplay
Indeed i waited for it since 2004. And i was very dissapointed! Everything wasn't just Final Fantasy. I didn't had any FF feeling with this game. When it would be A FF tactics game. It would be great but it wasn't good for a FF.
i hope this isn't going to happen with FFXIII. Because i don't really like that sci-fi feeling. I hope FFXIV will be like FFX and i'm already looking forward to it O_o I'm so addicted... I look on 5 FF fan sites every day since FFXIII was announced, i watch the latest FFXIII trailer every day and the older trailers once in a week... I live only for FFXIII and think every day of it ... i'm to obsessed ...
As for it felt nothing like FF, it felt like FF. People are just resistant to change. Ben Mattes, the producer of the new Prince of Persia (which got good reviews) got criticized for its easy gameplay (you can't die).
Now, I agree with the ending of that post on Kotaku. Fans are wayyyyy to resistant to change. Sure you say you want it, but, you really don't. All I keep hearing when new XIII scans appear is "WOW, those look great, hopefully it won't be like XII, I want it to be like a normal FF!"
Gtfo over XII, it tried a new thing, something you have to do EVERY SO MANY SEQUELS. And some loved it and some hated it. So, chances are, they will meld the old and new.

EDIT: Thread moved to the proper forum.
I agree, Although the battle system was repetitive it was a decent change. Almost every games battle system gets repetitive after awhile. The only beef I had with the game is that the specials sucked (even though they look cool) and that place Giruvegan was a pain in the ass unless you cheated. The story was very well done, you can't really blame SE if you just can't comprehend it.
XII was outstanding in every way. The deepest Breath a fresh final fantasy air I'd had since VII. I guess the kiddies didn't like that it was very political in nature and alot less flashy.
I was blown away. The music,story, Voice acting, animation(aside from Vaans abs) was all top-notch

What are you trying to say lol XII wasn't a bad game it was good I guess I was just expecting more. It didn't feel like an FF to me
FFXII is my fave game in the series from a gameplay perspective (Gambits off for the party leader!)

I had a feeling that it was disappointing, the game seem so suckish it looks so boring and i didnt even play the game yet, just b/c i assume that it sucked. Such a shame!

I enjoyed it from the very beginning to the very end. I went through it with my brother as we usually do with such games, and I must say the experience was fantastic. I found it to be slightly short, but then again I failed at the secret bosses and never really went back to them.
Other than that I completely agree with Nocte. It was a new experience, some would inevitably dislike it. I on the other hand, enjoyed every aspect of it.
XII Was Such A Disappointment, For Me Personally. Usually I Keep All My Games Fresh But XII I Just Did Whatever With It To The Point It Got Under My Rug And Scratched To Death.

Haha, Final Fantasy VIII and X were my favorite Final Fantasy games. Both had characters I really cared about, and a storyline and environment which kept me hooked to the end. I never finished FF XII partly because I got bored of it, and partly because when I got back from college half a year later and played it, I totally forgot where to go, or what had happened so far in the story. Not that I really understood the story...
Like some people said, I am all for some change. It keep things fresh. But it's got to be interesting too, and I don't think FF XII did that. Not to mention, I felt that it was too much of a Star Wars ripoff, as FF XIII is shaping up to be as well, judging from the trailers.
For those who liked FF VII, VIII, and X, I think that FF Versus is going to be THE GAME that we've been waiting for, for a long long time. I can't wait for FF Versus to come out! I haven't felt this much excitement for a game since FF X seven years ago =)
Loved it. From my experience on the internet I've found the people who didn't like the battle system didn't even understand it.
The story on the other hand was a let down. Half the FF audience didn't understand it (I've heard a theory that the average American isn't intelligent enough for it, which I personally find credible...), but the REAL issue was the story after Bur-Omisace.
The story was brilliant (but different from a normal FF) until Bur-Omisace, then it and all character interactions disappeared. There were only a few cutscenes for the rest of the game.
Anyway, this probably isn't the best forum to ask about FF12. There are A LOT of FF12 haters on this forum. It's my favourite just because of the gameplay, and I've played every main FF except 3 and 11. My favourite series.
I Guess everyone has different taste. I hated XII it was fine in the beginning but in the middle something happend and it just became so boring,but I beat the game anyway
anyone else think XII was a letdown?
lol XII wasn't a bad game it was good I guess I was just expecting more. It didn't feel like an FF to me
