Opinions of XII. - Page 2

Yggdrasill · 02-22-2007, 07:32 PM

I've decided to go with FFXII, I've read the walkthrough I have for Okami (Came with a magazine I bought) and it looks too short, I really don't want a game I can beat before the weekend is over. =P
Anyway, by this time tomorrow I'll be playing FFXII, I'll post on here as to what I think it's like tomorrow.

If you do everything, it's not short.

Still, FFXII is longer. XD

Final Fantasy 12 is the best thye have done in the past couple of years i think, 9 was soso, 10 blew, 10-2 blew even more, 11, well itso nline, doesnt count in my book.

12's graphics are awesome, and the fighting is new and fairly fun. overall i think its a winner, not so long but it was fun.

It's probably the weakest FF game since FFVIII. Story is nothing great, the characters show little in the way of development and the battle system allows you to kill most of the story bosses purely with massive attack chains. Not cool, in my book.

man......I've just seen it today, i like the battle system development, and the soundtracks weren't bad! is there anythin you don't hate?

ok...thats a start, now how about the game?

ThroneofDravaris · 02-23-2007, 11:15 AM

Err, the dialog and graphics were alright I guess. That's about it.

Yggdrasill · 02-23-2007, 03:42 PM

I got both of them anyway, (Okami and FFXII), I got more than I expected when I traded in Zelda: Twilight princess.
So far FFXII is alright, the battle-system isn't what I expected, they missed out the biggest aspect of a real-time battle system. I'm hoping to play Okami later.

i got final fantasy XII yesterday and i strongly say you should buy it. All my friends have been saying it is great and i think with the new battle system it will be one of the best final fantasy's ever made.

I'm enjoying this game as I never enjoyed a game before! Really surpasses my expectations.

A bit FFXI-like

Kat · 02-28-2007, 07:41 PM

FFXII sentiments, huh?

I love political struggle (see: FFT), but I think the overal storytelling perspective is what puts me off. Rather than a character-oriented view like past games, FFXII adopts a world-perspective which focuses more on the story than the characters (and to what great effect, I can't say). That only furthers the idea of watching a movie/cinematics instead of using the characters as a 'vessel' to live through. Heck, I could care less if Ashe won the throne or a huge wild saurian bit her head off -- the story, while having enough steam to continue without being overtly boring, ends up being a shallow water that runs...shallow. That's how I feel anyway; there ain't enough to show the characters' in a frame I care about. I admire the game's great historical-type script, but half of it's nonsense if it isn't focusing intently on the characters themselves.

It took me 200+ hours to realize I don't like the game, but I guess one could rack that up to its "charm."

couldn't have said it better mehself!

I've gotten quite far into it and it still isn't anything special, FFIX still remains to be beaten in my opinion, the battle-system is what really ruined this game.
I really hope Square decide to put the ATB back in when it comes to FFXIII.
