Opinions of XII.

Re: Opinions of this game?

ok...thats a start, now how about the game?
 
Re: Opinions of this game?

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.
 
Re: Opinions of this game?

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.
 
Re: Opinions of this game?

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

A bit FFXI-like
 
Re: Opinions of this game?

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."

Re: Opinions of this game?

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.

Re: Opinions of this game?

I brought the game a day after its release date and still haven't played it yet. I'm looking forward to getting around to playing it.

As for what I have seen so far I'm well pleased that they decided to bring back some of the music from the earlier final fantasies to this game.
 
Re: Opinions of this game?

I do hate the fact that they got rid of turn base fighting. That drives me right up the wall!
 
Re: Opinions of this game?

Turn based fighting rules. But I will get used to fighting battles in this game. I got used to it on the gamecube crystal chronicles.
 
Re: Opinions of this game?

Ah that is one game I did not like that was FF and that was Crystal Chronicles...
 
Re: Opinions of this game?
