Final Fantasy XII in "my" opinion sucked! I don't know what the he11 they were thinking... I mean, ok, they didn't have any character development (at all), that I can live with. Nevertheless, they did not at all focus on the main character or make him important! They could have killed him off and the game would still be able to go on, no hindrance whatsoever! 'Every' time the group would be talking about what to do next, the so-called "main character" would be off playing with his stupid childhood friend. It would always show them playing or doing whatever in the background! He was just some KID they were dragging around... Now the person they had you play in the very beginning should have been the main characters... sigh. I was thinking about taking it back, but then I thought "collectors item".
Another thing is that you always seem to be strapped for cash. The weapons are expensive as he11! You really have to sell an arm and a leg just to make your players just "barely" strong enough to survive whatever terrain you are about to be entering. I remember traveling in some terrain (I think it was the snowy one, can't remember), but anyway, I was doing fine. I was regulating killing everything in sight; I thought I was such a badass. And as I continued, I found myself in a whole different landscape entirely (it looked like a swamp or somethin'). Anyway, here I am, "Huh... where the heck am I? This place looks weird and so out of place (considering where I came from). Oh well, I'm still badass/omnipotent, nothing can hurt me, plus I just bought me some new gear so I should be well prepared for any miscreants, should they come my way." Next thing you know I see this small monster and I mean SMALL, so I walked up to it thinking "I might as well get some experience points, even if it's just a little." I usually don't like training when there's not a save point close by, because you never know what can happen. Anyway, some monsters don't attack you unless you provoke them first. So I provoked. Now right before I entered this other terrain, I was taking every other beast out, and even when they would hit me they would be taking 50 or 100 at the most. However, this little shnit did some damage I mean 600 damage! I had previously set my party/comrades on attack. Let's just say (for the lack of a better euphemism) they were pushing up daisies, because all I remember was running and leaving them behind thinking to myself "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" (Only I wasn't saying shoot). I felt like that girl in the Blair Witch Project when she was running through the woods at night screaming, which was annoying as hell, but I digress, they were all dead. Plus there was the fact that I hadn't saved for like 2 hours or so. That brings up another thing. The stages were big for no damn reason (hence why I hadn't saved for 2 hours, being lost and all).
In addition, I liked the grid they had to make you stronger and whatnot, but I liked the sphere grid better from Final Fantasy X. Oh yea, I liked Final Fantasy X better too.:D
The music was good, so that is a plus.;)
