Final Fantasy XII

chocobodude3's Final Fantasy XII (PlayStation 2) review

What a dissapointment

I have never been more disappointed by game ever that Final Fantasy 12. i had such high hopes for it. Instead a got this mess of an rpg that bears the Final Fantasy name. My major issue with the game is that it is not friendly at all for newcomers to the series with complicated battle mechanics and a mess of a story . Now don't get me wrong I loved Final fantasy 10 which is one of my favorite PS2 games of all time. Now when you play a Final fantasy game you expect 2 things. 1: A good combat system. 2: A great story . You get none of that here. For starters the "main character" Vaan has no personality or any reason to be here in the first place. the license board shows my biggest gripe with the game, grinding. You have to grind for a while if you want good equipment because if you don't have a license for that piece of equipment you cant equip the item. God i hate this game.

When discussing FFXII, I occasionally see criticism for how it "didn't feel like a Final Fantasy game".This has always confused me. I must admit, I don't truly understand what is necessary to be a Final Fantasy game other than the title. Looking at the series as a whole, the only connections I can find between them are purely superficial ones, such as crystals, chocobos, airships, and a guy named Cid. FFXII has all of these, so I don't understand the conflict. That said, I can accept the possibi...
