On a side note: this topic is funny, Kitase has just been joking and Nomura didnt even say anything, but people already have decided where should these guys go, what games they should make etc. Geez I love the internetz :D

 

Frankly I just foam at the mouth every time anyone goes "lol FF12 sux needs more anime"

I don't talk to many other FF fans for this reason

 

I disliked FF12 for character development, having known what the original plan was. The story could have been explored more. The battle system was alright, but the gambit ruined the battle system. Again I could understand why you wouldn't want to talk to FF fans. Sometimes they can be annoying. (Yes I called myself annoying, HAR HAR)

 

Character development was why I loved FFXII's narrative so much. Finally, a Japanese RPG that doesn't rely on constant flashbacks to flesh out a character! Thank you, oh merciful gods, for delivering this unto me, your servant in perpetuity.

Gabranth was also the best-written character ever, which helped.

As to the battle system: I don't see how you can dislike the Gambit system. It was just aces, and made everything so much faster and more energetic in big battles.

@Xen: Yeah, actually, I did like Vaan. He actually developed and grew up as the story went on, which was pretty nice, and he wasn't some big whiny tit like Tidus.

I didn't play the same game as you did then. Vaan says like 4-5 lines of text in the whole second half of the game. He didn't grow up as the story progressed because the story never progressed and that's why this game sucked. The rest: graphics, combat system, etc. were ok.
