I suspect that I would really like FFXII if I could stand to play it long enough to get to the point where I could make my own Gambits. I've watched my wife play, and the mechanic looks absolutely fascinating. But the game just doesn't hold my interest beyond the first 20-30 minutes. I've watched the whole thing played, and I can recognize its greatness, but it simply isn't for me: the beginning ruins that.

FFX-2 is a surprisingly good game if you can look past all the fanservice. Again, there are some fascinating concepts there. But the fanservice is so pervasive and so damaging that I can't blame people for not being able to get past it to find the great game underneath. I do get annoyed at people who have never played the game insisting that it's horrible. It's deeply flawed, but a great game if you actually play the thing.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
