FFXII was fantastic, imo, I put 120 hours into it, and collected all the ultimate weapons/summons...

 

Hmm... I see u as a very intelligent poster Zen, but a serious question:

do you disagree with everyone just for the sake of it?

 

No sir, but I see how it might seem that way sometimes.

There are certain, few games, that are never really "understood" by a mass audience. FFVIII and FFXII are two of them. If you like either one of them, you should realize that the other has similar characteristics as far as the "game flow" is concerned.(for instance, in FFVIII, the best technique will always rely on playing till endgame without leveling up at all, usually at critical health, and relying entirely on limit breaks for every battle).

When we start these games, we're so confused and overwhelmed, that we hate them(because we don't understand them, if we realize it or not). It pisses us off. It's not a fun experience, being confused and/or uninformed. A second playthrough, however, this time armed with knoweldge, is what can help us experience these rare gems for the masterpieces that we really always knew they must be.

Nobody really hated FFXII. It just pissed them off. It became something totally different than they expected, and they never understood it, nor will they, because they no longer care.

The games where quality is not readily apparent, are often times the best ones and usually the deepest.
