Graphics are one thing I can honestly state that I was astounded by in FFXII. Some of the details I saw in faces were great especially when you consider this was on the PS2. When I first saw Gran Kiltias Anastasis in a close shot I could have sworn it was this gen for PS2.
God of War 2 had the settings but this had great character detail.
On the game as a whole for a game, it's was excellent, great gameplay, story was interesting. Problem for me was that it just didn't feel like Final Fantasy, only now as I'm playing Vagrant Story for the first time, does it feel like a 'sequal' to that, maybe as a game better suited as just another in the Ivalice world not as a main FF game.
The battle system was not something I'd associated with Final Fantasy (FFXI had too strong of an influence on it) and meant that I spent needless hours leveling up when in many previous FF games, I have never had to and 'leveled' up for fun. This pointless repetative task of running about was as far more annoying for me then some people claim the random battles were, but random battles are Final Fantasy.
Hmm, pie.
