@g-value: What you should do is actualy explain in more than 5 words why you hate FFXII. I have reasons to dislike VIII, and I'm always willing to explain to whoever is willing to listen. You only saying "FFXII is garbage" makes me think you never gave the game much of a chance.

 

To explain every problem i had with FF 12 would take way to long so i'm just going make a quick summary on how i feel about FF12.

It sucks major ass. The main character and his sidekick played no major role in the games storyline. All i got from Vaan is that he wanted revenge for his brother and that he wanted to fly. I ain't got nothing from Penelo except that she want to go where every Vaan went like a faithful sidekick sould. There were not enough interactions between the characters. You would travel to the other fucking side of the world just to be braced with one cutscene. The battle system was boring as hell. I though i was stupid that you had to get a licene in order to use a certain weapen. The Quickenings were cool. Vaan's third Quickening was epic and so were the other characters Quickening and those are the only ups of FF12's battle system. You had to grind like crazy to get enough money for items equipment.

It's things like this that convince me more and more that a lot of problems with playing Final Fantasy 12 (in terms of gameplay) come from trying to play it like every other Final Fantasy, when it's not meant to be played like that.

It would be like hating Ogre Battle for not playing like Final Fantasy Tactics.

 

Although that should have easily been expected when a franchise's fanbase was accustomed to the series being a certain way for over 20 years you know.

This is why Atlus is currently > Square

They give their game's fanbase what they want, not just try to appeal to someone else and leave us behind.
