Ah, but I have a leg up my friend. See, I was a FFXII hater once. I shared the experience of every one of you. I played the game for 20-40 hours, hated it, and flamed it everytime the subject came up.
Then, a wiser man than I, told me that I should give it a second chance, and that I simply wasn't approaching the game with an open mind. I had expectations about the game that it had never even attempted to rotate towards, and I was judging it by a very distinctive and inappropriate scale.
So, upon reflection, I played the game again, and found that indeed there was a lot that I had missed, which was excellent, and I found an experience deeper than I had ever expected in the first place.
I don't think you don't get it. I know you don't. I have been directly in your shoes and I have walked that road to its end my friend, and found I was wrong.
You already know this. You might have tried to justify it in your mind, and claim that, "no, the game has nothing for me" when in reality you just feel more comfortable relying on your old biases and opinions, instead of taking the word of someone who might be wiser than you on this one particular subject.
You always knew there was fun to be had. You just didn't want to work to get it. The game wasn't what you expected, and too much time has passed for you to return to it.
You should, you know. FFVII is waiting to be rediscovered for you. You just have to reach for it.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
