i too liked the "feel" of the game... it reminded me a lot of FF Tactics because it was in the same universe, so the nostalgic goosebumps i would receive probably pushed me past some errors with the game.

Vaan was annoying, Fran was hot but not too useful, penelo was whatever, but i really was drawn to SOME of the characters like Ashe and Basch, who had cool backstories and were strong characters. Balthier is now my favorite FF character so far.

FFXII was just missing a certain Umpph that other FF titles had. hopefully they learned their mistakes for 13 and versus :)

Yeah lets hope they learned, the problem is according to the reviews FFXII is a masterpiece, lol!

According to quite a few fans, too.

How many RPGs did you play? This kind of comment remind me of the Xbox fanboys saying lost odyssey is a masterpiece, obviously its prolly the first RPG they played. If FFXII is a masterpiece, then how can we qualify games like dragon quest 8, suikoden 5, FF VII or X??

 

If you ever try FFXI, released around 2 years prior XII, youll also prolly find lame that they use same engine and all the same names for everything. Filled the game with fetching subquest, because they didnt put enough work in it to put story instead. Dont get me wrong tho, its not bad, simply average, if you played through it all, theres no reason to say its a masterpiece if you compare it to other much better RPGs. If you had played other RPGs and still think its a masterpiece then I would say that you probably prefer action games over RPGs, and you would hate xenosaga lol.
