Final Fantasy 12 is a true landmark, one of the greatest works of art ever produced by the videogame culture. It has marvelous voice-acting and pacing, dynamic game-play, a soaring score, and has a 21st century storyline which asks profound and urgent questions about freedom, individual responsibility, wars and the lies politicians use to legitimate war. It also has some of the most interesting female characters in what used to be a horribly sexist genre.

I'm not sure how Square Enix will top something as magnificent as FF12. I just hope they come close to achieving its level of quality.

I don't think one in ten people who play FFXII actually understand what it's all about and why it's so great. This guy is one of the few.

FFXII may have had those things but it failed miserably in one key catagory:keeping the players interest.

For all of those things it had it just didn't have enough mystery or tense to make me want to stick with the story, the characters were boring and some even had no reason to really be there, the gambit system was cool but didn't allow for a lot of play, and the license system was terrible.

I won't flame you for liking the game, to each his own, but the game did nothing to hold a players interest except for the people that just got really into the story for whatever reason, loved the fan service, or kept telling themselves it must get good eventually.


Still, you have to give SlorgNet points for using "legitimate" as a verb.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
