The Fury on 02 December 2009
As long as the side quests are not essentially a chore like they were in FFXII and the weapons you get actually make it worth while.
First play through of FF12 was about 80 hours as I didn't know what I was doing (leveling up all characters instead of just 3 was a big mistake) and did a few side quests to get stuff but it's replay value that really counts in FF games and FFXII didn't have much of that compared to other FFs, even FFX-2
Hmm, pie.
