For me FF XII was a big letdown.

No. It wasn't because of the battle mechanics or general overworld experience. It was the story around which the game unraveled.
It was so uninspiring that if it wasn't for all the extra goodies in the game like the sidequests, locations etc. then i wouldn't have bothered raking in some 120 odd hours of gameplay

I don't mean to be rude, sarcastic, mean, or anything of the sort, but this REALLY doesn't compute. Do you play most other Final Fantasies for longer than that?

FFXII is pretty easily the most massive Final Fantasy, especially considering how much less grinding it takes to finish out than is necessary for equivalent tasks in the other games (killing Yiazmat is nothing like maxing your Materia)
