Yes I know some reviews criticized it and that many people outside of reviewers are very vocal about it, but for some of the things FFXIII gets heavily criticized for to the point that it deflates it's score so much was even more present in FFXII.

Weak characters.
Battles play themselves.
Weak storyline.

The only big difference here is linearity for the first couple dozen hours.


Reviewers didn't attack FFXII nearly as much for these flaws like they are doing right now with FFXIII. No biggy though since I still love this game and I just reached Pulse and this area is so wide open and gigantic.

How long did it take you to reach Pulse? I have heard that it takes some where between 15 to 20 hours+ to reach Pulse. But that all depends on how good you are at RPGs and skipping those FMV cut scenes would save time.

Well I take my time in everything that I play and this game was no exception.

I was clocked in at around 30 hours before I hit Pulse. This area though can get you lost for easily another 30.
