Kingdom Hearts II: Great game. This was such an improvement over KH1. The camera & controls weren't annoying, the gummi ship sections were fun to play, gameplay was solid and the music and visuals were nice. The only thing I didn't like was the story; I have no clue what the hell is going on in the KH story. The story became a convoluted mess after the first Kingdom Hearts. Also, the Organization XIII were a bunch of nobodies :P - no character development, etc. All-in-all, it's my second favorite action-RPG on the PS2.
Final Fantasy XII: I thought this was an excellent game - my #4 FF game. I loved the gameplay and how big the world is. I easily spent over 100 hours on my first playthrough; there were so many things to do. The story bored me a couple of times though, and some of the characters were lame or had weak character development (Vaan, Penelo and Basch).
