FF12 was a dissapointment, this probably will be too. I'm certainly not putting any money into a Ps3 for the two installments that will be on that. I might buy the one for the Wii, but then again, probably not. P.S. Graphics have never made a FF game good or bad, they're just an added plus if that.

this is why FF12 has sold 5m+ units. This is why FF12 looks just as good as any next gen game

Yes, FFXXII was looking good. And still, it was a dissapointment.

To me, the qualities of a J-RPG are : story, characters, evolution system and battle system.

Story was average, not really involving.

Characters were just lame and empty. Nothing interesting about them. All the moments that were supposed to create some emotion (Batlhier & his father, Fran & her sisters, Basch and his brother...) failed.

The licence system plainly sucks. No logical constraints (masterising Fire4 w/o Fire1, 2 or 3 ? no problem !) but many stupid constraints (going from Dagger 3 to 4 ? Learn Spears and 2 other unrelated wepons skill first). Bunch of useless skills. By the end of the game, all characters are alike. Sucks.

Fighting system : copy from KOTOR, which means quite good, and Gambit was a great idea. However, the randomness of special attacks and useless invocation were a bad move.

A dissapointment.

I really hope they'll correct that with FFXIII but I have a doubt.
