It was also incredibly slow paced, grindy and boring.

Ops, we dont care about that.

Its not the worse i've played though.

LOL! It was not slow paced at all. If you think FFXII is slow paced then so are games like the Assassin's Creed series and Elder Scrolls series. Heck, Skyrim is very slow paced and yet it gets barely any complaints for it. Also, seeing as FFXII had sealess battles, I don't see how grinding is even an issue. Also, it being boring is highly subjective. Somebody could find a political debate boring, while another could be keenly interested.

boring battlesystem
mediocre story
and horrible voice acting from some of the main chars, especially Vann

so for me it's just below FFXIII/-2 as the worst FF games ever

The battle system wasn't boring for me. It was very enjoyable due to how much you coulf customize it. Also, the story and voice acting of FFXII are some of the best to appear in a video game.

FF12 definitely had the potential for excellence, but I was blown by being rushed and Matsuno losing control of the project.

I wouldn't say it is as bad as games like FF9 and FF13 though, those games had similar problems, except worse.

FFXII is excellent. Even with Matsuno leaving during development, the finished game is still a masterpiece.

I actually did like XII but after the awesomeness that was X it felt like a step in the wrong direction! Compared to the abomination that was XIII the game is pure gold!!! I would love to see a HD remaster of the game, would buy it day one!!

I actually disliked FFX. It was far too linear and event scene focused. FFXII was the step in the right direction hy focusing more on gameplay and exploration. FFXIII copied the FFX approach and look where that landed it.

I really liked the game, but I don't think the gen it released in would have changed peoples minds on the weak story even if the open world elements would have been received better.

But yeah, it was still better than XIII (for me)

I actually think that it releasing this gen would have made people appreciate the story more. It's very mature, realistic, and complex. It's not anime garbage like other FF games.
