The gameplay was only okay. Interesting, but I felt like I should have had more control earlier on. (FF13 was worse with it's gameplay pacing)
The setting was interesting, except for the ridiculous mash-up of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. The very first scene you've got laser-shooting planes flying over a battle with dudes with swords and armor. How stupid is that?
The characters were mostly uninteresting and forgettable, or just plain annoying.
The story was absolutely worthless, complete garbage. I can't count how many times I facepalmed playing that game and I didn't even finish it. It's completely devoid of surprise or intrigue because I saw every "twist" coming from miles away. It's so painfully generic that the only-decent gameplay couldn't quite get me through.
Yeah, I'm a hater, but I loved FF10 and I expected so much more. I was severely disappointed. You'd need something a heck of a lot better than 12 to revive JRPGs.

If you liked that linear, anime-filled garbage called FFX, I don't expect you to be able to comprehend just how great FFXII is. It's like a 5 year old saying that they think Teletubbies is better than Hamlet. It's an opinion that's worthless.

You bring up Shakespeare in comparison to FF12? If you knew anything of decent literature you would realize just how awful the story and narrative of FF12 are. 12 tried to be "mature" and "sophisticated" and it failed, hard. Read a few books if you don't believe me.
