| Galvanizer said: It was open world, had seamless battles, had a mature story, and also had fantastic voice acting. If it was first released this gen, it wold have saved JRPGs. It probably would have even sold over 10 million copies worldwide and surpassed FFVII sales. It's so unfortunate. It's still my fave FF, though. I have hope for a FFXII HD Remaster for the PS4 and PS Vita. Hopefully, the game will then get the praise it deserves. |
Agree with all the above, but the games 2 main flaws:
1. Mundane story, too concerned with forgetable+hard to follow politics as opposed to characters.
2. Battle system was unbalanced and did not require much strategy/player input during battle. The game needed something like the paragim system for overall group tactics swapping and keeping you active during battles. Also LP should have been more of a scarcity.
But yes, it should have been a fall 2007 ps3 title. And for those who say that the ps3's userbase was too small, metal gear solid 4 (ps3-13m userbase) sold more then MSG3 (ps2-120m userbase). Highly active userbase+unsaturated market would have made FFXII one of the best selling ps3 games of all time.
