I disagree. 12 sucked, 10-2 actually has good gameplay. Story on 10-2 was terrible, but the gameplay more than made up for it.
As much as I like the story to 12, after four attempts at playing through it, the furthest I've got was 25 hours in after really forcing myself the game is just a garbage extremely repetitive grindfest where against just about every normal enemy your strategy is going to be attack, and against all bosses or marks, you'll use blind, attack, and heal.
Need to make money? You'll be constantly grinding for high priced loot to sell. High priced loot that really doesn't sell for much at all, atleast not much in comparison to how expensive the items are. Magic in the game is absolutely useless, with magic spells the enemy is weak against taking marginably more damage than your physical attacks. With how short a ways MP goes, taking slightly more than your physical attack is worthless when it takes longer to cast a spell.
I guess they really were going for the MMO aspect. Make the games gameplay as boring as possible, then after you get out of battle and heal up, wait around for your MP to heal back up when it's low. I like difficult RPGs, but there's a fine line between difficult and overly grindy or boring.
