These guys were so badass. I know I'm probably one of the only people who like Final Fantasy XII, but they were my favorite villains out of all of the game.

You are not alone. Fighting the Judges are some of my fondest moments in FFXII. FFXII has a special place in my heart mostly due to these guys and the battle system.

I personally think FFXII has the most productive battle system in the series. The Gambit System is tightly constructed, that other games still can't copy them right. I can't help but see Dragon Age's system as a poor man's version of Gambits. They worked so well. And XII is still the only FF where I found every spell useful throughout the game. I almost never use spells like Reflect, Protect, and Shell in most FF games, but in FFXII they are essential to survival in some areas. And many debuff abilities like immobilize are crucial. I found the battles so much fun. And god knows some of those Elite Hunts are out of this world hard, with lifebar for DAYS!

I loved the Gambit gameplay. It was so seamless, and allowed so much customization. A lot of people moaned about it not being turn-based, but honestly it remains to this day my favorite combat style in the Final Fantasy Universe simply because it required you to think ahead, not just wing it as you go along like most turn-based games.
