Why are some of you acting like FFXII was disliked due to being different? The biggest criticism against the game is its story, and imo that is very understandable.
In addition to weak character development for the majority of the cast, it is largely devoid of cutscenes during the last fourth of the game! It was just one huge dungeon after the other, without anything happening in the story.
I enjoyed XII very much, but its fascinating world was let down by the execution of the story and low focus on the characters. I realize it may have turned out much better in that regard had the original director remained on-board, but it is what it is.
