FFXII was a complete bomb to the series. I loved FF 1 through 10, each had a unique story, unique characters that you learn to love, and a fun combat system.
FFXII had a terrible story, terrible character developement (actually, there was none at all,) and a terrible battle system.
The story was completley laughable- because of how disapointed me and my friends were, we rewrote the script of FFXII as a joke and it still turned out 100 times better than the games actual script. We actually gave the characters personalities.
The combat system was so terrible thanks to gambits, or whatever they were called, that me and 4 of my friends beat the game by only using the joystick. Thanks to gambits, you don't actual have to press buttons to battle- it does it for you. I remember 3 or 4 times watching the last battle of the game as the controller lay on the floor, no one touching it, and us winning.
It was an OK game, 7/10, tops. Disapointment to the series. I hope FFXIII is better, I really hope so.
I don't blame SE too much though, since the big makers of FF left in the early stages of FFXII's production (which is why the first 3 hours of the game were actually really cool.)
