| fatslob-:O said: You give FFXII too much credit ... I wouldn't even say the story is the main issue. It was very far away from been a FF game, more so than XIII! You say XIII has a forgettable story yet XII is practically a crappy history class in it's own fictional world. You could make an argument for ANY FF game that has unlikeable characters. XII was arguable more automatic than XIII when it came to combat. Sure XIII over did it with the linear map design but since when did FF games have good side content ? If anything the RPG elements are stressed even more than past FF games. RPGs are not about customization or the leveling system ... Mediocre game ? Damn, I guess all other FF games aside from VII, VIII, and X suck ... Bandwagon much ? |
XII had a great story, but it overshadowed and marginalized all of the characters. It felt like they were just cogs in the machine, and that really diminished character development. As a fan of FF, it was jarring to see such a minimal focus on the characters.
