Thanks for that description, I think I will have to pass.  I HATE the new final fantasy's, primarily because of the battle system.  

FFXII is nothing like FFXIII or XV though, I can't stand either of those but I loved FFXII. It still offers complete control of the entire party in combat, and then you use gambits for automated things such as healing when a party member reaches a certain percentage of hit points, or going to attack the enemy with the least health. Overall, it's a lot less frustrating and offers more choices, you can play it almost fully "turn-based" if you want, and there's none of the terrible camera of FFXV or complete automation of FFXIII, and to top it off, the entire game, its cast, setting and even story is vastly better than FFXIII and XV.

I gave up on both FFXIII and XV after less than 30 hours gameplay, but I've finished FFXII three times, twice on PS2 and once with an emulator. It truly is a fantastic game, and I don't even like squad-like RPG's with real-time combat.
