FF12 is one of my favourite games of all time. How 'FF' it is on the other hand is another matter. But then when didn't the Ivalice team make a good game? |
Italic; that's actually a good take. For me, I loved that they kept the somewhat quirky nature of FF settings, with its monsters, characters and effects. But they also installed more mature elements with the main characters and story. They also managed to marry more modern gameplay mechanics with classical FF tactical focus. I found it to be an excellent balance. The licence system and gambit system were standouts for me, the former allowed for more custom loadouts and building compared to most FF titles and the latter allowed for fine-tuning of control of party members. The exploration and team-swapping mechanics were also ace. Story and the music were really good as well, in my opinion. Damn, it was near perfect for me, especially for its time.
