To be fair I haven't given FF12 a proper try. It released as I was making the switch from PS2 to Xbox. I was switching because my PS2 broke (again), so while a new FF game usually would've been a day 1 purchase for me, not having a working console to play it on changed that. The MMO style combat does kind of put me off although I did buy it in a Steam sale a little while back, so it's on my to play list at some point. |
I think you already got a similar answer, but here's my two cents as well: I'm not a fan of combat in MMORPGs (it just feels boring, at least for the first x hours, and I've never had the patience to get through all the boring combat), but I have no issue at all with FFXII's combat. I mean, there are times where it can feel a bit micromanagement-heavy, depending on your play style (apparently my original playthough on PS2 was bad in that regard, but I had no issue with micromanagement on PS4), but that's about it. It's very satisfying to see how your planned combat style plays out, you have to switch it up at times anyway, and overall, I think the level of manual involvement is quite good too. Your mileage might vary, but there's a real chance it'll feel different compared to MMORPGs even for your taste.
