Yeah I loved 12, didn't have to do the boring stuff like casting a spell to get rid of poison, just make the computer do it for you and stuff like that. And no more random battles, it is so hard to go back and play rpgs with random battles after playing 12. It also had a political story instead of the love story that has saturated FF for the last decade. Though it got kind of lost since there was so many side quests that you pretty much had to do to keep some bosses from being overly difficult. If SE can fix that then 13 should be amazing.

The FFX is making FFXIII so have plenty of faith that the game will amaze us when it comes out. FFXII was great but the main plot could have been better as well as the character development.

 

 

I think they didn't want to make the plot to complex because it was hard to follow the plot anyways. I remember seeing one reviewer of the game saying something like, "Ok, so the story is, ooh, this guy wants me to go kill something for him. What was I talking about again? Oh yeah, the story, so you are fighting against, oh this person needs help." etc. I have faith in the original FF team, and they no doubt will amaze me. Just make the story a little bit easier to follow and not make me do the side quests because on your 5th play through they get the feeling of, why do I have to do this again? Oh yeah, because the boss around the bend will rape me because I am not high enough level.

FFXII's main plot was originally suppose to be a lot darker and Basch as suppose to be the main character.  However, the original director, Matsuno, apparently fell ill and had to leave development.  They added Vaan and Penelo to make the game appeal more to the Japanese gamers.  Kawazu even stated that they couldn't make the story better.  I am not totally sure but I think that's what happened.
