All is Well, Until Someone Crashes the Party

by Thanatos13H Aug 20, 2009, 2:16 AM PDT

So here I was enjoying my game. Until someone ruined it for me! It has no depth they said, the fighting is terrible they said, until it drove me nuts! Apparently, you can't get a certain item unless you don't open the right chest. HOW IN THE WORLD ARE YOU NOT SUPPOSE TO OPEN CHEST!! (Unless you want to buy the strategy guide, but that ruins it for me.) Another thing that bugged me was that someone put all their characters on gambits and had them act out everything without that someone having to actually do anything except move his people.

I'd say enjoy the game, just don't let your buddies ruin it for you!

Fantasy of happiness

by Madwedger8teen Aug 18, 2009, 5:50 AM PDT

One of the most touching games with the realistis story line with the Greatest PS2 graphics and battle features, but I don't the story is as good as Final Fantasy X

Far Above

by Beastumable Aug 4, 2009, 9:35 PM PDT

This game is sensational, and by far, one of the best Final Fantasy games. The real time battles are an amazing addition to this game. The graphics are just beautiful. The voice acting is top notch, though the characters lack depth. It has a different feeling from the other FF games, but I love it. One of the most challenging games that I have played. Tremendous strategy goes into boss battles, since the slightest mistake will undoubtedly get you killed. This is one of the longest games on the PS2. It took me 168 hours to fully complete and explore every area. It's quite a rewarding game. You really can never get tired of it. It's a pity that they're going back to the old battle system in FF13.

This game ranks with Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid and God of War. This is just one of those games that sticks with you. You become nostalgic each and every time you think of the gameplay + music + battles + feeling of this game. I miss it so much.

Um Épico com o melhor do Rpg

by uryzen Jul 30, 2009, 3:04 PM PDT

Final fantasy é assim a cada jogo que lança consegue o improvavel desde o 6 só vem batendo recordes, e esse não é diferente é um épico com uma história bem complexa e mas fria para os outros final fantasys e com uma gama de variedades que só final fantasy consegue fazer, esse pode comprar de olhos fechados pois vale cada centavo investido nele.

A Breath Of Fresh RPG Air

by xaphanea Jan 5, 2009, 7:22 AM PST

Final Fantasy XII was much needed for me, as I never bothered with FFXI and FFX-2 was fun but not very rich. I'm not a fan of the battle system, as I prefer the classic type, but overall I really enjoyed this game and all it had to offer.

First and foremost, the world is beautiful and vast. Exploring it was a treat, as it fully made use of the PS2's technology. The characters are wonderful, detailed, and easy to fall in love with (in typical Final Fantasy style). The voice acting is fantastic as well. FFX started a new era of it, but FFXII perfected it.

The battle system I have a problem with, but many people like it. It is still turn based, but it's more of a melee type system, and you can set your characters to automatically use commands. This is called the gambit system, and it's pretty handy. There are no more random battles, you have to run into your enemies to battle them. It's new, it's innovative, and it is fun, but as I said before, I would prefer FFX's battle system better. Hopefully with FFXIII they figure out something better.

I do recommend this game for any Final Fantasy and RPG fan, though none of you would need my opinion as this game's reputation proceeds it. Happy RPGing!

Diamond in the Rock

by Conspiracynut Dec 28, 2008, 2:56 PM PST

This is by far the most visually appealing game of the PS2/GC/Xbox generation. And don't think that takes away from the gameplay, either. Gambits, for instance, allow you to program the behavior of your allies. As long as you have them on, you can move freely and your party will attack as you want them to see fit. Those of you who have a distaste for turn-based combat as I do, you need not shy away from the Final Fantasy name anymore. Amoungst the vast wildlife, some creatues require that you sign a contract with those they've wronged before you set out to slay them.

As a politically active Japanese game, FF12 is prominately anti-war. People who have a problem with this, Shakespearian dialect, or memories of Star Wars will miss out. Your Han Solo is a classy sky pirate and your Chewbaka is a bunny wearing a metal thong.

The best yet!

by Katoh21 Nov 24, 2008, 7:20 AM PST

The best Final Fantasy I've played thus far, great gameplay, great story, a huge uphill to get started though (it makes me look forward to Final Fantasy XIII).

Plus the world of Ivalice in this game being shared with several other Square-Enix titles makes this even more interesting if you've played any of the other games set in the world of Ivalice (Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy Tactics, etc).
