Where does Final Fantasy XII rank among the previous games in the series? (Spoilers)
I for one believe that FFXII is a very good game, but I didn't feel like it was great like some Final Fantasies of the past. I feel like this is probably my 5th favorite Final Fantasy game, behind 6,7,8, and 10. It's a good game, but when I beat it I didn't feel the satisfaction or need to play it again and explore everything. After beating X the first time without the strategy guide, I looked at one and played again, as there was a lot of fun stuff to do still. That was not the case at all with this game, as I just kind of accepted beating the game and moved on. The strength of this game was probably the overall story, characters, and how well the new battle system worked. The weaknesses I would say is the lack of stuff worthwhile doing, as a lot of the bonus stuff just seems tedious to me, and not very fun. I also thought the quickenings were too long and too influential on the battle, as until the later part of the game, I relied on them too heavily to win most boss fights. I also thought they kind of made it kind of less important to use an esper, and therefore I did not summon very often due to quickenings usually being way more useful than summoning, (which should be something the game centers around more). The ending kind of sucked too, I was left feeling like it was one of the crappiest endings in the Final Fantasy series. The game just left me a little empty, and I was just wondering how others rank this in terms of the overall Final Fantasy series.
low expectations make a good game.
well im glad im reading this because when DC came out i thought it was going to be amazing! it wasn’t but i think its a good game probably more so because i read on here what people thought about it, some people slaged it off so my expectations weren’t high i think that’s the best way to play a game ignore all the hype.
