i think maybe it's the kind of story that doesn't appeal to everyone, then. but i certainly prefer this kind than what we've had in 8, 9 (not so much) and 10.

Well, in MY opinion, this is the worst FF ever for:
No random battles
Battle system SUCKS
Takes FOREVER to get someone in your party
When they ARE in your party it is tedious to control them
I hate the Gambits because I like to feel like I'm putting at least a small amount of effort in the game
I don't like Penelo or Vaan or any of the characters (excluding Montblanc <3)
Battle system is slow, taking much too long to kill an enemy
Magic is horrible
The Tutorial was the worst Tutorial I have ever played through in my life
License Grid is god-awful.
Inability to dual wield
Story moves far too slow, and is generic in the sense that the generic way a small town kid will tackle an empire and of course win.
And even with the ridiculous story, it moves far too slowly!
Vaan is UGLY!!
wow, you sure are negative about the game. The hatred you got towards it is so passionate-it scares me!
It isn't even as bad as your saying, i think most of the stuff in the game like the battle system-makes it great and that's why i love to play it. The characters could maybe have a bit more emotional in terms of interacting with each other more, than just fighting and going for a goal. That's what i loved about FFX.
It was like one huge family of guardians and a summoner, and they all respected their individuals talents and every single one of them expressed their personality and you knew their backgrounds. Even though Tidus can be annoying, he's a good kid!
So I can only agree with you on the fact that the characters could of liked each other more, and not that they sucked because they didn't. Especially not Basch cause he's like Auron. Everything else you said i utterly disagree with and is over-exaggerated about how bad it is...
EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.
I used to be like KHK right after I started playing XII. At least with me, it was part because of me expecting so much due to the hype, part me mad about "wasted potential" - the fact that great graphics are "wasted" on a "lame" story and part of me missing FFX.
Then FFXII grew on me, but only when I put away my unrealistic expectations, my love for other games and my demand for a game "perfect for Renmiri"...
Also, being called "immature", "not a serious gamer" and "lover of Cinderella fairy tales" doesn't help people like the game if they already have their own reservations about it
Me and my kids have dragon eggs:
If your so negative about it, why post in the forum then? Jeez.

Well your feelings are wrong. But you were correct with the "highness" bit.
okay...gloves are off!
Final Fantasy XII is possibly the best to date
reasons:
awesome storyline...possibly the most original (i'm going to save the world! oh look - crystals!...yeah gets a little dull.)
great characters
new original music
awesome new summons, and great battle system
and for you who think that the characters had no significant change heres to you
say you were vaan. your parents and your brother were killed by the empire. and your ulitmate dream was to become a sky pirate.
i highly doubt you would ever change your ultimate dream, or if your family was killed, just to forgive and forget. vaan ultimate driving motive - revenge. and thats it. not every single person in the world has to have some revalation, and most people don't. if your already happy with yourself, whats the point of change. also - if you are starting your adventure wanting to be a pirate, or you wnat to destroy the empire...and it changed by the end of the game, the original passions of vaan would seem pointless, and ruinthe story. also, vaan's passion for destroying the empire, fuels ashe's rage to do the same
and penelo is there because she likes vaan...no duh bitches...lol
ffxii is an awesome game
if you don't like change
shove it
I think...I want to be forgiven...
I never realized people enjoyed walking about and suddenly being attacked by a number of enemies. Not only that, but the great repetitive nature of seeing the same pan and fade effect give way to the same group(s) of enemies to fight again and again. And they just come out of no where - it's truly a wondrous thing.
Does FFXII eliminate the redundant, monotanous nature of a constant stream of enemies attacking you for no other reason than because you are there? No, but I do think it's a lovely break from the usual.
A matter of perspective of opinion, but your's doesn't truly hold any value if you do not go further than simply stating that "it SUCKS".
Umm... An hour or so? If you haven't the patience of an hour, than why are you playing an RPG?
Hence gambits
Than turn them off; however, if you do, do not then complain about how it is tedious to control your characters - that's what gambits are for.
Why? Opinion means little without reasons.
Then smurfing level up, jack the speed up in the configuration menu, or get better.
You are obviously using it wrong then.
Who needs a tutorial for a FF game?
Why?
List how many RPGs, that have been successful, that allow you to duel wield, and why it was included
Repetition does not make a point.
Subjective
...
wow KHK-You really need to get some facts before you start slagging off a good game!
EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.
1. omfg, lets be retarded SE, and stick with the same old battle system because we don't want anything new, we want to be the same old boring fans.
2. Battle system doesn't suck. There's so many new things you can do with this Battle System, it kicks arse! Quickenings, Gambits - Pretty much every other FF has not given you so much freedom to able to give your characters certain commands to do at certain times. Also, if you turn your gambits off, everything is still turn based - you can still chose attacks manually, and I have even discovered this during Gambits as well if you want to change from attacking target to another!
3. No it doesn't. You get Ashe for good, the last main character, on the leviathan - that isn't long into the game. sheesh.
4. No it isn't. It's quite easy to do so.
5. Turn your Gambits off then!
6. Please explain why you hate the characters. Don't just say blah blah blah and then not give any reasons. Granted, we can expect everyone to love them all, and even I don't think everyone is perfect, but with little reasons..
7. It isn't slow. You can kill your monsters pretty quickly. It's like X-2, in the way everyone can attack almost together at once. But at least characters move around to get attacking positions etc.
8. Magic is horrible? Why? It's the same as previous FF's. Deary me.
9. Yeah yeah. Reasons?
10. Well? Are you going to actually explain why anywhere? The License Board was good in the way you would actually surprise yourself, finding out new abilities whichever direction you went. Sometimes, you may end up learning abilities you don't want to learn when searching for a quickening, but it wasn't all bad.
11. Inability to dual wield? Tell me dear, how many FF's have incorporated the dual wield ability? How many FF characters in the past could dual wield? So if FFXII sucks in this area, it does so for other FF's.
12. Then every other storyline is generic. zomg, we save the world, good peoplez win lolz. yey! Every storyline has a generic ending, and with XII It isn't just one kid taking on a whole Empire. Sheesh. Do you seriously expect the main heroes to not win?
13. No it doesn't. What about the games that came on 4 discs? Their stories took ages to get through. XII's was a perfect length.
14. ZOMG, perfect reason to hate a game, cus Vaan is ugly.
I'm not trying to glorify XII, but when you don't even bother to explain yourself, and keep making little nit picking comments.
I'm pretty much giving the same sort of comments other people have been giving you. No flaming or anything, but people get a bit miffed when you dont explain yourself.
Namouri: Thanks dear
Quote Renmiri on FFXII
She loves it more then X!I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.
Well I was going to post but god be damned I was beaten to it again by Nominus and Setzer. My hat off to you two.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Yes, the reason I put "Well, in MY opinion" before it was because that is my opinion.
Yes but you never explained yourself did you, explained why you hated these things? To just use the My Opinion thing isn't always good enough. To get a better picture of why you hate such things, you need to explain yourself. That's why people reacted like that. If you explained yourself beforehand, people would not have given such responses.

But we need to know what you were looking for and what the game apparently lacked for you.
It's easy to spout off your opinion (just look at my FFXIII thread:rolleyes2 ) but it's more difficult to back that opinion (once again look at my pathetic FFXIII thread...)
Basically, by coming in here and shouting out what you dislike without giving off anymore reason than "IMHO" means you are wasting our time by not adding to the conversation. I'm not trying to be mean and I really don't mean to insult you. This is just a forum pet peeve of mine.
Basically explain yourself so the FFXII fans don't demote you to the wild ramblings of a mad man and just ignore you. We like good debates. Just check out the forum history for that.
