    Want challenge on the Bahamut ? Try letting those rooks gang up on you. I got killed there once, never with Vayne though.

He used no status magic which meant you didn't have to waste turns dispeling & esunaing(not a word but so sue me)anyone. When he became immune to physical attacks high damge magic like Scathe, Shock & Flare did high damage. His perfect defence too was no problem it comes at the perfect time to reapply haste,bravery,protect etc. After the FMV of Vayne Novus & Venat becoming one & all those pieces of metal sticking to him I was expecting one hell of a fight but not too be I'm sure Gilgamesh part 2,Yiazmat,Ultima & Zodiac will provide challenge enough & Fafnir grrrrr
    Honestly, this is the major problems with the FF games lately... Why are the final boss fights always worthless? Ever since FFV, it takes maybe four rounds at most to take out any boss from any of the games. I wish they would pull a Star Ocean 2 and make accessing the optional bosses and dungeons actually power up the final boss. That way, you get a better fight than one-hit K.O.ing the final boss with your "ultimate weapon of bad assness". It cheapens the game and the characters...

    ends rant...

    P.S. Setzer dear, focus on your studies. School is definetly more important that posting your review for now. Besides, I think most of us can be patient for you

    I actually think 12 was one of the most disapointing games yet

    because.
    -The story was so straight forward I'm used to some crazy yet looked forward to plot twist that never happend in this... it was like ok at first Im trying to beat up Vayne In the end it was always the same! In 10 your like ok Im going to beat sin then you fight with the measters then go back to sin.
    -Espers were gay and useless. They should of kept the ussuall guys and make them them not -useless
    -Everyone was pretty much the same excluding Mists I could make someone the same as Vaan if I wanted
    -Mists were kind of dumb their better off with their own limit breaks and such
    -the bazzar for getting ultimate weapons was kind of dumb
    -the only thing that could break the damedge limit was Zodiac BOOOOOO!

    so I think out of 7,8,9,10 it was the worst to tell the truth I think X-2 wa better. 10-2 FOR GODS SAKE!!!!

    The fact that you made this statement means that every single person that has half a brain on this forum, will overlook your post.


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

    The fact that true_bacon22 said "I think X-2 wa better. 10-2 FOR GODS SAKE!!!!" automatically makes his opinion invisible to me.

    No because that would truly just messu up everything it needed more story skippibng the scenes will just make less out of it The ending was good and the Undying wasn't too hard for me beat at 121 hours. The battle system is what really made the game, but if it had more twists in the story and more of it it in general then it could've earned a 9.5 from me.

    I think I had about 150 hours at the end. I was going to go after the rest of the hunts and Omega mk 12 but decided just to beat it.

    I didn't like the ending that much (of course I was bitter that my ps2 froze in the middle!) It made me think of ff5's ending what with the letter writing. But penelo sure was purdy all dressed up

    I understand his frustration... The game is so good it could have been the best ever, yet they dropped the ball so much in some areas that it wont be.

    You will notice people who have beaten XII just once or are still in the process of completing their first pass are a lot more vocal about their disappointments.

    After a while, when the disappointment wears off you start liking the game for what it is, not begrudge it for what it should be. I cite myself and Bolivar as good examples

    Give him some time...

    Most likely when FFXIII is released and the old adage of "love the old, hate the new" kicks in:rolleyes2

    Please guys, don't turn this into a generic FFXII chat thread. Positive comments are appreciated yes. This is though, basically for people to comment on my review, not for everyone else to add their bits and pieces.

    You can post again to comment on my review soon.


    Quote Renmiri on FFXII
    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.
    She loves it more then X!
