FFXII is a brilliant game, probably a lot better then this "thing" you call WoW *shudders*

It's a good battle system, if you don't like random battles, you should ennjoy this system an awful lot. Monsters will still give you the goosebumps if they suddenly spring up on you, like the Vipers for instance - watch out for rare game, which can be quite nasty, and Zertinan Caverns early on, because if you go too far, you'll get battered <3. You will sometimes seen "green" bar monsters - neutral, so they won't attack you. However, even if it's a harmless bunny or a Garif adventurer, don't help them out by healing them, they will turn on you. The Rabanastre watch doesn't though. Build up chains for far lots of loot which will sell for many gils, and by building massive chains, you will earn some spiffy weapons. Look out for traps too - the majority will damage you/inflict some sort of status effect on you, however..there are some which will heal you. Either have someone cast Libra (a technick) on themselves, or just cast float on your party when you can, and you can walk over the traps.The VA is better then X's, they appear more realistic, more fitting for characters - they're more enjoyable to listen to anywho. Take for example the judges - Bergan = feel the evilness. Ghis = you feel the slyness/his determination usurp Vayne. etc etc. Graphics = mindblowing of course. Quickenings, will come in useful for some bosses, if you can manage a great quickening chain. Summons, not so good, but their bestiary info kinda makes up their lack of usefulness for me. Ah yes, moving onto the bestiary - you find out a lot about monsters, and once you collect a certain number of monsters, well, kill a certain amount, you will find out more info about Ivalice, and other secret things too. FMV's - very beautiful, although they could have replaced some cutscenes with a few more FMV's. Some places like Archades and Rabanastre are huge in detail, so take your time exploring them. Do that with every place though. The storyline - yes, it's not as long as some may think, but to me it's a refreshing change from the dreary emo worlds that some FF's i.e VII's, seem to be. The characters don't have terribly dreary backstories, and they are all interesting, well most. Pennelo - sorry love, you're sweet and not as annoying as Rikku or Yuffie, but you're a bit dull. They work together well, and considering how they all came to be together, they're as good as friends as you'd expect such a group to be.

I could add more...but jus lemme know what else you wanna know about.
