I really tried to like it, I really did. But when it comes to what makes me bond with a group of characters...This falls flat.
I felt the same as you when I was in the middle of the game. I got to appreciate it better after I forced myself to proceed.

I think part of it was the hype and expectations. I was expecting something better than X, in my taste of games. When I finally forgave Square for not making an X-3 I enjoyed it more.

Yep, sounds about right.
I thought that every X fan would dislike XII and vice versa but it turns out this is not true. There are actually quite a few people that like both.

It's one of those "you had to be there" things.
I bet in five years people will be asking the same about XII

QFT!!!

I personally enjoyed X more than XII. However, i love both games.
Told ya so. It is possible to like both

I think it is very normal for FF fans to be disappointed with XII (and perhaps with every new FF game). It changed a lot of things that were liked, not enough of things that were disliked, all the hype made people expect too much, etc... XII fans will just have to be patient with us "fanboys" that were expecting more of Square. To each his own.
