I disagree, I think XII has immense replay value for the following reasons:

- The variety of characters you can create with the License grid is so vast you could build so many different parties each time you play

- The combat system is surprisingly deep, for a game in which you essentially do nothing, there's tons of strategy in it. I find myself get deeper and deeper into the mechanics on every playthrough.

- The story is deep as well. I've picked up on something new everytime I've played.

I've beaten this game 3 times, for a total of around 300 hours, it's possibly my most played RPG, so maybe my personal taste is coming through here. I really can't wait to get into it again, actually.
