    Yeah I will also add to that about the plot. When I debated this game with others I too was abused and called names, but I quickly learned that it is because they had no argument.

    Whenever I see the word "deep" I immediately think "Is this word thrown in there to try and make that be a fact" and more often than not, "Deep" is used when

    - It really isn't deep

    - Contrived mess is mistaken for deep.

    - Person wants it to be deep

    - Person buys into pseudo nonsense, in this case, FFXII is pseudo political garbage. This game is NOT political. It is just trying to be. I can't remember anything decent about it to be frank, there is nothing about this game's story that sticks with you political or otherwise and makes you THINK for a second.

    I have asked a number of people who loved the story, about the plot. I generally never receive a reply. If I do it is one of 2 responses:

    - It is so deeeeeep, there is a political force taking over and they must stop it. Politics = deeeeep

    - You must join the dots up, use your imagination.

    The second one is the one I laugh at most, because it's a sad excuse. If a story needs you to "join up the dots" then it hasn't done its job properly and it is a concession on the part of the defender that there is some major holes or gaps in the plot.

    So yeah, the story was crap, so was the character development.

    The music was ok, I liked a few of them but overall it was as generic as the game. I am seriously strong in my belief that had this game not been Final Fantasy and if it had standard graphics, it would have come out with 5 or 6 out of 10 in the vast majority of reviews, and the massive amount of defence it gets would evaporate.

    There are too many games that get away with their crapness on the back of fanbase or graphics.

    That will do
