>>> I think it was the art direction..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
The dialogue. In my opinion, I think it had the best game script in the entire series. You got things like, "I'm sharpening my blade, kupo!" "Ooo, soft!" "*tinkle *tinkle*" "I'm kupo for kupo nuts!" "No Cloud, no Squall shall hinder us!" And of course, pretty much all of Quina's dialogue was hilarious.

The characters and their interactions, the world, the story, the philosophy and the music.

But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.

I think art direction had a great deal to do with it. The game is presented in such a welcoming manner. The story is multifaceted, and (almost) all the characters get some really good development.
I think they captured the feel of the traditional FFs really well, which sold a lot of people on nostalgia alone.
The ability system.
The following list is what makes this game so great
- * The ability system
- * The characters
- * Throwbacks to other FFs
- * The world map
- * The chocobo hot and cold game
- * The story
- * The world map
- * The music
One would think that this is my #1 favorite FF game, but it's only my 3rd favorite o_O
Vaan - "Hey, you!"
Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

Well, it kind of goes back into time. It's more reminiscent of the older Final Fantasy series, with the game setting and whatnot. The story line was really phenomenal, the dialogue made me chuckle quite a bit, and it had a great cast of characters. Only thing is, I wish you could've had a moogle in your party.
ATEs! Whose idea was it to do away with ATEs in post-IX FFs? Hell, why hasn't SE made a time machine and integrated ATEs into the older games too? (Or at least implement them in the remakes?)

It's charming. "Charming" is the perfect word to describe this game with. It was cute, and a relief to play after two games of endless gloom. Still one of my all-time favorite games. It's a creature comfort.
Nothing, really.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
It is charming, but I don't think it's a 'creature comfort'. FFIX deals with some very deep issues. I would argue that the philosophy in the game is more developed than in any other FF I've played.
