Well this is a hard one, I loved the graphics and it also had some really good characters like Balthier and Fran. The battle system wasn't bad, just not my favorite. And all the stuff you could do in it was fun.
The story didn't really catch me though, and I found myself sometimes wondering: what are they doing? and why are they doing it?

I wouldn't grade FFXII awesome, but still a good game.
