Just stop right there. That statement alone renders your entire opinion invalid. If FFXII's battle system, which for once requires no loading a separate screen to do battle, and does not even require you to take the time to select options, is "slow" for you, then you are doing it wrong. It is by far the fastest, sleekest battle system in the series.Originally Posted by Polnareff
As to the OP, people just don't like change. The battle system bugs lazy people who don't want to take the time to figure out what they like. And even though the game does some things very well, it has some problems. The pacing of the story was absolutely awful, leaving the development entirely to 5-10 minute cutscenes separated by hours and hours of dungeon crawling. The summons were also useless.
But it's still a good game. Despite not having a real world map, it's arguably the best FF for exploration. It's story and characters were also a welcome change of pace from the typical fantasy tropes.
