Yeah, XII was really something different. I personally found it to be a bold and riveting step forward for the series and it has a certain western RPG vibe (no doubt due to Matsuno's appreciation of the genre) which is probably what set back some of the fans on first impression. I hope it gets an HD remaster since I think it would be more appreciated today than it was back when it came out.
