could this be the best final fantasy?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

They're the names of the main men behind each game.

Hironobu Sakaguchi on ideas, Nobuo Uematsu on music, and Yoshitaka Amano on artwork and character designs. These three men are ultimately responsible for everything we know and love as "classic Final Fantasy." FFIX was their swan song.

In a parallel fashion, Yasumi Matsuno, Hitoshi Sakimoto, and Akihito Yoshida have had their own thing going for many years with games such as the Ogre Battle series, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Vagrant Story. Compared to the original trifecta, their vision is distinctly different but certainly equal in terms of sheer genius. Case in point: FFXII.

it's better than ffx and it's got good graphics. best ff for ps2.

[the_sandman]

the storyline is pretty hard to understand in XII. for me, the best was IX.

[Zeromus_X]

Not the best ever, but damn close.

Yes. It's quickly climbing up my ladder of quality.

[Rye]

FFIX is the ultimate Sakaguchi/Uematsu/Amano game, and FFXII is the ultimate Matsuno/Sakimoto/Yoshida game. And they're both better than everything else.

Yes, FFIX and FFXII are both my favorite FFs now.

[Dell]

This is my favourite Final Fantasy.

[chrisfffan]

It sounds promising what’s the music and the gameplay like? Is it very different or Similar? (my favourite FF games were 7 and 8 i didnt rate X at all)

[Miriel]

Nah, not the best, but still pretty good.

[Darkja]

ffxii is my fourth favorite in the series at this point, behind ffix ffx and ffvii.
40 hours in and i'm enjoying it alot, and although i didn't really like the battle system in the first few hours of play, now that i've fought espers and hard bosses i've changed my mind. its pretty wicked.

Wow, am I just imagining things or does this game make people like FFIX better since it's been mentioned so many times in this thread? I don't know about FFXII being the best FF because I haven't played the game yet, and I try not to get myself too hyped (I thought FFX would be the best FF, and it almost turned out to be my least favorite FF), though FFXII has got pretty good reviews, such as a 40/40 score from Famitsu and a 9.0 from GameSpot. It's also one of the most awaited FFs, if not the most.

Kishi: Are you saying FFIX and FFXII were your favorite games by Sakaguchi/Uematsu/Amano team and Matsuno/Sakimoto/Yoshida team, respectively? It's amazing if FFXII even surpasses FFT, or Vagrant Story, which some people consider a masterpiece (I think it also got a 40/40 score from Famitsu).

[chrisfffan]

yea reviews dont mean anything!

I absolutely agree.

[Madame Adequate]

Hmm, I'm not far enough to make a complete judgement yet but thus far I think this will very easily become second or third fave. Only VII and X have any real chance of maintaining their positions; I never liked IX much and XII is already in my eyes better than VIII and VI.

[finaloblivion]

the thing about this game is is that it's got such a drastically different feel and appeal than any of the other final fantasy games (its kinda like a linear MMORPG) that it stands out so much more than any of them in my opinion. the battle system, the characters, the graphics, the music, the terrific translation and voice acting, all add together to make this game easily my favorite, if not second favorite. i would probably say my faves are either vii or viii or tactics, which no one agrees with me on, but after close to just 25 hours of gameplay this game has me hooked and infatuated. GO BUY IT...you shant regret it. 10/10
