I don't think you can compare this to X anyway. They are completely different beasts. There are things X does that XII doesn't, and things XII does that X doesn't. Before you sit down to play XII, you really need to expel all comparisons to X from your mind completely, because it ain't the same ballpark kids. If you're constantly thinking "X did this, X has this, X that" then you're not gonna like it. XII is different on purpose, you should love it because it's different from X

I know that sounds hypocritical because I have made semi-comparison statements around before, but really I was only saying that I personally like X better, not that X is better. I like them both, I just happen to like what X did more is all.

This pointless rant was only 2 paragraphs, that's not too shabby.
