Yes!!! I thought it was only me being impatient but those ARE long load times!

Love / hate - Ditto, the game is very uneven. For example, graphics kick butt but music is... unmemorable, insipid. I will not catch myself humming it like I do with Sutekidane, Hymn of the Fayth and other FF themes. World design is very cool, but story plot is weak. Battle system is great but Espers are lame and License Board is pretty cool but in the end a disappointment as it makes all my guys clones of each other.

FFXII has some pioneering stuff, like gambits, clan ranks and license board, that will be remembered forever, but also is very weak on some other areas.

Fitting that it is the last for PS2, a harbinger of good things to come for PS3, when they iron out the kinks
