I personally thought the Gambit system could've used a bit more work, but otherwise, as the others have said, things start to pick up once you have a full party.

Why does everyone think the beginning is boring? I thought it was just fine.
for me, it was because I was impatient to get all the characters in myparty since I had heard of them all before
The first few hours were fun for me, I got fustrated after that though, but delightfully fustrated.

don't play the game. Definitely not worth it. I've finished the entire game including sidequests and everyboss imaginable. Now all I wish is that I could play this game again. When you finish the game, you'll only crave for more. Definitely not worth the suffering from waiting for the next sequel.
So far (28 hours in) the characters have been 2D, the story has been bland and uninteresting, the gameplay has been repetitive and the soundtrack screams "we were kind of hoping you would be focusing on the gameplay". Graphics are pretty...except for humes which look like they had textures applied to flat polygon models.
Um, the dialog is pretty good?
I enjoy it a lot and I'm a traditional FF fan. I find the chains and LP board quite addicting.
Gameplay improves a lot with gambits and a party instead of Vaan alone. The scenery is also a lot less boring after Bhujerba.Originally Posted by Aemilius Blight
Pretty lame dialog to me, for 98% of the game. It only improved on the next to last mission (Pharos tower).
But the new places, new espers and good graphics made up for it, kinda. It is worth playing it till the end IMHO. But not for story or dialog.
Chains are fun, LP board was fun but I completed it so fast it lost it's appeal. Hunts are addictive though
Me and my kids have dragon eggs:
the LP board is alright, but it reminds me of the sphere grid in 10
and the dialouge in the game sounds like the people who are talking have a helmet on, Penelo mainly
I have been playing the game for 28 (now around 30) hours. I'm significantly passed that point. [spoilers]I've just killed Judge Bergan, with one Quickening Chain no less.[/spoilers]
I really don't have anything to complain about in relation to the scenery though. It has been mostly wonderful.
I meant more along the lines of most characters (especually the villains) being fairly articulate in how their deliver their monologues. I agree that there is very little substance to what they say.
I noticed this as well, especially towards the beginning when it was mostly just Vaan and Penelo. Most likely poor sound recording hardware/software.
honestly dude, jus play but get into it all mentally an do diffrent things an leave the field of security use weak weapons make the gamer alot harder than it has to be
im to cool for sigs.
I'm gonna go the other way on this one. Unless you want to finish it just to say that you have, go for it.
If not, then realize that this story is no where up to par with games like VI, VII, VIII, IX, or even X. I enjoyed playing X-2 more than this game. Seriously, if you don't like it now, it's not worth the hassle and unsatisfying story.
But this is just my opinion.

Nope. Avoid this game like the plague it is a horrible game and you should sell it to someone that you don't like.
Never give up! NEVER SURRENDER!
Hush. :P
If you're one of those people who plays games for stories because you're too lazy to read a book, this game isn't for you. ;)
I'm currently in the same rut as you are but I've willed to continue. I've gotten bored at the Ozmone Plains near the Garif Village and stopped there. Went to play Resident Evil 4.
But IMO FFXII is comparatively boring. It lacks character depth and you end up doing the same thing over and over and over again. Search for something, get captured, escape. Search for something, get captured, escape.
And Vaan and company probably won't be remembered as much as Cloud, Squall, Tidus and the previous FF protagonists. :mog:
Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
