Play this game, it has quite possible the greatest most cohesive world in the entire game. I didn't finish the game cause I wanted to know what happened, I literally wanted to save this beautiful and exotic world from being destroyed by a tyrant.

It's cast is good (just don't think of Vaan as the main character, since he really isn't. FFXII never had an official "main character" like FFVII, FFVIII, and FFX) you'll enjoy the story better and may end up liking him more. The story is good, but don't expect anything like this team's previous efforts. The music is completely fitting to the enviroments but don't be expecting to be humming them when you shut off the game.

The game gives as much as your willing to put in. The gambit system and Liscense Board are only as fun and as creative as the player. Try to experiment a little and don't just blast through the game to finish the story. You'll miss 90% of what this FF brings to us.

Also EXPLORE, this game has a massive world and alot of it is pretty much optional. Take time to look around and see the sights.
