The main problem with FFXII's gameplay is that once you start getting decent Gambits (which actually isn't that far in the game), your AI controlled characters get TOO smart and make the game easy. There's the option of turning off Gambits, but using the Wait mode makes combat too "stiff" in this game and takes away from the action. Using Active mode likewise makes this game harder than it would be with Gambits (especially when confronted by many enemies (Giruvegan for example)) and less fun as well. I don't speak for everyone though, so this is my personal opinion.
