    I'm neglectant to fully recommend any game where the developers purposefully set out to make it so confusing players would be forced to look for outside help. Other than that FF12 is fun, but probably not up there with the best of them for me personally. I'll try some of the side quests and what not to get my money's worth, but ultimately it's not a game that'll stick with me forever.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I had no issues. This is the only game I can play over and over without screaming and always find something new and intruiging.

    Wait, I lied, Vann is my issue.
    But whatever!

    I think Vaan was everyone's issue. I found him a bit irritating myself, but I always compare him to Tidus without realising (which is part of the reason I don't really find Tidus that annoying).

    Music: Music was a bit repetitive in some parts, but other than that the soundtrack didn't bother me.

    Characters: I like the characters. Ashe was a bitch but I still liked her, Balthier was just awesome, Fran was quiet but was also awesome, Basch was very cool, Penelo was cheery and perked up the team a bit, and Vaan had his good points (don't ask me what they are because I haven't played the game in a while, but I know he has some good points!) even though he was annoying. The only problem was that the characters didn't converse as much as I would have liked.

    Story: Story was great. It was a bit Star Wars-y in some parts, but it reminded me of FF2, which brought back good memories (and I don't even LIKE FF2!). I can see why some people don't like it, though. It isn't as deep and involving as some previous FFs, but it IS still good. Mind you, I haven't finished the game yet, so I don't know the full storyline.

    Gameplay: By this time, I was kinda getting sick of random battles, so the new battle system was a refreshing change. I actually loved Gambits, it meant I didn't have to control every single character. I loved the fact that you could change characters in battle, and if your team died you had backup (even if it was low-level backup! ). The licence board system was pretty cool, but it did let you get a bit overpowered, and I wish it was bigger (my Balthier almost has everything on the board!).

    Overall: I think this game is awesome. It may not be the best Square title, but it is still a great game and everyone who loves FF should play it.

    ...I feel like a proper reviewer.

    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.

    Personally (having only played the game for a short while in), i'm finding the story really confusing, what with all those political motives and such. I'm just lost in it.

    However, the battle system is brilliant! I like the way that there are multiple ways of making your characters do something.

    I was really dissapointed with this game.

    You didnt really get a good "relationship" with the characters, and you just went from one place to another, listening to Ashes moaning and the bitch smurfing about the damn mist over and over again.

    The music sucked. Not one memorable (typo?) song at all.
    When I play older FF games, I always get various tunes in my head. And they're good. I belive that FFIX had the best music, but thats a different discussion.

    I really think games these days lacks the quality of the older games. This goes for games in general. Seems like all they care about is graphics and effects.

    Theres a reason people are playing older FF games, why there are world tournaments in Street fighter, and why Starcraft is the most popular RTS let alone the most popular event on Korean television, 10 years after its release.
    Thats just a general observation, and has nothing to do with this topic.

    Bottom line, this game is probably the first FF I wont play more than once.

    I'm playing VIII now and the difference on the soundtrack is so noticeable!!!

    How they ever allowed Nobuo Uematsu out of their FF game soundtrack is beyond me. The guy makes even a 30 sec battle tune sound wonderful!
