Why a lot of fans don't like this game *SPOILERS*

^^^ The biggest thing I learned from that post is that you have no idea how to play FF XII. It sounds like you came up with a gambit configuration that didn't work and decided to stick with it rather than try something else.

No. I tried it with a Gambit configuration and the game was boring as hell with them on. Then I turned them off and opted to control every character manually like I normally do in these games and it was suddenly a lot more enjoyable. I admit the wording in that post is extremely misleading.

Gambits make the game very dull; sure you can get a configuration that works but then doesn't that just mean you may as well put down the controller? Seriously, what is the point of setting up a bunch of things that make the game play itself? I can select my own Hastes, Cures and Firagas, that's what FF is all about for me.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is that if you weren't a lazy gamer (which unfortunately a lot of people seem to be) then there was no need for Gambits at all.
