Re: Final Fantasy XII

I lost interest in this game after Square started sucking. Sucking hard.

So...after 2000?

Re: Final Fantasy XII

Pretty much.

Re: Final Fantasy XII

I wouldn't be surprised if they released FF12 this year. Or even crazier if they ported it to the PS3 as a launch title. That's not going to happen but what a gutsy marketing tactic if they did.

Re: Final Fantasy XII

Yes. A gutsy, awful, egegrious, execrable marketing tactic.

Re: Final Fantasy XII

I'm a little late with some of these replies (Memorial Day and new job that starts in the morning), but here goes.

The game hand feeds you who is in your party, and also hand feeds you what job classes the characters were.

I believe member-swapping didn't happen in an FF game until FF6. And some of the story was based off of some of the characters having certain classes (Cecil's being the most important case).

You could get Cain up to level 10 for example, then he leaves and all of a sudden comes back at level 30 without you doing anything.

And I'd rather not have to spend a few hours leveling him up to stand a chance against the monsters 20 levels over him.

And finally, while graphics don't make the game, it was easy to tell the graphics and music were below SNES launch title capacity.

Eh, I figured it was because it was Square's first attempt at both an SNES RPG and an RPG with such a developed (for its time) story. Personally I think the music is pretty great. Sound effects are low quality of course.

No turn based battle system, can possibly make up for the games other craptastic features.

Well then what kept me playing through FFV for so long? ...Okay, I felt the story was decent.

and jesus did I hate the character designs in 8.

Okay, I'll bite. What was wrong with the character designs?

And JLa, I'm very curious. Aside from the realistic character models, what is it you like about FF8? You say everything aside from the easiness, but I'm curious about specifics. I assume the easiness comes from the unbalanced junctioning system and how battles are easier if you don't fight in random battles.

And just so I can say I stayed on topic, I really hope the long development time with FFXII means that they're trying real hard to make it good.

Re: Final Fantasy XII

I dunno about Jla, but I loved the world in FFVIII as well as the sheer comradery shown between the three war veterans in the flashback sequences (in fact the whole Laguna arc was great)...too bad the rest of the story wasn't handled as well.

But come on...big floating military academy...who WOULDN'T want to go to the garden?!

Also, monsters come from the moon.

That makes them moon monsters.
