a compelling and intelligent piece of storytelling and directing
by cheznywood on April 6, 2007
Pros: dozens of hours of engaging and gripping gameplay with boldly redesigned strategic combat that offers considerable complexity and enjoyment an altogether original and enjoyable experience.
Cons: can be slightly repetive and confusing at times as well as being quite frustrating as the game has a high diffuculty level.
Summary: This long awaited chapter in one of the worlds most popular role playing games does not dissapoint with a inspired art direction and beautifully crafted cast of characters that put ...
Summary: This long awaited chapter in one of the worlds most popular role playing games does not dissapoint with a inspired art direction and beautifully crafted cast of characters that put you at the centre of a lenthy in depth plot that unfolds through lots of beautifully produced and expressive cinematic cutscenes and plenty of well written dialogue. In between all this, expect a lot of combat, exploration, and character building the hallmarks of Final Fantasy gameplay.

One of the best games I've ever played, yet every game has their flaws
by JordyKun on June 20, 2008
Pros: Graphics are amazing; Story is moving; it's Final Fantasy; Battle system is new and innovative
Cons: Way Too Short !!!!!!!!!!
Summary: Final Fantasy XII, one of the best RPG games that I have ever played. The graphics are amazing (the cutscenes especially), the story is moving and it will draw you ...
Summary: Final Fantasy XII, one of the best RPG games that I have ever played. The graphics are amazing (the cutscenes especially), the story is moving and it will draw you in. The new battle system seems at first a little weird but soon can reach full potential early on in the game when you have three party members. The characters are beautifully portrayed and are all individual despite biases some may have. There is only one downside though, and it may just be my opinion, the game is way too short! I mean if you are the type of person who saves all the secrets and side-quests for the end, you'll be there within 20-30 hours (which is WAY TOO SHORT for a Final Fantasy game). I feel as though they could have done so much more (not all areas were involved in the story, there were actually a couple that should have been in the story; I think it would have lengthened the story, and made it better); also, as a FF veteran it was too easy for me, except for those few Marks that proved challenging (Yiazmat, etc.) But still despite that disappointment it still is a great game worthy of the FF series.

Great graphics, but really boring
by crazymonk on January 23, 2008
Pros: Great graphics and chances to explore
Cons: Really boring battles, and not much to do
Summary: I guess it's just me, as I bought this game as loads of people said it was really good. I've never had a final fantasy game before, and ...
Summary: I guess it's just me, as I bought this game as loads of people said it was really good. I've never had a final fantasy game before, and I can't help but find it one of the most boring games ever! I've tried doing everything everyone says about how you work through the game and control the characters, but the fact that you don't actually control the character during the fights and you just say what you want it to do takes all of the fun away. It's basically a game where you walk around, and write a program to tell the character what to do when attacked, it's more like being at work than having a laugh, which is what a games all about. It's got great graphics, and is a great game for wondering and exploring, but the actually action is just dull.

maybe not for beginners to the series, but this game does not lack character for the long time fans

Cons: very few save points make some areas very hard

Summary: there were alot of people worried because this game was not going to be featuring the ATB system, which is a turn based system. Also there were alot of people that were worried about not being able to control of of your characters. In fact I was a little worried myself, which is why I didn't buy the game right away, but being a final fantasy fan that I am I eventually had to buy it. And I can tell you now that I do not regret the fifty Gil spent to get this game. it takes a little longer to get used to it than other final fantasieswhen you do get used to it you learn to love for what it is, another great final fantasy.

Summary: Final Fantasy XII redefines the franchise, adding the free movement aspect of other RPGs into gameplay, as well as adding FF7:AC style battle into gameplay. A stunning story set in the land of Ivalice, the game pulls you into the world from its very introduction and throws you into battle. The must-have game of the year.

Best game of 2006

Summary: I've played this game for only a few hours, but from what I've seen it is amazing. The stellar reviews are hard to believe, a 9.5 from IGN - but after popping this game in and playing you'll be blown away. This game pushes the limits of the PS2's video rendering ability, cutscenes honestly look like they came out of the XBOX360 - and gameplay looks at least like XBOX. Stunning voice acting and great music (though not as good as Nobuo Uematsu's previous FF scores) sets this game apart. On a big plasma screen with 5.1 surround sound, you'll be in gaming heaven. I can't wait to get deeper into this game - it envelops the senses.

The small kingdom of Dalmasca shares their fate, and it is here that the tale begins. Two years after the fall of Dalmasca, the citizens are without guidance and direction. In the capital city of Rabanastre, the denizens gather and await the introduction of Archadia's new consul. To Vaan, a young man living on the streets of Rabanastre, the Empire is a hated enemy who took the life of his brother, the only family he had left. In an effort to exact revenge, Vaan hatches a plot to break into the palace and steal from the occupying imperials. There, he gets more than he bargained for as he runs into Princess Ashe, the sole surviving heir to the Dalmascan throne. Together, the two will embark on an incredible journey through Ivalice, tracing the mysteries behind the Archadian Empire's invasion. The choices they make will determine the very fate of the world.
