Final Fantasy 12....
Link | by bluedude on 2006-01-23 15:39:58
Well I love Rpg's so one of my top favorate has to be FF8 & 7.Also my top favorate company Square Enix is know to make some god RPG's. Naturally I was excited about the release of dragon quest 8 when I first heard about it ages ago, and bought it the day after it came out.

But low and behold along with the game comes this FF12 demo disk. Its very bland and dousnt explain anything from the story that I dont already know. But being the person I am I tried the demo of the fighting system for the games, and found it to be pretty good not the greatest thing I've ever seen but I liked it, and for a demo the graphics arnt half bad. I just wanted to know other peoples opinion of the FF12 demo.

*On a side note if you only bought Dragon Quest 8 only for the demo slap yourself in the face for not relizing the biggest, bestest dimond you just bought for $50 In your life. ^_^

Oh, the demo was awesome. Down with turn based battles, real time is the future!!! It really was only there to showcase the battle system and graphical prettiness. And yes, the main reason my friend bought DQ8 was for the demo. He still played DQ; after he got bored with the demo though.

I haven't purchased DQ8 yet, but I want to, because I love the DQ series.
I have played the demo for FF12 and I loved the battle system, and I can't wait for it's release either.

I've played the demo and I'm really excited about the game. I love all of the FF series. However, I hate real time battles. *SIGH* I can get over it if the story is worth it... which I'm sure it will be.

The game is a huge leap from the original Battles we have become used to... and it was quite amusing on how this new system works (as it much more looks like an MMO) on a few story modes (ex: chase sequences)


I scored it 8.9 on my gamespot review

I would really love to play final fantasy 12 cause I love rpg style games, and final fantasy series would have to be the best rpg games I have come across...

Really great game. I'm loving it. No sappy love story, more political intrigue. I believe X-Play said it best in their video review:

Well it's different that's for sure. I don't mind the changes they have done....all the battle systems in past games eventually kinda gets repetitive so a change is a breath of fresh air. It made me feel like playing an MMORPG yet i'm not. Sure it'll take a long time to recieve licenses (i read it'll take over 13,000 LP to learn every skill) but it'll be way to easy if you can learn them quickly....RPGs are all about patience & strategy. You don't have to learn every skill just the ones you need at that moment.

I commend Squenix on shaking their franchise around from time to time....the creators made FF:tactics & Vagrant Story...both classics. They deserve the chance to put their ideas into the series. And judging by reviews i've read the overall product that is FF 12 has recieved excellent marks.

However i do beieve that the makers of FF:X-2 are behind the making of FF 13....so haters of that game may be a little worried...personally again i enjoyed the change...refreshing & a nice break following the emotional end of FF X.

Mr.Nobuo Uematsu-san is the face of FF music....but he is now a freelance composer & no longer an employee of Squenix. partly due to the fact that the divorce of Mr. Sakaguchi-san ( a good friend) & Square was kinda rocky. FF: tactics had an amazing OST so i don't mind hearing the works of Mr. Hitoshi Sakimoto-san. However Mr.Uematsu-san did compose the main theme of the game so his mark is still left on the game.

I'm most excited from seeing ZEROMUS back in a FF game....i've seen pictures of him being an Esper. He's my fave villian due to his awesome music in FF 4 (IMO the best boss theme ever!)...so i can't wait to get him.

I hated X-2 and I don't like XII. I've been playing a bit of it and I just don't like the way the battle system is. Then again my belief is that this real time battle stuff is nothing but garbage. There's just no love left for good RPG's anymore. By good RPG's I mean [in my opinion] not real time action crap, an actually deep story, took more than 14 hours to complete and had interesting characters.

While XII in my opinion doesn't have all of those things it does look good, but that's about all I'm going to give it. In the past few years I've just completely turned away from FF, it's just going downhill quickly.

As for psoplayer's comment 'Down with turn based battles. Real time is the future' I'm opposite of that. If I wanted to run around everywhere in real time slashing at things I would just go get an action game, it does it better. Real time sucks.

truth be told... even if i did score it a 8.9

the battles are getting boring... is it because im a veteran MMO player? i dont know...

@OniMenos
-They released an animated movie (Final Fantasy : Legend of the Crystals) an animated series (Final Fantasy Unlimited)and an OVA (Last Order) and all 3 can be considered as Anime. If you consider Last Order as a Game you might as well consider others like Shuffle... since Shuffle was based on a game as well...

I usually play the game without using the Espers because they will end up beaten so quickly I can lose 1 Mist Charge every summon.

VICTORY goes to the only one who is the bravest!
If you are not brave, you will lose but you still have the courage in your heart!-->

Man this game is really cool. The gambit system is slow to reactions and i dont like it takes like 5 secs to change from attack to cure and by that time my guys die sometimes.

When I was lvl 5 and in westarn dalmascalands i was fighting those giant chicken/bear monsters that come out in warcraft 3 and i beat like 2 of em just barely wit like 10 hp remaining and then some undead reapers come out and do some death attack and kills me, anyone else have that problem?

I was surprised at how many summons there are in this game and im glad to see some summons from tactics advance are in this like adremmalech and famfrit.

Yea i prefer using mist points on quickenings rather than on espers.

FF12 is great imho, they took a chance with making it like 11, the battle system, and how they aggro, etc., storyline is better, FFX/X-2 really was boring <.<... To think I liked it '-', but yah, even though it's great, there are some minor little faults, I guess I like this game this much seeing as much as a FF nerd and my love for real time battles. Also, the music is quite fantastic, my downfall is great music, have great music, and I think the game is great. :p

Okay i'm staring to agree with LuBu....i'm deeper into the game & the battles are starting to get a little dull. Dealing with the gambits takes quick actions & a few times i have died when i wasn't quick enough....i'm used to controlling every character...now it's beginning to feel more like an Enix game than a Square game. sometime the AI is not that great & it has cost me a few lives...espcially when i haven't gotten the oppurtunity to save my game.

Some monsters are too difficult to fight early on in the game...i remember when i was doing the sunstone quest i was fighting some hyenas when a werewolf came out of nowhere & kicked my A$$!I even tried for the fun of it take on that Tyranasaur....wasn't pretty.
