Quite a departure from the traditional series. It offered a totally different combat system, a new style of characters, a strategy based story, and has spawned some sequels, Final Fantasy XII, FFXII: Revenant Wings, and FF Tactics: A2.
I think the series is okay, but it's not may favorite.
What do you think? |

It's okay. _________________ "It is often stated that we must weigh the potential benefits and risks before we do something perceived as risky. Of course we must, but it is mathematically impossible to solve one equation with two unknowns. In the end, it all comes down to common sense, which varies among all of mankind, and is never foolproof. Let it be no other way, and let us rejoice for those who are brave and boldly step out into an uncertain future and let us pity, comfort, and then gently nudge in the right direction those who lack the bravery or ability to do so by themselves."

| They should have left it at the first. The first was good but advance got boring after awhile and the PSP one is just another shameless squarenix overmilking a game, Kinda like with seven. |

Tactics is too boring, and battles take too long. _________________ When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

The battles take too long, because just getting close enough to strike your opponent takes about +13 turns! _________________ Therapists like me get a bad rap even though we're out to help people. That's like calling Captain America a Nazi. It makes no sense. SUPPORT YOUR THERAPISTS!!

I missed playing as Cloud in FFTA. _________________ I am a warrior. I fight for the Mother Moon, whose dark light shines a pale beauty upon our eternal land. Shine on Moon, and show your children the way...
Of such great powers or beings there may be conceivably a survival... a survival of a hugely remote period when... consciousness was manifested, perhaps, in shapes and forms long since withdrawn before the tide of advancing humanity... forms of which poetry and legend alone have caught a flying memory and called them gods, monsters, mythical beings of all sorts and kinds...

When they took Cloud out of Tactics, the series lost me. _________________ I am a warrior. I fight for the Mother Moon, whose dark light shines a pale beauty upon our eternal land. Shine on Moon, and show your children the way...

I don't want to sound rude, but did you think of using a gunner?
Their min range with their weapon is like eight panels.
And yes, I love FFTA. AND I CANT WAIT UNTIL I GET FFTA2! _________________ And so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written . . .

I LOVE Balthier, but to me adding him in the latest games was just pointless fanservice meant to play on XII's popularity.
XII is undeniably awesome, but there's just... no way I can love the whole series. _________________ I am the Evil Lollipop; a whole different brand of sweet!  |
