Final Fantasy XII for PS2

Pros: Amazing Graphics and Art Style, New Battle System is Interesting
Cons: Battle System Not as Enjoyable As In Older FF Games, Storyline Lacks Any Real Emotion

When it comes to established franchises, I'm not the biggest fan of change. I personally felt that throwing a water pack on the back of Mario was a huge mistake, and what Capcom did to Breath of Fire on the PS2 was a travesty. With that said, Final ...

Pros: amazing world, great character design, lots of things to do, unique experience
Cons: fragmented plot, not enough character development, tons of level grinding

After numerous year-long delays, one of the most anticipated RPGs of 2006 has finally been released. FF12 received a number of solid scores, including a 95% from IGN and 90% from the pickier Gamespot. All in all, everyone agreed that despite the ...

Pros: Flexible new battle system and massive quest, can be quite challenging
Cons: Will likely make hard-line Final Fantasy traditionalists depressed and suicidal, creepy bunny girls

Squaresoft (and later Square-Enix) has shown over the years that they are unafraid to switch things up and keep their 20 year old marquee franchise Final Fantasy fresh and relevant. Whether it's taking the series from its more medieval roots into ...

Pros:

gameplay, graphics, sound

Cons:

none

Ever since I my brother got me hooked on Final Fantasy X I have been a big Final Fantasy fan. When I heard about Final Fantasy XII coming out I was real excited, but disappointed at how long I had to wait before getting it. When Final Fantasy XII ...

Pros: Great graphics and gameplay!!
Cons: Certain things are only attainable with the guide or on gamefaqs.

This is the first serious console game I've played since my husband died. He usually researched games for me and figured out what I'd like. In this case, I knew I could trust the Final Fantasy people not to let me down, and for the most part, I was ...

Pros: pretty fun...okay, maybe sorta fun is more accurate
Cons: so unoriginal

Final Fantasy XII just might be the most unoriginal game I've ever played. Everything in it has been done before by Star Wars or previous Final Fantasies. Let's start with the atmosphere. Dalmasca has been taken over by the Empire. ...

Pros: Good story, animation, graphics, voiceovers, and sound. Tight controls.
Cons: It wants to be an MMORPG. Insane balance issues with boss fights. All the tweaks.

It seems like lately, Square Enix has been milking the Final Fantasy franchise for every last penny. With the disastrously disappointing Advent Children, as well as Dirge of Cerberus, I was worried that the cornerstone of the PS2 and ...

Pros: As always, the graphics, unique new battle system
Cons: The story is poorly developed, most of the traditional techniques have been abolished

Author's Note: I just want to say, first of all, that the Moogles in Final Fantasy XII are the cutest little creatures I've ever seen in a video game. I want one. I shall name him Fluffy. I was extremely giddy after I had purchased Final ...

Pros: graphics, new battle engine, potential for an expanded game (number of hours played)
Cons: cumbersome quests, ramps in difficulty, tedious, limited character potential

The street vagrant thought today would be any other day in Rabanastre. Wake up. Beat up some rats outside of Garamsythe Waterway. Hang out with Old Dalan and Penelo. Hijack some gil from a wandering Imperial. Same old stuff. But see, in the ...

Pros: improved battle system, increased difficulty, stunning graphics, engaging storyline
Cons: none

So, the long awaited Final Fantasy XII is finally here! Many things are different about this game, but it is still very obviously a Final Fantasy game. While the battle system has changed, it is a change for the better. I'm not going to give details ...

Pros: Battle system, customization, and seamless transition from FMV
Cons: Un-engaging story, Tedious buying and selling, side quests though numerous are all the same.

Since this is my first review on this site I’ll begin by saying that I am a fan of RPGS, they are my favorite type of game and really the only kind I bother to play these days. Although I am not the crazy gamer that some people who write for this ...

Pros: cool new battle system, gambits, and excellent pre render scenes
Cons: controller glitch, game takes a long time.

**note** yes I know this says FF X-2 but judging from other reviews here this used to be the spot were Final Fantasy XII were posted, Epinions screwing up and moving reviews to the wrong place happens all the time so bare with me. I bought FFXII ...

Pros: This game was just executed so perfectly... For once
Cons: I can not honestly tell you anything bad about this.

There were two games a long long time ago... okay maybe a year or so ago. One was Dragon Quest 8, and the other was Kingdom Hearts 2. Now I have to say that I really thought Dragon Quest 8 was going to suck, cause I played the demo, and it well... ...

Pros: Free roaming camera at your control, great story arc, better able to craft characters
Cons: The camera in tight spots, sound is not innovative, graphic pop ups, characters somewhat lacking

Gameplay: 27/30 Graphics: 14/15 Sound: 11/15 Controls: 7/10 Longevity/Story: 26/30 Overall: 85% Square Enix, once known as Squaresoft, had been plagued with a financial problem long ago that they thought was their swan song. As a result, ...

Pros: Fast, new fighting system, Lots of side quests, Graphically beautiful
Cons: Muffelled voice acting at times, little rewards for side quest completion, Story is meh

Final Fantasy XII combines elements of old with a fresh new gameplay system to create a solid game that just isn't as rememerable as other Final Fantasy games. Although the storyline is rather mundane, it is the delivery that makes the game shine. While ...
