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
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: gameplay, graphics, sound Cons: none
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

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

Pros: Interesting facelift to the FF series, many hours of gameplay
Cons: Repetitive, frustrating, unbalanced, not much skill involved
Summary: I've basically achieved 100% completion in this game, and have invested 100 hours in play time, so I can safely say in retrospect that this is a fun game. Often frustrating, frequently repetitive, but always enjoyable, this game ranks somewhere in the ... read more

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
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: amazing graphics
Cons: just about everything else...
Summary: After playing the tear-jerking, awe-inspiring Final Fantasy X, I was very thrilled when I was given Final Fantasy XII for Christmas. Like many other people, I was excited to get on board with the newest FF game--- but i did so blindly. I was hoping ... read more

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

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.
Summary: 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 ... read more

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
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

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

Pros: Free roaming camera at your control, great story arc, better able to craft characters

Summary: 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, ... read more
