It didn't feel like a FF game, but it was a good rpg nonetheless. The story was forgettable, as is the cast.

I quite like Final Fantasy XII. Dialogue is great, story is okay to good - nothing to detract from everything else too much. There is a lot of optional content in terms of hidden areas, or hunts, or extra bosses. I guess to put it in short, the player has quite a bit of choice in what they want to do. Yeah, there's a main story path of course, but oftentimes you might decide to explore a bit, find/acquire better equipment, take on rare enemies. Hoping to play IZJS one of these days.
I just want a HD version of it
I really don't like this game. Forgettable story, gameplay wasn't to my liking (especially the level and license system), and the cast was poor. Balthier deserved to be the lead character.
The game should have been a new IP. This could have been a new franchise square could have improved and worked with.
I too hate killing enemies to gain EXP points.
Actually, you just made me realize that it was worse than I previously remembered. Levels were just won in battle, which is fine, but you also received LP. The license board for magic and equipment was horrid. I was thinking the levels were tied to the LP in the way it is for FFX.
Even though I didn't care for XII's plot, it probably had the least cringe-inducing tone in the series. I'd like to see another shot at a more sophisticated FF.
What exactly was horrid about it, at all? LP points were so easy to come by that you'd have to be ridiculously underleveled for you to not be able to equip up to par equipment. I was even able to get a Deathbringer super early with no extra grinding required.
Final Fantasy XII needs no defense, its easily a top 5, maybe top 3 in the main franchise.
FF VI is obviously number one.
If I had to rank the final fantasies,
Probably a good jrpg, but never felt a final fantasy to me, which was too big of a downer after so many years.
And it did make me feel like playing final fantasy XI but with a bad ( or lack of ) job system, lack of trinity, worst graphics, ost and even story ( promathia ).
I wasn't aware FFXII needed to be defended! It was an awesome game!
The game has it's flaws of couse (mostly in the form of an annoying main chara), but i loved the (rest of the) characters, the music and the gameplay!
I'm playing FFX right now for the first time (my first FF as well), but I have a PS2 copy of FFXII ready to play too. Now I'm afraid of starting it in case they announce an HD version. Is there any grounding to the rumors of HD FFXII or is it all just hopes and wishes?
The most we've heard is that they'll consider it if FFX HD does well. If there is an FFXII HD, it's probably a few years off.
