Final Fantasy XII

I've been playing this the last few days and man I think it is GREAT. The lisence system is great it makes your charcter 100% customizable Rather then throwing them into Specific Roles. Dont want your main charcter to be thrown into the swordsman role? want him to be a Ranger? You can do that! spec him to use bows and head down that path and give him some white and black magic to use. all charcters start in the same general location and when a new charcter joins you they start with unspent lisence points rather then pre-determined skills, so they are fully customizable as well.

Also I much prefure the combat system, in my opinon Random Encounters were not that great at all, I like being able to pick and choose my adversaries and being able to flee or run right by them.

So far this game seems like a VERY Sweet mix of Final Fantasy Tactics, .Hack type combat system , and FF10's Sphere system. all in all it has been a very enjoyable experiance thus far.

anyone else played it? /discuss

(yes yes i know this is the MMO forum but you dont have one for video games so i used this one!)

TP? is that the one comeing out for Wii? I may have to get a Wii just to play that =p

I also heard they were doing a Re-make of FF VII for PS3 so if thats true ill have to buy a PS3 if/when the re-make coems out to =o

anyway, ya I think FFXII will not disapoint you.

Twilight Princess. Its comin out for both the Wii and Gamecube and since I refuse to buy another system for a zelda game, I'm not buying a Wii...well maybe...no no...I'm not!!!

I'm stoked about this as well, gonna go pick it up later today.

Fuck, now I need this and NWN2 too many rpg's ftl.

FFX and FFX-2 were my 3 Favourites in the Series by far, I LOVED the old sphere system.

X-2 had more lesbian innuendo than an issue of Maxim.

As soon as you could get past the engrish, FF Tactics was awesome.
My all time favorite was FF3 for the SNES (I think it was numbered 6 international)

I lost track of Final Fantasy after FFX (since i don't own a ps2) is this the old FF MMO (or was that FFXI) or a new one?

I dont know why, but one of my 3 favorites is the first one (the other 2 being FFX and FFX2). But back in the day, FF and Zelda were the best thing since...well pacman and donkey kong.

I agree FFX was an awesome game but FFX2 SUCKED ASS!! I just didnt like the system. Anyway FFXII is a great game. It reminds me of boxing 3-4 toons in an MMO. I think my favorites were FF1(nes), FF3(snes), and FFX.

FFX was plagued with excessive cinematic sequences, it was a few hours from the start before I really felt like I was playing the game. But it told one of the most engrossing stories ever, had graphics and soundtrack that blew your mind. Which is exactly how I felt about FF6 back in the day. I still get that little shiver when I hear the Phantom Forest music.
