@Locke4God: Ahhh you really make me want to replay this game again, I really enjoyed the quest for the Barheim Passage key for some reason. It's the one with the part with the cactite family, is it not? And the tomb and the stilshrine I also found quite fun to explore. Well you still have some of my favourite parts of the game left however!

And yeah you're probably half way the game now, but the last parts are pretty time consuming. And you've got some major fields and other areas left, yet to see. I love FFXII and it's huuuuge world. If you could jump around and climb around like in Shadow of The Colossus, I'd consider it's world like...perfect.
