    That is a hard question.. at least for me. I liked mainly everything about it, but the most was the license board system. It gave you total freedom in whatever class you want them to be in of around 10 classes. I also really liked the storyline though.

    Wasn't my favorite but was legit..

    -hunting marks and side quests
    -detail in characters appearences and how their hair actually moved
    -that it had its own feel from places to music
    -some of the new tribes

    I liked that they got there's grammar right.

    But I really liked hunts and loot. Hunts becuase of the challenge of finding the monster, loot because I had greater impetus to kill more monsters (though this resulted in me power leveling).

    Re: What's did you like most about XII

    1. Voiceacting! The different accents are an amazing touch, too. I really liked the Archadian (British?) accent that sounded a bit fancy and arrogant compared to the "normal" Dalmascan accents. Bhujerban/Indian accent was fun, too, bhadra. I wonder if Old Dalan was Bhujerban, hmm...

    2. The graphics are really cool, it took me awhile to get used to them, but in the end I really liked them. Though it kinda annoyed when they had the flat-face when speaking (like in KH) and on other scenes they had beautifully animated faces.

    3. I liked to roam about the map and not worry about random encounters. I could just look around and admire the pretty backgrounds without getting KO'd while doing so.

    4. Music. Even though I miss good ol' Nobster...er, I mean mr. Uematsu, I really like the orchestral sounds. I think Uematsu was a bit too comfortable with the computer-sounds and wasn't about to move to the next level during FFXII-era. Well, maybe he'd do so partly (like in FFIX with the CG-cutscenes), but not entirely.

    5. RACES. <3 Actually this is the reason I got the game in the first place. I had just played FFTA with the same races and when I heard FFXII will be set in the same world, I was really excited. It's cool that you can play as a Viera, but it would've been nice to play as a Bangaa or even a Moogle. Aw well, guess it's asking too much.


    Lali-hoe, I mean, ho!

    I love how they changed the moogles in this game, I would have loved to have one as a pet!(or as a neighbor lol)

    Well final fantasy Xll had alot of great things about it:
    graphics,storyline,character background,battle system,gambits,races, and the music!
    You just gotta love the music from FFXll !!!

    Re: What's did you like most about XII

    The things I liked about FFXII was the gambit system, it was nice setting up automatic strategies.

    The hunt marks are fun even though some of them are hard to find.

    I liked some of the game's music (theme of the empire, dalmasca estersand, and the final battle theme)

    I like how some FF games were referenced in this title like the summons were called Espers (like they should be called in my point of view), gilgamesh had swords that previous characters wielded, Chaos, Zeromus, and Exodus made an appearance (correct me if i'm wrong but is Exodus and Exdeath the same person or are they different?)

    I also liked the chain combos and how I could equip whatever I wanted to.

    Re: What's did you like most about XII

    I gotta agree with Zelda with the references to previous FF games and to add all their airships were previous summons with the exception of Garland from FF1

    Gambits were awesome, Licenses were Great, I think it was a well planned out game overall plus the new races and like others I wish you could have played as some and maybe given a certain race a certain skill that they could only use.

    Re: What's did you like most about XII

    Let's see...

    The characters were done surprisingly well, although Vaan could still use some touching up on >.> Balthier got pretty cool towards the end, kinda wish he was the Main character instead of Vaan (By MC, I mean the guy you walk around with) although doing that would had change the story or rather some events drastically, so I suppose I'll let it slide for now.

    Ashe and Fran will forever be Terra (FFIII, VI for the young-ins) and Yuna's (FFX) rival in my opinion as the top 2 females of the entire FF Franchise. Something about the four of them was just amazing to me, they really left their mark on me. Although Rinoa (FFVIII) and Celes (FFIII, VI for the young-ins) are pretty much right there behind them of course...

    The Gambit system was the BEST thing I ever saw in a game, it pretty much let me turn FFXII into a movie lol, I mean I think the touch my controller twice in the entire
    Spoiler:
    Final Fight between all 3 versions of Vayne, of course you gotta know how to set them of course.

    If more games had the Gambit system I would never ever complain.

    License Board on the other hand.... no Reason for this is because there was no sense of individuality between the characters, everyone could have the same armor, weapon, magic blah blah blah, boring..... The only thing that was different was how they look and their quickenings... No one was good at one particular thing....

    Good to see they took it back to the roots with calling them Espers, but man some of the ones in XII were weird. I haven't found all of them yet, gonna find them later.

    Overall FFXII was a great game, rarely do I ever consider going back to an FF game but XII has join the ranks of FFIII (VI for the young-ins), FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, X-2, and FF Tactics.

    Not to mention I just wanna kill Yiazmat....

    Re: What's did you like most about XII

    I personally consider Final Fantasy XII to be the best game in franchise as it evolved the series in almost every aspect. Since I've written multiple posts as to why I like this game I'll keep this one short.

    - Non cliched story enveloped with interesting political theme
    - Deep history of Ivalice shown through multiple games, races and culture
    - As a group a well done party, interesting NPC-s
    - Battle system, license board, character customization
    - Non random battles
    - Huge open spaces
    - Complete freedom over both characters and exploring
    - Overall content - items, summons, weapons and equipment, bestiary, loot...
    - Sidequests
    - Challenge
    - Music
    - Replay value

    Re: What's did you like most about XII

    What I liked about FFXII
    - The Gambit system: It was what tied the game's battling system together. I would not be too fond of the battling system without it.
    - The correlation of unique races with their unique voices: This added with the luscious graphics and the deep voice acting added ear and eye candy to the most hilarious moments ( ex. like the Gilgamesh Hunt) and even the most boring or painful moments ( ex. wandering around The Great Crystal II making your own map by hand as you go).
    - The Hunts- Having a nice amount of side quest or stories is a well-known element of the Final Fantasy franchise. The hunt system helped to add to that. The hunt system added a new depth to challenging side quests by the variety of fiend types with their own strengths to make them uniquely difficult.

    Yeah one of the few things i liked was the battle system, the gameplay was fun and i could grind for hours, other than that i have to say:
    -2 characters were fun (Balthier and Fran), Ashe was 3rd and was decent.
    -Collecting weapons and equipment was alright, nothing special to note.
    -Side-quests and hunts were fun and it was alot of fun to explore.

    Other than that, i don't have much to say about this one, i still played this game overall for 500 hours, which is crazy for a game i don't even like that much xD

    Re: What's did you like most about XII

    Y'know i've been playing XII for a while now i i dont find Vaan that bad, well apart from his voice, and his shirt (if you could call it a shirt).

    Anyway, i like that it was different battle-wise. I've played X for quite a few years now and i gotta say change can be good. Despite my only commands in battle are frenzied ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK! and i like how the menu can be opened in the heat of battle which is always handy.

    What'd I like most 'bout XII?

    Characters.

    Final Fantasy XII's characters were (In my opinion) well played. The voices were cool. They did well to match ciratain dialects with cirtain countries. (For example, there are more british sounding people in Arcadia and there are lots of Jamacian sounding people in Bujerbah.) I also liked the way the characters were disigned. Particularly the Judges and the Imperial Empire. I thought they were cool.

    Re: What's did you like most about XII

    I thought the characters were the worst part. I hated Vaan.

    The best part was the battle system. If you didn't like the way a battle was going, you could always walk away, switch things around and try again. I was pretty successful with the gambit system too. I could walk away, make a sandwich, and the battle would be done.

    as did I. Although I disliked all characters except for fran, ashe and the cool dude (i seriously forget his name).

    Pros:
    -World map/exploration
    -Side quests/Marks
    -Weapons/Battle System
    -Summons playing a useful role
    -Frans voice acting
    -ashe's outfit

    Cons:
    -many characters were just non memorable unless they were really horrible.
    -storyline was comparable to star wars and highly unoriginal (need i give examples?)
    -The tower near end of game. I thought that thing would never end and because of that, I have been put off replaying the game.

    Another con that I should mention is that the game was edited due to having too much sex appeal. I cannot be bothered looking for source as I had got mine from eyesonff.com many years ago. If anything were to have more sex appeal, it would automatically make it better. Thats why the japs invented fan service.

    Re: What's did you like most about XII

    What I liked most about FFXII is the hunt feature. I feel it added ALOT to the game. Without it, the game would've been rather short and perhaps a little boring.

    I also liked the vast explorable world. So many places to go.

    Also, the battle system grew on me after not liking it at first. I think I still prefer good old active time battle style, but this was fun it's own way.

    And I loved playing Fran as my party leader...looking at those long legs and that ass! Haha. Kinda sad, isn't it?

    Even though I hate myself for emitting this, but I guess I do like the battle system. It was very neat how you could either fight the enemy or just run away from them. Also the espers were pretty sweet, and the hunting system was also a nice feature to get you into the game. I love just fighting the monsters in the area, taking their items, going back to town and selling said items, and redoing the process over again.

    Love Jill!
