I'm not going to say that Final Fantasy XII is the best thing to ever happen to Final Fantasy or anything crazy like that but I will say that it was a great addition to the FF series.

Let's start with the different battle system. If the haters could pull there heads out of their butts for a moment, they could realise it's NOT THAT DIFFERENT! It still has charging guages that rely on ATB, you can move around but it's not like you can dodge attacks or anything...I don't see the real difference.

The story has a great amount of depth but really I don't think they ("they" being Square) really spent as much time as they would've liked to in developing it.

I think it's a good game...try to stop hating people.
