I think I'm gonna play that again. I missed a lot of the story line and therefore it lagged behind some of the other FFs imo, so I think I need to give it another shot to redeem itself.

Yeah I've been thinking about replaying that too. Couldn't really get into it to be honest. And I got so excited when I bought it too
Right now I'm in work listening to Queen on the radio... desperately wishing to go back to bed!

Same with me, I was so damn excited when it came out that I went and bought it the weekend it came out with 50 of my 70 available dollars. Then I gradually just lost interest, and just wanted to get the damn game over with.
I think that has a lot to do with the battle system, as wierd as it sounds. You barely even know your other charcters are there, so you never get that connection like you know them, such as you would with a turn based system.
Learning the gambit system takes a lot of effort that would usually be devoted to story line as well.
That and the story line kinda jumps from place to place with long intervals between major cutscenes.
I think if I play it again, I'll already know the system for fighting, so I can focus on story line alone. All I remember right now is that one guy is bad because of some ghost thing.

Worst part about 12: SHITTY CHARACTERS. FUCK VAAN. BRING BACK MEMORABLE CHARACTERS THAT ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO WITH THINGS.

I really don't like the gambit system. I don't like much about the game. Was severely disappointed. Sad as this sounds, I actually preferred FFX-2, which had really pointless aspects to it. I mean, Yuna, as a pop star? Please!
EDIT: V5 I could NOT agree with you more on that!

Seriously, he was cheesy as fuck...
"I always wanted to be a sky pirate"
That sounds like a fucking Disney movie. No character was really that intriguing, save possibly Balthier and Fran.

Oh my god I know!
I think the creators are starting to lose inspiration a little, which isn't good for me

Seriously... idk... maybe a second play through will make it better.
Regardless, XIII had better make a major improvement.
I don't think they had the time that they did with VII-X to make the game. It seems like XI got a lot of attention trying to make that work, which could have taken attention away from XII. If you notice, X was like a 4 year project, which is what you really need for a game that size.

Thats very true. I dont know why they brought out XII so quickly though?

Boosh!
Probably because it had been so long since they had a real game released. XI was not only not a FF game, it was a complete flop that noone bought. They had to save face, and a new game fast was what they had in mind.
To give them credit, they had amazing visuals and really put PS2 to it's limits, and there were a few ideas in there that were really cool, it just didn't seem quite finished. It didn't have that mystical aura to it that the others have carried every since VII was released. Another contributing factor to this, imo, was the new music composition. It wasn't the same music guy from the old game, and it just didn't sound right.
