Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The UK has always had a very unique taste in games, never comparable exactly to either the U.S. or Europe. As such, Japanese role-playing games have never been very successful here, even such worldwide blockbusters as the Final Fantasy series. No matter how fancy the graphics, most Britons just can’t be having with the tedious, randomly initiated, turn-based combat. So it’s a bit of a shock to find that Square Enix has finally come around to our way of thinking, because this game completely ditches the usual battle system for a semi-automatic design that actually has you looking forwards to fights rather than dreading them. Although you can still take manual control of a character the game invites you to set-up a series of tactics and rules for your allies before a fight, so you only have to intercede directly in combat if something goes wrong. Character customisation is also much less regimented than before and the storyline has none of the teen angst emoting that made previous games so hard to stomach for some. In fact the only major feature remaining from the other games is the stunning graphics (and they really are stunning too – probably the best ever seen on the PlayStation 2). So thorough has Square Enix been in revamping and refining every aspect of the series’ formula that the only people not likely to enjoy it are die hard fans of the originals. Other than that the only real criticism you could level against it is that it doesn’t exactly rival Wii Sports in the accessibility stakes, but with a game of this length and depth that’s a small price to pay.

 Rating:  - Good and bad.FF XII is really frustrating. At first I was worried about the new battle system, gambits & the lack of random encounters. However, the new system actually works very well & generally makes the gameplay more enjoyable. In a game as big as this, it would take forever to navigate around if you had to deal with endless random enemies. I actually think it's too big & the game lacks focus as a result. I almost quit playing halfway through because it got repetative & the story is dull & confusing to the point where I didn't know whose side I was on or what I was meant to be doing. On the positive side: There are loads of different kinds of weapons & the Bows & other ranged weapons are good fun. I really ... Read More: Rating:  - Finally a new Fantasy!This game is very, very good! First of all, don't buy into people saying that the fighting system is poor. That couldn't be more wrong. You're more free, it's faster and it's more fun! There are now no random battles. You can see the enemy, and you choose whether you'd like to fight it or not, again adding to the feeling of freedom. As with this whole little chapter of freedom. The world in which you're situated is a lot more open, you are now not limited to one path, it's a much larger space, of course you have the similar objective, get from one place to another to complete a challenge. The story will need some working out, which some FF fans may be unused to. But, once you grasp the idea, you will realise that it's ... Read More: Rating: - Long, Massive and Absolutly AmazingWhen I played this for the first time I didn't really see how this game was good. I've played many of the other Final Fantasy games and so at first I was disapointed with how the battle system was layed out and I know that a lot of people don't like this game because of the battle system. Thats where I come in. I'm just here to tell you to just play it for a few hours(about 10-20). It may seem like a lot but if your an RPG fan then all you need to do is play this game for about that length of time and you won't be wanting to come off of it. And the best part is...this is the most time consuming Final Fantasy game of them all so if you like long games and you can manage to get into this then you'll be spending over 200 hours on it. If you want to ... Read More: Rating:  - disappointinggood things: animation, art, cinematics bad things: a bit childish I think. I prefer Oblivion or Fable because you can actually PARTICIPATE in the battle interactively as you fight, whereas in this game you just press buttons and wait for the computer/console to do the rest. Also, the navigation is really cluttered and takes a lots of steps to get where you want: skills, map etc. Another thing: I am used to Xbox360. With this game (or this console ?) I can't find a preference menu so that I can change the movements of the character going right or left... Rating: - A glorious final hurrah for the PS2In the twilight of the age of the PS2, SquareEnix have really managed to squeeze out everything possible from this console. Final Fantasy 12 is a gorgeous game, with beautifully rendered, diverse environments and amazing character design - essentially everything SquareEnix is famous for. But is it all superficial? Is there any real depth? Is it really worth sitting down and dedicating 40 to >100 hours to this game? Well, the answer is yes. Final Fantasy 12 is a great RPG experience. Flawed for sure, but certainly worth buying. Set in the world of Ivalice, FF12 tells the story of the small Kingdom of Dalmasca which is under occupation by the almighty Archadian Empire. You take on the main role of Vaan (the classic JRPG young, slightly effeminate ... Read More: |
