I have Played Every Final Fantasy since 7 Square enix does it agian this time changing a lot but its for the better.
GamePlay-- Almost perfect the gambit system which is a system of commands that the computer does on thier own so it limits all the menu driven combat making it alot more fun and fast paced. The new License system i Liked alot it may remind you of the FF10 system but this allows more customization. The Story reminds me of a Star Wars Rip off but its actually very good once you start to get into it im only 15 hours in but its getting better and better.
Graphics-- What can you expect from Square but nothing but good things its right up there with God of War as one of the best looking games for PS2 though i will have to say the Story Videos are some of the best i have seen in any game (and I have a 360). The character models and facial expressions are done very well. The Enormous cities and hundreds of monsters are all done in thier own special way.
Sound-- You know your going to get great voice acting and music and FF12 doesnt dissapoint. Some of the music like the menu music are from the old games. Others are new but still have that FF style. The voice acting is done very well whoever did Balthuis voice deserves a gaming award it fits his character perfectly. Same goes with Vaan and a few other voices of the Kings.
Final Thoughts-- I may not have beat this game yet (they say it takes 40-50 hours) But i havent been this into a final fantasy game like this since 7. I really cant find anything wrong with the game so im giving it a perfect score. What more can i say if you like RPG's or own a PS2 YOU NEED TO GET THIS GAME.
