Worth its wait in bronze

User Rating: 9.2 | Final Fantasy XII PS2
Final Fantasy Twelve, at the very least is a decent story. Yet unlike most of the games that belong to the series, there isn't much to be said in the event of the "plot twist". There really is no plot twist to speak of. The game is straight and to the point. The concept was for lack of a better word, different. It ran like an MMORPG and the aggro was alittle bit different. There were loopholes at every turn and didn't make the game all that difficult. With the introduction of the licensing board, it took hours of grinding out LP to fill it up, but in the early parts of the game, you'd be an unstoppable force. Until about half way through the game that is, there is a massive spike in the difficulty of the creatures. There were some, and I use that term loosely, battles that were actually a challenge.

Game play was easy. The ability to move around the field, and change camera angles at will was a pleasant sight. Sometimes you'd end up with very awkward shots, and that's alright, moving the camera gives a better feel as to the area.

The graphics, I think were very well done. Walking through town and getting ready to enter a new part of it, you could actually see a perfect representation of what its going to look like when you get there. Plus when people would go into that area before you, and you'd follow them in. They would actually be there when you entered the new area. It was very refreshing. One of my favorite areas was the Sandsea, and for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, check it out. The sound was alright. The music in general wasn't the best that I've ever heard. The soundtrack was pretty generic when entering certain dungeons. The boss battle music, was more hard and driving and fit some of the battles to a tee.

It definitely has replay value, especially if you are a hardcore Final Fantasy enthusiast. I've played it twice already. There are all kinds of twists that you are bound to miss the first time you run through the game.

Even though this review says what it says, I still think it was a great game.
