The first 10 hours of the game is great fun, but then the story gets messed up and the gambit-system ruin the fighting.
The gambits worked nicely the first hours of gameplay when you had attack and heal, but with more magic skills and harder enemies the gambits don't work. And with all those characters to keep up to level... I wish there was a way to set all characters but Vaan on auto. And there is really no use of amking one of your characters a magician or a healer. The Magic Points (MP) are drained way too fast.
The graphics is of course awesome as always, so fo ranyone that play games for their looks, FFXII is perfect. But I expected alot more from a big game like this. There's nothing really in the story that keeps you up all night, it was a nice try to make the fights better, but they failed. The game is just boring...
