All that it was expected to be... and more!

User Rating: 10 | Final Fantasy XII PS2
Well, well, well, the long awaited final fantasy XII is here, and this game definately holds it's own to FFVII. This game came with TONS of surprises. New weapons, a character with an undecidable gender (Larsa), a brand new battle system, and of course, excellent graphics up the wazoo! This enstallment of the FF series comes with a new battle system, which made fan geeks cringe worldwide, but then filled their hearts with glee when they discovered it. Basically, here are the pros and cons of the battle system ITSELF!

pros: NO MORE RANDOM ENCOUNTERS! EASY FLEEING! LESS TIME WASTED ON BATTLES! Keeps the adrenaline pumping all the time.

cons: Instead of the typical 1-4 enemies you can fight in a battle, you can have anywhere from 1 to... about 10, plus, the victory music only plays after boss battles... which in a way is a pro as well, so you don't have to constantly listen to it after every battle.

The game also comes with a license system that people say is complicated, but is no more difficult than the materia system in FFVII or the grid in FFX. Overall, this is pretty much everything FF fans everywhere have been dreaming of for years, and absolutely will keep the pplayer occupied.
