I'LL NEVER HAVE NOTHING TO DO AGAIN!

User Rating: 10 | Final Fantasy XII PS2
OK, guys and (few and far-between) gals, this is it! I don't think I'll need another game for another year. I'm trying to put together EVERYTHING on this game...every side-quest, every hunt, every everything! I'm driving my wife crazy, but it's totally worth playing. I'll get her to sleep just so I can get up and play! Of course, I work, and I don't play as often as I'd like, but I'm making do.

Aside from the quests, what I really enjoy doing is developing every character as much as possible. I also like setting up the teams. I find I have two, and the make-up is about the same. I have one team with Vaan (the heavy-hitter) leading Ashe (spell caster) and Fran (long-range weapon/spell-caster), and the other team is Balthier (long-range/pole/spear) leading Basch (heavy-hitter) and Penelo (spell-caster/thief genius). I'll mix up the teams (like when all the women have to be together for one particular side-quest monster), but I keep them about the same all the time.

I do have to say that buying the game-guide is required...for me, anyway. But use the on-line walk-throughs here are Gamespot, too. They'll give you hints on Gambits and Accessory use that the guide just doesn't offer.

All in all, this game is a must-have for any fan of RPG's, whether you like the series or not.
