Yes I own and have played FF XII, and I stand by my statement. I've never played Tales of the Abyss but I'm sure it is better than FF XII.

and have u guys played both FFXII and tales of the abyss?   i dont want opinions from people who have only played one of the gamesstrat505

Are you looking for people to tell you what to buy?  You're obviously going to get different opinions here.  Some hate XII so much that they'll constantly make a point to let you know they do.  Others love it.

I say, be a little open minded and try both games for your self.  Both games can be fast paced, one more than the other.  Both are fun imo.

Get FFXII if you're into deep, political and serious stories. Also get it if you like beautifully animated CG scenes that the FF series is famous for. Graphics are pretty good for a PS2 game as well.

If you'd like a somewhat light-hearted, yet serious-enough game, get Tales of the Abyss. The graphics aren't as good as FFXII, but it will do.The CG scenes are hand-drawn, really beautiful if you like that kind of art. The soundtracks... hmm, depends on what you really like. Neither really caught me up in a whirlwind, but by no means were they bad. A few tracks from both were pretty good.

Voice acting for both games were good, I'd say they're both as frustrating if you don't like traversing large, even huge maps. Tales of the Abyss can get you lost easily; FFXII may be a little better because it has a more detailed map, but it's still a pain sometimes.

Hope that helped.

Do you think I'm an idiot? You just asked me if I'm looking for people to tell me what to buy. Did you see the post i put? Did you see where it says SHOULD I BUY?? Do you think I don't expect opinions? It's called "influence". Im not going to listen to the opinions of peopel who have only played one game. And if i were "open minded" as you call it, and were going to try both games, do you think i would have made this post? Sorry, but I don't have acess both games like you, which is why i made this post. strat505

what makes DQ8 such a great game? personally i dont like the whole dragonball look, although that of course isn't a good reason to not like a game.  anyways, i tried a FFXII demo at my friends house today, i beat the first thing with vaan and it was alright, and the second one got really boring cuz i couldn't find what i was supposed to kill, and the gameplay wasn't very exciting.  is tales any better?  strat505

to everyone that thinks FFXII is great, why do you like it?  i played the demo and found the battle system somewhat boring, of course which is my opinion.  what do you like about FFXII that u think its so good?strat505
