XII problems

For me, the story was not as enjoyable as other FF stories.Darmi

For me the problem was the characters, I didnt enjoy the game cause of the lack of deep feeling that they hadangelbless

The characters were great, it's just that they did nothing cool in the storyeztarg8

something cool? Like getting killed by some dude with a hellish long sword?kinetic-core

right.... apparently, having a nice hairstyle makes characters cool too.

Judge Drace i think. Can't remember too. You see, that's the whole point, it's kinda hard to remember politics. And i think it was brutal to Gabranth instead. I don't think he wanted to kill her, but he wanted to protect Larsa, indeed.

who has long hair, a leather jacket and a harley davidson? Although that'd be cool, in some waykinetic-core

too linear the only other thing you could do was hunt which was basically boss fights when you felt like it i thought it could have had more side storiesSTK3000

story-wise, it wasn't really linear, there are things you don't expect that happen, and the politics just make things harder to understand, which is probably not liked by younger players.

Well now, it couldn't be more linear than FFX can it?

I don't know why sop many people have trouble understanding the story. I mean, it's more mature, but that doesn't make it harder to comprehend

True, True...

I understand the story, I just don't like it.Darmi

Well, it's the story for me. I'm not a huge fan of politics at all, and sometimes the story got a little confusing to me, and the fact that I turned off subtitles and had a hard time understanding characters sometimes didn't help. What made me enjoy FFXII was all the side quests you could do, really.DJ-Lafleur

I'm sure it would help, but I don't feel like playing it again.

you two better control yourself better, here's the first caution. :roll:

I'd say it takes ANYONE to understand FFXII's story, but to really go into it and watch every single move and understand every single story event which leads to another, it takes another type of mind to comprehend this. I'm sure fs is the latter, since he's standing by FFXII's story so strongly. I am, too. In fact, it may not be the best, but it definitely ranks high up there in political storylines.

Just that, it's not really very enjoyable. I can play anything before FFXII over and over although the stories are expected and simple. But, there's the simple beauty in games with stories like them. Simple, yet enjoyable stories. FFXII, complicated,and necessary for a few play throughs tointerpret every part of the storyit fully.

ok well i agree that the FFX story was one of the bests and i admit that some parts of FFX made my eyes watery and not only if the story makes u cry is good but u have to undertsnad the story if you dont unerstand the story than its bad and if u dont understand the concept with Sin and Jecht and the switching of time periods its alos less intressting i say FFX is the number one story of any FF in MY OPINION !!! and alos yes i love star wars

[QUOTE="Darmi"]I understand the story, I just don't like it.fs_metal

Yeah, it was well written. I still don't like it though. Characters weren't interesting enough in my opinion.

Well, some games I'll play over again, others I won't. For me it depends more on the gameplay than stories when it comes to another playthrough. A story is usually the same thing in a game no matter how many times you play it, while in gameplay you can usually do many different things to power your characters and many fun ways to strengthen your party. If the gameplay is fun enough, I'll give it another playthrough, basically.DJ-Lafleur

Well, I basically did mostly all side stuff in XII my first playthrough, so I don't have much reason to start XII now.

yes, and for the first time, an NPC with a not-too-big role became my fav char in FFXII - Gabranthkinetic-core

Yes!!!for me was Gilgamesh though :P

oh yeah Gilgamesh was cool, kinda funny tooDuo_Haggard
