I got FFXII a few days ago as an early Christmas present. Let me tell you, this game lives up to all of its hype. It is has a good, well-told story which is very different from the other FFs. There is no good or bad side, just how you see the characters and their goals and intentions. The music really fits the places you go. It has mostly a Middle-Eastern mix to it, which is different and cool. The graphics are amazing. You can see everything on the character's faces. The gameplay is different, but interesting. It goes well with some parts of the story. The beginning sequence is wonderful, and hooks you to the game, making you lose track of time. I reccomend this to any and everyone.
