Final Fantasy 12......makes me sick. The graphics are frigging unbelievable for PS2 graphics, they blow Zelda away...thats sad. The CGI is beutiful, the art direction is fab...I love the mix of drab and bright colors. Gives it a rustic middle east meets the orient kind of look.

With all that said...this game starts out boring as hell, and stays boring as hell...glad I rented it. The first hour Im running around town and out side doind a few chores for people, slaying a monster, blah blah blah. Its boring, I got to the second town and Im not interested long enough to play anymore...it sucks:(

The voice acting is cheese balls to the max, and the most disgusting change.......the battle system. Its like FF 11s...disguting is what it is, its like it mixes turn base with real time action, Zelda type combat but does it horribly....*pukes*

When an enemy is near you pree the x button to bring up your attack menu (no more random battles or load screens, you fight in the surrounding environment) and you have magic options and attack etc. but there is no defend option, and its basicaly you pick attack, but you dont control the attack.

A meter fills up and basically you just move your character close to it and it attcks, it feels confusing and feels like you have no defense at all, its horrible. FF was made for turn based combat. I like the no random battles, I like the just fighting in the environment instead of loading a battle screen, but the battle it self is boring, uninteresting and the controls are junk.

Also they have ruined the equipment options. For different armor you have to buy "licenses"...WTF they should just have different armor for different classes like every other FF game or clone of FF...Licenses just to equip armor? Sure magic maybe but it seems it takes forever to aquire enough license points to get these licenses..To F'ing confusing for me.

I have never had an RPG crap me like this one. I like all FF up to 7, 8 sucked, 9 was ok, 10 was WAY TO SHORT FF 10x2..please when is FF ever a sequel, FF 11..never forgiven square-gaynix for making it online only, FF 12, absolute, GARBAGE! Not even worth the bargain bin.

WTF has happened to square? FF13 had better not be like this. They want to change the battle system, thenmake it turn base or we have COMPLETE comtrol over the character, not a frigging stupid hybrid of the 2...very lame Square, shame on  you:(
