I got FF XII the day it came out and I have to say that I think that it was worth the wait. Considering that it is on the ps2, I think that the guys at square really pushed the ps2 to the limits when they made this game. They did a really good job in my opinion on the story and the game-play. The combat system will through you for a twist at first and you may not like it. I know I didn't at the time. But now I love it and think that they made a  really good move with it. They did a good job on keeping load times to a minimum (like they always do). And the mini games are fun and should satisfy everyone.
