The official (belated) "Final Fantasy XII is dissapointing" thread.
So I've been playing through FFXII over the course of the past couple months or so... And... well...
Anybody else been through it? And have problems with say:
- Boring characters (none of which really stand out as the "main" character) and seemingly long wait times between any relevant sort of plot progression.
- Bland or repetitive environments. (Why is it that 3 of the 4 jungle/woods areas take place on elevated walkways?)
- A loot system based purely on luck (some of the more powerful items are in chests that only have a certain percentage of a chance to appear, and even then only have a certain percentage of a chance to actually contain the item... And this is without any in-game indication of where the item is in the first place... And don't get me started on the Bazaar Goods system).
- A boring soundtrack (in a series previously known for it's quality muzak)
- A combat system that makes it a little too easy to allow yourself to zone out and stare at the screen while the game plays itself, especially when it already has all of the above elements working against it?
Or any other issues that make you question why this is one of the handful of games to receive a 40/40 rating from Famitsu? Because at this point in time (I just reached Pharos) I'm really just waiting for the game to end so I can try to move on to another one without feeling guilty for having abandoned it...
