moonwiseOK, I'm late to the party, but I have FFXII.
Am much enjoying the small resemblances to Vagrant Story, especially Vaan's spellcasting move (though, come to think of it, Squall did the same thing) and the little sparkles surrounding the spellcaster. I have noticed one glaring deficiency, though: NO ASS PANTS. We need a male character with Arseley-brand ass pants.
I'm not very far along in the game yet - don't even have Gambits yet - but it seems from many of you other players out there that Gambits seem to allow you to walk away from the game if you set them right. That's not very exciting. It seems like a complete 180 from FFX-2, where if you were not Button Masher Supreme, the monster would eat you before you got your Super Duper Mega Pretty Pretty Princess Attack off. (Though I am ashamed to admit that I spent a good portion of yesterday working through the FFX-2 Chocobo dungeon.)
Husband asked whether it's hard to go from a game where you have many of the good powerups back down to a game where you're still a rookie, and whether it was more fun to be the rookie. Nah, it's fun to have the powerups.

Date: 2006-12-28 04:12 am (UTC)I have to say that I'm not really drawn into the story. I don't really care for the characters or what's going on in the world. Hell it doesn't even feel like Ivalice to me. If anything it looks like the designs were taken straight from a visual guide to Star Wars. The opening FMV screamed the victory parade on Naboo. My sister and I were looking for Gungans.
I loved the gameplay in X-2. I could have done without the whole girl power thing but it was still a fun game. I'm currently playing FF3 for the DS. Funny how I keep going backwards as opposed to jumping on the current ones. XD
