Product Details of Final Fantasy XII

Description

As war looms on the horizon, the mighty Archadian Empire begins a campaign to subjugate its neighbors. The small kingdom of Dalmasca shares their fate, and it is here that our tale begins. Two years after the fall of Dalmasca, the citizens are without guidance and direction. In the capital city of Rabanastre, the people gather and await the appointment of the new consul from Archadia. To Vaan, a young man living on the streets of Rabanastre, the Empire is a hated enemy who took the life of his brother, the only family he had left. In an effort to exact revenge, Vaan hatches a plot to break into the palace and steal from the occupying Imperials. In the events that follow, Vaan gets rather more than he bargained for when he runs into Princess Ashe, sole surviving heir to the Dalmascan throne. Together, the two will embark on an incredible journey through Ivalice, tracing the mysteries behind the Archadian Empire's invasion. The choices they make will determine the very fate of the world.

Great for RPG and FF fans.

Strengths: New battle system.

Weakness: The gambits are a bit difficult to master.

I am a big Final Fantasy fan and once again Final Fantasy XII has topped the last one I played (Final Fantasy X). Great game for anyone who like RPGs.

Final Fantasy XII (PS2)

Strengths: Complete rework of the FF system, looks fantastic, sounds great, semi-open-ended design, numerous things to do

Weakness: Automatic battle system can make the game play itself

Final Fantasy XII completely changes the FF game system, and it's all for the better. The game has never looked better, in both the in-game graphics and the cutscenes. Also top-notch is the sounds and music. There's plenty to do with numerous side-quests, so there's high replay value. The automatic battle system makes the game easy to get into, though it almost makes the game an autopilot...

Final Fantasy XII

Strengths: I think the game is great. Im a fan of Final Fantasy, and i like this one. The story is great, with all the people in it, and the graphics are great as usual.

Weakness: They fighitng system is OK, not too much after a while and kind of hard at first.

Overall the game is great. If you are thinking of buying any game, visit www.dealspl.us They show you deals of all online stores, and they almost always have a coupon of some sort to get games for a lot cheaper, like 60 dollars games for 40. Go check it out.

Final Fantasy XII

Strengths: A deep, engaging adventure with plenty to do and a new combat mechanic. NO random battles!

Weakness: N/A

You either love Final Fantasy games or you hate them. If you love them, then this may be considered the pinnacle of the series. It features a deep, lengthy story with plenty of sidequests. The big change for the series is that battles occur as you run into monsters while exploring (as opposed to the random encounters that were a staple of the series before this). This is nice as you can avoid...

Final Fantasy x2

Strengths: What I liked about this game,is the complexety of the story and the drawings.I like how you get to have the abillity to go as you please.I also like the good explanations and how you make it easeir for new people.

Weakness: I do not like the battle designing that much.because you see the enemy but if they see you and they are really fast and powerful,you're dead.

this game is pretty much fun if you like a challange.so I think that you really should buy it I guess.oh I also like how you can join that bounty hunter thing.you'll see!

Was that the punchline? I don't get it.

Strengths: Nice ambiance.

Weakness: Utter, utter tedium.

I had seen people playing FF games many times over the years and, on account of the apparent tedium of the gameplay, I had never felt compelled to participate myself. But then, I decided to practice a bit of humility and assume that something loved by millions must have some virtue. That I simply couldn't 'get it' from a cursory glance. WRONG.

Final Fantasy XII

Strengths: Amazing RPG adventure, gameplay, graphics & sound

Weakness: No HD graphics on PS3

Final Fantasy XII is one of the best recent RPG games that was released on Playstation 2 exclusively. Just like its predecessors in the Final Fantasy series, it features a deep, engaging storyline played out in a fantasy adventure. Although it doesn't have high definition graphics, it is still top-notched given the limitation of the Playstation 2 hardware. Sound is amazing too and does give the...

Final Fantasy XII

Strengths: Great story, graphics and sound

Weakness: None

Final Fantasy XII is yet another installment of the Final Fantasy series that are well known for its great stories and battle systems. I would say that Final Fantasy XII does not disappoint. The battle system has received some major revision and requires some time to get used to. For one, it's real-time combat instead of the traditional turn-based system. Graphics is excellent on the PS2 console....

No more turn-based battles FF

Strengths: Graphics, no more turn-based battles, sound, gameplay

Weakness: Its not perfect

Final Fantasy XII is a RPG game for the Sony Playstation 2. This is the twelfth installment of the Final Fantasy franchise and it also makes the biggest improvement in an Final Fantasy game since Final Fantasy VII. The game replaces turn-based combat with real-time combat. No more random battles. Yay!!! Sound is terrific and graphics are great for a PS2 game. Its all great, except that the...

Last Great RPG for the PS2

Strengths: Amazing RPG, Great game on the PS2

Weakness: Not on PS3

Mind blowing how good the PS2 can look, it games like this and God of War 2 that makes you wonder if the PS3 was even needed. Must own game for any PS2 owner that enjoys RPG Games.

Final Fantasy XII

Five years - that is how long the wait has been since the last “true and original” Final Fantasy came out to American shores. Some people might say 'what about Final Fantasy X-2?', but that really isn’t considered true, because it is a sequel off of an existing story. The wait has been very long with screenshots, short movies, trailers, teasers, and even a demo of the new game and all it...
