Just got Final Fantasy XII

[JaggedEdge]

So, I just bought Final Fantasy XII and popped it in my PS2. My initial feelings are very mixed. Graphics are amazing, sound is good so far, but the new battle system hasn't impressed me so far. It is real time and all you do is click attack and the characters attack. I'm having a hard time seeing where stratagy will come in. Why couldn't they just use the old fashioned turn based?

I hope the story makes up for the sub-par battle system. That crap they released before this made me loose a little respect for the franchise. The crap I'm refering to is the action game following vincent valentine. It was so bad I can't even remember the name of it. Come on Square Enix, don't fail me on this.

FF pisses me off. Sure, the graphics are always sweet to look at, but they don't put enough empasis on game play. I bought a GAME so I could PLAY it. If I wanted to watch a movie, I would have rented a fuckin movie.

The graphics arent that good for final fantasy 12..

but it is afterall ps2...

but it is afterall ps2...

what do you mean by that man? ps2 is king, and if youre comparing it to xbox360, obviously its worse. BUT when ps3 is released, youre gonna toss away your 360 for a ps3, its gonna kill it!

PS3 is going to kick ass. I have always hated Xbox and was happy when Sony decided to hold off releasing the PS3. So happy they didn't rush the release to compete with the 360's. I'm thinking it will be well worth the wait.

yeah man, 80 gigs of memory, ability for music and all, built in online, and a step above hd for tvs that havent even come out yet, its gonna be off the hook

well im saying there is better these days...on pc...and on xbox360..

i still love ps2....just graphics wise...its not that great

oooh but ps3 will be awesome man, crazy good graphics:thumbsup: awesome when youre stoned

or so i'd assume

[4gan2ja0]

yeah i really dont think the ps3 should have all that shit like wireless internet and all that shit....after all it is a VIDEO GAME SYSTEM

its meant so you can play online for multiplayer games with people around the world. think of gta like that, thatd be intense. and by the way, it isnt wireless, those are the controllers

[Acouwaila]

Yeah...when your high

the movie type scenes on ps2 on final fantasy tend to look sooo real

its awesome

I hear actual gameplay graphics of ps3 are equivalent to the movie scene graphics on ps2
