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.
