Fantastical Fantasy XII

Other than yelling out " Finaly an FF title thats better then 7" what else is there to say about FF12. Well, alot. We needed refrshing, captivating, and exciting and we definatly got it. If your like me and disliked FF10 because it just plain sucked and didnt live up to the recent FF titles, and you have been waiting for an rpg (never mind ff title) worth 80 hours of your precious time, then your boat has arrived. FF12 is by far the best looking game on the ps2 to date, and probably will go down as the best looking game due to the ps3 arriving.

After reading alot of reviews on FF12 I noticed that the only negative comments about the game is the newly introduced license system. The reviewers have been complaining that it's confusing. I think maybe if your 7 years old and have never played a video game before it might come off as alittle technical, but if you can add, or tie your own shoes or even pour milk in a cereal bowl without spilling all over the place, i think you will have no problem adjusting to the new license system. Honestly Kayla was playing the game with no problems. ( for those of you who dont know Kayla, she's my 10 year old sister)

if you have a surround sound system I encourage you to use it while playing the game. what an experience! I love the MMO feel to the game, I think it was a bold but brilliant move, and judging by player feed back it was the right move. It's time for developers to step up and make every game count, because with the price of consoles and accessories, gamers are going to pinch their penny's. And when they are willing to give up thier hard earned dollars you better believe it's going to be on a game that they feel is going to be revolutionary. Gears of war is a great exaple of just that revolution I'm talking about. 3rd person shooter will never be the same again, and with good reason, its time to move on. and the developers that refuse to move forward and instead make the same old game because of nastalgia, we will remember them as such. FF12 could easily be called a next gen game even though it's running on 11 year old hardware. I just hope this is the start of something good, if developers follow suite gamers will be much better off.

Keep playing, players.
