By shit I mean, horrible characters, terrible voice acting and totally piss poor story? But Im still swooning over VII, VIII, and IX so Im still willing to give FF a chance.
-
FFX was ok, I like the broken battle system.
FF12 has good voice acting and a new, well different battle system. Id give it a try, its better then FFX for sure.
-
XII is a lot better than X.
-
X is way better than XII.
Unless you like the idea of, say, putting down your controller and making a meal while FFXII plays itself.
-
FFXII has great voice acting and production values but that's it.
Save your money up for a 360 and get Mass Effect instead.
-
FFXII is pretty fun to play and is better than X which was "hmm which way should I go? Oh that's right, THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO GO!" >:( It's definitely not the best FF game and I would concur that Mass Effect on the 360 will blow your mind with a 12" electronic penis. But I'm enjoying XII for what it is, an ok rpg.
-
I don't get the linearity complaints in FFX. It's just as linear as past FF's, where the overworld map was basically a thinly veiled smoke screen of non linearity. The difference between FFX and past FF's was that instead of seeing a huge head popping out of a forest, you go through that forest. And who the hell gets lost in FF games that are not FFXI and FFXII?
FFX is so much better than FFXII it's not even funny, especially in terms of battle system.

Oh please. FFX is so much more fun than XII. XII's battle system is a joke. All that depth and scope wasted for complete automation. What's the fun in that?

Looks like I'll be picking up a copy of FFXII with my brand new slimline PS2. My launch PS2 has given up the ghost :(

You could say the same thing about FFX's lack of exploration.
-
Lack of exploration?
-
Meaning the gameplay is lateral, no world map just 1 route to take.
-
That's because the story was about a pilgramige. Why should they allow you to take multiple paths if you're supposed to be going on one path?
And even if the other FF's had world maps, they were just as linear. It was rare people would go back to towns after they left them until they got the airship, same goes for FFX. In most cases the whole world map thing SEEMS like it offers non linearity when it's essentially walking on one path. Rarely are you faced with multiple locations in one area. If you're going someplace, chances are, it's just around the corner.
I find the complaints about FFX lacking a world map ignorant. You're doing the same thing you'd usually do, it's just that instead of have a big ass head popping out of a forest or mountains, you go through those mountains and forest.
If you want a non linear world map play Dragon Quest VIII. Now that's non linear.
-
No, Morrowind or Oblivion. :P Those games are sick. Actually, I haven't played Oblivion yet but I want to and I heard it's sick.
-
Yeah, well, I would include Oblivion, if I hadn't played it for just an hour (an hour which, was fucking awesome).

FF12 is better in every way but battle system.
-
It doesn't have a better story or characters. FFXII's story and characters are flat as hell, to the point it's actually non existent,
-
FF12 is better in every way but battle system.
Where FF12 excels:
-Graphics
-Voice Acting
-Size of locations
Where it fails:
-Story
-Gameplay
You don't fuck those two up if you want a good RPG. FFXII sucks.
About matched with FFX in:
-Soundtrack
-Emo, feminine, (basically gay) lead character
-
FF XII is fun but flawed. The battle system is kinda meh but not a deal breaker. Lack of Meg Ryan alone makes it > X. Also, don't listen to Diablos about anything.
-
FFX has much better music... anyone who says else wise is smoking crack.
Otherworld vs any FF12 shit track, guess who wins every time? Also Vaan looks gay but doesn't act/talk like it at all.

In a gay relationship, Vaan clearly takes on the man role while looking feminine because that's how his boys LIKE IT
