That's from a game save that's 3/4ths in to the game. Remember how the game has you doing all that fluff? Well, now we know where most of the game time goes to: leveling up and doing boring shit.

So much fluff.

FFXII sucks.

I'm up to the Faywood (after Balfonheim port) or whatever its called... And the game still doesn't feel like it's going anywhere, and I think I'm nearing the end. I still have a buncha subquests and hunts that I've neglected doing, though, so that I have a feeling is gonna take me a while.

There's just too much fluff in the game though, I agree. Maps are absolutely massive and lots of the game just feels like running back and forth through dungeon after dungeon after dungeon repeat ad nauseum. I can't remember the last time I even touched my controller during a boss fight, aside from maybe attempting to get a better angle on flying enemies and so I can actually see the damage I do to them (the most challenging part of the game so far!).

Graphics and music are very nice though.

I LOVE dungeon crawlers, but FFXII takes the most unappealing things about dungeon crawelrs and puts it in a shit sandwhich.

Himu · « **Reply #8 on:** March 03, 2007, 02:37:43 AM »

I stopped at raithwall. I got on the shiva and then fought the boss. I quit playing afterwards and I haven't touched it since november. It sits on my shelf mocking at me for all the time i spent being excited for it (5 YEARS) and the money I spent on it (60 FUCKING DOLLARS).

I hate FFXII so much.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #9 on:** March 03, 2007, 02:41:08 AM »

I hated FF12, god damnit. People need to play VP2, its so fuck awesome.

FFXII is awesome. I want to replay it once PS3 starts upscaling old games.

I liked Final Fantasy 12 but I'll never ever ever ever ever play it again.

I'm looking forward to FFXIII with the totally better battle system.

You could get almost to the end of FF9 in what, 12 hours? To get Excalibur? I don't really see what this proves.

Himu · « **Reply #16 on:** March 03, 2007, 07:03:21 PM »

Yes but unlike FFXII, FFIX doesn't have you doing any filler bullshit. Most of your time in FFXII is spent leveling and bullshit. FFIX doesn't have you do this, and even if it does, it doesn't use that as a crux to artificially lengthen and prolong game time.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #17 on:** March 03, 2007, 09:32:37 PM »

That's your opinion. A game clock and a save location don't say much.

If it's like FFX's battle system? Then it'll be good, that's all that matters.

Himuru hates everything now, unless it is Shenmue or has animu in it. :'(

I fear the deadly combination of these two...Shenanimu...

Himu · « **Reply #21 on:** March 03, 2007, 10:58:28 PM »

You're supporting FFXIII, no? That's animu text book case.

I don't hate everything. I just hate FF.

How is Final Fantasy animu?

If it were, you would love it. Hence, it's not animu.

Criticism from a Shenmue fanboy means very little. FFXII is Guernica compared to Shenmue's shit marinated in a urinal.

I don't get why this is necessarily animu. I mean, his hair is blue, which is kind of annoying, but he's squinting in the shot...which produces that stupid animu eye effect. The game doesn't look anything like traditional animu.

Besides, Himu's Paradox holds. You can't not like it and it not be animu.

FFXII is at least a little animu, but compared to the previous FF's, it was moving in the right direction. I love the art for the game. It looks like 13 is back to the shit again, though. Not the good kind of shit either.

Yeah, for all the things FFXII did right, setting and mature story line potential was what it had going for it. Sucks FFXIII has to go and fuck it all up it and animu it x 1000 instead of evolving what FFXII started.

Fuck Tetsuya Nomura.

That's because its NOMURA art, and NOMURA ART is awesome.

edit:

oh you mean XII art... that art is gay.

It's interesting that you keep posting FF versus and Agito art. As far as FF Versus is concerned, that game is done by the KH team...and KH is definitely animu.

Apparently it's possible to finish FFXII in under/around 9 hours. I guess on the Japanese speed runners site someone posted a time in the 9s for the whole game and people at SDA are trying to replicate it.

tiesto · « **Reply #36 on:** March 04, 2007, 10:05:29 PM »

I just made it up to the final dungeon today... at about 56 hours of game time. Unfortunately I only did about 8 hunts, and didn't get any of the secret summons, or do any subquests. I'm gonna do all those before actually going through and beating the game. I can't remember the last boss I actually touched my controller once during the whole battle for!

Himu · « **Reply #37 on:** March 04, 2007, 11:24:27 PM »

what sidequests you just listed all the sidequests availble in the game
