Since the first Final Fantasy in the NES, I've been fan of the series. I have played every single console release (except FF:CC for the GC) and every game has been entirely great.
When I heard about FF XII battle system, my first reaction was of fear... How could they've done that!!!!
But really, it works great. I still love classic Japanese RPG style. I love to micro manage every battle, and every character; but the experience with the ADB is great. The Gambit System and the way you are more focused on how things are doing on a battle gives you the idea of a more strategic commanding officer: Kind of like being a general commanding its troops on where to go, and how to do it... its really a very interesting and new experience.
Still I have to say that de system itself as well as the license board are a little complex, witch may discourage some people.
On the graphics and sound side, what can I say, its every bit of a Final Fantasy as I can imagine. Beautiful settings, great graphics, amazing details, excellent music, great voice acting... and one of the best cut-scenes I’ve seen.
As for the story so far looks great, very intriguing and complex, the way it should be, though I’ll love some love story in the middle, even if its just on the side.
In short, FF XII is another great FF in the series, new in some things, but deep inside with the same spirit. For anyone old or new, to RPGs or FF series I totally recommend this game.
