Games/Final Fantasy XII/Reviews
From Giant Bomb Video Game Wiki
Final Fantasy XII
The last Final Fantasy game released on the PS2, Final Fantasy XII is distinguished by its condition-driven "gambit" battle system, its Monster Hunter-like open environments and side quests, and its setting in the existing fictional universe of Ivalice.
Final Fantasy XII review
Now,I'm a huge fan of the Final Fantasy games,but Final Fantasy XII has a mixed bag of reactions,most people say this game is terrible and is the worst game in Final Fantasy history (those people prob… Read more
A great Final Fantasy game, even if it doesn't match its legendary predecessors.
In the Final Fantasy series, certain rules of gameplay must be applied. The action must always take place on a separate battlefield. The characters must level up according to their established class.… Read more
The best game in the series
When discussing FFXII, I occasionally see criticism for how it "didn't feel like a Final Fantasy game". This has always confused me. I must admit, I don't truly understand what is necessary to be a Fi… Read more
Great, but flawed game
I played Final Fantasy XII (and beat it) just this year in 2010, I had been putting it off for a while, but was extremely glad I finally got the motivation to play through it. For a PlayStation2 game,… Read more
FF: Reinvented
Square Enix has always aimed to reinvent the Final Fantasy series with every numbered entry. Consequently, numbered Final Fantasy games usually offend long-time fans in some new and unforgivable way.… Read more
Will this truly be THE final fantasy? Nope
Final Fantasy 12 marches right into unknown territory by offering a plot so thick with politics you would enjoy watching Prime minister of Canada Stephen Harper analyze the Canadian budget more than t… Read more
Tragically Flawed
Final Fantasy XII Tragically Flawed. A new core Final Fantasy title is always a massive event and this was especially true of XII. Coming on the heels of the wonderful FFX (XI was a MMORG), expectatio… Read more
The new combat is fun, but doesn't hold up for 60+ hours
Final Fantasy makes the jump to Real-time battles in this installment. I was skeptical at first about a change in the traditional combat system that made the series for 10 games, but once you give it… Read more
An average Fantasy...
Let's be straight before I begin this review, the Final Fantasy series is awesome and has delivered quality entries for years, starting from the very first up to around the tenth game. That's pretty g… Read more
Sorely Underrated and Underappreciated
Final Fantasy XII is the first single-player game in the long-running Japanese RPG series to diverge from the classic turn-based combat and take a more innovative Western approach to RPG gameplay. Dra… Read more
A linear, middle of the road rpg
I always give credit to the Final Fantasy series for starting over. With the exception of VII and X and all their sequels, Square takes a monumental task of recreating a whole new world with new chara… Read more
Very mixed bag.
I just began playing this game again seeing as I never got around to finishing it despite pouring over 60 hours into it. I counted down the days to this title, nervous of the newly created battle syst… Read more
Simply the greatest game
The best game i have ever bought Story- A waging war between two cities and Dalmasca is right in between the war. A young boy named Vaan goes through cities, jungles to find the truth of what happened… Read more
XII isn't perfect, but the overall game lives up to the franchise
FFXII is a highly well-crafted RPG that any fan of the genre should enjoy. I'll evaluate the game category by category. The combat system (called gambits) is unique from other games in the series in t… Read more
The closest connection to Final Fantasy is the title
The latest entry into the numerical FF series is, in short, a disappointment. There are various things wrong with it, and in terms of style, it doesn't resemble the previous FF games at all. On the po… Read more
Final Fantsy XII review
Final fantasy is a great game if i say it or not. Square Enix has been making this game series for a long while but, still people love it for what it is a great role playing game. The combat system in… Read more
Despite some flaws, Final Fantasy 12 is a great game.
Final Fantasy 12 is the latest console Final Fantasy game. And as the latest Final Fantasy (on a console), it tries to takes the series in a new direction. And for the most part this is a good thing,… Read more
A Final Fantasy that doesn't live up to the series' high pedigree
Final Fantasy 12, the game all us FF fans have been waiting for, is here at last. With such a long wait, you’d figure the game would be an outstanding experience, and maybe even be the pinnacle of the… Read more
Square Enix didn't miss their shot... again
Final Fantasy XII is another chapter of the popular Japanese RPG game. From the beggining, it had the best visual design on the characters. This time it's back with an all new chapter, an all new stor… Read more
Progress in Ivalice
i've played through a ton of ff games, and even though ff12 totally revamps the ATB system into something totally different, i was instantly drawn into this game. the lack of random battles is so welc… Read more
Politics, wars, orphans. Is this game as light as the older ones?
FF XII is a much more mature game than the previous FF games. FFs from X-2 below, all centered in simple plot lines, with a few plot changes, or the common "Hidden Evil" that has been the center of 90… Read more
An easy candidate for 'PS2 game of the year 2006'
Final Fantasy XII provides the best RPG action in today’s games. Despite a relatively poor performance by Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XII truly lives up to the expectations of many fans worldwide… Read more
A pretentious game that's "too good" to be controlled by you.
Back in 1987, a small company named Square released Final Fantasy, an RPG that they had put all their sweat and blood into as the note they'd go out on. Who knew the series would become such a success… Read more
New approach, familiar roots
When you first think of Final Fantasy, you expect an immersed and deep roleplaying experience that is created by its fun gameplay and stellar graphics and presentation. This time around, the creators… Read more
Final Fantasy 12 was extremely fun, and better than I had expecte
I was really skeptical towards Final Fantasy 12. The last main Final Fantasy I really loved was Final Fantasy 9. All the changes towards the seires really turned me off to Final Fantasy 12, but I want… Read more
A game that honors the FF brand
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 F… Read more
Final Fantasy XII Review
In Square-Enix's most ambitious title of their ongoing franchise, Final Fantasy XII satisfies in more ways than one. It pushes the PlayStation2 to its absolute limit producing some of the prettiest gr… Read more
