Robin takes a look back at what he considers the best (and least discussed) Final Fantasy game.
Clive actor Ben Starr plays kiss, marry, kill with Final Fantasy characters, and decides to off Cid from Final Fantasy 12.
Ew VO actors and their cringe core. Fiverr voice actors could out perform this chump.
Final Fantasy XVI makes big changes to the series. It has a new approach to combat and a mature story, that makes XII the perfect game to play after.
It's always a good time to play ff12. But more importantly absolutely everybody that has a ps5 should be playing ff16!!
What a game yoshi p and his team have delivered, we can only hope they have been handed the keys to next main line final fantasy and they can go back to back!!
ff12 was the worst ff imo; no character was unique because of the class system, so in cutscenes no character had an assigned weapon; they were all different skins of one another; the game played itself, the main character wasn't the main character and it was just a big eh
Still the last one I really enjoyed.
Series is just all over the place anymore and, while people like the new arpg gameplay, it doesn't do anything for me.
The world is the real star of XII. I didn't care about the character nor the story but the worldbuilding was excellent.
First, the rumor itself. When Final Fantasy XII originally launched in 2006, plenty of players were left disappointed by protagonist Vaan, who many deemed to be dull and apathetic. From this, a rumor sprang forth than companion Basch was originally meant to be the protagonist of Final Fantasy XII, but was switched out of the role at the last minute.
This rumor has gained traction ever since, to the point where multiple outlets have reported it as fact, and Final Fantasy XII’s Wikipedia page (opens in new tab) even mentions it as part of the game's development. Now though, years after the rumor originated, original Final Fantasy XII director and scenario writer Yasumi Matsuno has stepped in to quash the rumor.
I'm still convinced Vaan and Penelo were placed in the game as a last minute decision.
ok that doesnt change the fact that Vaan is the least intresting and biggest waste of a main character in the franchise.
like Penelo and Vaan are literally just there, to be there. any other character has more purpose haha.
The characters and writing for this game, just wasn't good, I have a hard time believing that there wasn't some major changes at some point (do writers just not leave notes for each other if one of them gets sick or leaves?).
It was obvious Vaan was of little importance. His brother or Balthier should've been the MC. They've already told us that Vaan was chosen just so the game can appeal to younger audiences. But well that's square for ya, always trying to appeal to the masses rather than just do what they really want to do and favor core fans.
YES FINALLY! I though I was the only one! For all these years, I thought I was the only one who thought FFXII was the best Final Fantasy.
What I wouldn't give for a FFXII PSVIta Port. Man that would be awesome.
The game has sooooooo much replay value and yes a vita version would be a dream,Such a hard system to master aswell, man this game is so underrated.
This is an okay game, but it's actually the most outdated to me. The reason being, the turn-based FF's are still some of the best turn-based games (seeing as the system has been stagnant for years). But play FFXII then Dragon Age and just wow, so much better.
FFXII had no jobs or combat abilities or anything. It was just auto-attack/gambits..not the most interesting. I feel like FFXIV is just a better FFXII
My favorite FF game. would love an HD version of this.
never played ff12 seen a copy for the ps2 a few weeks ago maybe i should have picked it up.
after reading this i at least want to try the game.
