Another game is crossed of the list. FFXII has now fallen. I had quite low expectations for the game before I started, but it surprised me several times and kept me interested enough to see it through to the end. That said it is still one of the worst in the series as far as I'm concerned. The battle system did grow on me a bit after getting a full party, but it was still pretty lame. And the LP system basically meant that all of my characters were identical. Going into the last fight I could have swapped any of my main 3 characters equipment, spells, mist abilities, summons and would have never noticed a difference.

While it was nice that all 3 characters had access to a full range of White/Black/Time/Green magic it would have been even nicer to have a little variety. Why would you play through this again with a different team since they will end up identical yet again? I found the optional quests such as hunts very unneccessary. I did the first 3 and then decided it wasnt worth the effort.

Glad its crossed of my list, but its not something I would recommend to most people.

Onto FFVIII now!!
