Final Fantasy XII Nla

"Discover the secret that will unravel an empire" I honestly feel like many people are too caught in the "typical" Final Fantasy Formula that came before FFXII was released. This is probably one of the BEST games in the series, alongside 10, 9 and 7! Here's why I feel this way: BATTLE SYSTEM: This is one of the things that drew me to the game once I learned about what it would be featuring. I love that the enemies roam free and you can choose to engage in battle or find strategic ways to avoid them. Sure, it gets frustrating when large groups of enemies swarm you but you know what, that's what I love about Final Fantasy: you had those heart stopping moments where you were like "Oh my god, I'm going to die!"...but then later, you say "Hey, maybe if I leveled up more, I could handle that!" and then you change tactics. It's ALL about critical thinking! PLOT: This is my FAVORITE plot in the series: it's rich, dynamic and engaging to me. It was full of twists and turns and to me, I love how the game really created a "history" and got you to appreciate just why the main characters were so determined to change the course of history, for the better. I'm a big fan of history so that got me! CHARACTERS: There is such an interesting dynamic of characters that it's hard not to love at least one. You have the young and spirited Vaan and Penelo, both of whom mature through the game to be fierce warriors (depending on how you raise them). Then you've got the sarcastic but charming Balthier who is my favorite character and then Fran, who to me, was a force to be reckoned with. Toss in the strong willed Princess Ashe who to me, was one of the strongest female characters aside from Lightning in FF13, and Basch who was a formidable fighter and you have a great set of characters who honestly have taught each other something along the journey! LICENSE BOARD: My FAVORITE thing about the game! This was, to me, a great addition to the series as was the Sphere Grid in Final Fantasy X. The fact that YOU had free reign over where and how your characters grew was great and also I loved how that choice could have pro's and con's. Example: If you gave your characters HEAVY ARMOR which mostly consisted of metal, during the fight with Vinuskar, your characters speed drastically is cut. This forces you to think of a different way to fight. It was just amazing to be able to control what the characters learned, wore, etc rather than the game dictate it for you. SUMMONING: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how much fun was it to acquire the Espers! Seriously, fighting them first made me love it and appreciate it (a tactic the creators used in FF13). And then the hidden Espers...AMAZING! SIDE QUESTS/ETC: This game has PLENTY for you to do and yes, it may require you to go back and forth but some of the rewards are truly worth the effort. Also, the Side Bosses are FUN and CHALLENGING, which to me, made the game even better.

Having never played an RPG before, I had no idea what to expect. Fortunately, this game is very modern, sophisticated, and plays similarly to an action/adventure game. Think of it as Lord of the Rings mixed with Star Wars. The main character is Vaan, a likable street kid looking for some excitement, and not too concerned with whether it's legal or not. While on one of his misadventures, he meets a couple of sky pirates, and hooks up with the deposed princess of the kingdom as well. You see, the kingdom has recently been overthrown by an evil empire, and as the story progresses, you and the rest of your party go on a quest to discover how the princess may overthrow the empire and retake her throne. The characters and dialog are truly better than those in most movies, and probably the best I've ever seen in a video game. The story is quite interesting, though considering it took me 92 hours to finish the game, it can get a bit hard to keep track of - various plot points may be separated by 10 or 20 hours of gameplay, and it's easy to forget some of the intricacies. You'll spend most of your time traveling through a huge variety of different areas, trying to get to your destination, while encountering numerous foes standing in your way. The battle system is based on a sort of programming scheme - your basic command for your characters is to attack the nearest foe, and from there you expand upon it by having members of your party automatically cast healing spells when needed, or attack using various types of magic instead of weapons, etc. etc. etc. It's a somewhat complex system, as deciding what your party members should do requires a lot of strategy, and as you progress through the game you'll figure out what works well and what doesn't. This stuff is a large part of the fun of the game, as you're always encountering new situations that require you to modify your instructions for your characters. You can't just rely on these commands to get you through every battle though, you'll need to keep a close eye on every situation and take a more hands-on approach for the tougher battles. As I said, there are a huge variety of environments, and a large number of sub-quests you go on in order to eventually accomplish the main quest. After playing for 92 hours, I never got bored once. The graphics are simply spectacular - there's a gigantic battle near the end that's simply breathtaking - I felt like I was watching a Star Wars movie. If you've got an HDTV, I'd definitely recommend getting the component cables for your PS2 and hooking it up. Overall, if you like action / adventure games and are a bit tired of the usual button mashing you get with hack 'n' slash games, I'd recommend this game highly. It's definitely one of the top 5 PS2 games I've ever played.

Was in excellent condition But one day delivery took four days

Esse jogo é um absurdo

Das Spiel kam sogar vor dem angegeben Lieferdatum an und es gab keine Maengel vorzufinden. Mehr braucht man nicht zur Bewertung.

Tenia miedo que por ser producto usado estuviera en malas condiciones, pero la verdad cumplio mis expectativas de un producto de segunda mano, no he jugado el titulo lo pedí para mi colección de videojuegos.
