I wish more games let me buzz through the nonsense to get to the good stuff-in this case, a combat system that allows for a ton of experimentation and whole deserts full of T-Rexes to test it on.īasically what I'm saying is don't play Final Fantasy 12 if you want to be able to enjoy other games. The fast-forward command in Zodiac Age is a blessing too. That would be dumb, probably, but the point is I’m free to make my own bizarre mistakes and break the game in cool new ways. I can develop a team of four attack mages if I want.
I can arm Vaan with a greatsword and watch him get pummeled forever on the front line of every fight. I love RPGs that allow any character to become anything you want. That’s the main reason I persisted long enough to properly engage with the gambit system and, oh boy, it’s a beauty. What do you mean Vaan is an earnest, irritating child and the plot makes no sense-have you met Tidus from Final Fantasy 10? I’ve never really been into Final Fantasy for the plot anyway I’m in it for the spectacle, and I love Final Fantasy 12’s world and the weird band of heroes you assemble. Tom S: The best Final Fantasy, obviously.
