Don't care. It's fun
Why did fans at the time trash this game when it is unironically one of the best Final Fantasy titles out there...
I agree, Final Fantasy Tactics sucked.
political stories just aren't exciting in a FF setting
its just not that good and the people who liked it are disproportionately the kind who hated FF to begin with and are incredibly annoying in every fucking FF thread
Serves them right then that battle system will never ever be used again
you make it sound like them not using it was some grand discovery considering the abomination that was 13's battle system
Ramza is probably my fav FF protag of all time
I'm not sure what you have against FFT but this just goes to show that FFXII fags are completely insufferable
As someone who loved X and played XII at it's release
>meh story
>forgettable main character
>combat system was pretty controversial at the time
>obnoxiously long dungeons
Also didn't help that the next console generation was right around the corner, and people were getting hyped for XIII instead. In reality, XII ended up being one of the best FF games to ever come out, we just didn't realize it at the time. The combat system is genius and really should have been the model moving forward. We took a massive step back with the combat in XIII and XV.
The story in XII is still pretty meh, but the characters are likeable and the overall worldbuilding is great. The Zodiac versions that just came out are fantastic and once again set a golden standard for future FF titles. A shame Square Enix will probably never return to this style of game.
DON'T BELIEVE HIS LIES
Its because pretty much all the things you said also apply to FFT, except for the thing about the battle system.
Vaan.
OLD GOOD.
NEW BAD.
