Not him but neither TA games grabbed me. They're felt like they were made for autistic children with the awful art style and the rules or whatever. FFT is miles ahead.
It's an autobattle simulator, it's fun but not particularly good.
Is this game overrated? I am looking to start a FF game and this seems to be the most praised wherever I look

>the originals combat was just too hecking slow
You could always open the options menu and speed it up even in the original.

>for good reason:
>Many feel that Vaan is a boring/undeveloped main protagonist (while many feel Ashe or Balthier are better).
True
>It is one of the FFs to have no internal romance so a recurring story plot was missing for the 'romantic' gamers
Fujos deserve the rope
>The different battle system is the biggest divider among fans/haters as it was unlike previous game and many disliked how it was possible with the gambits to make it so all you had to do was move and the game did the rest...
This argument is super dead when you realize it's literally impossible to set up a full gamit for every situation in the game. You're either changing it on the fly or issuing manual commands for stuff like weird status effects, elemental weaknesses, using poach for whatever reason, etc. TZA literally acknowledges this by giving you 3 gambit sets per character.
>A unfortunate point is that the story does lose a lot of energy about 3/4 of the way through (about giruvagun)
I hear people say this sometimes, but honestly I don't agree. Also "loses energy" is vague and subjective.
>and the mechanics behind finding current enemies for the bestiary (Larva Eater anyone?) were admittedly a pain
pleb filter. They could always look up a guide if they want.

i am genuinely confused as to where the fuck you are getting this
ff12 is not a bad game by any stretch and it's totally worth a playthrough but i don't think i've ever seen it top someone's favorites list or top a top ff games list anywhere
usually you'll see shit like 5, 6, 7, or 9 show up most frequently. fft or ffcc if you're allowed to include non-numbered ones.

i think vagrant story was retconned wasn't it
also ff14 is set in a greater world that contains ivalice as a (historical) location i believe
Michael Perry
Only IZJS had speed-up options.
see the upper half of that post.
>No but there are some autistic fanboys who overrate it.
Implying only the "fujo" strawman care about interesting character developments implies you're quite the autist indeed.
William Morris
the honest truth is people ride ff12's dick (and I know some of these people) simply because it adopts a more fantasy-focused aesthetic (in this case Ivalice) and shys away from some anime BS in its story and instead uses some political intrigue.
The gameplay is at worst tedious and at best boring.
Alexander Harris
fujos aren't the only people who like romance
not that i think that it belongs in ff12, just speaking as a general matter
Elijah Nelson
I have no idea I never played Vagrant Story just know that it has Ivalice in it, the Ivalice in XIV is actually its own version of it that takes place in that world so technically yes
t. plays the game

There are a lot of shills for this game on Yas Forums lately he's probably talking about them.
