Should i play ff12

User Info: Kefka Kefka 7 years ago 1 As the question states What game should i play as a FF 12 first timer, the original or the zodiac job system version?

Necrohol recommended level? How did the Japanese voices handle the different regional accents of Ivalice? Side Quest. How do I get past The gate of Scorpio? Main Quest. Should i sell all the loot? I don't know. Steam usually gets a port after other systems get ports, so Scheneighnay View Profile View Posts. Originally posted by Scheneighnay :. Last edited by MorningLightMountain ; 22 May, pm.

And if it's anything of the scale that this was, it's not going to be announced and then out within a few months. I'd say 18 months is the minimum. Unless you have something else that you want to play before the release then playing the original is a good idea. Playing the PS2 version until the new release is available will give you enough information that you will know which one you prefer when you get the new release.

I went into the PS2 release with low expectations and really enjoyed the game. I enjoyed it enough that I am likely to get the new release when it is available. So you know, if you want more opinions it would be a good idea to ask on the board for the new release where more people will see your question.

The boards are much better for recommendations than the answers section because the boards get many more visitors and offer better feedback options. There is room for more backstory and maturity. The game is huge and dense, plenty to explore and discover!

Still the setting was perfect. I agree with the fact that more grown-ups characters should start populating JRPGs as well. This I definiety agree with, even the earlier Final Fantasy titles used to have main characters that were mid-twenties and older. Now they all seem to be teenagers.

Thanks for the great comment! I played most of it. I ended up being really disappointed. The supposed main character seems to be a side character for whatever reason as the game progressed—which sort of bothered me as the game initially started rather strong. I love Basch, Balthier, and Penelo if I spelled that right… , but was never able to finish the game because I lost interest in the storyline.

I sort of felt distant from the characters, like Vann and Penelo were just non-speaking 3rd party characters you ran around as like one of the class characters you bought from a shop in Tatics, only that class character was somehow you, and the story was going on whether you were there or not.

I did like how the world was so vast. But the side quests were very fun. Overall, I think the game had a lot of potential. I just thought it felt somewhat unfinished, as though they could have done more with it. I agree with most of what you said. Just some thoughts? I heard about Basch being written as the main character originally. Know what though?

He became more relatable to me as the story went on, I think his role as an observer made you feel like you were really there. At all. No other game comes close to standing the test of time and I grew up on FF and loved every one. But 7 8 and 10 in particular are only saved by nostalgia some scenes are just so saccharine to me now, and almost kinda cringe worthy in their melodrama.
