Final Fantasy XII (Collector's Edition) (PlayStation 2, 2006)

I love it, I got drawn in instantly. Beautiful game on the PS2. Yes next gen games will make it look less amazing, but top notch for the ps2. Love the new move away from random battles, and with the Libra tecknick, you can gadge if you should fight or run past creatures. The new system takes some getting used to, but once you do, like with any FF game, it is smooth as silk. The fighting is great, the magic is cool, summons are a little different, not as useful as other FF games, and the quickenings are cool, once you know you have to chain them, to do any real damage. The gambits are great, once you get them all. Some Weapons are just too hard to get all the items to make in the bazzarr system. If you buy this game, get the gamers guidebook, or lookup the bazzar items on the internet, there is so much to unlock, be ready to spend over 100 hours of your life following the best story in any RPG in the past year. Of course the story is great it's a Final Fantasy, character development has always been a strongpoint for the series. The additional dvd of the history of FF is a great addition to the game. Please rate this reveiw, Thanks.
