Once you get a full party so about 1 to 2 hours in.

Well shit guess I was scammed.

You didn't get scammed.
You just have a bad taste in video games.

Getting full squad, going across the Sandsea is when it gets good. If you don't enjoy the trek to Raithwall's tomb, it's not the game for you.

>Dude what if we made half the playable cast be inconsequential to the story
>Dude what if we made a cast that barely says anything and almost never interacts with each other
>Dude what if we made multiple cutscenes where the main character has no idea what's going on and just stands in the background while people who matter speak
>Dude what if we made a villain who has zero emotional connection to the heroes and doesn't even meet them until the last ten minutes
>Dude what if Star Wars
>Dude what if we gave the narrator a comical Apu accent
>Dude what if we made a political plot and then ruined it by turning it into standard ancient god shenanigans
>Dude what if we made a plot where the heroes have almost no impact on what happens until 95% of the way through the story and spend their time traipsing through non-descript caves and ruins
>Dude what if I'm Captain Basch
>Dude what if we made the sheathing/unsheathing animation stop you before and after every battle
>Dude what if we took everything 100% seriously and had zero levity
>Dude what if we wrote all of the dialogue to sound like a Renaissance Fair
>Dude what if we we had no overworld and all travel was handled by a menu or floating teleport crystals
>Dude what if we made a battle system where you set everything up in advance so that you don't actually play the game
>Dude what if we made summons useless except for opening doors
>Dude what if instead of fun side quests we had only fetch/kill quests like in some generic MMO
>Dude what if instead of having fun side games like the motorcycle chase and Triple Triad we had nothing
>Dude what if we had really shitty music

Basically all of this.
The game clearly had a very chaotic development process and lots of random elements got thrown together at the last minute.

I haven't touched this game for over a year. Should I finish it? I think I am at the end of the game (I have access to the hidden boss with lots of HP). I also have those invisible bows so I'm thinking about skipping all the sidequest shit and just bulldoze through the game.

>When does it get good?
When you equip everyone with daggers/bows, shields, and light armor for that speed damage boost and quick MP regain
Then the game goes full auto mode at that point

Hope you're playing Zodiac Age to avoid this shit or else its what you'll be doing

I finished TZA yesterday and I can tell you it never really gets particularly good, bottom 3 FF games with XV and VIII

>world setting and art are quite good and fairly unique
>OST is great
>progression system, level design, combat and gameplay in general are awful
>story is good until half of the game

It’s common knowledge this game is fucking ass. You must of listened to trolls. If you want a good FF play FFX

You should finish it, if only because the final "dungeon" is two rooms and three easy bosses, you can do it in 20 mins and the ending is quite nice

it's always good
I really love the way her suit fits to her body

I am convinced people who defend and champion 12 are just hardcore contrarians. It's a dull drag and the entire world is brown and bland.

>Get good

HAHAHAHAHAHA OH MAN

>this same copypasta "argument" that gets debunked every FFXII thread

It's all so tiresome.

I played through all of FF12 and was rather disappointed.
It's not that it was bad, it's just that it was... very not special. People hyped it up so much, and then the game basically didn't have a single "big" moment. It was just "average" from start to finish. Never peaking. Never dropping. It was as cookie cutter as it gets. You can't hate it because there's nothing bad about it, but at the same time I don't see how it deserves all the praise it gets, because there's also nothing outstanding about it.

How is Revenant Wings?

>actually replying to a copypasta
That's like yelling at a turd for being left wing.

Except for the soundtrack, I agree with everything in this pasta. Gambits could have been great if they gave more creative freedom, like spaces and options.

Pretty ok if you like srpg's. It actually has a story and characters worth a damn, basically what FFXII's story should have been.

The best fights are the espers and endgame hunts. Until then, the game is too easy, especially the Zodiac Age version.

it's ok
filo is cute as fuck though

Yep, it's boring as hell.

It never does. Even the ending it never does and sucks.

If you don't like it by the time you get Ashe, the game isn't for you.

What is it about 12 that attracts so much shitposting compared to the other ff games?

It literally has worse plot and gameplay than 8 but it makes a particular type of autist feel sophisticated because the plot is some vague nonsense about politics where the protagonists don't do anything important

Once you realize the Gambit system is basically a second layer of equipment for AI.

And that the main story is just a sidequest that helps you unlock the more chapters in the main game: the Hunter Guild.

the plot boils down to a small group of 5 or 6 aliens control everything and have been lying to you since the beginning of the game, only one alien is good but the alien is literally Lucifer, your team says FUCK ALIEN SCUM and defeat the not so bad guy basically dooming the universe your in
auto mode game with nice visuals for the time using an outdated MMORPG's combat system
That's right, the devs were so fucking lazy that they copy pasted FFXI combat system into FFXII
Cherry on top is that its a world of multiple races of creatures but your party is 5 humans and 1 human with bunny ears
