How did this game manage to become so good after the terrible movie game that was FFX? This game feels like a miracle sandwiched between FFX and XIII, two linear turds

They yoinked the RTw/P system from BioWare, and tossed in modular AI.

Yeah Ondore, no one believes your shit here, not in 2006, not in 2020.
Dominic Perez
Because Ivalice is the best world FF ever had.

honestly this

They didn't go from 10 to 12, though. It's almost like there is a missing number there, a game which the developers of 12 learnt a good deal from and were able to apply that knowledge to use in single player orientated gameplay.
>Bioware invented real time
u fucken wot. There's no similarity and absolutley no influence there.
Elijah Flores
I doubt it was meant to be a mainline FF game, given that it borrows so much from Tactics. Up until 12, there was an unwritten rule that none of the games would bear any connection to other games outside of stuff like returning enemy types.
Luke Kelly
It didn't. it was worse than X in every way, and played itself. Don't know how you can call ffx a movie game when ff12 literally tells you to not touch the game through gambits.
Henry Ward
Gambits were an option. It was there to ease the burden of RTWP.
Jack Howard
Just a reminder, if you love FFXII and aren't playing FFXIV, you're doing it wrong.
Dominic Peterson
I don't know anyone who enjoyed 12 is it just a contrarian Zig Forums meme?
Dylan Wood
Based on...?
Wait is that XV over Tactics? Type-0 over anything?
Cooper Myers
Sakaguchi himself appointed Matsuno as the director of FFXII because he loved Vagrant Story so much it made him cry.
He praised Matsuno so much during the FFXII reveal that there were rumors floating around that Sakaguchi was a homosexual
>Sakaguchi: That's true. The last event I participated in was the reveal for FFXII. I mentioned my love for Matsuno (Yasumi Matsuno, creator of numerous popular games including the Ogre Battle series. Supervised the production of FFXII) at the event, and there were all sorts of rumors flying around afterwards. (laughs)

Unwritten rules doesn't mean much to Sakaguchi, especially since he was Matsuno's biggest fan at Square.
Jaxon Cruz
What? I see people praising this game every day on Zig Forums and /vrpg/ as one of the all-time greats of the series
Ryan Adams
fuck you and fuck your retarded ranking for retards
Owen Butler
lmao cope

> XIII over XIII-2
Shit bait
Colton Rodriguez
>specially since he was Matsuno's biggest fan at Square.
Not anymore.
Eli Robinson
>were an option
a literally required option for later portions of the game.
Nathaniel Williams
>FF13 above 12

no way--the major contention-point of the game for many folks on Zig Forums was the combat system, which was a big departure from earlier titles & was sorta flawed in some ways ("magic lag", camera being unwieldy at times). in light of that, it was a lot of fun to play--great narrative & dialogue, memorable characters (even the most annoying character--Vaan--is appreciably nuanced and fits surprisingly well into the overall narrative), and has a lot of soul.
Connor Nelson
Who in their right mind would put Crystal Chronicles or Crisis Core over 10-2

>Sakaguchi is a huge fan of Matsuno, made some of the best games at Square
>Naoki Yoshida is a huge fan of Matsuno, saved the brand with FFXIV
>last time someone mentioned Yoshinari Kitase was Sakaguchi saying he was a bad producer
Couldn't make this shit up if I tried
Kevin Green
Is it okay for me to hope XVI is another Ivalice game? Make it happen Yoshi.
Camden White
Without counting sequels or prequels, this is pretty spot on
Charles Gomez
Tactics A3 when?
Xavier Torres
>great narrative and fun to play
sure do love wandering around gigantic empty deserts with nothing to do.
Joshua Watson
because it colored outside the lines for mainline final fantasy games
FFXII is the "least" final fantasy game in the entire mainline series, and that's why it's so good
Matthew Brown
>10. FFXV
>11.FF Tactics
What kind of fucking shit is this?
