While it could be bearable in the corridor type ffx, here it's really jarring with the open design and such.
I love Rabanastre but navigating through it is made a chore by this. It was nearly unbearable with disc loading, better but still annoying with HD loader / emulator.

It's glorious in PCSX2
A real showpiece on PCSX2 as well.
I don't know why Square hasn't announced an HD remaster yet. It doesn't even need all the enhancements Type-0 got. Just the base graphics in 1080p would be fine as long as it get's the same work put into it FFX got. Seeing all the 2D HUD assets redone and the textures touched-up would be simply amazing.
One question: What game would Square bundle it with? Square hasn't been able to ask $40 for a single eight-year-old game. Type-0 is a much more recent game with a lot more enhancements so I'm not sure that counts. The only other game I could think of going in the package would be Tactics. Technically HD assets already exist for Tactics since Square did the tablet version.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I would insta-buy a PS4 the moment they announce this remake/remaster.
One of my favourite games ever. Everything in the game just clicks.

The cutscene models were so good for the time too. Ashe's hands put Lightning potato fingers to shame.
Hahahahah Lightning's nose probably has more polygons than both her arms combined.
Does anyone knows how FFX HD has sold on Ps4? That would be a good indicator to see if we are getting FFXII remastered.
I really didn't mind Vaan at all - in fact, I appreciated the idea of playing as the guy who's just along for the ride. To me it was very refreshing at the time, having just come off a binge of FFVII - X which all featured main characters who had dramatic romances and were heavily involved with saving the world. I can understand why fans of the series might be discouraged by the sudden shift though, and Vaan's character certainly wouldn't appeal to everyone (especially when other members of the cast are so badass).
Penelo was also a vast improvement over her equivalents in the previous games, I thought. Much more tolerable than Yuffie, Selphie and Rikku. Can't speak for FFXIII as everything about it seemed so off-putting I haven't even tried it yet.
Another thing: even now on a second playthrough, trying to pay more attention to the story this time, I find myself forgetting what's going on. I think this is a testament to how much fun the exploration and combat is: it's so tempting to go off on hunts and experiment with Gambits. That said, I also suspect that the story is indeed forgettable, as I barely remembered anything from the first playthrough. Still my favourite FF though.
It doesn't really "fall apart." There are complete, consistent, and satisfying storylines for Basch and Ashe (the two main characters) across the entire game.
The pace of the narrative slows down a lot, though. There's far more meat on FFXII's bones than there are on any other non-MMO numbered Final Fantasy. I don't know why this means it falls apart, though. If anything, the "falls apart" portion of FFXII is thematically far more consistent with Final Fantasy than anything in the first portion of the game.
I would marry this game if I could.

Just for kicks...
Fantastic art direction + extremely meticulous polygon usage and texturing. Optimizing the hell out of PS2 limitations.
It doesn't really rhyme tho! It's like "bah-sh" or maybe "bosche" and "Ash".
I WANT TEN COPIES OF THIS GAME NAO

i really want to finish this game but the story is just so bad.
Balthier is still one of my favorite characters of all time.
The story is bad?
Every game that takes place on Ivalice has an awesome story or why you say that FFXII has a bad story?
It can be a little tricky but... man, the characters, the side-quests, those maps... and the music! that glorious OST
Did it really sell that poorly that it won't get a remaster? I want to play it.

story-wise or in combat? or both?
noticed you left out Vaan's abs
I don't understand how the game looks so good but Vaan's texture is so bad.
Keep in mind that Squeenix was years behind on the HD remaster bandwagon-
