I think most of the PS1 and PS2 era FF games have aged well, but 12 particularly so. So ahead of its time.This games ages like wine for me. And since the Zodiac release its my number one FF ever.
I like the world, characters, narrative and VA and the OST is severely underrated. The gameplay I find excellent. Micromanaging your party, seeing your settings play out as you envisioned. And some manual management inbetween. But you can play it full manual too.
I like how you can opt to AI battle low level trash mob instead of having to constantly mash them manually.
Its however a misconception that this game reviewed medicore. It didn't. I believe Famitsu gave it a 10, and Edge a 9 or 10 as well. But many praised it. It sits on a high average. And this was about the inferior vanilla PS2 edition. Square should've built on this one and not regress so much with the retarded FFXIII.
Kinda the same with meMy second-favorite FF! Specifically the Zodiac Age version of the game.

Haha exactly the same for me. When he was on ps2 i hated it because it was so different of ffx that i loved. But through the years and several playthrough it became my favorite ff with ff5. Wonderful world, music, and very enjoyable gameplay.Every single time I play FFXII, it climbs the ranks of my Final Fantasy list.
One or two more playthroughs and it should be up there with VII and X, it's fucking crazy.

Zodiac Age version already practically feels like a brand new game. I’d really rather they make a new game but use/expand upon the gambit system.I wonder if there will be a remake
One of my absolute favorite final fantasy games!Last week I was looking for something to watch and long story short ended up watching a 6 hour movie version of FF12
Never played it when it came out, was one I just skipped over. Boy do I regret that now.
Found the characters, story, music and dialogue to be great. The character models look so good and still look great 17 years later.
Obviously cant comment on the battle system so not sure how well that aged but glad to see staff who worked on this are on FF16.
I'm not too upset at Yoshi P. FFXIV is still the best thing to happen to the series in 20 years, since FFXII. I'm willing to give him another shot, but please make it an RPG. They're trying too hard to appeal to Americans with 16.Too bad Nomura turned FF into Kingdom Hearts, Yoshi P turned FF into Game of Thrones May Cry and that other weaboo turned FF into a dumb game about his dumb waifu (Lightning)
FF12 was at least very fun to play. Exploration was fantastic, combat was interesting (but flawed) and there was so much stuff to do.
The story, villain and protagonists were lame though.
To be fair, both Nomura and Toriyama were banging their waifu simultaneously.that other weaboo turned FF into a dumb game about his dumb waifu (Lightning)
The funny thing is that other JRPG developers are (mostly) keeping their games as "japanese" as they can, and doing pretty well (e.g. Pokemon, Persona)They're trying too hard to appeal to Americans with 16.
Oh well, he wrote this game didn't he?To be fair, both Nomura and Toriyama were banging their waifu simultaneously.
Is that Bahamut Lagoon? If so, then yes.The funny thing is that other JRPG developers are (mostly) keeping their games as "japanese" as they can, and doing pretty well (e.g. Pokemon, Persona)
I fear for Dragon Quest 12 though.

You're probably right that there is no main thinking back to the story.Do people really think Vann is the main character? He and Penelo open the story but this game I can say really has no main character, that was at least a first for me in an rpg. It really is the story of the entire cast together. I can't point out one character story that takes precedence over any other characters. Not even the Princess. I think it works very well.

Dragon Age Origins copied the systemand the Gambit system allowing you to program the exact behavior of your party members under various conditions is a super neat feature that I've sadly never seen reused in any game ever since.

One thing that annoys me with the Zodiac version is that it took off the original intro montage.
I really liked that. I will have to find an HD version of it to play on my PC.
Here it is:
Good question. I would need to think about it. But definitely above FF7.The real question is how low on your list is FFVIII?
