Final Fantasy XII

Most maps use the same designs over and over again relentlessly, making it impossible to learn your bearings. Instead, you must look at a map to see where you are, often times learning that you are indeed going the wrong fucking way >_>]

[The battle system is not very enjoyable, though I did adjust to it a bit. The characters were...well, there were a few good characters. I hated most of them, even having urges to punch a chosen few in the face for being such lame characters {coughvaancough} I tend to think Vaan was AT LEAST bisexual, and his little friend to be extremely annoying. At least the game had Basch and Balthier, both of whom were one of few reasons to continue playing the game, their dialogue very enjoyable. The plot wasn't bad, but it wasn't terrific either. The side quests were mostly fun, but the summons were quite lame in appearance and in worth. To top it all off, running from enemies that are much stronger than you is a race against the clock. I can still hear the mission impossible theme now >_>]This^^

[It would be apparent to most that have read this that I do not hold this game in high regards. Indeed, as I rate this game a 2/10. I was disappointed in many ways with this title, and hope that Enix does better with XIII, which looks EXTREMELY promising. Anyway, my bitter thoughts on this bitter game]
