The Official Final Fantasy XII Thread

[Avalanche]

Well then read through the thread and see everyone elses opinions, which pretty much echo what he said. One of the best Final fantasy games.

 

[Havok83]

Ugh! I just started a new job yesterday just as I started playing FF, so I'll only really get to play on the weekends

Out of all people on this board, your opinion is probably the least valid to me, CrypticOne.

Ouch, that's kind of mean.

 

[CrypticOne]

Ouch, that's kind of mean.

LOL. Yeah, that was kind of mean.

I need some help. I'm currently in the Tomb of Roliath or something like that and can't pass the second wall that is closing in on me. Does anyone have any tips?

I'm not wasting my time doing that. It's more fun to insult challenged kids anyway.

If you beat the first one the second one shouldn't be a problem. Make sure your guys are free of the status effects (gambits help big time), and just beat the **** out of it.

Thanks!

I only fought this battle once and I got whooped. It's that grass dragon in the woods. Right when you get through the barrier after finding Fran's sister. It seems impossible, but I think I should just level up some more. Anyone else up to or past that yet, because it's hard as hell.

I lost the first time. Mainly, it's an endurance battle. Esuna is a must have though. Gambit that, take out the henchmen first as usual, then focus your attacks on the dragon. It's probably not good to use your quickenings since you really need all your MP for this one.

****ed up right analog view. Anyone else have this problem? Pushing left makes it go clockwise(right) and counterclockwise(left)?

Yeah, and after 2 minutes I got used to it.

That's the way I play FPS games. I can't stand the reversed stuff.

 

[Mr. Credible]

i am loving this game the more i play it. every time i get a new gambit or technick or quickening (especially) or magic spell the combat gets that much funner. i think it's got the best combat engine of any final fantasy game i've played, if not better than any rpg i've played. i'm still on the fence about the liscence board though. it's tough to get the hang of, and you end up buying a lot of useless crap that you'll only use once (if that) to get to the good stuff. and it's hard to have everyone balanced when you're all going in opposite directions, know what i mean? my Balthier can't even use any accessories yet, because he's moving left on the board.

grr.... okay, that's my rant. still one of my favorite final fantasy's so far, though.

 

[Iceman]

I like the sound of the new combat system from what I've read. I know there are mixed views but it seems more realistic if it's integrated into the gameplay.

I felt like I was wasting points too earlier on, but later you start to get so many LP you don't know what to do with them, so don't worry about it.

I heard that if you switch the battle mode to active, and play with the speed all the way up the game becomes almost totally different. I'm going to try it when I get home.

Yeah, I just beat it on my second try. So far the boss battles have been a lot of fun. A lot of strategy has to go into a battle if you want to come out victorious and it's pretty cool. I love the gambit system. This particular battle took my almost 30 min.

 

[Speedball]

Wow...
I just got to the tomb of Raithwall. This game has some of the best boss battles ever. I made the Avion boss run away. HAHAHAHA!!! He took out my entire party with only little bit of health left. So I took out the three in reserve and pwned him.
And the Wall boss was pretty fun and suspenseful.

The boss battles get better. Wait till you get in the forest. And the story gets really juicy after that.

 

[Substance D]

So I basically just use my reserves for when I have to backtrack for hunts. If you equip them with your best gear, they're pretty much just as powerful as your main three.

 

[War Party]

Who are your main three? I use Vaan, Basch, and Ash.

 

[Speedball]

Mine are Vaan, Fran and Ashe.
I've got Vaan using swords and shields, Fran using Bows, and Ashe using poles.
Fran's my support person, who stays out of the battle and just heals, uses magic or shoots.

 

[Substance D]

This game just isn't as interesting without Fran in your party . I make her my leader so I can stare at her fine Viera booty as she runs.

But anyways, I use Basch, Ashe and Fran. Basch and Ashe are my fighters, Fran my main healer. I plan on keeping Basch with sword and shield, and I'm going to give Ashe a katana. I want to find a good gun for Fran.

If I ever start a new game, I'm going to make Fran a melee fighter. She just looks cool with a sword. Her limit breaks are sexy too. I like Ashe's limit breaks too. They're pretty. t:

 

[Speedball]

I like how they allowed the Characters to use many different types of weapons. It ups the replay value. When I beat the game, I'm gonna start a new one and have Vaan use poles, Penelo use guns, Fran use greatswords, Basch use bows, and Balthier use daggers.

I want to make Basch the panzy healer, Penelo the badass fighter, and Vaan a black mage.

Just bought the game....I also bought Marvel Ultimate Alliance and FF7 Dirge of Cerberus.....soit might be a while before I get a chance to play FF12.
