"Who shall be next?"
Final Fantasy XII's a game that seems to be less discussed when it comes to games in the upper echelons of the series mainline games. I think that's a mostly fair way to place this game, as I don't think that it really has much to make it stand out on its own. Final Fantasy XII is a game with a lot of great ideas - some incredibly well executed like the Zodiac Job System and the Gambit system - but its plot feels like it lacks a lot of oomph that some of the more impactful games in the series have in spades. Final Fantasy XII has a lot of what makes a good Final Fantasy in it, but it fails at executing a lot of it. A game ultimately worth playing and still really fun but if the plot doesn't grab your interest - and it probably won't - then I'd keep away from this one if you can't find something to like in the first 2-5 hours.
