My second attempt at finishing this game since it came out on the PS2 and the same issues that plagued my experience beforehand continue to resonate. The combat is too similar to that of an MMO, although not having random battle encounters is appreciated. The liscense system, whilst serviceable, is cumbersome and uninteresting. The structure of FF12 quickly gets old once you realize its essentially a dungeon crawler. Neither the story and its cast are strong enough to overcome these massive blemishes. A low for the stellar franchise
