Final Fantasy XII - WHAT I HATE By Riku
Since this website provides a smaller amount of available characters in-post, I have posted the Review on an Invisionfree Forum that I run with two of my best friends.
Firstly -
This is in NO WAY a means to advertise my website. I can not STRESS enough that I mean NO harm by posting a link to my personal Forum.
STICK TO FUNENDER PEOPLE! It can offer MUCH more than any Forum out there.
----
For what matters, I must add that the Review is quite satirical and I do not mean to insult anyone in the process. Further advisement can be found in the following link attached to the Review itself.
It is meant simply as a PARODY with sensical points and remarks.
To read the Review, click HERE.
PS: I can not stress enough that I DO NOT MEAN TO ADVERTISE. I've already been warned once for missbehavior and I do not wish to be missunderstood as to be Warned once again.

Your review is very...errr....colorful. I have to agree with you through most of it though, it just isn't a very well made game, period.

*nod nod* Very badly executed. Final Fantasy XII is just FAIL on a jar.
And...what do you mean by colourful? o_o

You know, the language, very colorful. lol
There was a disclaimer though, so I can't complain.

Haha, quite. Oh well. The Review was intentionally made to be dissagreed with. Start an argument that'd lead people to realise the true aspect of the game. Nobody ever bothers REALLy saying how stuff is like in the game, and for that reason a lot of people still think it's a good instalment to the Final Fantasy series.

You know, I'm not going to comment the content of your review.
I will say, however, that this once again proves the fact that the only true reviewer you can trust... is yourself.
It's all a matter of opinion and experience of the game.

If people enjoy playing FFXII, then it is a good instalment of the series.

No, not at all. When something is bad, it's bad. Point of view has nothing to do with it. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is not a fact, it's a very flowery opinion made up by physically unfortunate people to feel better. If the game is bad, it's bad, and no "beholder" is going to magically make it look good, when it clearly is not. You are right that you can only trust yourself as a reviewer, but fact remains that -I- provided reasons for why the game thoroughly Phails, whereas you... can not prove my points wrong. Period. I rest my case.

Once again, no. Not at all. If people enjoy playing FFXII then they either don't have anything else to enjoy, or they preffer one kind of RPG that is NOT natural to the actual series.

Riku... you cannot put it like that. Because that would only prove you think your word is a rule, a thing we should all accept as a fact.
Your "reasons" are YOUR opinions and not a fact to others. You can say you dislike the game or that it sucks, but it's still only your opinion. Why do you think all the reviews found on the internet and in magazines sometimes are vastly different? Because people have different ideas of what is good and what is bad... some reviewers even say "I always hate when a game does this or that" and that is a personal approach on the matter.

No no no, you missunderstand me. I do understand your point, but what I said was that I -Provided- evidence to why the game would hypothetically suck, whereas you did not provide any evidence that what I said was effectively wrong. I couldn't care less what other people think or not about the game. All that matters to me is I hate it, and, -AS STATED IN THE REVIEW MORE THAN ONCE- the whole bit was comical, satirical, meant for people who have the mental maturity to be able to laugh at their own preferences. I do not mean to impose my ideas as rule whatsoever, and I stated it in the review in itself. The person speaking in that review is a character, and if you've read through the Review, as one would normally do, you would see that I admited that, and I quote: "Some parts of the review are exagerated for comical purposes and should not be taken seriously", but, alas, the fact STILL remains that me/the character provided substancial evidence of the game's flaws, and by all means, if you can prove me wrong about any of the points that I have made in the Review, I want to hear them. Very much so.

It appears we misunderstood each other, then. I never talked about your review, I didn't even comment on it in the first place. However, you gave me a reason to respond, when you said this;

There is no such thing as "If a thing is bad, it's bad." To you, it may be bad. To others, it may be good. That is a personal opinion!
To you, the game sucks. Yes, and I respect that. But to many, many others it is a great game.
You can provide all the evidence you want, but it'll always be your view on features in the game. Features, which other people have either praised or hated, like you did. So why should I even bother prove you wrong on your personal opinion? I know what I think about the game, you know what you think about it. Let's stick to that.

its true that FFXII has it flaws but im with cimmy on this...im not going to read the review since i played the game and i know what i like and what i dont, i can review it for myself and dont need other ppls opinions...however i cant agree with what you said either....
the "If a thing is bad, it's bad." ...thats not true....i will agree to that if you point me to an official objective statement of what is bad that everyone agrees with and how it applies on the game...things like good or bad are matters of a subject not object therefore that statement is not true
i personaly enjoyed the game...tho the licence board sucks big time...but overal its not THAT bad...you cant have all FFs the same, they have to evolve, change...i played the very first ff games too and tbh im really glad they started changing because having the same system over and over becomes repetitive and kinda boring...

I liked the game. I don't want to f*cking overanalyse every game I play. It was by no means the best FF game, I won't claim that. But Cim is right. If people enjoy it it's a good game.

XD lol watch your language  but yeah there is no need to bash the game so much and try to convince other ppl that you are right when everyone can form his/her own opinion wether they like it or not

To be honest, I miss the turn based battle system. It worked, and there was really no reason to change it.
This new battle system actually made me bored, as there was a limited amount of monsters in the area, and a few super ones in every area that you wouldn't be able to kill for a long while.
The game is just too dis balanced, and leveling, thanks to the new battle system, is freaking boring. And as we have covered, the license board sucks, a lot.
The fact that the game can fight your battles for you gives you even less reason to play the game. When you can turn on gambits for everybody, you the end up having to do nothing in the face of battle. When the computer can do everything for me, why would I want to do anything? Basically, challenge ceases to exist in many parts of the game.
The game in general was a good idea, but in my opinion was very poorly executed. You could hand me FF I - FF X (not including the side games, ex: Crisis Core), and I would stay interested until the end. Hand me FF XII, and I may stay interested for about 10 minutes at a time.
In conclusion, I don't like it, and never will.
