  • @mralanv, I totally agree with you on it being one of the best produced. I loved it, and had a ton of fun with that game. I also loved the story line, it rekindled me to when I was playing FF7 with the same emotions I was feeling and the in depth storyline.

  • wow the graphics can even surpass ps3 ones

  • Damn goosebumps won't go away! :)

  • Anyway, I love Balthier and Basch! And is it just me, or Larsa and Fran and some others talk differently?

  • This game sucked me in bad :( Balthier rules by the way.

  • This is the only Final Fantasy i'll ever play. I just grew attached to the characters. Damn it! I cried when I beat the game. Damn. I need help.. Haha. I wish it were longer.

  • final fantasy 12 was different, which is nice but i feel that story was like the 1600's except they had the latest technology and all that, which was kinda weird, but it became more interesting when they start to talk about nethicite, that was pretty kool.

  • yea the beginning of the game is great but then it becomes so boring and so childish i dont even care anymore whats going on

  • the prob is: FFXII never seemed to click. and that's it. although I liked playing FFX way more, the story in FFXII is cool, characters are cool, too - there is nothing wrong with this game. but like I said: it didn't click.

  • @MegaKrysth10 Huh, for me it really did click but number X never did. Though I actually started with XII so it's almost natural to prefer it.

  • Arghh this game is kinda hard, you gotta level up a lot, but the story is nice, and gameplay too. And why everyone uses Basch to fight? lol

  • @MetalMaidenEurope the reason why they use basch to fight a lot because once you get him into the higher levels and you give him the zodiac spear,

    he can constantly do 9999's once you give him beserk, not to mention he does like 3-4 hits whenever his attack meter goes up.

    It's insane!

  • i have never ever enjoyed packing a lip, before playing any FF game, like i have with 12...hands down gets you in the fuckin zone

  • i got this and was all exicted and the dude at gamestop said it was good i go to play it and it was a demo -_-

  • This game is one of the best final fantasy in my opinion.It has all I wanted and then some like having big towns to explorer,summons,buds for side quest,and alot of gameplay to explorer unlike final fantasy 13 the only 3 things that pissed me off about the game is there is no towns,the fighting style,and we can't buy sword or shields.Square Enix should make a game like 7,8,x, and 12.

  • The cinematic's graphics makes today's graphics look like crap XD

  • Comment removed

  • Only Final Fantasy I did not like was FF XI.

  • I really dont know why Star Wars always pops in my head when ever i watch this.

  • @REChronic54 it looks like naboo

  • @REChronic54

    Because it resembles Star Wars. But I'll take FFXII over Star Wars any day!

  • I'd hate to be THAT guy, but it's the same with every single effin Final Fantasy video people complaining about FFVII being so over rated, that's opinion. Just like when someone says FFVII is better than all the other, that is opinion. Get the fuck over it, not everyone is going to have the same opinion as you and getting butt hurt over it on every video is annoying. I love FFVII and FFVIII I have yet to play the others, I'm currently playing FFXIII which I also happen to like. Just enjoy. -_-

  • Love it!

  • @95Buzzkill I prefer FF10, 'cause it is just wounderfull imo (The ending makes me cry every fkn time i see it) and it was my first FF...

    But FF12 is a nice game too...sadly, weak character stories but well...a lot of fun to play (Battle System, graphics, freedom(!), Balthier and Fran...;P)

    Get both ;P

  • Should I get this or Final Fantasy 10?

  • @95Buzzkill this is a goodie!

  • I dont get it?? why is it that VII is so overrated? yes i've played it, tbh its bullshit. Lifeless forgettable characters, laughable bad translations, horrible graphics even for its time and the story?? heh, let's not even get started.. For the first time in a FF game i actually felt freedom when i played this game, exploration suddenly had a purpose and it was fun without the stupid random encounters/lame battle sequences. I really dont get it.

  • @brink808 maybe its because of the lame ass hair and katana

  • @brink808 FFVII is not overrated, and every single person that worked so hard on it back then to pave the way for every Final Fantasy after it deserves all the praise given. People just say "It's better than this or that", which is opinion, but that it's a bad game? Hardly. Your reasons for dismissing it are empty, it had some of the most memorable characters in gaming history and set a landmark for console graphics back then in 1997 when it came out. Weren't you there?

  • @brink808 I'm sorry, but you can't describe VII's characters as 'forgettable', and then go on to praise XII. XII's cast was the very definition of the word, I'm afraid.

  • @NASTAR01 I was just stating my own opinions on the game that everybody for some awkward reason loves and praises for being the best game ever, sadly, opinions doesn't exist on the internet. you might have misunderstood me or perhaps i explained it wrong, but i was just trying to say that there ARE better and more promising FF games that deserve more attention than VII, its simply overrated in every content available.

  • @brink808 I think it's because, for a lot of people, VII is their first FF game (it was the one that launched the series into international stardom). People always seem to hold their very first experience closest to their heart (biased views ahoy). I imagine a lot genuinely feel it is the greatest, as well. My first game was VII (and I love it), but I actually believe IX to be the best. VI was brilliant, too. It's one of those things, I guess.

  • @NASTAR01 I agree with you tho, the cast of XII is laughable, but as far as the new ones go, this one was the best (in my opinion).

  • such a great game ;D

    cool battle- system

  • This game have cool graphics :) , Love it !

  • This is one of the best Final Fantasy games, I wasn't really into FF prior to playing this game, it made me love the series. I usually see people saying the storyline was stupid and the characters were shallow etc.. i think many people didn't get the politics in the plot line, this game required bit of a brain in order for you to quite get what was going on. I loved the characters, I loved every bit of 120 hours playing it and I would do it all over again.

  • @mralanv amen brother!

  • @mralanv Vaan and Penello were shallow characters created to market the game to younger audiences. Notice their lack of plot relevance.

  • @mralanv eu tambem faria tudo de novo sem pensar nem 2 vezes joguei 384 horas de jogo e nao me arependo e nao cheguei azerar 100% nem consegui as armas mais fortes a unica q consegui foi escalibur p q eu nao tinha internet mas agora vou comesa do zero e vou termina 100%

  • Final Fantasy 12 is soo underrated, i think it gets rated harshly for changing the usual final fantasy formula... i loved the game... people just wanted a final fantasy 7 rehash lol

    in saying that i love final fantasy 7 too lol

  • @funakiexpress This game was baller. Didn't much care for the ending though. Forging an alliance with Vayne and marching their consolidated forces against Giruvegan and the Occuria would have been much more climactic.

  • @funakiexpress my only beef with it was the story really didnt draw me in which for a final fantasy game is a real let down same with 13

  • @funakiexpress I feel that both IX and XII have the best setting. I really like the medieval-furistic atmosphere they both have. However, if I'd have to pick one, I'd pick IX. I think that the main characters are deeper.

  • 2:19 I just love the way they have built the intro cinematic when they show the sword emerging with some magic effects and forming the game's logo of Gabranth. It really cheers me up! :D

  • I FUCKING HATE THIS GAME AERSASGHASRHASR!!! the characters were so shallow and most were totally unnecessary and the story was boring as shiiiiit!!!

  • @kingboss9000 Yeah, they should've just re-hashed the same basic plot and character archetypes from FF7 like they'd been doing, instead.

  • @slightlyoutofreach01 That would have been better than this unholy abomination, watching paint dry would be more entertaining than this game. It just seemed like they got lazy with the writing, I didn't mind the combat system and the world looked gorgeous but the story and characters just didn't do it for me, and a FF game without good story or characters...Is pointless.

  • @kingboss9000 It's not a fact that the game had a terrible story and characters, that's just how you see it. A lot of people would disagree. I myself felt that same way about Final Fantasy VII, but that's a far less popular opinion amongst the fanbase.

  • @slightlyoutofreach01 to each his own, oh I forgot I'm late for a furry convention.

  • @kingboss9000 Cool, have fun.

  • @slightlyoutofreach01 yes, fun, like I didn't have playing this game.

  • @kingboss9000 Well, it's like you already said; different strokes. I felt that way about FF7 and FF13.

    Have a good one.

  • @slightlyoutofreach01 This game is like giving a mcdonalds employee a kick in the balls instead of a pay check, the time you put in to it is not worth the "reward" of one shitty cut scene after another of these overly vanilla characters. And even the world was unoriginal basically a star wars ripoff with yellow birds.

  • @kingboss9000 Now you are just trying to force your opinion on others. I really, really liked FFXII. I liked the story, the soundtrack, the characters, the game play and especially the freedom.

    The only thing I haven't finished in this game was Yiazmat. 50 Million hp was too much for me.

    For me, FFXII had some of my most memorable FF moments. (Underleveled battle with Gilgamesh and the ultimate struggle against Omega Mark XII, to mention 2 of them.)

    But, to each their own I guess.

  • @PianoWheatley If a ff games if the characters and story suck to you, then the whole game will suck. that's the way I look at it anyway. Games to me are at a point where It's so easy for them to tell a cinematic story that we can literally criticize the "acting" and plot more than ever...so in a way it's kinda like I didn't like this movie :3. Kinda like some people liked Star wars 3 and some didn't. same thing. But as far as gameplay goes...it was pretty straight forward.

  • @kingboss9000 *in ff games* i mean :B

  • 12 is my favorite...the characters the setting. From my days with vagrant story and ff tactics, the world of Ivalice of one of all time top best. Screw ff 13-2 and all that I want a vagrant story 2 or another final fantasy 12. Love Balthier and Fran

  • i hate the gameplay like actually fighting and running round.the visuals and story are so good that i wish they just made movies instead of games.haha

  • How many of the Games actually have the original opening theme in them? I've heard it in FFI (of course), FFIV, FFVII (in the Ending for some reason), and now FF XII... But I heard FFIII got it too..

    How about the others? They got it?

    And, now more on-topic about FF XII, this made me want to set up my PS2 again :D

  • Really enjoyed this game.sorry 2 say I never finished it because my disc got scratched,but the visuals and story were amazing.It's definitely a game to remember!

  • don't get why people hate ff12 so much

  • i love FFXII anyone who played FFXI will come to love this. During it's time when FFXI was crap THIS was the game to be. It was basically like an Off line version of XI. In some ways it does resemble a lot of Vangrant Story. A damn good game to play! I could care less about FFXIII and XIII - 2 / and FFXIV. To me those games a crap they just totally went backgrounds with those two.

  • Yeah sorry what music i love it 1:34

  • sorry may i know what is the song name from 1:34 onwards please?

  • @cutegirlgirlElaine It's the main theme of Final fantasy IV

  • Play PS2 games on PC:

    /watch?v=_JG1y9PJWkY

  • Is it just me, or is the beginning music really familiar? It reminds me of FFX for some reason.

  • I just love that ff 12 use only symphony music in whole game. Thats amazing.

  • Final Fantasy VII is the best

  • It was underrated, in my opinion. Received a lot of mediocre scores. But, really and truly, this is one of my favorite Final Fantasies. Well worth playing over Final Fantasy XIII in my opinion. I never did get Zodiark, though. Nor did I bother killing Yiazmat; got him down to about 26million HP before I fell asleep. Needless to say, that didn't end well.

  • @PootyHead R U serious!? Didn't know that it received mediocre scores :( I think FF12 was one of the best Final Fantasy games that I've played. FF13 was a little disappointment. It's a good game but it lacks what Final Fantasy is known for. FF12 started something new and still had the same aspects with the previous ones which many players as myself enjoys. I think FF12 is far better than FF13 in terms of gameplay imo.

  • 1:34 the best part la mejor parte

  • FFXII was the best one. only game I ever liked that used turn based combat

  • @TheFuneralMist It was more like a hybrid...hardly true blue turn-based combat. It really resembles Final Fantasy XI in that way.

  • i am just getting to know FF and i really like 13 the characters are awsome and the voice acting is great and the characrters are soo hot

  • but for me the emotinal series is ff x and ff xii has the coolest battle system.. . .

  • the most boring and most overrated game ever made

    can anyone tell me wat the fuss is about

    if there's no story or events or different missions

    then wat is it about it ?

  • @sweetouth20 overrated? boring? do you even noe about this game? its one of the most underrated in the series

  • @dandynood

    yea i know it

    i played the first 50 hours of it

    50 hours of my life i'll never take back

    and they was the most boring hours i ever had

  • @sweetouth20 really? wat the hell were you doing?

  • @dandynood

    i played the "game"

    i got to the deadlands then threw the disc away

  • @sweetouth20 dude i meant wat the hell were you doing in the game?

  • @dandynood

    i played the "story"

    wat else would i be doin?

    through the entire game all there's to do is finding this and locate that (yaaaaawn)

  • @sweetouth20 the story only?

  • They need a new direction with the combat/ gameplay system. FF13 was oks, but forget about all that crap. It needs to be fast paced combat with computer controlled coop style, like you see in Resident Evil Operation Racoon city. In a sense FF is going back to Secret of mana roots. Let the computer control the other characters in a coop way. You deal with your own character in fast paced combat and that will take care of the gameplay.

  • FF12 opening scene is truly EPIC to say the least. The classic FFcrystal theme song plus Tour de Japon FF theme song, is surely a kicker. FF12 was jammpacked with quests, little secrets, character upgrades, boss fights, epic battles etc. The problem with FF is that with 60 to 100+ hours you need a frikkin AWESOME story to get people glued to the screen. FF12 did not deliver on the story. Neither did FF13. Plus the new gameplay direction style is at times too boring and confusing.

  • Any wii vesion of this

  • damn...these songs remind me of the hundreds of hours i spent with this game

    thank you square enix for this jewel

  • meh...X is better xD

  • If you're really a certified Final Fantasy fan, you don't hate even 1 of It's games. All was a masterpiece and a unique set of gameplay.

  • @IconStrife Yeah, I liked all of the ones I played. XIII Was a good game, but it wasn't like Final Fantasy. So good for a game, but bad for Final Fantasy y'know?

  • @ianh97 Yeah, It's already 2011. I think people should move on.

  • @IconStrife 13 and 2 were ASS

  • where can i find marjn . . . fran said to the west but where . .??help me

  • @megataikotai you need to get out from the golmore jungle and then talk to the soldier at the outside entrance of the golmore jungle. . He'll ask you for a potion, give it to him and in return he'll lent you a chocobo. . take the chocobo and then find a path with chocobos' footprint, because there is path that only chocobo can to access. . It'll take you to the southern map of ozmoze plain, there is henne mine entrance. . Go explore it

  • @yukiharvestfans thank . . . .it takes me hour to figure it out .thank @yukiharvestfans . .if i need any answer i will ask you . . .

  • @yukiharvestfans help me . . . how to unlock the key to the door in the stilshrine of miriam/ward of measure . . .the king say 'treaty seeker:relic held,this pedeatal embrace'. it's comfusing

  • @megataikotai is it at the early part/room in the stillshrine of miriam? Well first you have to equip the Dawn Shard on the character that you control, then you press the switch, if you not equip it, when you press the switch only zombies come out

  • @yukiharvestfans .damn . . thank again @yukiharvestfans . . . i think without you i can't finish this game . . .thanks

  • @megataikotai Hahaha no need to thank. . don't hesitate to ask

  • @yukiharvestfans what is purpose of getting many chains.???

  • Personaly i like all the FF games. but some stories are not to be all good.

  • I'm starting to get into the final fantasy series. I've played this game, and final fantasy x. *SPOILERS?* But in final fantasy x, the game froze for me, at the part where Yuna almost gets married to that douche with the blue hair who looks like he can be in the oranization 13 in kingdom hearts 2. XD LOL. Even though I haven't got far in that game, I still liked it. I love the Persona series, Tales Of series, and getting into the final fantasy series. About to play this and final fantasy x-2

  • FF XIII is The BESTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

  • For me, all Final Fantasy series is awesome! Well, I've only played FF1, FF4, FF7, FF8, FF9, FF10, FF12 and FF13, all of them is awesome. . But for some reasons, I'm really love FF12 a lot!!!!! The battle system, the characters, the stories and missions, and so much more. . Well then again, all final fantasy were awesome and I love FF12 the most!

  • @yukiharvestfans

    wat r u talkin about

    ff12 is boring as hell there's nothing to it

    and its the same missions over and over

    and no events in it no story, the total oppisite of ff10

  • Comment removed

  • @sweetouth20 Different people different favorite, you know. . And this FFXII not FFX so obviously it is not FFX, totally opposite from it. . It is not FFX-3 for you to compare it with FFX. . It is FFXII whether you like it or not. . Lol

  • @yukiharvestfans

    i realise its not ff10

    coz ff10 is actually good and keeps u playin it with its different events and different stuff to do

    not the same shit over and over

  • @sweetouth20 Umm okay. . I see. .

  • @yukiharvestfans I'm pretty sure it all about the story... The game was too long,, and AWESOME that makes you fall in love in every episodes...

  • I miss Cloud...

  • @koulouras1 You can by FFVII on PSN, you know. :-)

  • Final Fantasy XII is the most politically complex FF ever.

    The whole Archadian Empire plot is full of realism.

    Those who did not like FFXII, it's because they got low grades in History class.

  • @ddensu totally agreed with you. square enix really put a tremendous effort in the story line for this version. the whole senate, vayne thing obviously we can relate to the great roman empire. its certainly not the best FF but its worth to play!

  • I can't really call myself a XII fanboy, I will say I think that XII and IV are what I would call "proper Final Fantasy games". I just can't understand the ranting fandom over X...

  • why do square Enix games are depressing??

  • funny how all these fanboys are talking about which final fantasy is best but they don't even talk about how this intro is cut short.

  • ff XII is ok in some aspects but personally FF IX presents a more interesting plot my favorite so far

  • @TenshiTamagoKidd15 because ppl are to boring to try something new, I mean yea turn based is good but xii was the most different ff game, it wasn't about the two main charcters having a crush on each other like ffx or ix, ffxii was more political, it wasn't all about the fantasy world in every other ff, ffxii may not be the most loved but its reviews prove its strong alone...

  • how come everyone hates xii?

  • this Final Fantasy reminded me of Lord of The Rings :o

  • i dont think this is the best final fantasy but it sure comes close. id say ffX is the best :D

  • @themisterbaiter FFX will always be the best. Wish they'd make a remake. FFX in HD is FFX

  • all these youngins talkin bout how this was the good one, 13 is all flash no substance. reminds me of the old ff6 vs. ff7 debate over a decade ago. now they're both classics hah

  • hey guys, someone here want the full the movie FFVII? if u want tell me i give u [its real]

  • hey guys, someone here want the full the movie FFXII? if u want tell me i give u [its real]

  • One of the greatest games ever made. Story, characters, environments, music is pure euphoria, the whole atmosphere in FF12 is something you don't encounter in many games. You just can't get enough of this game. Even leveling up is fun and interesting if you have your fav characters, weapons and map. FF13 was nothing like this. Graphics aren't all that matters. I think I never stop playing it. There might be breaks, but I always pick up my ps2 controller instead of my ps3 controller. FF12 FTW!!!!

  • I love the music that starts at 1:50! It comes straight from the first final fantasy. When you cross the first bridge in the game you get to see the main credits and and this song (I want to call it an interlude). I've long since wished I had bought final fantasy on nes when I was a young one.

  • Truly great game. I would play it again right now if I had it. Had already put in over 600 hours on 3 different files.

  • I literally spent 180 hours on this game and i still yet to complete all the hunts and lvl up to 99

  • im playing this as im drunk as fuck right now, happy 4th of july lol

  • @mohammad200 XIII is for assholes

  • @redchar6

    Then XIII is for you! ; )

  • This is my 2nd favorite after FF:X. It's true that the story was more political and of course *cough* romantic scenes were rare. But the battle system, side quests, dungeons, espers... they're all amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • this is my favorite Final Fantasy, the game is incredible, it's big, beautiful, and has a great story, some find it bad to have innovated the series, but it is exactly this point that he has conquered, this of course is my opinion ^ ^

  • lolwut?

  • The thing about the gambit system is once you search for the right gambits to use in gamefaqs or something, it gets boring. Thinking of the best gambit settings is part of the game.

    One more thing, I enjoyed the game better when I limited each character to a role or class (much like zodiac job system did) compared to making them all overpowered mageknights.

  • WOW this looks shit...FF 13 is waaaay better!!!

  • @mohammad200 Thirteen sucks!!

  • This game gives a new twist in fighting system! :) I love war :) I love when oppressed people fights back and win!! sweetest victory!!

  • Nice graphics. It took me two years to beat this game.

  • Comment removed

  • I started thinking Star Wars from 0:48

  • final fantasy 12 totally eat alot of my time :) but it sure is satisfying to play, to be honest i do not think final fantasy is the best rpg, graphics are good yeah but i played all ff series but none of them made my blood boil, the tales series and suikoden series i think is much better :P

  • I don't know, I mean I can't make what out what I think of this game. . .

    I had it like twice and granted I never got too far, Idk I just never got into it. .

    The first time I was just like. . . wtf?? Like the new battle system threw me off totally.

    The second time well it was pretty fun,

    . . . .

    Idk what is wrong with me O.o

    p.s

    Final Fantasy VII was my fave!!!

    Vincent Valentine for the win!!!!

    <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • I never beat this game got stuck on some huge dinosaur thing could never beat it :'(

  • Square owns the best Computer Animation division on the planet, bar none. Not even Pixar can stand before them. Avatar is more like Amateur compared to them.

  • best final fantasy game ever

  • i played the and finish the 8 and 9 final fantasy but never finished the ff10 for some reason i got pissed at the main character of ffx and now i played ff12! and said!! F@K its ALOT BETTER THAN FFX!! ... FFX is thrash!! compared to ff12!! just my opinion!! :D

  • this was the last decent ps2 game i played before the ps3

  • I would love to play this game...

  • I heard from the hunting guild there have been incidents of people getting attacked while hunting. is it true? who does it?

  • The memories...

  • This game never took for me but it is a beautiful game and the story is great too, FFX is still my favorite followed by 8 and 9

  • watch?v=z0eHHYdMxlk

  • hey pal!like it although i just started playing this..its challenging if you play it on normal..haha!

  • I really like this game very much :D

  • this is my favorite final fantasy game after IX

  • this is the best final fantasy game!!!

    everyone must play this game

  • hey guys, do you think this game is good?

  • @07gerdz right now i'm playing it, i think is a really good game, and the graphics are very detailed,

    the style of the game is different from the others, but with an original style

  • @Mizu9011 yeah your right dude, it is an awesome game.

  • Great game though

  • Aircrafts run by steam engines? Lol is it supposed to magical. I don't get why it's like medieval with the swords and armor. The planes had guns so use guns!!!

  • ..... airplanes, but armors, and swords........, and chicken riders........ wat time is that

  • Final Fantasy 12 had a good plot once you reach the middle of the game. The problem is that you spent so much time running around in a cave or tomb (GIANT LIGHTHOUSE WITH 10 LEVELS) that you get annoyed and eventually stop caring and youtube everything.

  • gay characters,ridiculous summons and bad story,but other than that, fantastic game!! :P better than X2 at least ;)

  • I love FF12 <3 Too bad my PS2 broke down couple of months ago... Still haven't been able to finish this lovely game :'(
