Holy fucking SHIT this game is boring. I missed it the first time - I now realize I didn't miss out on anything.
I bought this on Switch. Spent about 10 hours on it. Some of the most boring ass, MMO-typical mechanics I ever experienced. Fetch quest: The game. License system sucks and makes no sense.
Fuck this game. I regret dropping $$$ on this trash.

the story/music/world is great, but yeah, the gameplay is trash
Brainlet op
>Dude what if we made half the playable cast be inconsequential to the story
>Dude what if we made a cast that barely says anything and almost never interacts with each other
>Dude what if we made multiple cutscenes where the main character has no idea what's going on and just stands in the background while people who matter speak
>Dude what if we made a character who's literally just a random girl off the street
>Dude what if we made a villain who has zero emotional connection to the heroes and doesn't even meet them until the last ten minutes
>Dude what if we took Final Fantasy Tactics' setting and made it a poor man's Star Wars
>Dude what if we gave the narrator a comical Apu accent
>Dude what if we made a political plot and then ruined it by turning it into standard ancient god shenanigans
>Dude what if we made a plot where the heroes have almost no impact on what happens until 95% of the way through the story and spend their time traipsing through non-descript caves and ruins
>Dude what if I'm Captain Basch
>Dude what if we took everything 100% seriously and had zero levity
>Dude what if we wrote all of the dialogue to sound like a Renaissance Fair
>Dude what if we we had no overworld and all travel was handled by a menu or floating teleport crystals
>Dude what if we made a battle system where you set everything up in advance so that you don't actually play the game
>Dude what if we made summons useless except for opening doors
>Dude what if instead of fun side quests we had only fetch/kill quests like in some generic MMO
>Dude what if instead of having fun side games like the motorcycle chase and Triple Triad we had nothing
>Dude what if we had really shitty music
not OP, but anyone with a room temp IQ can set up gambits which can play 99.9% of the game for you
>>Dude what if we made a cast that barely says anything and almost never interacts with each other
Why is it only Square does this shit?
Im enjoying it. Its more fun than Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and no awful gacha shit

The ultimate basedboy test of a game. FF12 has been kino since its release, and only become moreso with each re-release. Zodiac Age is the best version of the game, and will be so forever more.
Did you play 15?
Don't forget
>Weapons are pretty much all the same
>Melee jobs play the same
>Magic jobs fucking suck
>Haste+Berserk breaks the game
>Gambits make the game auto-pilot
>No gambits make the game a chore
>Technicks are fucking boring and add no flavor to a job since every job can pretty much get them
>>Dude what if we had really shitty music
I know this is a pasta but how can someone have this much shit taste?
I like it. It feels like FFXI Offline. If you can't find a redeeming quality in it, then you're retarded for wasting money without looking into the game first. It's not 1989 anymore, it's the internet age. Learn to figure out if a game is worth your money fuckin brainlet.
>Dude what if I'm Captain Basch
kek this one always gets me
To answer OP's brainlet post: yes, the story is convoluted trash, the main party has no reason at all to join and follow you around the world risking their lives, and, although fun, Hunts make no fucking sense. Why the fuck would the party go out of their way to hunt some retarded serpent hiding in a cave in the middle of buttfuck nowhere when they're against a whole empire about to invade and destroy everything you hold dear (because yes, it's always a fucking empire).
Also everything looks like straight out of a bootleg Star Wars game.
Well, at least you can customize your party and exploring dungeons can be fun if you don't overlevel like a scrub faggot.
Why do you make this thread every day?
That's exactly my #1 problem with the game.
It feels like it wants to be FFXI but it doesn't go anywhere with the system.
>overleveled
I thought it was extremely hard to lvl up in XII?
to the point where you couldn't farm the mobs?
Zodiac age fixes alot of the issues with it.
I can't defend the "Everyone is the same" complaint about the original 12 release-- however, Zodiac age fixes that by specializing each person, so as to actually add some tactical weight to each of them now.
9.5/10 game, Loved every second of it.
Ashe and Bosch are 100% integral to the Story, and Fran and Balthier are vital to them as party members due to being the ones supplying them with an airship--- I.E, just like how Han solo and Chewy were tied to the plot of star wars.
Additionally, as the game goes on Balthier's importance grows, as he's the one constantly giving Ashe a negative viewpoint on her quest and why she shouldn't be just blindly seeking auracite or following in the dynast king's footsteps-- You can argue that she would have turned on the occuria at the end regardless, but his needling at her might also have been what kept her from becoming a second dynast king.
Gameplay was fun and fighting marks required you to be willing to step in and micromanage when they did things that would upset your simple gambit scenarios.
Music was great, KYS.
It is fucking kino
>bought it on Switch
It's like I can feel the neckbeard through my phone
Where the hell did you get that impression? Grinding in particular is easy.
not at all if you chain monsters. I also believe Elementals give a fuckton of exp
Only one good thing to come from that game.
The description of the males is surprisingly less beta than i expected from the viera's whole "amazon hunter" race thing.
They're basically the opposite of the Mithra
>males basically live apart except to rape the woman and kidnap the male kids to raise to be future rapists
I can understand why some wouldn't enjoy it but for me the Zodiac Age is a fantastic game and will sadly be the best single player experience FF will offer for a long time.
I played it originally on PS2.
I never got beyond maybe 6 or so hours.
I agree with you OP, but whatever Yea Forums is going to have a meltdown, because Switcher Snakes think you are insulting their "glorious exclusive"/
