I have to say after playing X i was greatly dissapointed. I think that was the worst one of the series. I just started playing FFXII and im blown away. The gameplay is awsome and the world is so much cooler. You actually get to go where ever you want and look at anything you want.

I am in the midst of Final Fantasy 12 right now. I have to disagree with you about X, I thought it was an amazing game in both story and battle system/gameplay. X-2 was good also.
FF12 is turning out to be pretty good. The story isn't too engrossing...it seems fairly basic, and the pretexts for wandering around are sometimes quite thin. I agree with you that you that the world is much cooler. I found X to be liner, and XII is nice and open, almost like an online RPG! I love the variety of cultures, even though you only get to play with humes and a viera. The cities are well-desigend and engrossing.
The battle system is interesting. It plays almost like an online RPG. I'm not sure if I enjoy the battle system witht he gambits. It's almost like, I'm not sure how to progarm my characters to act other than just fight (I always feel like I'd be draining their MP if I set them to do anythign but attack normally). I have only really set up my characters with attack gambits and heal gambits! So I'm not sure if this is the best system...I always prefer to have much more control over my characters than this system affords. Though, with this system, I do feel it is enough to control just the one leader. I never feel battles are a struggle or frustrating, I just feel this system isn't ideal for the way I like to game.
I really love the side quests. They're not annoying, like learning blitzball and those card games from the older final fantasy titles. The hunting side quests are great, and really help to make use of the battle system. It's really a lot of fun, and I probably end up spending more time on that than the actual game itself.
The summoning system needs work. I don't understand how in the world they can have the espers replace two party members, and leave the leader there. Uh what? Here's my common scenario: I'm in a battle, and feel slightly overpowered, so I have Vaan summon Belias. Belias replaces the other two characters, leaving Vaan and Belias. Vaan now becomes the target of the monsters (not Belias. WHY not Belias?) After a couple quick hits from the monsters, Vaan is dead, and Belias is automatically dismissed because the summoner is dead. What a dumb system!!! The summon esper should AUTOMATICALLY become to target!!! Ugh. That's really one of my only frustrations about the game thus far.
The loot system is really great, I like it better than just getting gil, and it also makes stealing and poaching fun.
Okay enough of my rant!!

i liked all final fantasy series except for x-2 which i never really liked for some reasons
final fantasy 12 is a nice game, but getting strong weapons take a lot of patience, and without walkthrough u can almost never get those strong weapons and armors, how do we know which chest not to open if we never read the walkthrough -.-, just felt like punching some game producer in the face
this is actually the 1st final fantasy game which i had problem getting money actually, well maybe cos i was training all 6 of my characters at once so buying good armors + weapons for all 6 of them is super expensive
the battle system is good, no loading time, just see and whack =D , sidequests is always long and tedious in all final fantasy, sometimes it really get on my nerves, giving me a headache, i did like final fantasy X because of the storyline and the colourful characters, for this final fantasy XII vaan seems a bit too...quiet

i in my opinion like XII extra yet i in my opinion think of you will desire to get FF XI for computing device... this is kinda like a mmog (this is one, somewhat) even though it has a storyline and stuff... the only concern is this is like international of warcraft (this is extra suitable), it calls which you would be able to purchase extra addon disk thingies that fee money and it has a month-to-month fee...

this time.. i agreed that XII is so much better than X.
But X is not bad at all.
the worst is X-2.. it's sailor moon in Final Fantasy disguise

I love it! Doesn't the new battle system rock? And the gambit system is cool. The graphics are beautiful. Who is your fave character? I love Balthier, he is SO cool! Obviously, I really enjoy the game!
