Why do so many people dislike FFXII? Did you not play the international version?

>the international version
What's the difference?
>>
>>331601035
The international version lets you press L2 to speed up the game so it's less shitty. But on the other hand it locks all characters to a single class which is awful.

The game still sucks.

The NA version didn't have that? Damn.

Because it's the most anti casual, cRPG-ish FF out of all the FF's. And the FF fanbase is filled to the brim with casuals -just look at XIV.
>>
>>331604843
It is by far the most casual FF. You literally do not have to send inputs during 99% of the battle encounters.
>>
>>331604843
You can essentially beat the game by moving only the control stick, and never once have to touch your battle menu. It's pretty casual. Even FF6 is more challenging.
That said I love the game.

>rpg difficulty is about navigating menus
No you fool, FF was the least casual because it had the most strategy options via AI programming and 3d mechanics.

>>331605720
there's literally no strategy setting up gambits

No you can't.

You can only autobattle after like 20 hours.

12 is my favorite FF and I wish it was remastered and updated for PS4.

>tfw you finally leave the town and get rekt by a dinosaur
>tfw you level up some and come back and rek it
Feels good, man.

My PS2 is broken, so I can't even play my 12 anymore.
Feels fucking bad.
Nobody cares about fucking X or VII, give me fucking XII

>>331606532
It was a hyperbole to reinforce my point

>>331606228
You mean like what you do in every rpg ever.

Played the original, it's my second favorite FF, so I don't get the hate for it. Don't ask me; I think people are retarded if they dislike any FF game set in Ivalice.
>>
>>331607209
FFXII emulates like a dream, assuming you have a mid-range computer or better.
>>
>>331599071
Because it's serious as fuck

>no boy meets girl romance
>no straight up evil villain
>less focus on the party and focusing on the villains and side characters
>some super long dungeons that make the story pacing pretty awful at points
>no super DBZ tier cinemas
>A lot of focus on worldbuilding
>combat probably the hardest out of all the main numbered offline FFs

It's a product of a broken home but it's so different tonally and direction wise from the more teenager friendly FFs that regulars were turned off by it.

All games with AI team members should have something similar to the Gambit system.

MFW i have the gambit status's needed for green magic Penelo.
