>pop in the game
>game begins with an amazing, hype af cinematic, really makes you want to experience the world
>first 10 - 20 hours are great, characters are generally likable, even Vaan, who despite being kinda whiny and stupid, has some neat goals (wanna be a pirate), the desert setting is completely different as a starting area for an FF game, which is usually used as near-endgame setting, with all other FF games starting in some green grassy plains.
>Bounties are a great idea and make for a lot of side quests.
>Suddenly, 20 hours in
>little to no story progression
>combat has become so repetitive, wait to attack gameplay, all of the characters barely feel different due to the licensing board
>realize all of the characters beside Balthier actually kinda suck
I can't be the only one. This has happened to me like eight times since Final Fantasy 12 was first released. Tomb of Raithwall literally kills any enjoyment this game had.

why would reddit like ff12
the story in that game is the most convoluted, confusing mess i've ever witnessed
i feel like just to have a basic understanding of the world you need to first read a 2,000 page tome detailing the lore

>picks up ff12 for a replay after years
>not the 'international' edition with the zodiac job system
