II is arguably the worst mainline game as well as least popular.

I blame not releasing International version outside of Japan. IZJS was fucking great.

We'll get it when Square makes the FF12 HD remake. But that will probably happen between FF15 and FF7R or after FF7R.

It's still the best game in the series when you throw IZJS in the mixAnd even if you don't, it's STILL the best!

I'm actually playing right now.
The story abs setting is great but the gameplay is really limited, its the reason I dislike action JRPGs.
I can see myself dropping it soon, which is ashame because I do enjoy the story and world.
Its my favorite game.
>bland characters
>mostly bland orchestral OST (the battle themes are the best, as usual with sakimoto)
>forgettable story
>bland, repetative and needlessly huge enviroments (thank god for the fast forward option in IZJS)
>side content is just more battles (marks)
gambits were a great idea that could've been implemented a bit better, but just thinking about this game makes me feel sleepy
last FF I bought

It has a fantastic end-game, and the combat opens up a lot after you put in enough hours.

This is bad how? Oh, you LIKED dodging 200 lightning bolts?
It didn't have a main character (although articles will try to state there is one), it was an ensemble. Everyone tries to back into Vaan being the protagonist because his story is the hero's journey, and it's the one we're most familiar with; but he is not explicitly the character you're following throughout the story. Without that prominent lead, people don't have strong associations with it even if they liked the game. Moreover, the overarching political drama was not compelling and the big bad was a conglomerate as opposed to a main antagonist, so the ensemble didn't really work like it does for FF6.
Daily reminder that FF12 is probably the most mature FF game to date, which is why people hate it. It's not generic and shitty.
Is this translation good?
