      @@ComradeOgilvy369 no 12 got a lot of hate. Still does. I think imo people got scared that fights became more dynamic. Even though that’s a better model imo.
      I don’t think it’s the best but it’s for sure up there and deserves more credit. Maybe if the story was a bit stronger.

      @@alphawolf2067 I think it was the story that scared people away. It's less cliche love story and world ending, and more political with local consequences. I was the perfect age to appreciate a political story when it released, but how many teenagers cared about politics to appreciate the story in this game? I think as people have gotten older they have come to like it as they can now enjoy the politics.

    Probably one of my favourite themes in the game, and it doesn’t even come off to me as a villain theme.

    • @deathseraph3
      @deathseraph3 3 года назад +6

      I like the story. Between tactics and 12 I feel that Ivalice has a good amount of plots based on political tension and I personally enjoy both games stories for that reason. I also just find the architecture of the cities and places you go to to be quite pleasing and do I even need to mention the sound track? I love themes like this, the boss battle track and a lot of the area themes.
      I also think that the gambit centric combat system is quite good. Yeah its on autopilot, but you chose how it autopilots and can change that how you want to adapt to new circumstances if something you didn't expect pops up. I also like the amount of side content that game has despite how cryptic and hidden a lot of it is.
