Whether you played the original release of Final Fantasy XII back in 2006 or played the remaster recently, I wanted to hear some thoughts on the game, its systems, and its world design, specifically in regards to how it feels to play compared to games released today. From the sprawling, largely empty zones (a strangely specific property of 2006 game design it seems), to the unique yet very hands off battle system, it just seems to me like FF XII is something most people see as greater than the sum of its parts for sure. I often see people speak with disdain towards the game's story or battle system, yet still see large amounts of praise for the game today. (One thing is for sure though - the music of FF XII will always be amazing!). If FFXII were released today in 2018 as FF XVI, how would it be received? Is it (mostly) loved for its grand, realistic take on Final Fantasy that people look back on nostalgically? Or is it loved because the game is just that good and holds up today just as well as any other modern game?
