Vayne/Cid '08

Wark!,

Holy crap, I am so high....on videogames. I'm beginning to think Final Fantasy XII is the best RPG ever. At the very least, my favorite. No other role-playing game has ever had such intense boss battles. It might have something to do with my playing at highest speed, ATB, but I become so wrapped up in them, there is a real sense of danger and accomplishment. As ashamed as I am to admit it, I sometimes feel so much empathy for my characters that I emulate their motions during the quickenings. The music contributes perfectly; I love struggling against monstrous and difficult foes as that triumphant score blasts from my TV's meager speakers. It is truly an experience that only an interactive artistic medium can deliver.

Expect a full review once I beat it, whenever that will be. I've already put more time into it than any other single player adventure ever. Now I just need to calm down so I can fall asleep. VIDEO GAMES ROCK!!!!!

I'm the leading man,
Balthier

This is awesome, because my experience is pretty much the opposite. I've had such a blast completely obliterating everything in my path...We should switch it up and try it the other way the next time through.

As much as I love it, I may wait several years before replaying it. That game has occupied my entire semester thus far.
