all the rap that FF12 got. I got it last summer, and stopped playing it for a while in favor of FF10 and FF9. At first, I was in awe of how much more story there was. But when that wore off, I realized that I freakin' hated the turn-based fighting. Over and over just to level up. And yes, I do understand that this is the whole point of the FF series, but it gets old after a while. I'll trade a little bit of story for top-notch graphics and the ability to hunt marks, thank-you-very-much! On that note, FF13 better be amazing or I'm going to have a fit.
