Final Fantasy XII discussion thread for those playing the game

I've been playing the Zodiac Age edition on Switch and I'm mesmerized. I thought maybe all Final Fantasies after FF7 were complete trash but this one is really fun and engrossing.

9 and 10 are pretty beloved too! this one's more of a cult favorite

ff8: card game, good
ff9: kinda regular ass fantasy, good
ff10: blitzball, good
ff10-2: dress sphere, good
ff11: bad mmo
ff12: awesome game
ff13, 13-2, 13-3 (didnt play 13-3): fal'cie, l'cie, bad
ff14: good mmo
ff15: AFI dudes, good

i think the few people who made it to 13-3 really liked it but its a character action game?

13-3's soundtrack is incredible

I gave up on FFX, I kept getting mad at it for being stupid. I might pick it back up once I'm done with XII and VII (which I played before but never finished).

I might revisit 9 too but I dunno if the Switch version is any good?

which was the one that was more or less on rails? I really hated that one, bailed within a few hours

13?

10 seemed very railroaded to me but maybe i didn't get far enough into it

a lot of them are railroaded for the first half until you get the airship or w/e

first half linear, second half open world / revisiting earlier areas with new purpose is a pretty standard rpg structure
