ENKER'S PROFILE

I found the really big letdown was the story - vacant, uninteresting and in some cases purely pointless. Why was our hero there? What was his motivation? There was little character progression and the most interesting character (a fusion of james bond and captain jack sparrow) was given the smallest level of all. RPGS are all about the story and this one plain sucked. Its the only rpg I've considered dropping and not going back to (and I've played a LOT)

I felt that it lacked many redeeming qualities - and the dungeons were waaaaay too long, there were huge areas of no plot, just random wondering through generic 'sewer' or 'ruin'. Does that make sense?

Is it just me or does Final Fantasy 12 just plain suck? I mean I KNOW it's pretty to look at, but the combat system was dull, the plot uninspiring and the game as a whole made up of waaaay to many fetch and carry quests? What happened to the games that would grip you from the second you saw the opening sequence and not let go till the credits rolled? What happened to character interaction so deep you cried when one died? In short - what happened to the series and where did FFXII go wrong?

I'm a qualified and working Graphic Designer / Illustrator as well as a published writer of articles / short stories and stage plays. I also act and sing. I run two webcomics and am currently working on a radio-show for use in the UK.

wow - who'd have thought I'd have time to play or dally at making RPGs?

lol you know what I mean - table manners are a dying art ;)
