Name of Game: Final Fantasy XII
Platform: Playstation 2
Price: $29.99
Yes, I know the game came out like a year ago, and I know I'm behind on the times, but I just started playing it, and everything I've heard about it is completely true. I'm only about 3 hours into the game, but I have to say that it's got one of the most interesting storytelling methods, and possibly the best turn-based battle system I've ever seen. (For those that disagree that it's turn based, it really is, at it's core, turn based.) The characters I've gathered so far are distinct, all with their own personalities and backstories - far more similar to Final Fantasy X in that respect. (VII through IX had characters joining the party well into the second or third disc, which was annoying because they never got as much attention as the hero and heroine. Can you honestly say we learned as much about Aramant as we did about Zidane?)
The Gambit system is pretty incredible. I actually have only just scratched the surface of what it can do. I'm hoping to play a little bit more before I have to go back to school because I know that after I get back, I'm probably going to be pretty swamped. But it's a great game, and I'm looking forward to seeing where they take the story.
