If you ever want to play a star wars story with the serials all filed off, this is it. A weak protagonist, a weak story, a weak world, all the best things about 12 are the mechanics. Some of the fights are really fun, and the game is very content rich.
12s real utility is being the benchmark to judge all other ffs on. Worse than 12? Dogshit. Better than 12? Good. Its entirely middle of the road in am aggressive way.


Balthier deserved better than to be sidelined in his own game.
