In which I need to get something off my chest
Hey. You elitist bastards who have supposedly played every RPG out there. Especially you IGN and GameFAQ members. Guess what?
I like .hack//G.U. and Final Fantasy XII. I didn't like Tales of the Abyss. Does that make me a bad person? NO.
I agree FFXII is nowhere near the best Final Fantasy game ever--at least in my opinion. But like .hack//G.U. and Tales of the Abyss, it's still a damn good game. Unlike Tales of the Abyss, however, it doesn't make me want to brutally murder almost every character in it.
I'm willing to bet most of you haven't actually played FFXII (or only played the beginning, which I admit is kind of dull). Your type only won't because "IT OVERSHADOWED TALES OF TEH ABYS STOOPID SQUARE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!111" or "ITS NOT LIKE OTHER FF GAMES STOOPID SQUARE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!111" And your fear of the battle system? I've said it once, and I'll say it again: It's not as complicated as it looks.
In short, get over yourselves. Played FFXII and didn't like it? Good for you. Played Tales of the Abyss and didn't like it? Good for you. So quit flinging your shit at people just because they liked one game over the other. I certainly don't need it for ToA. I feel bad enough being the only person I know (who has played it) who isn't fond of it.
