I didn't buy Final Fantasy XII today.

I did. You're missing out.

I'm only missing out if it improved at least 6000% over the demo that came with Dragon Quest VIII last year.

It has. I hated the demo, too. Really, I did. I thought it was terrible and I almost got too bored to finish it. And it's a DEMO. But the game is MUCH better. Combat makes sense, the voice acting is superb, and I haven't even really gotten into the meaty bits yet. I think you should rent it and try it out for yourself. (I can see being hesitant to buy it if all you've played is that lame-ass demo, but you were an administrator for a Final Fantasy site. At least give it a try. :P)

Heh, well, the real reason I won't be getting it is that I'm saving up money for something else. I know I'll play it eventually. I'm glad to hear that it's better than the demo though!

[roto13]

That's why I wasn't going to buy it, too. Saving for a trip to Montreal. :P

You forget the key to its goodness though: The main hero isn't a whiny bitch! Huge philosophical change for Square right there.

That's interesting.
