Does this game have a good story by Final Fantasy standards? I haven't played it but i heard they cut a lot of content and that the director changed at the last minute

nope, it's extremely generic and forgettable. That's not even the main issue, the problem is the shit gameplay.

>by FF standards
Those standards are low (only 7, 10, and shadowbringers have good stories) but yes, albeit unfinished

It was the start of the downfall of the series.

Widely panned at the time for being a star wars rip off and was the first fantasy game to not deliver what the audience wanted

You unironically have to have an IQ of 120+ to understand and appreciate FFXII for both its story and its gameplay.

no, even the gameplay is polarizing. I like 11 so I also liked the combat in 12 and I think the gambit system is a really good idea for computer ai in RPGs.

By FF standards? Yeah it's solid and the characters are great.

What's all the high IQ for then?

its actually a really great perspective to have a political story from. ashe is the absolute worst candidate for royalty though, pure garbage.

even without gameplay the world is a fucking snoozer. gameplay peaks in the early sewer dungeon.

It doesn't have a good story unless you compare it to Pong.
Shit, not even, a lack of a story is better than a bad story

It’s decent but feels very rushed towards the end

star wars is just a republican rome ripoff to be desu
read up on the transition from republic to empire and gaius julius -> gaius octavius, think about what vayne does, it's effectively the same
build up powerbase, eliminate all dangerous politicians and possible usurpers, win over the people, lead country to its most prosperous period yet, only real difference is the occuria were real while jupiter, mars and apollo aren't

It had an actual interesting world instead of a few random silly villages and towns like FFs before X... Then does fucking nothing with it

It's fine. I'd call it squarely middle of the road by the standards set by other games the franchise. It's one of my favorite FFs because of the world and gameplay though.

most people won’t make it towards the end of 12 which is a shame because it has some of the best boss fights in the franchise imo

If you can handle everybody being the hero of their own story, it is one of the best games in the series and one of the best RtwP combats.
