I find that it's too slow though; I'd prefer a Kingdom Hearts sort of battle system. Nevertheless, I'll give it a chance (when Super Paper Mario stops consuming my soul) and see if maybe the plot and characters can carry it along for me.
It's a bit of a change from normal FF storyline fare. For one, character development is really scaled back, much to my dismay. Rather than focusing the story around the members of your party, the game focuses more on the world and the events occuring in it. Character development was always my favorite part of FF, and while it present in XII, it's greatly sacrificed so the game can focus on the overlappign story arc.
Not a bad thing to day about it though, in hindsight. Truly an amazing game. But beware the Pharos at Ridorana. *shudder*
