not opening the chests will make the zodiac spear appear in a certain location 100% of the time. if you made the mistake of opening some of the chests (or maybe all of it), there's still chance you'll get it, but it's a very low chance at some hidden location.

I just bought it a few days ago and i love it! It takes Square-Enix's RPG games to a whole new level. Yea the Zodiac Spear is great. But take note when you start a new game, try to find the quickenings on the license board Quickenings really help.

I like it alot, you can customize roles for your chars, and the main ones are still there such as tanks, mage, and dps. The equips kinda go for that as well, but they could have given leather more bonuses other than just hp, like speed or something.All in all a very good game, but has anyone else heard this? Rumors are that the FF7 remake is gonna have a similar battle system to XII, is this true or more internet gossip?

if that is so, it will be on PS3 for sure :'(and if you have seen some screen from FFXIII it definitely familiar with FFXII battle system

This game is awesome! Battles are more fun, story is good, its not some constantly chasing after, trying to defeat a supervillian. The characters actually know about their past or what happened to their family!:unsure: The story is brilliant there is more of a feeling that the characters aren't DBZ characters, meaning they aren't super powerful and the whole world doesn't feel useless.

I bought the game, it's a big disappointment, the battle system seems to call for stratagy but there is no stratagy involved. story is kinda nice though.

Aboslutely awesome... if you can squeeze your way through the first 3 hours or so. The story line is enveloping and although the world is not particularly new it's current state is. The characters are all given early and are well developed throughout the game. The new combat system keeps you active and thinking fast, and although the required boss fights aren't push-me-to-the-limits, neither are they push-overs. There aren't as many side quests as I would have liked although the primary story line more than made up for that.

The game's battle system is that of a MMORPG, in other words it's an online game without the other players. The story is rather straightforward some of the bosses are way to difficult for when you have to fight them such as;SPOILER YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!the fight against White Mousse is ridiclous until you're at least lv40+ and even then it is still difficult because there are 2 lv40+ Malboros and a lv40+ Gigantoad tht will join the fight if you aren't careful (even reaching the area is difficult if you aren't at least lv 45!) and yet you recieve White Mousse as a mark extremely early on and he is necessary to get a lot of the secret Espers as his quest MUST be completed to reach them.

@shadowrex: Haha, I totally agree with you. After Larsa left with his potions, I had to get used to healing myself again. =(I thought exactly what Calornae did; this game plays a lot like an MMO. It was a tad easy, though, contrary to popular belief. I ran into the Necrohol and stole the Zodiac Spear at level 33 or so. It's not that hard; just have Libra, Protect, Shell, etc. The story was good, but I really didn't like Penelo. Yuck. And the final fights were too easy, some of the Espers are harder than the final boss was.All in all, I think this game was a success. I don't think what everyone was complaining about: it's a large game, and it's got great gameplay and a good story. This new style of battle reminds me of Vagrant Story, which is a good thing. It's kinda like Diablo; you point, and click, except it's an entire party you're directing now, and you get to set a series of AI statements. Sure, it requires more planning and thinking, but it also gets rid of the whole "jam on the confirm button so you can bloody well get rid of the enemies and move on with life." No; with this system, you could walk through 3 maps without doing anything but tilting the joystick to keep the characters moving.

Yes acculy you can just move threw the maps by just using the joy stick, all you have to do is set on gambits like, ally:any arise, ally:any: esunaAlly: 40% health curga, Enemy:Flying: telekensis, Enemy: nearest Visible: Attack.

The game is great, although the battle system is very different it really makes the battles go faster and you don't have to be switching from battle screen to the normal map all the time, it makes you want to explore everything. I was a bit skeptical at first but the game really is something...!!

all of you can swallow your words now, cuz this game was amazing. From the gameplay down to the storyline, this ranks up there with the best FF's of all time. Square redeemed itself for christal chronicles by making this game

The new fighting took some getting used too, but it did make the game fun. And the storyline really grabbed me.I'd give FF12 a 9/10.
