It's been a while since the FF series departed from the romance theme that's been going since VIII, and I must say -- it needed a break. Enter: FFXII. Some thought it was one of the best FF outings around, others say it was one of the worst. Not only did the romance disappear, the battle system was changed to an MMO type. Some say the characters aren't even memorable. Regardless, FFXII presented a different side, and it was refreshing. Combat is surprisingly fluid, voicework is incredible, and the story is intriguing. There are numerous sidequests around that will keep you playing for more than 100 hours. If you loved FFX, chances are, you'd hate this... mostly.
