yeah... so i like test played ffxii yesterday. graphics were better than i remembered. seriously awesome jaw dropping shit. the whole feel is... different. not what u usually expect in FF games with ppl in modern-looking outfits with sci-fiesque buildings casting magics and whacking with swords.
only thing i can describe it as is star wars meets lotr. u have huge tie-fighter vs x-wings battles over the city ala revenge of the sith and on the ground, millions of human and the elves are pummeling millions of orcs on a grnad scale... but definitely not in a warcraft way. if ur thinking along the lines of "two towers" then u more or less got it.
gameplay... at least so far without the gambit system factored in yet... is more traditional than i expected. its the same old ATB but now u can have a run and gun system to conserve hp. u dont really just put ur conroller down and watch the game masturbate. u actually have to actively input commands... so yeah "intuitive ai".
as of the 2 hrs ive played... im seriously hating the maps and camera angles. the view is myopic with stupid buildings always blocking ur way and the minimap is confusing... especially since there is not option to invert camera controls so it is not the "shadow of the colossus" camera controls which i prefer but edmond's preferred "gta" camera controls.

Why is there a picture of some boats here? It's because I'm too lazy to link another picture. First I'd have to find a pic which is the right size,
then I have to upload it. Then I have to hope the pic stays there and doesn't get deleted from the image hosting website. Bah leave it as a boat. I'm too lazy to change it.
