XII is the single most boring, lifeless RPG I've ever played with the worst story and the worst characters ever. Though it occassionally had some brilliant moments and the battle system was fun, I really think it was amongst the most torturous games I've ever played.
Case in point, there are 2 characters on your party (ashe and penelo) that never speak to each other one time in the entire game despite being on a fucking 60 hour quest. Talk about character progression!
But yeah XII is terrible, though not as bad as II or VIII.
