Bayonetta: "Yo Dante, take five!"

I don't trust Famitsu scores anymore... It's WELL KNOWN that Famitsu is purposely giving higher scores to games due to publisher pressure. Hell, even HAZE (that fuckshit of a game) got a 38/40... and we know how much that game sucked.

Maybe... or maybe the writers of Famitsu are wowed more easily now than ever before. Could also be a new set of editors have replaced the ones of old from years back.

Still I think some weight on those old 40s from days long ago retain their merit. It's not every day a game like Soul Calibur or Ocarina of Time come around and can achieve that kind of perfection.

FF XII is a great game, and one of the most underrated in the series. Let me go through just some of the things that make FF XII good.

-One of the best protagonists in the series(It's Ashe not Vaan, by the way)
-Very open-ended gameplay, for an FF game at least
-Excellent, and genuinely challenging battle system(Despite what people say, you really can't rely on gambits for everything, and you don't even get the good ones until late in the game)
-A story that isn't filled with teen angst
-AMAZING Hunt system and good sidequests in general
-Great enemy design(All Archadian soldiers/Judges look great as well as the various monsters and junk)
-Interesting summon acquiring system(Having to battle them, I mean)
-Challenging boss fights(Last boss, Cid, all Judges, Mandragoras, Ahriman, all Espers, Firemane, etc)
-Excellent music, some of the best in the series

Though, with all this said, it really doesn't deserve a perfect score. If it was the International version, however, I think a perfect score would be fine.
 
OK...get the FF and Famitsu bullshit, out of the Bayonetta thread... As an Attmept to revive this shit...

GUNCHUKS(Maxi, you are officially DEAD to me now.)
