FINAL FANTASY XII was one of my first games i played on the Ps2 and since then have spend close to one thousand hours in the world of Ivalice on Ps2, Ps4 and now on the Steam Version. To this day its both my favorite Final Fantasy game and favorite game of all time.

• Stable Port, didn‘t encounter any crashes or fps drops.
  
• Awesome Soundtrack. Lets you choose between original and remastered Soundtrack. Here are some examples of my personal favorites : Esper Battle, Rabanastre, Phon Coast, Golmore Jungle
  
• Enganging Story with interesting characters
  
• Ivalice. Probably the best world setting i’ve ever seen in any game. Each area feels unique.
  
• Endgame. Lots of hunts, secrets and Superbosses to take care of.
  
• The Battle System. It lets you run around freely in the world so you can freely engange enemies without it having you teleport to a separate area (like the older turn based FF games). With the Gambit System you can ‚program‘ the actions of each character. It lets you set several conditions and actions. For Example: If you have a condition ‚Characters Health > 70%‘ and an action ‚Cure‘ the characters will automatically use Cure on a character with less than 70% health. There are a lot of Gambits you can choose from according to your play style. But Gambits aren’t fool-proof so there are fights were you need to intervene manually.
  
• 12 jobs to choose from, each character can have two
  
• License board lets you buy the right to use a Weapon or Skill with License Points (LP)
  
• Fast-Forward option lets you speed up the game 2x and 4x
  
• New ‚Fieldmap‘ so you dont have to go into the menu to loop at the map
  
• New Game + and New Game – (lowlevel challenge run)
  
• New 100 Floor Trial
  
• Game is moddable, Nexusmods[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• Steam Achievements and Trading Cards

• Main Character, many would say that the main protagonist is straight up annoying and completely useless. The game’s story is told trough a ‚nobodies‘ point-of-view, were the actual protagonist to the story is someone else Ashe or Balthier/Basch in that case
  
• Ingame cheats as in Maximal Gil and LP. Would rate against this as it could ruin the game experience and make the game way easier.
  
• Removed intro cutscene when you launch the game

• After the Pc release the Switch and Xbox releases got new additional features including a Job reset function and an improved New Game +. These are currently not on Steam or Ps4 Version of the game and there is no word if they’ll come in future.
  
• Price may be a bit high for a 13 year old game.
  
• Denuvo

Yet another mediocre Square Enix launch in the past few months. This game still suffers from things that have been around since the Ps4 demo back in January 2018.

• Huge Roster of 34 characters from all 15 main titles + Tactics and Type 0
  
• Gameplay is very fun just like the old dissidia titles
  
• 17 maps
  
• The Soundtrack. Both original and rearranged tracks from all games
  
• Settings[imgur.com] Game runs alright for me at a staple 60 fps 1060 4gb, i5-8600, 16GB RAM
  
• Achievements Theyre pretty hard to complete
  
• Trading Cards

• Netcode. So the game uses a Peer-to-Peer connection meaning that if just one players has a trash internet connection all players in the lobby are gonna suffer and it ends up playing like a powerpoint presentation on a school computer from 2006
  
• Cheaters are already a thing and i doubt Square is gonna do anything against them
  
• Random crashes
  
• Very long queue times, takes around 2-3 to find a match and then you need to wait around another minute for the match to start
  
• Connectivity Issues[imgur.com] Already got kicked three times the second the games starts and then got a penality. Twice before the match even starts.
  
• Lack of gamemodes. So far the game only features 3v3 for both online and offline games against bots and no 1v1 like the original dissidia games.
  
• Story mode is just a bunch of cutscenes you have to unlock by playing online
  
• Even when turning off the voice chat and turning the voice volume all the way down to zero i can hear people for a couple of second when they join a match

I'll be happy to change the review to positive once Square fixes some of the problems, especially the connectivity problems.
