I’ve been playing Final Fantasy XII for a little over a month now, and overall I’ve really enjoyed the game. But now that I’m getting to the end of the game, I’m starting to like it less and less. I’m discovering that the treasure system is really stupid! For example, I spend hours running around unlocking these gates to get to the zodiac shield in the great crystal.. after hours of searching, looking up maps online, running back and forth, I finally managed to get to the room where this treasure was supposed to be.. only when I get there, the room was empty.. no shield.. no chest.. nothing.. I ran in and out hoping maybe it would spawn, but it never did.. I’ve about had it with the randomly appearing treasures in this game! It’s not fun running into a room, finding the treasure isnt’ there, and then resetting the console to try again! what were they thinking when they made this? does anyone else think the treasure system in this game is just downright stupid?
and don’t get me started on the stupid zodiac spear! how the heck is anyone supposed to know they aren’t supposed to touch certain chests early in the game? there were no warning signs or indications.. I didn’t look in my guidebook at the beginning of the game because I think it’s fun to discover things on my own.. but what I discovered was that I already screwed myself out of any hope of ever getting the best weapon in the game.. nice.. when I first started playing this game, I loved it.. I would’ve given it a 10/10.. now I think it’s possibly my least favorite final fantasy game..
