[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 3206021, member: 4275"] Eh, I didnt find the cutscenes that bad in this one, at least in terms of their length. I think there were several cut scenes in FF X, for example, that were longer. I just think these cut scenes feel longer because the story isn't quite as strong as FF X. I think FF XII is more about an action RPG gameplay experience, dungeon crawling and all. Depending on how you feel about that as a game experience will probably affect how you feel about the game. Still, I beat the game with a party of 50-55th level characters, which I had at about the 80 hour mark, so I think you could complete this game quite a bit more quickly if you just got tired of it. Also, directed to Don and others who aren't liking the cutscenes, you CAN skip them in this (hit the Start button and then hit X). I agree the story isn't as strong and was tempted to skip some of the long cut-scenes myself. I probably will skip them when I play it again. But having just spent 115 hours playing a game that I will definitely play again, it's hard for me not to say it's good :) I do agree with some of the points you're making though Don. Chuck [/QUOTE]
