ARGH! I'm one of those who dislike FFXII. Grind, visit dungeon, take random stone; grind, visit dungeon, take random stone. I don't know about sacrificing characterization for plot. It felt like an excuse to go sightseeing in their virtual world. So much of it can be just cut out if it weren't for the need to send the player ooh-ing and aah-ing at computer graphics.
I'm at the bit where they have to go through the Mosphoran Highwaste. I wanted to fast forward the game when I killed Tiamat. The only reason I'm playing is well, since I've gotten this far, I might as well finish the whole thing. And get all the marks. It's not a *difficult* game, and it's not really boring, it just never really gets me excited.
