Ever since Final Fantasy IX the series struggled to get to the same levels of love and adoration that the earlier entries received. I myself only recently got over myself to check Final Fantasy X (in it’s HD form) to discover that it was better than I originally gave it credit. XI and XIV are solid MMOs, but due to the massively multiplayer nature don’t get necessarily the same audience who loves the series for the singleplayer stories and characters. XIII was a hot mess. And XV, while enjoyable, turned out to be a bunch of cool but rough ideas, which sometimes combined into something fun, but almost as often fell apart. There was one game, however, that I did play about 10 years ago, highly enjoyed my time with it, yet, when it was time to beat the last boss of the game, got tired and decided to return to it sometime later.
Well, sometime later is now. And replaying Final Fantasy XII in its The Zodiac Age remastered version on PC was far more enjoyable than I expected.
