I guess I really haven't gotten far enough in to XII to comment on the story. I'm not usually a fan of political-type stories, but I'll take that any day over "Omg i once was teh lonar but tehn I met u Rinowa adn now eye am a nice guy lawls!"
Like, maybe it's just me, but I play FF for the epic 'save the world' stuff. I can tolerate a -leetle- bit of a love story- I liked how they did it in VII, where it most definitely was not the main focus of the story, but VIII just.. blergh. It turned me off of the series up until XII because everyone kept saying how fun the battle system was and assuring me that Vaan was not nearly as annoying as Squall (which I am greatful for).
I find it kinda funny that XII was the first one (I'm not counting XI since.. it's an MMO, not Final Fantasy) that Nomura didn't have a big influence in and it's getting such high marks from everyone. We'll see how XIII measures up...
