Summary
The game is Final Fantasy 12 — a swan song for PlayStation 2 when it was released in 2006. With its hugely flexible Gambit system of party commands, FF12 staged real-time tactical combat. It’s one of the most elegant and satisfying video game combat systems ever devised. In this week’s Daily Discussion, we look at the role of the internet in the world of gaming. This week, we’re looking at the impact of the social media age. The appeal of playing FF12 through Gambits isn’t that easy to articulate. It’s almost akin to a sports sim like Football Manager in how it makes the player feel. It also removes much of the stress and busywork from playing a party RPG. Final Fantasy 12 is available to play on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Windows PC, and Xbox One. It is also available for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers until May 21.
