I had grown up on the original Nintendo and loved the Zelda series ever since.  I had never gotten into Final Fantasy at all until Final Fantasy XII (FFXII) was recommended by a friend at work.<\/p>\n<p>I asked for it for Christmas, and of course, my wonderful wife got it for me.  I&#8217;ve been working on the game ever since (mainly while Kylah&#8217;s working) and I have been completely amazed.  The story is engaging (follows a Star Wars-esque theme in some ways).  The character development is incredible for a video game.  The graphics were awesome, even still on the PS2.  The gameplay is innovative yet challeging.  Music and cutscenes helped set the mood throughout.<\/p>\n<p>The game has a complete re-playability, one of the things I loved about the Zelda series; the ability to go back after time and replay the game.  When I do come back and re-do FFXII sometime, I will use a guide of some kind and do all of the side quests as I&#8217;m sure I missed a ton of them.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never been amazed by a video game such as I have with this.  If you have a PS2 and like RPGs at all (even just a little), I completely recommend this game.<\/p>\n<p>WOW!!!<\/p>\n<p class=\"facebook\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=https:\/\/spencer.stantonfamilyonline.com\/blog\/2007\/02\/09\/best-video-game-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spencer.stantonfamilyonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-facebook-plugin\/facebook_share_icon.gif\" alt=\"Share on Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WOW!!!<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s all I can do to explain the very best video game I&#8217;ve ever played.
