I liked it.
I thought the gameplay was a step in the right direction. There's less downtime compared to traditional RPGs.
The story is fairly interesting. I liked the characters in FF12. They weren't outrageous beach-ball throwing meat head or bouncy boob goth chick like in FFX. Nor where they I-seriously-hate-every-single-one-of-these-characters-I'm-gonna-die-on-purpose-because-they-have-no-redeeming-qualities-whatsoever-where-is-the-/wrists-command like in FFVIII. The plot itself kind of fizzled at the end IMO - I thought the final boss was weak. Then again, the final boss in FFIX was weak too but it's still my favorite game.
Between 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12, I'd say it's maybe the 2-3 best game. They're all good games (except I hated 8).
To get an idea of whether we have the same tastes, I would rank them:
(best) 9, 6, 12, 7, 10, . . . . . . . . . . 8 (worst)
(I refrain from including anything 5 or below because they're too old to compare with modern games imo. Even 6 is iffy. The change in style between 6-7 is pretty significant.)
