It took me almost 3 months of play, but I finally did it. There's an ample amount of side content for me to get around to after I take a several months, maybe a year or two break from it. But FF12 was pretty great! As my only proper completed FF to this point was 10, I gotta say... I loved 12's world building and setting a lot more than Spira! 12's greatest quality doesn't just lie in the gambit system, but Ivalice is wonderfully constructed as a setting.

My only flaws with it are that it drags on quite a bit and that some characters, namely Penelo, aren't written well. But FF12 kept me pretty engaged throughout. It makes me eager to revisit Trails in the Sky almost, as I never did finish FC and want to give that one a shot, now that I've gotten my fill of another slow burn political story. But that's a whole other ballpark to commit to. I've got Firelink Shrine to revisit in Dark Souls 3 and Gotham to tackle in Arkham Knight.

in reply to @DasAntihero's post:

FFXII is such a rad game. I highly recommend checking out the other Ivalice Alliance games like Tactics and Vagrant Story. There are also the two direct sequels and you can see Vaan become a full fledged Sky Pirate at the end of it.

IMO Final Fantasy Tactics is just as important to the series as any of the mainline entries. It gives a new perspective on what it means to be a Final Fantasy game in both it's narrative and it's gameplay. (definitely recommend having a guide/faq for it though).

I've been interested in both Revenant Wings and Tactics A2. Just haven't had a working DS until recently. 😅
