Trivia:

A Bangaa in Rabanastre mentions that his friend counted how many bards were at the fete, but says that he probably didn't include the "spoony bards." This is a reference to an infamous line from the English translation of Final Fantasy IV (Final Fantasy II on the Super Nintendo), in which the sage Tellah calls the bard Edward a "spoony bard." The line has since become a fan favorite and has purposely been kept in all of the English re-releases of Final Fantasy IV.

Opening & Ending Themes

Great Way to end up the PS2 Final Fantays series

Excellent! Bravo! Best game out there, i'd give it a 20 out of 10.

But this game took me 185 hours to beat! But I completed all of the side quests along with all the optional bosses etc. Probably 1/4 of that 185 hours was storyline.

I still remember the feeling of waiting for the game to come out, staying in my room playing 10 and 8, just thinking and wondering what the game was going to be like, then I got it and was thrown into a world of war and peace and kings and queens. Definitely the Final Fantasy that is apart from the others. You know what I mean FF fans, the other FF games are all corny and crap, then 12 comes in and it's about war and crap, which definitely made it better.

I loved the game play. No more random battles people! Thats a thing of the past man, they had to move on and they did! I was very happy. You could actually see the enemies in ADVANCE! The storyline was well thought out but It could of been better I believe.

Square Enix also had the time to make huge and extremely hard bosses. Take Yiazmat for example. A total of approximately 50 million HP, and doubles his level to level 146 when you almost kill him. Took me 5 hours to beat.

Well there you have it, reasons the game had gotten the best rank of the FInal Fantays series, all in a couple paragraphs.
