It's a good game, a fun game, but where I expect FF to shine (personal opinion) it fails me. I am also a defender of X-2, though, the aspects of it that I find groundbreaking. I long for a job-based system for the next gen so bad. Single player, I mean. I like grinding as much as the next guy if not more (Hell, I'm an avid Disgaea fan, not to mention XI & XIV) but I'd really like to grind some jobs in Final Fantasy that don't take me 2 months to complete one job (like XI/XIV).
I wish they would open up Vanadiel more with a single player game, personally.
Anyway, FF12 isn't a bad video game, it's just not up to par with what I (personally) expect from Final Fantasy. I'm starting to feel I'm either not the target demographic of Final Fantasy (a JRPG lover... go figure?) or what Final Fantasy means to SE is different than what it means to me. That's ok, too, it just means I need to outsource.
