At least it had some sort of a story. Maybe in XII, they had better things to focus on then love? :/ I dunno.

The Lack of Romance - As Rydia pointed out, there have been quite a few Final Fantasies without a solid romance story. Even VII, despite all the bickering, there was no official pairing, even if some were strongly hinted at. They were left open to interpretation and preference, and I think XII has done the same thing. To me Vaan x Penelo, Fran x Balthier, and Ashe x Rasler were incredibly obvious. But that's me. I've even seen people say that the Balthier x Ashe pairing is as canon as XII pairings as it gets. I don't know, maybe Square Enix liked all the love triangle debates that VII generated and what interest in the game it brought, maybe they're doing it again who knows. But personally, I don't think a game needs a romance plotline to be a good game. I haven't read the whole thread and don't know if anyone pushed this arguement, but I've heard many a person complain about this since XII came out.
The Lack of Character Development/Storyline - This is one arguement I don't understand out of personal preference. To me, I don't like having everything spoon fed to me, I like some things left to imagination. I like to sit there and go "Oh, maybe they did this, or maybe they're this, or wouldn't it be awesome if this happened." That's one of the best things about a game to me and I liked that it adds some mystery to the characters because you can then go on to speculate. Sometimes it takes the fun out of things to have questions answered. Even then, personally I think there's enough story and character development even if we don't get every last detail. I can see where some people are coming from with this, but this is my personal thing anyway.
i dont know about you but it did have a bad storylineIt doesn't have a bad storyline. People just find the change a bit..daunting.
i dont know about you but it did have a bad storyline
Then do explain why it is so bad, considering you did say the game was not disappointing at all
The game strayed from the regular FF storylines, which was a brave thing to, and many people have welcomed that change. Some, obviously, can't get into the political side of things, and prefer the original, traditional themes.
Did you like any part of the storyline?
People also complained about the music - the music was beautiful, fitting
