I've been openly critical of Final Fantasy XIII but even I bought a new ps3 copy of it (granted it was like $11 for the original black label, non-greatest hits version) Why would I buy it? Because as much of a mess as FF13 was, it is still an enjoyable game with some great music, and memorable characters. FF12 is much the same way for me, I don't consider it to be very good by FF standards but I would play an HD remaster and I would probably enjoy it, the music, the characters, etc. I haven't played Xenoblade Chronicles because it costs hundreds of dollars due to the artificial shortage created by not printing very many copies of it in the US.
