I mean, there are a few points I didn't really agree with (two things I'm always pretty militant about is that I think Vaan works great as a POV character and is in fact relevant to the plot and that there is no "blooming romance" between Ashe and Balthier, GOD!) but overall it sums up nicely how I feel XII influenced the genre and how sad it was that XIII followed up on virtually none of it. Smurf Toriyama for messing up a direction that was really going places. Should FF have followed on from that, considering how other successful RPGs later were similar to XII in many areas, perhaps FF would still be relevant in the gaming community outside our fandom instead of being the butt of everyone's joke. Here's hoping XV can turn things around.
I figured you would.
Loved the article!
Some light reading for you.
No worries.
I'll let you know once I start playing. Just left for work so I can't really check.
Doesn't sound too bad. What are your defensive skills?
Well, I'm using Gin, Mari and Amane. Both my character and Gin are physical, Amane's the magic damage dealer, while Mari's the healer. I can't remember all the skills, but I know Amane has blitzkrieg, my main has healer, and Mari has the one that heals MP on impact. I also remember Gin has Drain-Phys. My main has a Mithra and Koumoku, Gin has Zouchou and Kazfiel, Mari has Laksmi and Catoblepas, while Amane has Orochi and another Mithra
I'm trying to remember what I did. How is your team set up?
Yeah, I tried that yesterday and only got frustrated. The stupid Mithras that I have in my teams are just too weak
