I like to consider XII an imperialistic political drama with the underlying theme of humanity's (or rather, humes') emanicipation from divine intervention. I hesitate to refer to the Occuria as...

Most of what the Occuria had to say. Pure poetry, even though they were meddling monsters.

I love that line of Judge Bergan's! Which part of the game is it from, again?

The whole FFXII cast confuse me with their ages, with the exception of Vaan and Penelo who look realistically 17, and Basch who does look to be in his middle to late 30s.

I agree about Balthier. I...

It's a bit stereotypical, so no.

I think this is why I love XII so much. It's so much more like playing a literary epic than just playing a game. I'm a literature major at uni with more than a passing interest in history so XII was...

I find Vayne and Larsa's relationship very interesting and endearing. Even though Vayne was power hungry and apathetic to the woes of the general populace, I really do believe he wanted to pave a way...

The Judges are cool, but Larsa was my favourite. Such a smooth talking, noble kid! I only wish he was a few years older. :|

I didn't finish it and I probably won't, because of the same reason you've outlined here. After the epic that was FFXII, I couldn't get used to the cartoony caricatures of Vaan & Penelo. Why did they...

I doubt that this has anything to do with it... its more likely that because the popular body shape for women is tall and skinny, Lightning and Vanille were designed in line with that (well, the...

If he was really ill then obviously he didn't want to leave, but had to for his health. You can't begrudge him that. If it was because of internal strife with the workers at SE though, then yeah,...

I don't think Vanille is as annoying as her voice is. I would have liked her more if her VA wasn't required to make her sound like a four year old. Otherwise she was just quirky and cute, nothing too...

I am wondering if anyone can clear this up for me.

I tried a Google search on the name Balthier because I was curious about its origins, but the only results I got were related to FFXII. I thought...

Oh! That's such an excellent example of how a game doesn't need "character development" in order to invoke affection for the characters. Shadow of the Colossus, too - I was wrecked at the end of...

I really like what you've said here. I am not sure where people get this idea that in order for a story to be good, it must reveal as much as possible about the characters so as to evoke an emotional...

It's written in my FFXII game manual that her brothers taught her to fight. I imagine if they had included her dancing in the game she could have fought a bit like River from Firefly; sort of a...

For me it was the little moments. One that really got me was Penelo comforting Larsa after the fight with Vayne. It was such a short moment but her gesture spoke volumes about the friendship they'd...

What the, how did I miss this?!

I'd like to live in Ivalice. I love the desert/Arabian culture of Dalmasca, and the Archadians seem pretty cool too... the architecture is beautiful, the weather is nice (except in the Westersand,...

No, I was confused by your comment, but I wasn't thinking of Rasler. It was this part of your statement that confused me:



As Reks dies/is rendered comatose in the introduction sequence I was...

I find XII hilarious. There's lots of little interactions between characters that are witty and cute. My recent favourite moment is when Larsa leaves Lhusu Mines after partying with Vaan & co to...

Do you mean Vaan? This considering, y'know... Reks lost his life in the opening scenes.

Urgh thankyou. I share the same thoughts on Hope's attitude and development. And honestly? If one can admit that having your mother die in front your eyes, while still being a child who needs her is...

Wait, you're right... her thigh is bigger than her chest!!! What the![/QUOTE]


she's standing at an angle, but her hips are quite wide anyway, so are Penelo's[/QUOTE]

I noticed this in...

Didn't they re-design her face after this? I recall her other CG artwork, of which there are two versions: one with this face and another with a totally different, more mature Ashe who resembles...

Well, that's a very narrow definition of the ways a gamer interacts with a game.

I like the gambits because I enjoy managing the behaviour of my party, so that later in battle I don't have to. I...
