Which Espers did you assign to which characters and why?

My setup so far is

Ashe: Belias (Due to her link with Raithwall)
Fran: Mateus (Because of her final Quickening being ice-based)...

What's your favourite way of assigning summons? By which I mean do you prefer only one character to be able to summon, a summoner job that you can give anyone, having one summon assigned to each...

Sorry for bumping, but something else interesting I read- apparently, Vaan and Ashe were supposed to have a more familial relationship, giving him a reason to actually follow her around. Now I'm...

Yup. That makes him about 15 years younger than Basch, 6 years younger than Vayne and only five years older than Vaan, despite the fact he acts, looks and sounds much older. Personally, I think they...

Basically, which characters in any Final Fantasy game had you thinking that their official ages were highly innacurate, and what did you think their actual ages were.

For me:
Balthier (FFXII):...

Oh yeah. They leave you hanging right up until the top of the Pharos on whether Ashe is actually going use the Nethicite to destroy the Empire. I would have liked more conflict in the main party...

No problem. I personally like this sort of discussion, because the theme of 'good people doing bad things and bad people doing good things' was a strong theme in FFXII, although not strong enough....

Venat's fault maybe. It's established that Venat possessed Bergan and encouraged him to slaughter the population of Bur-Omisace becasue he really hates organised religion. As a rule, the Occuria all...

Only? They try to manipulate a very screwed up young woman into committing genocide. That's not very 'only' to me.

And we don't know enough about Raithwalls time to make any judgements. Ashe's...

I actually liked the cast a lot, although maybe because, having just had FFXII, a game where we spend a lot of time on the cast seemed like fresh air.

Lightning I thought was most boring, just...

The Occuria are massive dicks. No question. They want to destroy an entire empire, most of whose citizens are okay guys, because of the ambitions of, at most, three people. Vayne may have wanted to...

He's officially 12 but he certainly doesn't act like it.

The one thing that lacked about the Empire was, well, the lack of other Empire. I really did want to see Rozarria, rather than an entire...

I really liked it, because I have a thing for the Job system and it made up for what it lacked in plot and characterization by not taking itself seriously. AT ALL. Overall, a fun little game to play,...

I loved the Judges. All of them. They were the over-the-top characters in a game that demanded them.

X-2 by virtue of being the only one I've played. Also, it is fun as hell.

I'd like them to have a set-up similar to that of FFX-2. The game started with your characters as a roving set of sphere-hunters/do-gooders, so it didn't feel weird to be running around the world...

I enjoyed it. It felt faster, fresher and easier than other games. Also, the fact that if a character started doing something stupid then it was entirely your fault meant I couldn't yell at the game...

I think what seifer is trying to say is that, compared to the ratings of other Final Fantasy games, it isn't as good. For FF games I feel we hold them to a higher standard. Yes, FFXII is a lot better...

Pretty much. I actually really liked the characters, and thought that the premise, though a little cliche, could sprout something wonderful. Personally, I'm the type that gets into a story for the...

What it says on the tin. Do you like having a party that gets together relatively early and never changes after that, or goes through many permutations throughout the game.

Personally, in a story...

I'm gonna have to agree on this point. I remember about half-way through the game coming to the realisation that I didn't even know why I should want to defeat Vayne. Sure, he was in the way of Ashe...

Time for an all-girls hero line-up!

FF1:
Hero: Tricky one. Maybe a female Red Mage?
Villain: Like everyone else said, Astos.

FF2:
Hero: Maria, long range magic type
Villain: Leon. Duh.

I'm gonna have to agree on this point. I remember about half-way through the game coming to the realisation that I didn't even know why I should want to defeat Vayne. Sure, he was in the way of Ashe...

Vaan and Penelo exist because if they didn't, the whole of Ivalice would be sucked into a wormhole of seriousness and implode. Even Balthier's witticisms couldn't save them.

On a serious note,...

Is it ever stated where Landis is in-game? On the FFWiki it speculates that Balfonheim might be Landis' former capital, but I'm judging from the fact that there's no reaction from Basch when you go...
