Aye, you did. You should have written it, not the lame guys who did it

Hell, listening to his past and how he killed his older brothers to become the next successor gave me the impression that he's a little more than the conniving schemer we are led to believe. I mean his assassination of his father could have been done more cleanly and he also would have found another, less "flamboyant" way of gaining the nethicite instead of taking over two countries. He's intelligent but also arrogant.

Deep down, I think it all comes down to how we choose to see the story. I strongly believe that FFXII is game that gives as much as you are willing to put into it. Also, thanks for the support people! I hope my posts have been at least somewhat insightful.
Interesting take about Vayne... I don't agree in this one, alas! He is very inconsistent IMHO, at first he invites Miguelo to drink with him and makes Imperial Guards be nice to the people in Rabanastre, then (SPOILER) he is telling his cruisers to fire above the city regardelss of the innocent lives it will kill. It's like someone with Multiple Personality Disorder... :rolleyes2

Yes, it was very insightful and made me appreciate the game a bit more. I don't dislike the plot archs and ideas but I still think execution was dismal!!! Like you said, it takes effort - tons of love for the game - to "read" the story as it should have been told.

You seen to write good and enjoy FFXII. Want to take my FFXII writing challenge ?
