general FF

[Hazzard]

I can definitely tell that W.K prefers thew old fashioned FF's, which are based in the olden days. Kingdoms, crystals and that usual mojo. I really enjoy those sort of FF's as well, and find myself getting more engaged in them, and that's why the first I-VI are all set in that sort of theme, and also XII. The others were good, but you always seem restricted from certain stuff in the worlds, except for the ones like XII, were you basically explore everywhere in East Ivalice.

Ashe is a (SPOILER)b**tch who abandons friends who save her life It might be more realistic, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

Besides, not even in RL people do it. I hear from my nephew and other friends in the military that friends in battle are friends for life.

PS: WK, where have you been ? I have been bashing XII with no rebuttal for weeks here. It's getting boring!

Well first off, your nephew and friends admitted at being in the military which is an institution that teaches you to work intimately with others to the point of thinking of yourself as a "team" rather than as an individual. So it's easy to understand the deep bonds formed there.

On the other hand, the cast of FFXII unlike most previous casts of FF was formed out of a mutual goal rather than trust. Half the games dialogue is mostly about how everyone is concerned about being betrayed by the others. The scene at the end of the Pharos and throughout till the ending is showing the player that the party finally accepts each other. But mostly I feel Lady Ashe's action is due to her professionalism rather than her being a bitch. But your free to hate her. I love her though, cause I can respect her unlike Yuna

If you want to see a lead character who is truly a bitch, look no further than Shion "Let's jeopordize the party for my own selfish and childish reasons cause I was raised to be treated like a smurfing princess" Uzuki of Xenosaga fame...

I rather liked the ending. (SPOILER)I can get over the whole Bahamut thing by believing that the Pharos was the final dungeon...which is did seem like, being 90 floors of hell and having a very climactic and cataclysmic battle at the top. But it seems that they just sorta forgot about Vayne and the empire until after they settled the Cid subplot, so they threw them in there at the very end. Or something like that. Still, I do like the ending. Everyone went their separate ways and just continued on doing what they do best, which is a rather realistic ending in comparison to other games in the series.

I didn't mean to be negative. as i said, i loved the game. i thought it was the best out of the ones ive played (VIII, X, X-2, KH, KH2, XII) but i just dont like the ending. altough it does leave the plot open for a sequel... (SPOILER)can we talk about Revanent Wings- without spoiler tags- without getting banned yet? Does anyone know much about the DS version of xii? like when its being released?*sigggh...*

I liked the ending, I loved how you got to see everything a year later and it was all happy, and the obvious planning for a sequel (I didn't need to know about revenant wings, it was obvious they were planning one), reassured me that this was certainly not the ending.
It was very heart warming, oh, and Penelo looked cooool.

The credits were the best credits yet, because they had concept art. I <3 concept art. Anyone know where I can find those pics on the intarwebz? I've looked everywhere...
