I made peace with the FFXII story in that last thread(name escapes me at this present moment). But in saying that. The plot in this story suffers from the lack of an outright main character. At first I thought it was to take the same story format FFVI took when you get given pieces of story about each character from time to time as the story progresses but it was not to be. At the same time with the lack of originality in the main story one needs to look to the back story of Ivalice for your story enjoyment in FFXII. Reading through the Bestary as you add new monsters especially the Marks & Espers you read about things not relivant to the actual plot but they are far more interesting.

Aside from that I'm looking forward to reading the debate that seems to be erupting here though.
