Now no one may have understood what I meant, but this game seems -extremely- stiff and emotionless. -Yes- they do act like they have -some- kind of emotion, but it's normally put forth when something bad has happened to the -characters- and not really something that they may have seen or done that really has other association that something like "they were just convienently there at the time, so we have no real point on caring, we have things to do".

Other FF games if they walked into an ALREADY destroyed town the characters would be like "omg, what happened here" and normally there would be that one person in the party to suggest to find someone to find out more, which normally entails their want to help because they care and such.

I don't believe this game was made with the heart that the other ones were in, where you can actually connect with the characters in some human way as you could with the chara's of other games. I'm fearing that FFXIII may be like that too.
well i do have to agree it dos seem liek all the characters are rather heartless. but the way i see it is they all have there own problems that just outway the death of people they dont know. i knwo thats a very heartless self centered statement but thats kinda how they were portrayed to be. and the onyl reason why this doesnt really bother me is because they are in a war when someone is killed you ahve to keep moveing or you could be next. the onyl characters who should ahve been mourning too much anyways is ashe and basche. ashe is supposed to be fighting to revive her kingdom and save the people in it. basche is a knight of her kingdom and should feel the same. balthier is a wanted man he's jsut in this because well he doesnt like archadia very much. fran is an exile and partner to balthier. vaan and panelo are just kids. they act like kids. vaan is going for revenge where panelo jsut seems like shes there for vaan and because she sees good in larsa.

i do agree that they were a little heartless but for the most part it seemed rather justified, not so much for ashe though but she never really struck me as the nicest character anyways.
