I'm playing through the game again right now but I gotta admit, the party is quite dull.

In fact, the only reason I got through the game was because of the Imperial side. Gabranth, Larsa, Cid... They made it all worthwhile.

Hell, every scene with a Judge is bound to be one of the best scenes in the game. Compare that with most of the forgettable scenes that center on just the party.

Not that I don't like the heroes. I liked Balthier fine. Fran was usless though.

But my point is, this game relies a lot more on the antagonists than the protagonists to keep me interested.
