Does anyone feel that the Espers in this game felt, I dunno, tacked on? As well being near-useless in battle, they had hardly anything to do with the plot. I liked how they went back to the FF6/FF9 style of them being magical creature/god/angel/things, but they didn't fit very well with the overall plot of 'Saving Dalmasca' ('cause face it, the Occuria/Nethicite storyline was horribly underutilized and didn't mesh very well). Then again, it may be part of the overall problem regarding the magical elements feeling out of place, IMHO.
So, Espers in XII, yay or nay?
