    Default Who was your favorite Judge?

    The real stars of this game was the Archadian Judges but which one was your favorite. I have to go with the easy answer of Judgemaster Gabranth but I also have a soft spot for psychopath Judge Bergan and I also liked Judge Drace despite being unceremoniously executed before she got to do anything useful. I really wish they released the International Version because I would have loved to face the optional battle against all five Judges.

    I always found myself wishing Drace could have played a larger role. I found her to be a very interesting character in the five minutes that I knew her

    She was the only judge I felt any sort of real attachment to.
    While Gabranth may have been in charge of Larsa, Drace was the only one who seemed ot care about him. I was kind of hoping she was eventually going ot join the party or perhaps reveal herself during the final battle as still being alive and attack the bahamut with whatever kind of ship she had.

    Drace. Just for being the only female Judge.

    Ghis is number two, though, as I really think he could've been one of the candidates for the game's main villain over Vayne.

    I liked Drace as well, but Zargabaath is my favorite for the following reasons:

    1) He fits the noble demon archetype, which is one of my favorites.

    2) He's voiced by Simon Templeman, who voiced Kain in the LoK and Soul Reaver games.

    What else needs to be said?

    Drace seemed strangely juxtaposed with the others, having a heart and all that. I have to agree with everyone that she really should've had a larger role.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I'm going to add my bleating to the crowd and say Drace. I loved that she, like many characters in FFXII, was simply someone doing what they can in a tough situation. She seemed to be aware of how the world truly worked, and she highlighted the fact that nothing is simply black and white in this game.

    Having said that, Balthier .

    If it had been listed, I would have picked Ffamran, but I'll choose Zecht for similar reasons.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    Zargabaath for having a cool name and a judge with a heart, but Drace comes a close second.

    As a person? Probably Zargabaath, who really tries to do good. He also has a crazy name.

    As a character, though, Bergan was delightfully evil.

    Gabranth.

    Judge Drace was my favorite judge in Final Fantasy XII. I wish that they would have given her more scenes from her point of view before her untimely demise.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    Yeah, aside from Gabranth, the other judges were just cameos really.

    Noah fon Ronsenburg. Probably a cop out answer because I've spent many many more hours playing Dissidia than FF12 and don't really remember any of the other judges in that game.

    "You should feel ashamed!". I do, EoFF faithful, I do. Don't worry, I plan on giving this game a serious playthrough sooner rather than later.

    Plus how awesome is this:

    Dissidia 012: Duodecim - Gabranth vs. 000 Feral Chaos - YouTube

    On a side note, remember back when FF12 came out and everyones custom user title was "I'm Captain Basch!"? One of the things I enjoy about this game is all the inside jokes it created with the forum members.
