    Colbert Basch is Boss

    Basch is really one of my favorite characters in this game, he even edges out Balthier for me, I mean he's stoic, takes the trout given to him with dignity and some of the first scenes with him involve watching him cut down a whole platoon of guards and then performing a Quickening to blow up scout class airship. So this thread is dedicated to the awesomness that is Basch!

    I like him as a character.

    I loathe him for his lack of fashion sense.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I honestly like his oufits. Considering some of the other questionable fashion designs in Ivalice...

    They've censored that for the western release, aren't they? ;_;

    The TA, TA2 and Bravely Default pics are not Yoshida art, Wolf. The character designs for TA and TA2 were done by Ryoma Itou. And it's true that Yoshida did design the main cast of BD, but most of the job outfits are done by other people. And while I'll agree that the arcanist outfit is abysmal, your ignorance really surprised me, Wolf. Shame

    On topic, I like how he's essentially the Matsuno protagonist in this game. He is humble, focused on finding the truth, not matter how hated he becomes in the process.

    Well, crap my bad, I always assumed it was him cause Yoshida usually gets top billing for the artwork but you are right.

    I fixed the post to better reflect my intentions.

    Balthier is still the best dressed of the group.

    I do like Basch for his stoicism, I just can't stand his running animation. I don't know if it's just me but he runs like a robot.

    Don't you dare insinuate that the Ivalice of the Tactics Advance games is the same Ivalice as the original Tactics or FFXII ever again.

    But yeah, Basch is a pretty damn great character. I've actually been thinking about giving XII a replay lately, and one of the main reasons was because I just want to run around as Basch killing things and being awesome.

    It's true, tho. Whether you like it or not, that's just how it is.

    How does XII fit in with FFT if the FFTA games don't?
