I completely agree that the "characters" of FFCC are totally characterless. However, I do LOVE the setting. It's fascinating, the game really doesn't do it justice. (Hence my in-the-works fan fic.) But FFCC is a fun game in my opinion. There's quite a bit to do, and there is an underlying mystery aside from the whole "annual myrrh hunt." You get to develop your characters a reasonable amount, as well.

I also must say that I quite enjoy making up my own characters in my head. My ideal game is one in which I have complete control over my own character's personality, and the game-controlled characters actually have personalities. So FFCC gives me what I want in my characters, but not the others.

Plus there's the fact that it's the only FFCC game available to us poor NGC owners. (*sobs*)
