They are like offsprings of the previous FF characters you know! And you sort of see their predecessors's personalities shine thru them too :)
Look at the stars, look how they shine for you.

Actually, the thing I enjoyed the most story-wise while playing the game was that actually, their characters depart slightly from what we were used to in previous FF - they never really conform to clichés. If anything, they are probably closer to FF IV - FF VI characters, rather than FF VII-FF X ones, but even that's limited. And the story itself certainly has little to do with what Square has proposed since FF VII....
(SPOILER)If Vaan plays a similar role than Tidus in the team, that of the cheerful youg guy - but the comparison stops there - Ashe is in no way like Yuna. She isn't nearly as quiet or soft-spoken, quite the contrary, LOL And unlike Yuna, she is plagued by doubts from the beginning about what she must do. Also, another difference is that, while Yuna, at the beginning of the game, knows little about life, Ashe already has experienced more than a 19 y.o. should
Is ffXII a sequal to ff XI ot i can go ahead % play this game.
I'm asking because i never played ff XI
PLease let me know txs
No, FFXII is not a continuation of FFXI.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
A guy's the main character again? Jeez. Has a girl ever been the main character? I know one will be in FF13, but still . . .

Final Fantasy VI.
CorrectionThe Garif lives in Ozmone Plains and their base is Jahara.No problem.Thanks for that update al-bhed, I had no idea there was going to be that many races in the game. How come nothing is mentioned about them in the official FF XII website?Not to mention:
The Oquiela
The Baknamus
The Garif
The Helga
The Rebe
And the Ultan Yensa...
My guess is because they aren't that common around Ivalice.And they only appear in indivual areas.For example:
ZOMG!!!!11!!!1Spoilers about the Lesser Races
The Oquiela-The immortal gods of Ivalice.
The Baknamus-Live in the ruins of the fallen fortress,Nabduis.
The Garif-Live only in the Giza Plains
The Helga-Tall,silver haired elves with spiritual connections.I don't even know much about them...
The Rebe-Assistants to the Judges of Galtea (Ivalice via FFXII)
Ultan Yensa-Thin,cat-like,arrogant race.Known as the "Kings of the Sandseas" and live only in the Ordailian deserts (Nham and Ogir Yensa Sandseas)
I think?The Bhujerban and the 'Omisacian' (Mt. Bur Omisace people) might be a race because they have weird words: Bhadra, Sainikah, Paijijanah, Kiltias and a lot more.
Nu Mou is not alone!!!!!!!There are Nu Mous, there's a lot of them in Omisace. They are mostly called Acolyte. The most popular Nu Mou is Ma'KenRoh, Montblanc assistant.

Well,I haven't even played the game!(Just 14 more days...)I was just going by what i've found out so far.Thanks for the correction!
i'd definitely agree with being jaded about how characters through the series have started to look like clones of each other. though i'm not sure about the personality links.

squall + blonde hair = tidus = vaan
zell = wakka
edea = lulu
quistis = rikku (ish)
tifa = rinoa = garnet = yuna
vincent = auron
rufus = seifer
red XIII = khimari
laguna = vayne
its only really FF9 (excluding garnet) that has had any original character design since FF6
Ok, admitting to be extremely retarded, is this a spinoff of the FFT series? and is the battle system similar too? Just some simple questions... I pre-ordered the game and still, I know nothing.
"Everything has a purpose. It's your life's mission to find yours."
no it's more like a 1-player offline version of FF11.
No and no. And no (as in no, you're not retarded, LOL). It's related to FFT in the sense that it also happens in Ivalice, but either in a "parallel world" Ivalice, or far earlier in time than FFT (this is still a matter of debate, including on these boards, but the developpers of the game haven't been clear about that). It's also basically the same team behind the two games, at least originally (Matsuno left before FF XII was completed).
FF XII is a classic RPG based on ATB, like most previous FF (and unlike FFT and FFTA which are both Tactical and turn-based), although it is different in many other aspects of the gameplay from all previous console FFs (but has similarities with FF XI, hence Paul's answer
Okay, thanks. Can you tell me the similarities? My parents are Nazis and won't let me have FFXI so I know nothing of that either. I'd buy it, but I can't get a job.. (Darn child labour laws!)
"Everything has a purpose. It's your life's mission to find yours."
ok its like this.
there's no world map. if you leave a town and have to cross a desert for example, then what you'll actually have to do is run across a big smurfoff desert and it might take a while.
there are no random battles. you will see enemies onscreen while you travel. some of them will attack you if they see/hear/smell you or whatever. some won't, but you can still attack them if you want.
in battle, you only control one character, and the other two are controlled by automatic intelligence routines that you have already setup yourself.
but you can switch between your characters any time you want.
characters automatically attack, but you can bring up the normal menu any time you want (which freezes the battle) and choose things like magic, summon or whatever else.
i think that covers the gist of it. oh yeah and the story is kind of similar to FFT in that it's about war and politics rather than love.
Ah okay, so the gameplay is similar to that of Kingdom Hearts in the sense that it's real-time battling. Alright thanks! This may be enjoyable aftter all.
