could this be the best final fantasy?

... as far as the storyline it seems to be for the more intelligent crowd no effence to anyone. but if i was young and playing this game i coudlnt imagine likeing the story. but since im older and know a good deal more as far as government and polotics which is what this game revolves aroundm, it makes the story incredibly interesting. its nice to see a change from a love story to a political story.

Well, as part of the "more intelligent" crowd I can tell you that the political intrigue in XII is like vanilla: way over used and done much more flavorful elsewhere.

When you get a bit older you will realize that this kind of political intrigue has been written hundreds, if not thousands of times and by much better authors such as Alexandre Dumas, Shakespeare and others. Heck even in real life and more recently we have better: Lawrence of Arabia's story is much better. Hopefully you will read them one day, since you like the theme. I myself don't dislike it, but I am a bit tired of it, because we're living it in Iraq and we are the Archadians, not the good guys. And our "Lord Vayne" isn't nearly as smart but just as insane as the XII one

ok i know the objective in the game is always the same basically stop the empire stop vayne. and i know that when it comes to books and maybe some video games i have not yet played that polotics are done to death in them. but i mean as far as final fantasies. i mean tactics was quite political but anyway... i dont really like to read books i get bored easily even though i know theres a lot of reading in videogames its not the same to me.

final fantasy XII is actually a more complexed pollitcal story then people may realize. the way vaan and everyone talks in the game makes it sound like a dalmasca vs archadia war. but thats not really ther case at that point in the game. its a rozarrian/resistance group vs archadian even though rozzarian empire isn't brought up much (thats from where i am at in the game im at ancient city giruvegan). theres a lot of confusion with ondore and whose side hes on at times. theres the betrayal in the archadians, two sons with different objectives, vossler and his side on the matters at hand. the senate and there pollitical stand on things. the judges and whats happening with them. im trying not to give any spoilers.

anyways if oyu look at every aspect of the pollitics in the game then its interesting and kinda complex. if you look at it in the sense that well all in all its about takeing down vayne then i can see why people woiuld think the story isnt complex or even that interesting.

by the way i in no way consider myself of high intelligents so dont think i was trying to put myself above anyone anyone whose been on fire as many times as me by there own actions is in no way smart i just dont think a younger crowd would like this game is all cause i dont think i would if i was a lot younger then i am now.
