What is it about the story that has you enthralled so?Originally Posted by Kawaii Ryűkishi
Personally, I didn't really have any interest in futhering the plot much, apart from the side bit with (SPOILER)Balthier and Dr. Cid. Aside from that, (SPOILER)the whole Basch/Vaan/Gabranth thing never got paid off, and the main plot of Ashe seeking vengence never got off the ground. For me, there wasn't a driving issue that kept the plot moving, and the only villians who got much of a chance to shine were (SPOILER)Bergen and Dr. Cid. There were only maybe one or two points in the whole game where I felt 'if I don't win this battle the world is going to come to an end,' and you could count the number of epic moments on one hand. In my opinion, Final Fantasy games should be huge in scope and emotion, not driven by political drama. Apart from Fran and Balthier, I don't really think any of the other characters have staying power; Ashe is too glum and none of the others got any time to shine (why was Penelo there again?).
Even with all that, I still think FFXII is a great game, but to cite it's plot as a plus...I don't get it.
