FFXII Story - A Homage to Star Wars ?

[LunarWeaver]

Well... I guess there are some similarities. It is true that when I reflected upon the story it went something like: (SPOILER)So... this is about a boy named Luke Vaan who lives on the desert planet Tatooine in the desert city of Dalmasca. He's an orphan, aww. His whole life has been turned into a pile of poop by the evil Empire and their highly feared Darth Vader Judges.

Luckily, Princess Leia Princess Ashe forms the Rebels Resistance to fight the evil Empire. She recruits Vaan to her cause. Along with Vaan comes a useless piece of garbage that follows him around for no reason named c3Po Penelo. They also meet up with the wanted man Han Solo Balthier and his non-human partner Chewbacca Fran. Those two are luckyluckypants because they own their own airship named The Millenium Falcon The Strahl. There's also a neat little guy that helps out sometimes named R2-D2 Larsa and a man who reveals the true story of things to Vaan named Obi-Wan Basch.

To take down the evil Empire, they first need some power. To get this power, they need to find restore some ancient stuff. They get themselves a lightsaber a magical sword from an old guy named Yoda The Gran Kiltias Anastasis and also learn how to wield The Force Nethicite. Along the way they recruit some help from Admiral Ackbar Marquis Ondore and form a solid plan.

To balance out all this dark drama, they threw in some cute ewoks moogles for good measure. And since nobody wants to be racist, there's also one black guy tossed in at the last second named Lando Reddas.

Once they have the proper power to beat the Empire, they head to the final battle at The Deathstar The Sky Fortress Bahamut, where they get help killing the Emperor when Darth Vader Judge Gabranth turns to their side but dies in the process.

Er, right. Well, that said... There are differences too. Probly. Anyway, I enjoy it enough, even if for addicting gameplay alone. Besides:

Sod off and stop being so picky or I'll cut your knackers off with a chainsaw.
