Where is the love story gone? You mean we have to settle for Ashe's love of Dalmasca!!!After Squall & Rinoa & then Cloud & Aeris/Tifa I'm expected to swallow that. The potential in FFXII for a love story was sorely wasted. You can't deny Ashe had more than Knight/Queen feelings for Basch & he for her with his reaction to her letter. She also displays feeling Balthier but again no development. Was Balthier & Fran meant to be our love story then? And of course Vaan & Penelo, are we supposed to believe that partners meant partners in crime but then you consider Penelo seem to have a thing for Larsa. Final Fantasy always had some kind of love story but FFXII what happened?
