I'm just gonna ask this since I've talked about it in every FFXII-related topic here I post in.
Were you mainly enjoying the story because of the scenes with The Judges? I know I was. Every scene with the Emperor or Vayne or the Judges hooked me while most of the scenes with the heroes dragged and made me lose interest.
I really enjoyed the look into the villain side that this game brought and that villain side was the best part of the plot for me.
How about for you?
