I fully agree and predict that there will never be a Final Fantasy as bad as XII with its pseudo deep political story, with the worst VA I have ever witnessed and its boring main characters.

You cannot be serious about any of this. XII had the most straight-up political story in the whole franchise, the best voice acting I have ever heard in a game, and the characters were straight out of a good book.

Too bad I never finished FFXII. I would have liked to form a good opinion on the game itself. I might get to finish FFXII if I ever get the chance. Khuutra, what do you mean by "the characters were straight out of a good book" and what did you think of the main characters in previous FF games?

 

As in the character development for the FFXII cast was more akin to the development of characters in Western literature, with a much smaller focus on flashbacks than in most JRPGs. They abandoneed the trope of characterization through backstory, and change happens in characters without being driven into your skull via a jackhammer.

I think I can sum it up by saying that Kain Highwind and Celes Chere are probably my favorite Final Fantasy characters when it comes to the old games. I hate the cast of FFVII, though Barrett is made good from the confrontation with Dyne alone.

In other words, you are saying that the characterization is more subtle and that the characters are driven by events in the present and not what happened in the past, right?
