Wait, how do FFXII and FFVIII connect? One is a spinoff of the other?
I just like good games. And I wish square enix the best, since I know they're people that put their lives into making games (on the developer level, anyway) despite the fact I haven't been crazy about all their recent updates to the FF series.
How many series in any medium have gone on as long as the FF series? It's kind of an interesting experiment to see how many fans they alienate and attract as time goes on.
*edit* just read all the posts... must have had that reply window open way too long. That'll teach me to go to the bathroom.
I really don't think Vaan and Tidus should be compared too closely, since if Vaan is a version of Tidus, he's a version that's become benign and vestigial -- he doesn't take too much of the spotlight from the other characters (making it more like FFVI,) and he really isn't that annoying... his voice actor is how many times better than Tidus'?
He's also not a clone -- personally it disturbed me more to see the FF7-like turn that FF9 took in the end, when it was going so well before that! (9 is still a great FF though, and one of the only ones to let you still fight with 4 or more characters at once , and to be multiplayer! Man, they need to try that again!)
