XII had great gameplay and an amazing world with lots of freedom. The problem I had was there were what appeared to be 2 main characters that didn't seem to matter in any way, nor did I care about them (can you guess which ones? |
I know this will shock you, but that was by design. the original story had only the 4 main characters, but in early testing they found the more mature characters weren't vibing well with the younger or female demographics, so they added Vaan and Penelo as player surrogates, deliberately making them kinda ineffectual to give the player a sense of immersion by giving the other characters someone to explain the plot to, rather than explaining it amongst each other in an oddly specific expository way.
Though I agree, Vaan and Penelo are lame.

). Lots of depth to the story and world but the execution could have been better plus the pacing was all over the place. By the end I'd stopped caring about what I was doing.
