Ok.
I do have to say though, your perception of what the"forced main cast" did for the world/story of FF12 is ironic. The choice to present the main cast as just simple, non special, non directly related to main villian, actually strengthens the world and story lore. FF12 focused on world events themselves as the main character not singular direct events(cloud,sephiroth,shinra). FF12 has the richest lore of Any FF minus the MMO's wether you like it or not. |
Vaan wasn't supposed to be a thing until a later stage into development, he was forced into the story, so is the girl which I forgot her name. The important characters were not the main focus and the other almost had no personality to appreciate or remember. The lore was great, I agree.

Edited the title for a better understanding what I'm trying to say.

Im aware of development switchup. Everybody is. I dont think you understand though., the choice NOT focus on main cast mzde the story and world lore STRONGER not weaker as you stated originally. FF12 was all about world events/mythology/struggle.
|
I respectfully diagree.
The story and world get stronger by being discovered through interesting and well defined characters. Choosing to focus on the world is fine, but the main character was nobody while he could have been an mean to explore the lore and the story better. Do explain to me how the world would be "weaker" by having well written characters (that don't have to be the main focus of the story / lore).

I was wondering the same thing.
OT: That's one way to look at it. The other is that SE have botched up the development of Final Fantasy for most of the last gen. Other publishers have managed to develop huge, ambitious titles that are still true to their roots. Final Fantasy isn't among them.
