Is Final Fantasy too ambitious for its own good ?

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). 

Im only responding to the fact that you said that story and world were weak due to not having a well written cast or whatever. That is not true. I dont care for Ivalice that much, but if FF12 got anything right the world history/mythology is it. FF12 has the most fleshed out world of Any non MMO FF regardless how you feel the characters ended. FF12 was NOT about the characters all, so little in fact it was stated by SE themselves their was no singular main character. I find ironic that this is respecting/appreciating the ambition behind every FF even if it ends not being your cup tea.... Then you go right ahead and downplay FF12 like that. FF12 has a fantastic world and more down to earth realistic story, the MOST realistic, of any FF game. 

That doesn't answer my question though. I didn't say the story was terrible or something I only said that the cast greatly weakened the story and the world in general. Better characters would have made the game much, much more interesting. I appreciate the ambition indeed, but I see none in the way XII characters were handled. You just read too much into it, I don't downplay, I'm only expressing my opinion of what I find to be weakness.
