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. |
!!!!
Final fantasy XII is held back only by oversights in the battle system and the lack of emotive investment in the story (and how hard it was to follow). It is still my opinion the most progressive FF in recent memory.

You thought FF12 was a hard story to follow? Jesus Christ, stay the hell away from FF13 then.

Both could be hard to follow but for different reasons. FFXII has a lot of depth to it so it can be difficult to follow if your attention wavers (or you get distracted playing through side missions which can happen quite easily in XII).
XIII's was hard to follow simply because it was told poorly. They hid a lot of the more interesting bits of info in the datalog and expected players to pick everything up from the overly long, drawn out bits of teen exposition.
