Nonsense.
Larsa was the leader.

I DEMAND TO BE ABLE TO PLAY AS THE SHOTA EMPEROR. scream
The Shota Emperor is superior.
You know what I don't get? People saying FFXII has shitty story and shitty characters when everyone seems to do things in a somewhat plausible way. Makes me wonder if everyone is going to b***h out Tactics when it comes out on PSP.

"Use the political system to further your own goals through, admittedly cruel, diplomatic relations instead of just blowing things up while at the same time manipulating the people that do dirty work to do your dirty work so that you're not under suspicion and not chancing your own demise? My god! You suck! Your story sucks! You can't use common sense, that's lame! You can't be smart, you suck!"

Usualy the only critism I hear is simpley the genre of the plot (Which is very much politicaly driven) isn't as interesting to a lot of gamers, or that the characters weren't very compelling. I'll vouch for the latter definetly being one of my own opinions.


But thats water under another bridge. If anything, FFXII's plot also exempts it from Disidia due to the fact that it tries a lot more to be about social/political ideals, as opposed to Good vs Evil, which is the point of Dissidia.
A lot of the complaints about XII were from people whom play FFXI though. Aside from the normal batch of FFers. Alot of FFXI is politic driven. Though perhaps they get away with it because it's your character and even though your character has no... character it's yours.

Too many "you're not evil, you're good? Wait... you're semi-good? Wait bad?" in FFXI for them to use any of the characters really. Plus way too many storylines. Dynamis, Dynamis Taz, Promathia, Zilart, Aht Urghan, Shadowlord, Bastok, Windurst, San d'Oria, Avatars, etc.

Still would have been badass to use a Sam in full AF2 with an Amanomurakumo against whatever villan they throw at us.

I still hope FFs move into more political areas instead of just being good and the bad.

Anyways, if they're just going with the good vs. evil then hope the gameplay is up to par for Dissidia.

The gameplay definetly looks interesting. I like the nod to the FFT Brave system thats been mixed with Limit Bar. Everytime you hit the enemy, or destroy the suroundings you float threw (Gravity doesn't seem to exist in FF Disidia) you gain more Brave. Nice. But I wonder how the Pre-FFVI characters will have their special moves displayed. Cecil's Shadow Wave is a good guess. But characters like Light Warriar and Butz have less defined abilities. Hrmm.
I knew people were going to post those scans. I found out about them about 9 hours ago, but couldn't do anything about it because I was on the net with my PSP.

My problem was that the story was getting good at the beginning, got stale at the middle, and began to rot around the ending. They completely shoved Basch aside after everyone accepted him, went onto Balthier but it wasn't enough in depth. I hated Ashe. When they tried to save her, the game only made her look like a dumb b***h. Sorry for the language but it's true. confused By the time you get to the ending, you were so preoccupied with side missions and hunts that your forgot what was going on in Ivalice.



Selphie is so smart. heart 4laugh
I'll be honest.

I stopped really caring about the story of FFXII after >the Ice Ruins area where you get the second storyline esper, the pope sent you there< because it just seemed to have gone stale.

Around that time I basically shifted gears and went into hunts and stuff.

I'm not saying the story was bad, I'm just saying that it was never in depth enough. I felt detached from practically all of the characters.

crying ... i must find something new!!
Full updates coming up by tomorrow or Friday night due to having to rewrite a lot stuff based on new findings. Thank you for your patience.
X-Death should be a playable character...
So far, youtube only has the two songs introduced earlier along with one of the scans. But it's only the music that's new.
