Balthier and Basch seemed like they were the main characters. I still didn't end 12 because it just completely sucked to me... One day I will get back to it, but .... No time soon.well the end of 12 is like the end of 8 in that you truly never beat tha villian.(vayne kinda defeats himself really)
I loved Final Fantasy 8.
I liked Final Fantasy 13. It was a bit too linear and the battles were easy, but overall, I thought it was great. The characters had life in them, Sazh especially.
(Been a while since I played, so if I got some names wrong, oh well lol)
useless characters like vann are annoying but I could stand him Because of Baltheir (baltheir constantly reminds people he's "the leading man" Which I agree with. the intire game coulda been made without vann and penelos so called story(infact Id rather have larsa and Reddas stay in party) seeing how Larsa and Reddas are 10x more involved in the actual events. when it comes to lightning however I detest her.she is unconvincing,(in a way only Tidus is famous for)
12 also has plenty of Starwars Parallels which I love the hell out of.(its type casted and scenerios also sometime match up (saving princess ashe/and penelo at one point)(empire-resistance)(theforce/Occuria-myst)(gabranth-darthvader)
It also has several welcomed game play changes.
the game is far from a perfect final fantasy- but its the best since 9 and 7.
it doesnt help that the Ivalice universe is my favorite universe(being that my favorite Finalfantasy is set in ivalice too,I love seenig all the nods to tactics-like the Galtean alliance refrences and it even refrences the boulve family)
