I got FFXII over the weekend. Its okay I guess the characters grate on me a little bit though. I haven't fully decided on the battle system yet, since I have yet to see exactly how smart the AI is.

Which characters? If you're talking about Vaan and Penelo, I agree completely.

If you're talking about Balthier, those be fighting words.

Yea Vaan and Penelo, and who in the hell did the casting, half the characters so far sound like they were windows voiceovers.

Technically, you'll see Basch again, but I'll forgive you for not passing judgement on him yet. He's just kind of there.

Also, note that Migelo is played by "Bender B. Rodriguez" himself, John DiMaggio.

The voice recording... Yeah. Sometimes it sounds like they were a foot away from the Mic on a windy day when they recorded the voices, I agree. Panelo and Vaan aren't interesting, they're just.. ANime cliches. The others though, they're all fun. Basche is a legitimate ass kicker, Fran is NOT a ditzy fanservice girl (a fact which makes me smile inside and out) and Balthier.. Balthier rocks. Han solo/bond put together, he's the best supporting cast ever.

I don't like Vaan or Fran, but the rest are perfectly fine.

Oh hell no. I dispise the character design... But I hated 10's as well. Honestly, I don't know what they're trying to DO with the outfits most of the time, but damn if they don't seem.. Cobbled together. And, y'know, while Basch wore a set of armor that covered things, there are still people running around with their bellies exposed. In armor. Why does Square insist on just... I dunno. Can no one go in a t-shirt and jeans? The only character design I like happens to be Balthier's, and that's because it works both utilitarily and, hell, fashionably.


About Vayne: I'm about... Well, I'm maybe 1/4 through the game and Vayne seems like a decent guy. Which freaks me out since he's apparently the big villain. Not the only one, mind you, but the big one. I'm waiting for some dramatic reveal later to make me hate him, but for now he's just, well.. A politician.

Edit: Bah, Fran's outfit is fanservice, but her personality is serious and not at all ditzy like the last few games'.

That's pretty much how I feel. 7 had a nice simple look to it's outfits. 8 had a sense of fashion, not quite like our worlds but it worked. 9 Had a nice fanatasy vibe to it.


Then X and X-2 came along. I have seen blind people put together better outfits. I don't know what they're trying but it's just not working.

Vayne is a politician with alot of charisma. He swept into Rabanastre as the consul and made everyone not hate him with an impassioned speech.

The armor was fun in that the prince dude gets killed by an arrow RIGHT IN THE WEAK POINT THAT IS THE HOLE AROUND HIS JUGULAR. Honestly, I think Square got kind of self-mocking this time around with the character designs.

Impassioned? I think Ben Stein has been more passionate than Vayne is.

I am not really sure I agree with him on that, I imagine that Kevin would love something that can literaly be anything he needs it to be.

Hyrule - Sword, and a Bow
Doom - BFG

So, on the subject of FFXII.

Much fun, much fun indeed.

In the tomb of the dead king right now, party consisting of Ashe (leader), Balthier, and Basch.

Ashe works well as a Paladin-esqe character, I've noticed. Been getting lots of Shield Block on the License board. Balther and Basch just kill things.

One minor gripe?

Magic doesn't seem all that spectacular in XII, mabye it's just because I've not trained Penelo high enough, but...I'm not impressed with the damage she's churning out with Black Magic. Especially when she could be using it to cast Cure, instead.

Honestly, for the most part black magic in FF12 is useless. In fact, the best offensive spell? Curaja, considering the hordes of enemy undead that you fight in some of the harder places. But the fir, bliz, and thund -aga spells? Not actually that great. Scathe, the "ultima" attack looks pretty nice, judging from how exdeath owned me with it, but... the others are just eh.

Haste, however, is still incredibly powerful. Everyone should have it and a gambit to cast it on themself or others.

Gravity's also the strongest it's ever been, being ranged and doing damage based on max HP instead of current HP, so four shots kills anything that isn't immune.

But for the most part, you're probably just gonna wind up using mp for mist quickenings, or healing.

I knew magic would be useless or near to it.

S-E has been nerfing magic in all their series lately.

The mood was tense when I walked through the door. It was a mood of half excitement, and half trepidation. I walked up to the counter and handed the clerk my drivers licence. "I want to drive that one" I said to him. The shopkeep took my ID and then han ded me the keys.... I walked over, and after turning it a few diffrent ways i figured out how to start my truck and be off....

I got to play the Wii today. Excite Truck.... it was like breakout meets Monster Jam, mmeets atv offroad on crack... sweet satisfying crack...


For as confusing as thewy make it look the Wiis controls actually make sence.... I held the controller with both nhands, kept my finger on the b button and played one of the best burnout inspired racing games I have played sonce, well, burnout.
