I don't really agree with the elitist sentiments of this secret, but at the same time it really does frustrate me when people don't understand my raging hardon for this game. Yeah, the story's pacing is kind of abysmal - but the story itself is phenomenally good and has some of the best 'grey area' moments in any FF game.

More than that though, I always see a lot of people dismissing the characters when I think that...the characters are actually some of the strongest, well-written characters in the franchise. It takes some reading between the lines, but if you're actually paying attention I'm not sure how you miss the character development. Just because the game doesn't cue every change with a schlocky cut scene doesn't mean the characters don't grow and evolve. Ashe, especially, is probably one of my favorite female characters - not because she's always likable or always right, but because everything she does is understandable and feels organic to how she was written. The fact that she's even allowed to make terrible decisions is awesome - the fact that she and everyone else we're rooting for in the game are basically terrorists is really compelling.


Just, man, FFXII is a love story as much as any other FF game -- it's just not about the same kind of love. Instead it's about the love your homeland and how all it's different aspects shape a person. And that's kind of ridiculously special and unique, especially for the series.

/TL;DR I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME.

I think I love you. No really, you perfectly summed up why I love FFXII and why it's my favorite in the series.

AW YEAYUH, highfive!

Seriously, I will always stan for this game.
