WHY IS THIS GAME TAKING SO LONG TO GET THROUGH.

Oh god, Balthier is a giant dork who is trying so hard to be cool but you know Fran just gives him the '_' blank look and he wilts.

I thought Larsa was a girl. D: And then there was the 'oh wait' moments.

YES AGREE WHAT IS WRONG WITH VAAN'S LOW-POLY MODEL'S ABS.

I HAVE BEEN PLAYING IN MY FRIEND'S ROOM ALL WEEK.

HER: how long is this game? give me a reasonable estimate.
ME: seventy hours?
HER:
HER:

i love that 80% is cutscenes. I just put the controller down and take a nap. The gambits will hadnle the rest.

Fran and Balthier was the only worthwhile part of the game thus far. She just went apeshit crazy over a stone and I loved how 8-| Balthier acted. YEAH NO PROB. YOU CAN ALWAYS GET ANOTHER VEIRA.

I can understand why everyone thought Larsa was a girl. I mean, he's wearing tights. but I thought that was just superfluous clothes to let us know he wasn't a provincial!

VAAN'S ABS COULD NOT BE MORE FUCKED UP.

WERE THEY PAINTED ON. JAPANESE PEOPLE CLEARLY DON'T UNDERSTAND A TIGHT BOD.

Something is desperately wrong when even Sephiroth's polygon chest seems more appealing.

And, more coherent now - I love the battle system so much too! I hate that there's such a paucity of "fun" stuff in this game, though. Like, you walk for an hour across a desert and end up in some town, which takes another hour to navigate, then you enter a weird dungeon and spend two hours there, and then once you take care of business you have to do it all fucking over again. You can hang around and talk to people but it doesn't even matter. I miss lame FF shenanigans. Digging up ancient artefacts with chocobos. :(

Nothing fun ever happens. Vaan selling himself on the streets of Rabanastre will probably be the high point of his life compared to this.

The japanese voice is phenomenal. I was so pumped. Then the english loads up and WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO SOUND LIKE ROBIN HOOD. YOU ARE A PIRATE, NOT A VAMPIRE.

Yeah, I watched the English trailer a little while ago and I don't mean to be the snobby japanese ps2 owner but seriously guys, he's so much cooler in Japanese. Although let's face it, everyone is way too white to be speaking Japanese. ~*~final fantasy xii: aryan nation~*~

I'm glad I played it in nihongo though, even if I have no idea what like, half the items are called/do and I'm already basically over it by the time everyone's joined fandom. ALAS

VAAN'S GOT A SPRAY-ON PACK. CHARMING!

RE: Dalmasca uniforms: I CONCUR. Note also that there is a space in Rasler's armor just above his heart that's conveniently arrow-sized. WHOOPS, YOUR BAD, DALMASCA!

It's "Ronsenberg." They're skirting the issue.

I TOLD YOU ABOUT FREAKING BALTHIER AND WHY HE IS LIKEABLE. And you shot me down so hard. I STILL FEEL THAT PAIN, WHORE.

Dude do some levelling, this game isn't one of your usual PRESS START TO WIN affairs. You gotta EARN your smile.

Vaan's only in the story to provide an objective POV. IT'S HIS BOY'S ADVENTURE TALE! Penelo's there too, I guess. For some reason. I wish the game had done something with her. OTOH IN REVENANT WINGS SHE IS A TEENAGE HOOKER!

I love how in the Japanese walkthroughs, the game guide writers puzzled over Larsa's alias and finally came up with "Ramon".

....

Hire those natives to help you through the mines, white men!
