I am glad that at least one person here is with me on this.

I found the world to feel more real than previous ones, I liked the focus on a relatively minor event compared to "WE HAVE TO SAVE THE WORLD," I thought (Vaan and Penelo aside, since they were dead weight who didn't really add anything) the characters were interesting, and I think the translation and voice acting were fantastic. Like really, really fantastic.
Word up on all accounts. Also, sweet on the iambic pentameter. I didn't pick that up, either, and it is very neat.
All these people hating on the game have me unable to resist playing the inflammatory condescension card. My guess is motherfuckers would all crap on Shakespeare in favor of Transformers. Video games will never move forward if everyone bitches and moans about how boring FFXII is and clamors for more crap like... whatever past ones they're clamoring for.

So being a FF fan and never having played FF 12...

You're not alone- the characters just didn't click for me, nor did the plot

Videogame stories suck the big one, with VERY few exceptions.

Fair enough. Maybe I'm proving my own point.

I will have to disagree with this...

Exactly. When I think story here, I think of the individual stories as well as the whole.

Still, it's good for a videogame story.

I agree, with caveat.

New games do not feature the storytelling prowess of good TV, films, or novels.

I disagree. Maybe you're playing the wrong games. *NM*

What is the videogame equivalent of The Godfather, The Wire, or Great Expectations? *NM*

"Ah, I see" means "You haven't answered because there is no satisfactory answer."

So you expect me to reply within two days when it took you three?

And yet so many people claim to play them for their stories...

The extras lower peoples' standards, but I DO think it's still the story.

You are correct. But it sounds like semantics to me, since in practice...

I enjoyed 12 more than most of those you mentioned...

I'll agree with this point, but I also agree with most of the thoughts of the GP

Final Fantasy XII was the best written FF ever, by far.
