All the FMVs are on youtube but I shall not watch them. For anyone who wants to know the ending: In the end, Vaan and Penelo have something special, though he leaves her to follow his dream. Penelo stays behind at Rabanastre and awaits his return, ever so faithful. Ashe and Vaan only had a understanding relationship. Y'see, both went through similar tragedies. Ashe lost her husband, and Vaan lost his brother. Because these tragedies had a big impact on them, for a while, both were able to see their loved ones as "ghosts". Only after one is able to move on and stop grieving, then the ghosts disappear. So, in a way, they were grieving buddies. Vaan was able to move on first, and felt sorry for Ashe because she found it hard to move on. Ashe, however, does have some feelings for Balthier. In the end of the game, Balthier and Fran stay behind to stop the massive sky fortress, Bahamut, from falling on Rabanastre. It's course is changed and it manages to fall outside of Rabanstre, but there are many explosions. Everyone believes Balthier and Fran to be dead, and Ashe always stands on her palace's balcony, looking towards Bahamut ruins, which can be seen in the distance. This is a biggy, though. During the credits, they show Balthier being, indeed, alive, and is living in the Viera village. He's a father(holding a new born baby). They don't show the mother, but it's most likely Fran. Prior to showing Balthier as a father, they show a picture of Balthier with is arm around Fran(the famous picture where Fran is pinching his hand). The back ground to this picture is of the Viera village. And, even before that, I found the scene where both Baltheir and fran were trying to change the direction of Bahamut kinds touching. Balthier is working hard as the entire fortress is collapsing. Debris is falling everywhere. Fran's near him, doing her thing. Suddenly a bunch of debris falls and it sends a cloud of dust and smoke to engulf them. When it clears, Balthier's alright, continuing his work. After he finishes, he calls out to Fran, but she doesn't answer. He looks over to where she was and sees that she's been crushed by a piece of debris. He lifts it off her and she's unconscious. He picks her up and carries her. As this happens, Bahamut falls. Perhaps his feelings went beyond that of "just partners". Poor Ashe. And Penelo... |

Where did you find this? O_O I wonder....... .....yes, somehow it's not the FF12 as I expected.....I mean the Romance of the main characters.....but as the maker already said, FF12 is about the theme of FREEDOM ..... |

Nothing bad happens to Ashe or Penelo. :lol: Do I consider it good? Well I think it's pretty different. *POTENTIAL SPOILERS* And one of the couples is quite different... if you know what I mean. xD The couples seemed obvious to me from the beginning, though. I personally don't get how anyone would root for VaanxAshe. This Final Fantasy is going against the cliche' and the main characters do not always have to be in love with one another. *END POTENTIAL SPOILERS* :) It was as I predicted, basically. xD Well except a few things... which suprised me. And I found it on FFXII net forums. |

Thanks for the feedback! As long as you're not moaning the end of FF with this ending, I'm happy. "Different" can be good or bad, but FFVII's ending was considered different too, so my hopes are still up there.Oh yes, I took the liberty of hiding the potential spoilers in your post (even if I'm not sure myself exactly how spoilery they are... :lol: ). I'm not sure if we should allow spoilers in this thread or open a separate one, but I'll leave the decision to FFG since she started the thread.

Oh, ok. :lol: I think it would be a good idea. Oh yikes I hope I don't spoil myself too much. So tempting... Thanksgiving, why do you have to be so far away?The question is: How long will we be able to resist the spoilers? And you know Basch, right? I haven't heard about him in the ending so I wonder if he dies. I have no clue though.

Yep, I spoiled the ending for myself too And on the contrary reading spoilers doesn't ruin it for me, instead now I want to devour every little scene, it's really caught my interest! Read about it at GameFAQs, but thanks for posting that account here LB, that one's got a ton more of information and depth *^_^*OMG I'm so happy! *waves the couple flags* S P O I L E R S . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Poor Ashe though .. it seems it is very tragic when it comes to love, first her husband ... and then *sniff* But then I don't know how to think because I'm happy for how it ended up with her potentail love interests too. OMG AWWW how cute at the baby Ashe reminds me of Terra even more now. I mean Terra didn't end up with anyone. Her love was of a different kind, for the children of the world. Oh, and I believe than Vaan does come back to visit Penelo at times, and maybe even takes her with him eventually, eventually she decides to go, because somebody at GameFAQs translated one of her lines and it was basically "Of course, together with Vaan!" *^_^* |

I think I know Basch (hoping I'm not mixing him up with Balthier as I type this...). And I don't think we'll be resisting the spoilers for long. :lol: Actually, considering my track record (failed attempts at remaining unspoiled for KH2 and AC), perhaps it'd simply be safer for me to leave this thread until the NA version comes out! Heheh, if you end up being unable to resist the temptation, just remember the post the spoilers here for everyone else! ![]()
You make a very strong case, FB...NO NO NO! I'm giving in already?! *runs away screaming*

I know Basch was considered being a rotten apple, killed the king or something. But I don't know if the initial info about him held true to end and he did indeed turn out to be rotten. In any case he's HOT though :lol: Reminds of FFIV's Kain with his helmet off. I wonder if Basch seeks redemption in the end like Kain ... |

Aw man, I completely spoiled myself on the pairings. *mock!warns Anti, LB and FB for tempting her!*Okay, have fun guys, leaving thread now for the sake of my FFXII virginity. Always remember to look both ways before crossing the street, and cover all spoilers with warnings.

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/03/08/famitsu-...0-review-score/ FF12 recieved 40/40 review from Famitsu, a well respected Japanese games magazine. Only few games have been able to achieve that before so let's hope it really is as good as their review makes us believe. My hopes are high for this game, and the more tragic it is the better.

Getting an Internet line installed-- RM50. Monthly bill covering time spent surfing the web, loading the page, reading the article-- RM88 Watching the fanboys wangst, cry and stereotype a highly respected magazine and an entire nation over FFXII's perfect score-- Priceless. |
