Watching the fanboys wangst, cry and stereotype a highly respected magazine and an entire nation over FFXII's perfect score-- Priceless.

Ooh, that's evil. :D

If someone can post that Japanese gamers "mastrubate" at any and all RPGs made by a Japanese company, I reserve the right to laugh at them. :wink:

Ahem, on an on-topic note, I'm very hopeful for the game as well. It's got everything I want so far-- medieval world, interesting background, good-looking guys...

The only thing I worry about is the battle system, but I'll adapt soon enough. I'm all for a change of fighting style, but I just hope it runs as smoothly as the KH2 engine, and not as clunky as I found The Bouncer's controls to be.

First impressions in the characters.

Vaan: Never made a strong impression on me. His brother Reks is sexy, though.

Penelo: Ditto as Vaan. But you know, she doesn't strike me as the "hyper girl" at all.

Balflear: He reminds me of Han Solo. Arrogant, pretty much in control in situations, cool character.

Fran: As cool as Balflear. ^0^ I love her voice.

Ashe: WAAAAI!!! Her first meeting with the party...

Ashe *slices enemy soldier*: Who's next?!

Me: *swoon*


Basch: Well, I just got him. I can't think of anything to say about him. ^^ I knew his profile is deceiving. Tsk tsk, SE. :D

Does anyone one else think that Vaan and Ashe could of been put in KH2 for promoting FFXII?

They could, but I don't see the point. They have milked enough FF characters for KH2, IMO. ;)

They could have (I mean, they came up with that abominable reason to put YuRiPa in...) but I guess since SE has no idea how popular they would be, they didn't want to risk it. It sounded as if Vivi's popularity was all that got him a cameo in the game, and Setzer's popularity also probably helped his case nicely.

That, and Nomura isn't involved in FFXII. Why pimp other people's characters when he could pimp more of his own? :P

Noruma's got too much of his own FF characters in KH2 anyway. I would personally prfer to see more IV, VI and IX characters.

It looks like either Vaan, Ashe or Fran are going to be one of my favourite XII characters. Vaan looks to have the personality of my loved Zidane and his outfit rocks. Ashe seems to be a very much different FF female, she looks to be a strong leader and she uses a sword! :woot: And Fran just looks cool which tells me that she will be cool, full stop! :P

You know, I'm not so sure that Vaan and Ashe were ever going to be siblings. I sure never saw any confirmation of that particular rumor from any reliable source.

You know, I may not have a degree in journalism or anything, but my friend and I did read the original website's descriptions almost a year ago and that is what they had said at the time. Of course, they went back and changed it so instead of the Star Wars thing, they decided to have Vaan and Ashe have similar stories of loss. :P

Either way, we know it's Vaan/Penelo now--I look forward to seeing what she can do in the game. I wonder who the white mage is if Ashe has a sword, Penelo has the martial arts and Fran can use just about anything...XD

Actually... you can customize your character's abilities. Want Ashe to carry a Very Big Sword (tm)? You can do so. Give Fran Black and White magic specialties? She can do so. Have Vaan wear heavy armor, instead of the usual thief leather armor and stuff? He can.

Ashe heals a lot of HP with a simple cure spell. o.0; and my License setup of her and Fran are similar, and she still beats her (my party consists of Basche, the heavy hitter, Ashe as the healer/attacker with Fran or Balflear from afar, sniping and healing).

Then again, I haven't levelled up Vaan and Penelo properly. So maybe they're good healers as well.

Same idea that Vincent should be there to promote DoC.

Though I think if there ever was a KHIII, maybe Vaan and Ashe could have a chance.

Wait a minute. Ashe uses a sword, easily slices soldiers and heals a lot of HP... Why on earth does the player need Vaan then? :lmao:
j/k

Well, if they gain a lot of popularity, then they can have a chance of appearing in probably coming KHIII.

Without a doubt, and not me being a fangirl or anything, Ashe is the one who is truly running the story of the game.

Vaan acts like the spectator on behalf of the player. Kind of like Tidus, except there's no voiceovers.

Oh, so Ashe is running the story. Pretty interesting.
BTW, what kind of weapon is Vann using?

*looks at Anti-R's sig* OMG! First Rasler (though with Ashe) fanart I've ever seen! That can't be true :swoon:

Why does this even matter anymore??? :ermm: We all know that Vaan and Ashe aren't siblings in the final product. Apparently, the creators didn't like that idea or they wouldn't have changed it. I think it is better the way it is, personally, even if I don't particularly care for any of the pairings in that game except for Balflear and Fran.

It doesn't, I just didn't appreciate the minor slight, is all. Back to the topic---

Yay for customizing the characters--I wonder if this was sorta modeled after DQ8 in a way.

And w00t for Balthier/Fran XD
