When have Final Fantasy characters ever blended well into crowds? Especially when not all the members of the party are humans?

Even if Fran isint human you still have to love her...and her weird British accent on a diffrerent world. Got FFXII the day it came out. Me and my friend called out of school ( with parent permission of course ^^ ) and went to the mall and banged on the metal bars for them to let us in. Got the first copies from the store ^^. Aswome game and i love the battle system, i think its a tie for favorite FF along with 9.

Yes the accent is funny to listtin to.  I am happy that montablok from FF Tactics Advance is in it,  He send me to get me killed by hard monsters, If only you caould hit for more that 9999 damage mike in FF 10.  Hey Mr Otaku,In FF9 Did you ever beat Hades or get Excalaber 2?  I have to try to get all the goodies.

I'm about 25 hours into FFXII right now, and really love the story line.  I also love the fact that gameplay has been quite challenging for me.  It's taken me several tries to beat nearly every boss so far.  I'm finally figuring out the system too; having the game in wait mode is a huge plus for me right now.  I've finally getting used to using the Quickening system too. 


Oh, and Fran is cool, even with the British accent!

The Quickening system is great once you figure it out.  I've managed to chain 14 Quickenings together, with only a total of four Quickenings between my three characters.  Belias went down quick. =D

The bosses can be hard if you don't approach them correctly...Judge Ghis took me a second try, and so did the stupid bird at the ruins (several times actually...) I use ATB rather than Wait, though.  Being on your toes and thinking about what strategy to use on the fly is best for me. 

Who's is everyone's strongest character right now?   For some reason Penelo's my highest level character.  I have all the Increase Chance of Blocking With a Shield Licenses on her, so she can take on about five Fiends by herself most of the time.  It's quite funny to send her into a crowd of Fiends with two supporting archers and just wait them out.  Somehow my Penelo manages to block about 90% of the hits thrown at her, and Gambits keep her healed.

I might buy that with Christmas monies (Maybe it will be better than the potion!). I played it with Rhyus before we went to AnimeUSA. It was awesome, and I wanna play it...It might have to wait after my sweet Zelda. I want to retain as much from that game as possible before moving on. Its like a reunion with some awesome fun and part of my personality I lost a while ago after not playing it for a while...Its kind of a destiny thing.

Then I shall beat all thos FFs. I shall plow through them with this new found rekindling from Twilight. Then summer time. javascript:void(0);

Yes...these Holidays shall be good ones...My friend is completely out of the system for something blown out of proportion, and I have Christmas Earl Grey tea, a Wii and a new found ability to make better comics. About freaking time! :biggrin:

Is FF12 relatively long, just long, or what? Shorter than any others?

My strongest character is Vaan because I never seem to take him out of the party.
