Meh, I'd never give ***to the playable cast voices. Balthier definitely stands out cause Gideon Emery is a boss but Ashe, Basch and Fran sounded amazing.
As a kid, I wasn't sure why all the other characters were rude to Vaan, now I realize he was just stupid.
Vaan was perfect, cause he acted like a kid thrown into some ***a kid has no business in. Too bad XII has terrible pacing that torpedoed the game.
I felt like part of XII's pacing problem wasn't so much the storyline's fault as much as the period where the game really opens up and let's you do your free-range sidequesting is a really, really bad time for it; by the time you've done a bunch of hunts you've forgotten what the *** you were trying to do with the main quest line.
Dragon Age: Inquisition has this problem from the very get-go, but I'm trying to fight through it.
It's like they forgot that they built this game for a generation of gamers raised on RPG'ing to Completionist Level: OCD-like-What About Bob.

Well, I thought the same thing about Tidus in X for about 60% of the game. My beef with XII was that Vaan was just your point of view, not the main character which was, imo, Ashe. It was her story. I would've preferred the ability to swap between Vaan and Ashe as main character.

At too many points in XII does the storyline fail to maintain momentum which leads to boredom which leads to not wanting to play. There are too many instances where a major event happens only for you to need to slog through some unimportant zone or two only to be fed the next plot point which now seems not so important. The Great Crystal is the major offender, being one of the most '*** the *** off SE' zones in FF history.
Worse is the criminal underuse of Penelo and Fran who are just sidekicking it up for their love interests. Basch, Ashe and Balthier could have three-manned the game with very little lost.
Pharos @ Ridorana was great (Subterra is even more fun) only for the Sky Fortress Bahamut to be a complete disappointment of a 'final' dungeon. It's like the game wanted to get itself over with. Other gripes include Vayne not being a good villain but that I think is crap.

They tried to weave Vaan into the main scenario but the problem was no one gave a *** about Reks and since the 'Basch killed my bro' thing was squashed pretty quickly, the character ended up with little to do other than act as Ashe's moral compass and be a doofus.
He's the everyman but do people play RPGs to be the everyman?

I hit this point with almost all games though.
Only now at 30+ have I gone from thinking ADD is complete and utter BS to actually thinking I have it, following...you know. About 20 different adults telling me so.
I need to play 12 again. I made it exactly to where ramy was talking when you get your hunts, finished those, forgot what I was supposed to be doing, & went back to 11.
I finished 10, but it was too linear. I will, however, buy it for ps4 when it comes out & play it again, so it couldn't have been tooooooooooooo bad.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
