Swan Dive

Agreed, FF12 is easily my least favorite FF game because of the empty characters.  (Back in the older FFs it was more excusable since technology was limited.)  I CRIED for Aeris/ith in FF7, I felt Squall's loniliness in FF8, I felt Vivi's pain in FF9, I admired Auron in FF10, etc. but in FF12 I felt nothing at all and eventually quit.  



I think they are going to need main characters if they want the game to suceed, especially since they are openly bragging about an FFT creator being involved in it.  Politically bred "Villians" like Algus and even minor "Heroes" like Mustadio still hold special memories in my gaming history.  Without that I don't know how I would of loved FFT so much.  



I just can't understand, why they would abandon such an important part of the Tactics genre?  Disgaea has it's characters, FE:A has it's characters, and FFT has it's characters. JTRPGs all have their characters!  Perhaps they are going more towards the (successful) XCOM route and focusing PURELY on gameplay...

Quote from: Swan DiveHeheh Valkyrie Profile, another game that I couldn't get into. I'm guessing you would like or liked the Saga Frontier series too then?  Maybe even Chrono Cross too (which I actually liked)?



If the gameplay is a groundbreakingly amazing TRPG breakthrough, I may still give it a try and buy it later.  I just don't want to back a game that I have doubts on.  There has to be SOME dialogue on the characters though.  Even in FFT the blank characters had some dialogue (Burning anger rising...Burst! Wave Fist!" being one of my favorites of all time) even though it was premade it was still something, and that would be enough for me.



Indeed i liked SaGa Frontier. Chrono Cross not s much (played it more because it was related to Chrono Trigger than due the game itself) but ye, i like game with lots of charcters with individual stories ^^
