This one was all the localizers fault, same with FFT WotL. They speak normally in JP script. Who knows what they were thinking.

I never got that far in FFXII because I literally couldn't stop fapping to Fran every time I pleyed. I think I got to the green earthen Elder Wyrm thing and never picked it back up.

That describes literally every numbered Final Fantasy game.

You start off with a cast of 3 or 4 characters who actually have some stake in the crisis you're fighting against and then you gradually pick up 3 or 4 other party members who couldn't care less about what you're doing and just decided to tag along because they look good on promotional art.

Its a great butt but its not even close to extremely large. I remember the good old days when I played her just to see her ass in action. Got me through the boring bits.

Some of the shit I agree with but most sound its not aligned with you personal preferences which is ok.

When are people going to get it through their thick skulls that Vaan and Penole are literally just tagging along for the ride and telling the story from their point of view.

Seriously have you people never seen a narrative being told from the perspective of a sidekick?

Pretty sure they're talking about Penelo.
The things I'd do.
>>
>>343412139
FF12 was fine dialogue-wise. It's still very straightforward, and didn't even really sound like Renaissance shit. FFT WotL on the other hand was like that shit taken up to 11. That's why I wouldn't recommend anyone to play that version (plus audio like the SFX sounds butchered to hell + slowdowns, dunno if they fixed that). I mean the replaced the best line in the game ("Animals have no God!") with "the Gods have no eyes for chattel." You can't make this shit up.

I like Urianger cause his whole thing is that he speaks in poetry. Not a lot of reason for most other character to do it though.

Plus for every character who goes "pray mayhap succor anon" there's another who talks like a really fucked up pirate with apostrophes in every word.

In the gambit screen every character's silhouette has them holding their signature weapon.

Except for Penelo who's unarmed.

Butchered some of the most memorable lines, also less faithful to the original JP script.

WotL also removed spell chants which is an unpardonable sin.

A definitive FFT translation would just be the PS1 one with some of the obvious errors/awkward wording fixed.

>Implying that means anything
Its literally just a sword. He didnt inherit it like Cloud did in FF7 or it wasnt issued by his employer/government like the gunblade in FF8. It isnt even his brother Reks' sword. There isnt anything really pointing to it being his "Trusty Weapon"

It quite literally means this. It makes for less sidequests and makes the ones it does have missable.

>Dude what if we wrote all of the dialogue to sound like a Renaissance Fair
I'm actually okay with this. The localization team really busted their ass to set up a passable fantasy period translation.
>>
>>343415857
FF12 was fine because it didn't use language you'd need to be a Renaissance Fair employee to understand. It helped that the voice acting (aside from Vaan and Fran were breddy gud. The recording itself was pretty shit though, sounded like they were talking through a tin can.

Yea, a game people happily spent 10 years playing and look back fondly as one of the best MMO experiences ever while still remaining true to what the heart of the series was about was totally a bad move for the series.
>>
>>343413324
FFX was linear from start to finish. Even the Sphere Grid was linear as fuck and I'm still mad with what they did to the overworld part.
>>
>>343416475
Fuck you, Fran's voice did things to my dick.

>>343411837
>fun side games like the motorcycle chase
>>
>>343412727
No, the sphere grid was well designed, made sense, and gave a clear progression template with the ability to spread out once you were comfortable.

The license board was garbage and felt like it was made to limit your options more than expand.
>>
>>343416281
10 has plenty of side quests and stuff to do, non linear isn't always a good thing.

What exactly do you want? Multiple endings? Running in circles doing stupid fetch quests for hours on end around a hub? An overworld to explore on the way to your next area? all of those sound nice except the fetch quests actually, but I hope you don't expect them to put multiple endings in an FF game

The linear FFs tend to have better side quests anyway imo, bonus dungeons, and mini games and stuff.

Being linear is pretty much the worst argument against 10 because the majority of FF games are fairly linear anyway.

And yet FF12 is the best in the series
