Final Fantasy XII Presumably the last "main" game to be released on the PS2, FF12 broke the tradition of Battle Screens. It was also the sixth game ever to receive a perfect 40/40 score from the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu.

Can't say i'v ever thought that before, I don't think they are alike at all!! I'd be more inclined to say Auron was more like Basch

You've heard a few people say this!!!?

No matter how many times I think this one over, I just don't see it. Sorry, I can't draw any similarities between the two... Not to mention their personalities and ages are the complete opposite.

As it's already been said, I agree on Basch and Auron being simmilar, but not the other.

Generally when people leave something silly they heard anonymous, that means they themselves said it

Either way, I'm actually glad XII doesn't have an Auron type. Basch is the closest you have to a tank character wise, and I like his character much better. And Balthier is a bit too smart and "I'm the lead man! follow me!" to be like Irvine.

I agree with most here, Basch is more like Auron in that he is the most powerful and the older voice of reason.

Yeah...I was going to say I thought Basch was more like Auron. Tough, serious guy type. Balthier did not seem to be like Irvine too me. Irvine was too much of a wuss, and too much of a wannabe ladies man.

I don't think Balthier and Auron are similiar.

Haha, good, I was just making sure.

Basch isn't quite as much of the badass type as Auron thing, but they both have loyalty in common. Auron was both loyal to Yuna as a guardian and loyal to Tidus because of his promise to Jecht. And Basch is loyal to Ashe, despite what she initially thinks of him.

But really, other than that I don't see much similarity. Basch was alot more human, it was alot easier to become attached to his character than Auron's.

Uh, Balthier and Auron...the same? Really? I really don't think so. =/ So I'm pretty much with everyone on this. Auron does remind me more of Basch.

However, as far as knowledge goes, Auron and Balthier do have something in common there. Balthier seems to know his way around and basically about a lot of things - hence, the vision of him being a more appropriate leader/hero. Then there's Auron, who also knows a lot about everything. You can tell the guy is an intellectual being right off the bat. Both can be blunt, although Balthier tends to us
