| 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. |

I think the love story was between Vaan and Penelo and Fan and Balthier. On one of the viera sidequests, a man mentions that he would've never considered falling for a viera if he hadn't seen Balthier and his partner, who is obviously Fran. Then, on another sidequest, a Viera takes an interest in Vaan, then later says that he already has someone who loves him very much. Hmm.. I wonder who that could be?

I haven't finished the game but I can see the relationships in the game aren't as important as they are in X, and other FF games. I don't think it's a bad thing though, because I like to play games.

I never really noticed any similarities in FFXII that's in the other FFs (story wise)
Except for the fact how Vaan treats Penelo. Reminds me of Cloud and Tifa. Cloud treats Tifa has a friend early in the game like Vaan treats Penelo.

I like love stories in FF, but they don't make or break the game for me. It was actually refreshing not to have a love story in FFXII. For me, the only love in this game happens between Ashe and Rassler.

I'm not horribly concerned about the lack of a love story, because when I grab a game, my mind is set on enjoying the game, not the cast of characters and the story's plot. I can be interested in that shit later

There isn't a really romatic story anywhere here, but I did feel that Ashe and Balthier seemed to like each other. Penelo obviousely likes Vaan.
Ashe thinks of her dead husband Rasler, so she cannot start a new relatioship.

Ash is lesbian...OK, that was a joke.
Anyway, maybe the SE guys couldn't find a great love story between the main characters coz the already used them all,or...because it's illegal for a princess to fall in love with a younger guy and bang him.
But my real opinion is..they wanted to prepare us for the new FF game(talking about XIII) coz it seems that there's no love crap in it, just some boring ppl who wants to protect there cites.

I am just sure that Larsa has the hots for Penelo. I mean, he takes her to his palace. She is older then him wich makes it kinda interesting for the young Larsa

If you play Revenant Wings it distinguishes romantic relationships more clearly.
In my opinion Fran and Balthier ftw  , and even though you guys are repulsing at the thought of Ashe and Basch, think about Fran and Balthier because on viera's longetivity Fran is over 50 years old and Balthier is 22  not that I care, just making a point.

I think that there really is some kind of romantic connection between the lead characters of Vaan and Ashe, but I think that they took a shortcut from having the relationship out in the open like with the other games (Tidus and Yuna, Squall and Rinoa, etc) and instead just left it as more of a subtextual relationship that could be interpreted in whichever way the gamer wished to interpret it.
I felt kind of cheated at that, actually.
Edit: Reading above posts made me think of something too:
Vaan and Ashe seem like an almost obvious pairing once you look at the relationship between Fran and Balthier or Penelo and Larsa...but then there's always Basch to consider. :/
