Hey hey! They all had personalities! For instance - Balthier, the cocky little twat 8D, and Ashe, the anti social princess ^____^

But on a serious note, they did have different personalities, so I don't see the problem there. Some characters did develop over time, but not at all, because, they didn't really need to - look at past Final Fantasy games. Not all the main cast seemed to have really changed all that much, they all pretty much stayed the same, apart from some little things which altered. I'm kinda thinking FFVIII here, which is a bad example to use.

What I'm trying to point out is, well, I've already made my point. I ain't repeating myself.

i relli like this game the start takes a bit too long like but when it gets to game play its ace the graphics and the story is mint..
i got my bro it for xmas and we both been playin it and we agree that it is one of the best ff games as well as 7 and 8.

we are relli early on in the game at belious at the temple of the king and its ace we carnt do it like, we think this calls for more training but we both got mist moves on every character and they are relli a big help to the game.

I love this game and it is my favorite FF out of the main series.

I like all the characters, especially Balthier whom I thought is cool as hell.

I like the story and the word style that is used in dialogue.

I love the fact the random battles were dropped in favor of FFXII's battle style.

I also like the lore that you can unlock when you kill enough baddies in the beastiary.

Yep, most certainly looks like it, what with FFXIII coming out on the PS3 :/

I loved it and loathed it.

The graphics were fantastic, the characters looked great, the story was alright and the license grid and thats sort of the only things I liked.

Nevertheless, though the story was alright it was too paced and wasn't as good as some previous Final Fantasy's and teh characters were so bland it was unreal, they had absolutely no depth, background or personallity.

Well, everyone knows by now that I hate this game, so I won't rant about it again. I would've liked to see more character development in Penelo though, because I thought she could've been a really cool character. As long as S-E didn't try to make her into the next Rikku or anything. > _ >

Overall, unmemorable except for the beginning few hours and the last hour. The graphics they had in their FMVs were incredible, though.

OBJECTION!


No background? No background?! D: You must have been asleep for the most of the game dear sir. Seriously. I know I love this game pretty much 100% but they have more background then that shoddy excuse of a main cast in VIII - unless you think of them better then 8's then that's ok. >_> <_<

I'd babble on a bit more, but I'll be nice and shut up
