Party Leader

An interesting thing about FFXII is that for the first time, you could choose who you walked around as in most of the places, by making them the party leader. Did you have a favourite party leader? Why?

I often had Ashe or Fran as the main party leader, Ashe because, well, she is the main character, and Fran because she's one of my favourite characters

And, who did you think was the real "leader" of the group? Sure Vaan may have been the one you had to walk around as in towns, but he wasn't the leader. In my opinion, I think the leader role belongs to either Basch, Ashe or Balthier, although I haven't really decided yet...

I'm certain that isn't a first. I think in 4 you could do it. I always changed it about i never really stuck with one single person.

Penelo and Vaan seemed to be there ... just 'cause. If we took them out, the only parts of FFXII that we'd remove would be the uninteresting parts. As such, I never, ever, use either of them.

Fran, Balthier, Basche and Ashe always took charge for me, where Balthier and Ashe would occassionally switch places in my team [in other words, Fran and Basche would be kept constant party members]. I frequently changed my party leader - it never mattered much, as all of my party members tend to have similar, if not exactly the same, abilities.

I use Ashe as the leader. Reasons are because I like her and I have equiped a bow onto her. Usually enemies start attacking the leader first, Ashe can go far and shoot her enemies with her arrows.

Sometime I use Basch as well because of his unmatched strength

I would always use Basche or Ashe because My 3 people i mainly used were Basce, Ashe, and Balthier and i wouldnt use Balthier cause he is a range attacker. I had the person that had the best defence up seeing as they would be the person to be targeted.

Usually it's always Balthier I'd use, but since I change parties to level up the other characters, Basch, Fran, or Ashe would take the charge if Balthier is not in the main party.

Vaan and Penelo - I don't use as party leaders. I really think that Balthier seemed more like the leader of the group.

Whenever I had more than two people in my party, the leader was never Vaan. Or Penelo. *shakes head* Noo way, not for me.

Basch is always used as my leader, simply because the main character Vaan seems inexperienced at being a leader and is just tagging along.

Basch is an experienced soldier and in my eyes is the most experienced character in the party.

I used Vaan because he had the best stats end-game and he's always in your party.

But Basch and Ashe WERE the main characters. The true party leader would be Balthier because he just leads the party everywhere.
