Races of the Party

March 16, 2008, 7:46 PM

before FFXII was released i remeber reading up on it and finding out that it would inculde different races; Hume, Viera, Moogle, Bangaa & Seeq
i thought great maybe i will have the chance to have a moogle as part of my party and it would contain a mixture of races

then when i get the game the whole party is made of hume and one viera :( i was pretty disappointed

what are your thoughts on the XII party would you have prefered the different races as part of your team?

i wasnt really bothered tbh, altho I suppose it would have been good having abit more variety....

Id of quite like to play with a moogle actually

I was dissapointed by there only being one viera and the rest are hume. I think it would be good if you got the other races on your side essecily mpggles. Theres one more thing you cant dis moogles.

i would have prefered to see different races in the party to show how the naturally occuring abilities of the races increased like if the Seeq's were slower than the Viera or if they could have added a Garif to your party

Same here. I bought Tactics Advance when it came out (and have done a few replays of it), and so when I heard that XII would be keeping the Baanga I was pretty stoked. They had some of the best classes in TA...but the game comes out and nope, sorry, can't have a baanga in your party. It would have been cool to have moogles too, they had some cool classes like Engineer and Mog Knight.

XII was just a big pile of fail really. And it barely even did anything with the Nu Mou. I didn't really like them that much in TA, but I thought resigning them to only Mt. Bur Omisace and the Nabreus Deadlands was retarded.

I actually talked about this with VR last night, and I'm kinda surprised that there wasn't a thread on this.

I'd have loved to have a moogle or a bangaa, or both, in the party! A moogle would kick ass as a mage, or with a huge fucking spear xD

This really goes hand in hand with the whole "I wish the game had fucking classes" complaint I hear alot.

Cuz really....much as a bangaa and moogle in your party would kick ass, it would be pointless without class divisions. And the way the stupid game was set up everyone had to be clones of each other to survive some of the hunts and optional bosses.

I actually thought bangaas and seeqs were really ugly and quite evil.
i dont think they would have liked them, so that wouldnt have worked.

FFXII portrayed bangaas and seeqs(with the exception of migelo) quite negatively, i think a moogle would have been alright.

Seeqs were crap. I don't even know why they were designed, they were such an ugly race, and the ones who join you from time to time on hunts suck at combat.
