    In 2002 Square Enix dabbled in online games for the first time. But after FF11, they decided to triumphantly return to their single player roots, in the process making one of the most prolific games in the franchise. Even becoming one of the first games to ever receive a perfect score in Japan's most famous long-running video game magazine.
    This is the final fantasy 12 iceberg.

      Just want to let you know ff12 is more then just a reference in ff14 - dalmasca becomes a major part of the story, and ff12's villian, venat, is also extremely prominent in ff14. Fran also makes recurring occurances in the main story. basically, any game related to ivalice takes place on the planet "Etheryis". ff3 also took place on Etheryis. Alot of this is information gained directly FROM ff14, but it does have a serious lack of info on the wikis, due to either it being an mmo, or anyone that IS into the lore of FF as a whole not taking it seriously because almost any/all mmo's have next to no story. Endwalker, the newest expansion, has changed everyones veiw, and ties together a bunch of the different ff games storylines nicely. But yes, a serious lack of documented information exsists - hopefully that will change now that ff14 has become so popular.

    My favourite Final Fantasy world by far. Perfect blend of magic and techology and the art style is phenomenal. The architecture, the cities, the lore, the races, the espers although they arent the classical ones are soo good.. Too bad we werent given the chance to explore Ivalice more and learn more about the lore. I feel like there is so much more to this world.. My favourite FF to date

      Hey, check out Vagrant story or at least a video on it if you havent before, it takes place in Ivalice despite not being an FF title. it is still a square game though, Also FF tactics A2 takes place in Ivalice and you can get not only all the non human races from Ivalice on your team but Vann, Penelo and Montblanc and some others as playable characters as well.

    I remember when my dad got me FF12 for the Ps2 as a gift. Ever since I saw the Advent Children movie, I became terribly obsessed with FF, and he just wanted to get me a FF game. He ended up getting me the best one. It has colored my imagination and, as a result, my writing. It wasn't until I re-played it for the ps4 that I was able to finally beat it. I still dream with the music.

    Themes of loss: it's stupid of me to never realized that 😨😨😨 vaan and penelo lost their families, vaan losing his brother. Basch lost his twin brother thru betrayal, and lost his dignity as a soldier. Balthier lost his father who succumbed to his scientific ambitions. Fran lost the trust of her entire clan. And ashe lost her husband in battle. All of them somehow redeemed themselves through friendship, camaraderie, and trust to each other........ It's heartwarming 😭😭😭

      Basch lost his whole country to the same empire, twice. First Landis then Dalmasca. His entire backstory is loss. One could even mention that how he ends after the game is about loss as he loses his public identity and has to start pretending to be his brother after the game ends.

      Gabranth refers to their homeland Landis being lost too. He joins the empire, with bitterness aimed at Basch. I haven't read up on the whole story between Basch and Gabranth.
      I really loved the HD textures of The Zodiac Age. For example, the character models with distort when zooming out the camera. Basch's hair would become cubic looking on the ps2 version.

    I managed to save for a Playstation 2 in prison once, I played this game, it clocks how many hours you have spent playing and I invested over 100 hours. I had completed the entire game apart from beating the Behemoth last monster hunt. I didnt know how to make it appear. To do certain puzzles you need to go around the map in a certain way, it was quite complicated in terms of puzzles, I had no access to the internet so had to figure everything out myself. This is a very good game.

    FF12 seems to be, at the same time, regarded as one of the boldest and best FFs, AND most underrated.
    FF9 was my introduction to the series and I felt like I was coming into something that was already established, 12 made me feel like it was my FF.
    Never gave that much time to any other FFs, but this two I love dearly and haved picked them up multiple times, going through 12 again now.

  • @youreprettygood2603
    @youreprettygood2603 2 года назад +16

    I remember that FF12 made me question about whether helping Ashe was actually the right thing to do when we learn from Larsa that Archadian emperors are actually elected and not born, at least until Vayne turned Archadia into a full on dictatorship.
    I was like hold up I'm helping these royals, marquis and princesses who didn't do anything to earn their title except being born with the right bloodline when the supposed bad guys are actually chosen by the people among different candidates from different houses based on their contribution to society.
    Even though the game doesn't in fact give you any choice on what to do and follows a strict storyline, no other FF has ever made me questioned whether I was doing the right thing like that.
    Plus Ashe isn't even grateful for anything throughout the entire game and just has an attitude like "Yeah I'm the princess by blood so it's my right to rule all Dalmascans and no thanks for risking your life for me, peasants!" and distances herself from the rest of the crew at the end of the game because she's royalty and they're proles I guess, really didn't like her character.

      On top of that you also have the whole 'divine predetermination vs. free will' thing running in tandem with the geopolitical drama which even ends up with the protagonists swapping sides toward the end which results in Venat and Vayne still winning even though they are both killed.

    • @jacobkern2060
      @jacobkern2060 2 года назад +1

      Well, good news and bad news on that end.
      Good news is FFXIV's taken its own spin on Ivalice (both FFXII and Tactics) and folded most of it into the world of Etheirys, with Ivalice being the collective name for all the areas on the southeast part of Ilsabard. You can also play as a bunny if you own Shadowbringers for the females or Endwalker for the males.
      Bad news is that it's an MMO and therefore might not be something you're into, and also sales are currently frozen until next Tuesday(?), so you can't get in if you don't have a pre-existing account. Also the bunny boys in FFXIV aren't quite as jacked or feral-looking as the lore of FFXII makes them out to be.

    That theory of Vaan imagining the characters is interesting indeed, it could work if the stone he stole made the Occuria possess him, but this falls apart when other characters don't adress him in cutscenes, unless he's that delusional to think he is more than 1 person, but that would certainly explain why you can only control Vaan in towns and interact with other NPC as him

      Both Reks and Rasler were forgettable for me as well, I know they were the starting point of the game. Even with their soul or spirit appearing from time to time.
      Basch and Ashelia's story plot overshadowed them IMO since throughout of the game it's all about for them. As for the antagonist I forgot what's his face, Larsa's older brother was forgettable as well. Gabranth was cool and he died as he lived a badass.
      Balthier and Fran always steal the show whenever they can, heck even Vaan aspired to be a Sky Pirate when he met Balthier.

    Actually Basch was originally written as the main character but was changed when SqaureEnix Execs pointed out they wanted a more youthful character to reach their target audience. This was a problem as the role of lead character was written for a specific story, so when Vaan was created as replacement, it shows as he's more of an observer in the game (which I still hate with a passion) than a protagonist. Playing this game as a teenager I always believed the main characters to be Ashe, Basch or Balthier.

The combat could of been a lot better if they fixed casting multiple high end spells like scathe and what not. Story is absolutely whatever. Best side content FF.

      That's not the full extent of what they do, though. They show everyone's target, including enemies, not just the character you're controlling. It's especially helpful to know if one of your party members switched targets bc of non-optimal Gambit setups, just to mention one of hundreds of scenarios. I do get that it may stick out, especially if you're new to games with this type of combat system, but it's just a UI element. Can't imagine it without!

Clearly Balthier is the leading man.

      @sereksusvictar7888 2 года назад

      @@FeartheKlown Aye, for this particular story, Ashe probably would have been a better choice for main protagonist. I don't think it would help the story much, or the generally mixed reaction the fans had. But you are correct that the story almost exclusively revolves around her.
      But I stand by my statement. Reks was a better Vaan, and for the short time I got with him, he left a better memory between the two. And while Balthier or Basch would have worked as well, I think both work well as older mentor types with different approaches that Reks could have learned from and played off of better.
      I don't think that Ashe and her story worked for a lot of players. I know more than a few of my friends were not invested in her tale, and quite a bit of those I spoke to online over the years feel the same. It isn't hard numbers, and I'm sure there are more than a few whom loved the tale. But my point is that you don't find that much division in most of their previous titles. And I think it has to do with the story not revolving around the protagonis (Vaan), but also because there was no clear romance either.
      While Ivalice seems to have something against romance, FF 12 was also a mainline title. It would have benefited from following more in its predecessor's footsteps and had the story follow the main character, have him have a love interest or two with their own subplots, and work in a convoluted narrative around that. It's worked surprisingly well for a long time.
      And Ashe would have made a poor choice for main character, under those conditions, because she is a widow and still hung up on her dead husband. I'm pretty sure she shared more scenes with Vaan than either Basch or Balthier for either of them to catch her eyes away from Rasler's ghost.
      But hey, I get wanting to try something new, they've been trying newer, crazy things since with the rest of their mainline titles. But I've always wondered why people are so adamant about reinventing the wheel.
