Maybe he'll have the power to steal other character's moves, and do all the things other main characters can, just not as well.

Kinda like Bartz?

The link ain't working for me. Just sends me to the home page.

Personally, I'd like Galuf to be a "steal the other characters' moves" powerset. See, he could be a Blue Mage, and contrast Bartz's moveset by having moves from all the Chaos characters, while Bartz has the Cosmos characters' attacks as a Mimic.

Can't comment on FF 5's characters - don't remember enough about them, I'm afraid.

Anyway, does this link work better?

Only much worse!

But, to be serious, if Vaan is a playable character and doesn't just appear in a cameo (s'also possible that his voice actor's doing someone without a voice from previous games, you know) or something to that effect, I wonder what kinds of moves he'll be given. If I had to guess, I'd say they'll be drawn from his appearances in Revenant Wings and Grimoire of the Rift, since Final Fantasy Twelve left most of the playable characters as blankslates - fighting style wise.

There's a lot of ways the game can use a character like Vaan, so despite how much I dislike him, I'm pretty curious what he'll be like when it comes out.

Yeah, about that...

...it was just wishful thinking anyway.

Well, it's not like he won't do an okay job at it. We can always bank on them having better writing this time around...

Vaan doesn't seem all that bad to me. Then again I just started playing FFXII.

Run, you fool, while there's still hope! Do you want to end up like NonCon!?


Joking aside, you could do worse. The weapon system is totally great. I just hated the plot and characters and how slow the plot, characters, and battle flow were. Also the shop system. There's a good political drama and game buried in there if you have the patience to wait through all the slog. I just didn't feel any reason to. My brother gave it more of a chance than I did, which is how I know there's something of value in it. It just hit a lot of wrong buttons for me.

Considering that I got FFXII and FFX-2 for free from my uncle who had re bought them by accident (and Mana Khamia for PS2 but never mind that). I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
