Inventory | /facepalm I was hovering my cursor over this thread and saw Balthier to be a judge...just great...I'll let myself ponder but I'm pretty sure I saw he was an EX-judge. I'm locking this thread for myself. Never to look at it again. | ||||||||||||

Inventory | I don't know if this actually really surprised me, but the scenes in the Pharos are what got me hooked on the game and made it one of my top 5 FF games of all time. | ||||||||||||

| I too was surpirsed to see that Balthier was a judge. Although when I found out, I thought about his charecter and only then realised that he was well suited to be a judge. I would have liked to see mabey and flashback with Balthier fighting in a war or somthing as a judge. I think it would look somthing like this ( | ||||||||||||

Inventory | I don't think there was anything that really surprised me. There were a few things that could have been surprising... if the scenes had had a "surprising atmosphere". (So, now I think I've confused everyone XD) The thing about XII was the following: No atmosphere. Even the most emotional parts of the game were just.. normal scenes without emotion. Like the scene with Basch and Vossler. I could've fallen asleep if I'd been tired. (I wasn't, but it was really boring XD") So there was no moment like "WTF?! Never would've thought that THIS would happen!" in this game for me. .-." I wasn't surprised about Balthier being a judge, either. Must be because I didn't care about him XD" | ||||||||||||

| If your talking about story related surprises, I would say that the part that surprised me was when Judge Gabranth removed his helmet and you saw that he was Basch's twin brother, and he framed Basch when he killed King Raminas. Yes, I'll also agree that the part where you discover that Balthier was once a judge himself was surprising. Also, finding out Balthier's true name was a bit of a shock, because the name sounds so silly to me (Ffamran mied Bunansa? Blech....thank goodness he changed it, lol). Gameplay wise, I have to say that hunting marks turned out to be surprisingly addictive for me. I usually don't have a great passion for side quests in FF games, but this was one that really got into! I spent many hours questing for those marks, and I still have 2 to go. | ||||||||||||

Inventory | I was surpised this game was such a piece of shit, crap story, annoying characters, unmotivating battle system, i just mashed whatever and killed everything with ease. I stopped playing it near the end as i didnt care for finding out the whole boring story, which is a first for me since i started playing FF's ![]() Generally im hooked from early start to finish and then some, not this time.. I hope this is not going to be a reoccuring trend for future FF's ![]() | ||||||||||||

| Reproducing is fun. | The part that suprised me the most was at the end when I was left standing there thinking to myself "I stood in line on release day and payed over 50 bucks for this??? WTF was SE thinking" Given the game wasn't horrible but it should of never been tagged with the FF logo in my opinion. I wasn't suprised that Balthier and looking back it was quite obvious. His whole attitude screamed judge. He has no characteristics of even being a pirate let alone a sky pirate. The only thing that suprised me was at how weak some of the legendary blades where. It was kind of sad actually. Really story wise the only suprise was when Fran went ape shit on the airship. ::edit:: Was there a point in doing this? Really? Resorting to flaming Nix for stating an opinion, tsk tsk. Last edited by Meier Link; 09-03-2009 at 05:09 AM.. | ||||||||

| I never thought that he was a Judge, or an Ex-Judge, this is interesting. I'm guessing you only find this out at the end of the Game or something like that. I Still have to beat Vayne Solidor, so, yeah, I'm almost done, I'm just Training a whole lot so I can Murk him...LOL ![]() | ||||||||||||
