![]() I didn't hate it per se but the systems drove me nuts. There is a timeline linking the two games and I believe it is strongly implied that the advanced ancient civilization mentioned in FFT is the world of XII.Īnyway, I tried Vagrant Story but couldn't get into it many years ago. As for XII, it is definitely the FFT Ivalice in the past. There is a quote by Alazlam Durai from FFT in Vagrant Story for what it's worth but other than that and some names, there is little concrete eveidence showing the worlds are the same. I believe the ties Vagrant Story has to the FFT are rather weaker than the ties between FFT and XII. I would've been inclined to guess that anyway due to all the odd races first introduced in FFTA, but again there is no mention of Vagrant Story, which may or may not share the same world as Tactics. We'd like to show a different version of Ivalice. But I would say that it's another version of the world you've seen previously. Minaba: If you ask me what the world of Ivalice in FFXII is, it's something that's only in the director's mind, so it's hard to say what it's going to be or how different it's going to be. Q: Is the Ivalice of FFXII the same Ivalice as that of Tactics? In the end, it was an arcane weapon crafting sim with some extra content tossed on top for me. But the amount of effort required in crafting just to play the damn game makes it take up way, way, way too much of the game. I'll allow that it could take longer to make a devastating weapon, that's fine. If you have air/fire/etc and blunt/spear/sword/etc I should be able to combine a functional weapon in under 10 minutes for any given enemy without consulting a FAQ. Even with the aid of a FAQ, the system killed the game for me. Seriously, if you don't know how to craft better weapon types, train up affinities, combine items of different materials, qualities, and types seemingly at random the game is God damn frustrating.Īt one point, I spent a full hour randomly sticking stuff together and then reloading in an attempt to craft a weapon that could so much as scratch my new enemies. I call it "Go consult a FAQ right now or you'll get your ass kicked in each new area" inane. The problem with this game is the much-lauded crafting system. Could had been fantastic if it made sense, as even with a FAQ it is hard to understand.Ĭompletely spot on. I believe that this is a rare comic and is in vg shape. Some stats seem absolutely useless, others make no sense, and navigating the complex menus is way slower than it should be. After a few more moments of me just staring at him, he put it away and just waved me off to go back to work.The game totally fails at making its mechanics discoverable from experimentation or logic. My boss continued to sit there, staring at me for a bit, before he actually pulled out a write-up sheet. Me: “Not in the women’s restroom where anyone can walk in, and not when there is a gym right across the parking lot that has publicly-available showers.”Īt that point, the man in the suit picked up his bag from against the wall and just walked out, with the vagrant shouting at him as he followed. ![]() Vagrant: “Y-you don’t know about… Times are hard I’ve got to do what I can and-” Utter silence falls, as my boss is basically cringing behind his desk, looking between us, and the man in the suit, who I’m guessing is a lawyer, is giving the vagrant man a look of disgust. Me: “You were in the women’s restroom, giving yourself a bath from the sink!” Vagrant: “I’m gonna have your job for this!” Vagrant: “You can’t treat people like that!” On this day, I get called back into the back office to find my boss - who is kind of a coward - a man in a suit, and an older man who I recognize as a vagrant I had to kick out of the store a while ago.īoss: “, did you kick this man out two weeks ago?” ![]() ![]() One of the Clan Primer Ranks in Final Fantasy XII is Riskbreaker. Leamonde Entites appear in Final Fantasy XII in the Nabreus Deadlands in the continent of Valendia. I will try to help out on occasion, but there are limits. Valendia is one of the continents in Final Fantasy XII and the calendar used in game is known as the Old Valendian Calendar. The area where I work has a fairly high homeless population, who will often hang around in the area, looking for people to pay for a meal for them. ![]()
