I do love FFXII dearly. I'm just sad that the characters didn't live up to the political plot, and frankly, the stunning world. I don't think I've been so utterly sucked into a world like I have been been sucked into Ivalice. But... there was just something... missing.
The FFXII characters are difficult to draw. It's really taking me a while to honestly get USED to drawing them, because as someone mentioned before - it's hard to translate them to a style well, particularly anime-style. They're very awkward.
I find that because FFXII looks so realistic, one has to have a very realistic style to do them justice.
Fran and Balthier are my favourites, though I didn't hate a single character. No one had that generic clone-status to them - Penelo did not end up being a Yuffie/Rikku/Selphie, for example. Characters were unique.
But they didn't have that much... DEPTH. They had the POTENTIAL.
I find Vaan is extremely boyish, and while Larsa threw me off at first, now I can't see how he is girly... he's like 12, isn't he? Lots of boys aren't quite masculine then.
I just wish people wouldn't do the girl-boy thing with Balthier, Vaan, etc... it's just so creepy, especially when Vaan is more built than most guys ever are. Christ.
400+ FFXII pictures, mostly Fran and Balthier, but... 4chan is really slow on my computer, so it's hard to do anything with it. I can rarely upload :(
