The problem with FF12 is there's barely any story. What little there was had promise and seemed interesting, but there was so little of it that I ended up not caring at all about what was going on. The characters also had next to no development what so ever. Vaan and Penelo were just kind of there and if they had fallen off the face of the planet, the story wouldn't have skipped a beat. At least Fran was kind of important since she's the only way you could get into her village, but other than that she was also just kind of there.
Not even the sidequests had anything to do with character or plot. The only time anyone says a damn thing is when you beat up those bounty hunter guys, but even then Balthier says about three sentences. Mostly you just wander around various locations and take out monsters. It's also like that with the plot. Go through a dungeon and maybe you'll get a short scene if you're lucky.
Overall, I was just throughly disappointed with how little they tried concerning character and plot development. Pretty graphics and a different battle system can only go so far.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
