And once the initial observations are made, everything diverges. The point here,В though, isВ that even if you wereВ to grantВ these paltry parallels as valid,В they exist only inasmuch as establishing principles. Lastly, theВ вЂњmasked villainвЂќ is in fact one of five masked villains, none ofВ them evenВ the central antagonist (the familial connection isВ that one isВ twin-brotherВ to Basch, a protagonist), and all rather more visually comparableВ to rococo amalgam knights than techno-samurai Darth Vader.

It is entirely possible that it was then culled from Star Wars, but by now the FF series has gone on long enough that the anti-imperialist trope can be seen as series-separate.В The mercenary being referredВ to isВ the character of Balthier, who has more in common from Coba, of Space Adventure Cobra,В than Han Solo. There are no accidental brother-sister kisses, but there is a masked villain with a surprising familial connection to one of the protagonists.ДЄn empire/resistance struggle has been an in-series plot point since Final Fantasy 2. YouвЂ™ve got a suave mercenary who claims to only be helping the heroes because heвЂ™s after money. YouвЂ™ve got a central conflict between a nasty imperial force and scrappy rebels. I donвЂ™t care aboutВ the overall essay being boringly adequate вЂ“В thatвЂ™s most videogame analysis (this one even canвЂ™t help breakingВ things down into a list) вЂ“ but I do careВ that it perpetuates some lazy ideas, andВ the worst amongВ them is SchreierвЂ™s claimВ thatВ вЂњthe gameвЂ™s story is basically Star Wars.вЂќ ItвЂ™s a claimВ thatвЂ™s hung around since FFXIIвЂ™s release, andВ to understand how insubstantial it is you only haveВ to look at SchreierвЂ™s comparative points. Hoo-boy! Here is one: KotakuвЂ™s official review forВ the game, written by Jason Schreier.

AndВ this meantВ that I hadВ to peruse half-year-old takesВ to see how Ugh they were. A copy arrived just when I was coming down with a bad cold, oneВ that lasted nearly a week, making its arrivalВ timely and the re-experience a little more memorableВ than it perhaps otherwise wouldвЂ™ve been. So IвЂ™m playingВ through Final Fantasy XII:В The Zodiac Age, a touched up rerelease of FFXII, now.

I just donвЂ™t see the point in nabbing a thing as soon as possible for full price if IвЂ™m occupied with other stuff and donвЂ™t intend on engaging some communal phenomenon. InВ this respect, IвЂ™m probably a pretty normal human being and aВ terrible candidate for a videogame journalist (thank goodness).

Often IвЂ™m late to play the videogames I wantВ to play.
