    This game is the true Final Fantasy XII (Blue Dragon is XI), I don't care what any of y'all say. After constant disappointments from post-Enix merge Final Fantasy finding this game was like a defibrillator for my love of great JRPGs. Only real downside was that its villain was pretty boring. But the story was great, the backstory was even better, Kaim is the best Final Fantasy protagonist. Yes, he's a Final Fantasy protagonist. Fuck you. But he's really interesting and every new chapter of the Thousand Years of Dreams was just the right kind of feelsy or heartbreaking and genuinely engaging to read, probably my favourite part of the game. Mack was sweet and Cooke was fun and I usually hate kid characters. I couldn't stand Jensen at first and even he ended up developing into a really likeable character by the end. This game has everything I miss in old JRPGs apart from an overworld. I love vanilla turn-based combat and I love random encounters. Fight me.
    Oh yeah, and Nobuo Uematsu. No further comment needed.

      Editing … In fact I decided to add all the soundtrack songs as pages and in doing so I'm re-listening to the ost on YouTube and goddamn, I forgot just how amazing it is

      Editing … Nobuo Uematsu is awesome. He also did a great soundtrack for The Last Story, but that game spent too much time switching between some whack Call of Duty-style corridor action...
