Look, I thought your points were pretty valid from the beginning. It seemed you knew your stuff, and formed a reasonable opinion. Then you started copying articles from Wikipedia without giving a source, masking your lack of FF lore and hoping that no one would care enough to check.
Am I supposed to be writing a college thesis here that I have to list my sources and references? Or am I
using any unlicensed resource for personal monetary benefit? The reason I use Wikipedia is to double check my facts. Plus, there are a number of instances in this argument where I clearly stated when and where said evens occur in the games themselves, something that Wiki
doesn't do. One needs a critical organ called a brain to process all this "complex" information and your failure to do so
This after claiming to be a fan of the series.
I am. There's nothing you can say or do to prove otherwise.
Then you insult my spelling, when you can't even spell Braska right. That's worse than my error, because I was going off of spoken dialogue. Venat is never mentioned on any website or literature connected to the game. You spelled Braska wrong after being surrounded by the name countless times. Talk about brainfarts...
I can't even keep track of how many times you've recycled the "reading comprehension" argument against me, yet have clearly shown a distinct inability to grasp the obvious. I'll just reply to this tangent of yours with a previous quote:
Fenrir said:
It was a typo, dumbass, not a deliberate misspelling blunder like yours. Can't you even figure that out after seeing I used "Brasca" only once but "Braska" several other times?
Fenrir said:
You moron, most of the information about the history between Jecht, Braska and Auron is contained in the Jecht Spheres that trigger cutscenes whenever you find one. "Supplemental literature"?
Fenrir said:
He refused to marry the daughter of a high priest and was cast out. Braska too was deemed an outcast for marrying a "heathen" Al Bhed woman who bore him a child that was half al-Bhed. Since both men shared a common ground, Braska enlisted Auron to become his guardian.
Fenrir said:
He didn't "raise" Tidus, you nitwit. Tidus knew of him as his father's friend. Since both were Braska's guardians.
Your views on the storyline would have been valid, but you show lack of comprehension on the game's most clearly defined plot developments.
Yet it is
you who has been consistently sidestepping the points that have been raised thus far. Irony is a ***** indeed.
The characters clearly explain what is happening, yet it slips your grasp. Poor reading comprehension indeed.
I never said that the characters
don't explain what is happening, chimpy. I said what is there is not enough in terms of character development and plot diversity.
"
Poor reading comprehension indeed."
L-A-W-L.
And that's not even including the Gamespot article you so heavily endorsed, yet in the end had nothing to do with any problems you brought up in your argument.
Isn't it funny that even the most insulting verbal provocations aren't enough to coax you to properly read my posts:

Jesus...
read you incorrigible bane of humanity you,
READ!

The review states that FFXII has "a good story (as a game) overall" and by all accounts I agree. But it doesn't compare FFXII's storyline to other Final Fantasies or even that of other games that have a much better story. My criticism was aimed at showing how high did the storyline of FFXII measure up against other similarly acclaimed games in it's class and the result is not good enough.
It's clear you're losing ground, Fenrir. You can't even make a decent argument anymore.
Says the one who resorts to childish and pitiful tactics by running away cyring to the mods because he's getting slapped around in an argument. Your failure in sufficiently responding to
two posts of mine makes it abundantly clear who's "losing ground" and "can't make a decent argument anymore". Bet that shot to the foot feels
mighty good right about now, doesn't it chuck?
Half of your posts consist of insults and finger pointing. No one can take you seriously anymore. Who knows how much of your past arguments have been copied and pasted. You're a joke. For someone quick to jump on other's flaws and inconsistencies, you sure do make alot of mistakes and misintrepretations yourself. You're a hypocrite.
Ah, so you jump on me for insulting and finger-pointing, yet in the very same paragraph, have no qualms with calling me "a joke" and a "hypocrite". A paradox unto thyself art thou of epic proportions.
It's no use arguing with you anymore. Yes, I know you'll take that as a sign of weakness and probably won't let me hear the end of it.
That's because it is. No way around it, junior.
The truth is, you're just not worth it.
Pity you didn't realize it sooner when you got your panties in a bunch over my criticism of the game in the first place.
"fenrir said something bad about FF12?! OMG WTF!!1!!!"
This time though, read past the first paragraph.
I suggest you do the same when going through my own posts.
