//FF12: Fran & Balthier. @dezie These two sky pirates are my favourite characters from the illustrious world of Ivalice in Final Fantasy 12. Their dynamic is similar to Han Solo and Leia Organa. <Scene> Balthier: Easy, Fran Fran: Haven't you best be off? That's what a sky pirate does. You fly, don't you? Balthier: I suppose you better hang on then.

Thanks. It's in my top 10 for sure and it has the #1 hardest boss fight I've ever beaten. [It took me 3 hours for every one of my 60-70 failed attempts before defeating "Yiazmat".] https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Yiazmat_(Final_Fantasy_XII)

Beautiful! I loved the airships no matter what FF it was. I also played 1-3 when those came out and some of 7. All had cool airships (for their time).

EternaSky

exactly! i mean if i asked him to do FFVII or FFX. it will never ever happen. and that was back when we were "kids".

EternaSky

so i used to ask my elder brother to "take the controller and run my character around, they'll take care of it"

Needless to say, I don't know the game, only heard of it and my son played some of them. Lovely images

JMN

Thanks dezie. Yeah, FF12 was the main reason why I love them as a concept. Treasure Planet was cool too~
