Final Fantasy XII/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** This is a case of unavoidable [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|gameplay and story segregation]] a level 99 Vaan/Penelo team would have been able to hack their way to the last boss effortlessly, which would have killed any challenge

* Seriously, what was up with {{spoiler|Vayne's}} second form? I mean, we've seen many, many people with manufacted nethicite enhancements, and none of them were so...physically... affected.

** This is your body. This is your body on Nethicite. Any questions?

* Does the mist that occurs before the use of manufacted nethicite manifest itself differently for different people? For example, {{spoiler|Bergan, Dr. Cid and Vayne}} all have different manifestation colors--though there really is no apparent reason for this.

** From a certain point of view, the Occuria can be seen as [[Benevolent Alien Invasion|benevolent gods]] who only wanted to keep the world in order. It's thanks to their intervention that Raithwall managed to bring peace by unifying all the land under his rule. Too bad Ashe wasn't of the Light-Law alignment. Uh... feeling the [[Shin Megami Tensei (Franchise)|MegaTen]] vibe here guys?

*** Remember, though, that they explicitly wanted Ashe to wipe out Archadia. Not just beat their armies and free Rabanastre, but ''wipe out the whole empire''. After Ashe has met some fundamentally decent people (like Larsa) from the empire.

** You also might as well ask why some segments of humanity took control of 'lesser' humans and tried to 'civilize' them; because they honestly thought that they were helping them. After all, if you are superior, why wouldn't you want those lesser people to become more like you?

* The pronunciation "mahr-KWISS". It's French, people.

* It might just be this troper, but a lot about the {{spoiler|Feol Viera}} in Revenant Wings have been bugging me: {{spoiler|First, why settle in a volcano, of all places? It could erupt at any moment with little or no time for escape, not to mention it doesn't support much in terms of food or clean water. Second, if they fled to the volcano, what were they being chased by? The Viera in general almost never leave the Wood, so they weren't likely to pursue them. Also, once their "pursuers" left, did they ever think to leave the volcano for a forest or some other place to live?}}

** Weren't they waiting there {{spoiler|for Feolthanos to come and bring them to Lemures?}}

**** {{spoiler|What if it wasn't the Viera themselves who called them outcasts, but the Green Word/the Wood? It's stated the Wood knows "all that happens beyond Her boundaries", if I got the quote right, and that the Wood is basically the Viera's own version of Mognet. If any area where Viera can hear the Green Word is either part of the Wood or at least A Wood, and considers the Feol Viera as intruders, odds are they'd be chased out by beasties like the Elder Wyrm that are one with the wood and "suffer no intruders". Adding to that, it's acknowledged that the Feol Warren does have trees growing there in a description (something about how "the dwellings built with this warped wood eagerly await death's release") so it's probably not IN the volcano but CLOSE to it, so it could be that the place is a warped Wood and possibly the only place of refuge where the Feol are able to hear the Green Word? Yes, last line was an asspull, but it would sort of make sense.}}

**** {{spoiler|I highly doubt that the "Wood" would be capable of ''that'' much, since it doesn't really move or do anything to keep the Viera withing its trees. Unless the games actually show this, I'd say the "Wood" is just something the Viera made up.}}
