So many of you know i just finished FFT. So i picked up FFTA2 again. I dont know why.
I quit the first time cause i couldnt get over the Judges being little bitches and the new laws meaning absolutely nothing, and also being impossible to avoid sometimes (no critical hits, etc)
(Note: I played FFTA first so obviously its my favorite. FFTA2 was second, but it utterly disgusted me. And i played FFT last but i liked it alot.)
So i kinda tricked myself into believing these flaws are ok. I made up some ridiculous story in my head tying all the
FFT centers around a terrible war, the "War of the lions".
So after the War of the Lions:The war was so devisating with all the violence, betrayal, and death, that a council put together a circle of judges to regulate skirmishes and battles. Also, the powerful law magic was discovered/created to make fighting tedious and undesirable out of fear of going to jail for breaking the law.
This system was still present hundreds of years later when Invalice began to be a centralized country for trade and new races began to become common (Bangaa,Moogle,Nu Mou,Viera, and new monster breeds).
I like to think that FFTA centers around the beginning of the end for the "Law/Judge" system. Marche, Ezel and Cid help bring down Queen Remedie who symbolizes and embodies the Law magicks.
The Judges are pretty diluted in A2 because laws are still effective, but being slowly removed. The Judges simply are there to uphold clan bonuses and ensure that Phoenix down and revive magicks can be properly used, as well as
FFTA2 would be only about a hundered years later when the High council is phasing out the Law magic. Most of the legendary whispers about Marche have died down and its forgotten that there was another who tread the land of Invaice after being transported by a magic book.
tl;dr: FFTA2 was terrible the first time i played it, now i bargined with my self and now i think i can play it. Charged with the task of "exploring, have fun, and eventually get back home" i think i can do it this time.
