Knight Character = Basch his twin brother who betrayed Dalmasca was Gabranth

Problems with the Story:
Vann = I love his character, but he is a very poor protag.  Basch would have been a much better central character
Lady Ashe = Her obsession with revenge really damages her character.  She is supposed to be the great rebel leader, but her attitude is that of a spoiled child willing to exact revenge at all and any costs.
Balthier = Best groupable character in the game, and would have been a better central character than Vann.  His story and character development are not used very well in the overall story.
Basch = Disgraced noble knight again would have been a better central character
Lord Vayne = what a craptacular and uninteresting bad guy
Going out to grind levels for hours is more interesting than moving the story along and that's a problem.
Larsa = The best part of the story (well ahead of Balthier).  Every experience with him is good and done well, yet after the emporer is murdered, he's almost forgotten.

Side note:  Combat in FF games has sucked since FF12.  They had the perfect system and keep changing it.  I can't stand FF13/FF15.

Couldn't agree more. And yet despite the Disney-esque characters and story the combat, atmosphere and exploring all make it my favorite.

If Shake REALLY wants a hot take. FFXIII > VII. Don't @ me
