FFXII - Basch & Co. Sing: "I'll Make a Man Out of You"

Basch is the main vocal in this (musical) music video.

The musical number is called: "I'll Make a Man Out of You" - Basch (with some help of Vossler, Reddas and Gabranth) is trying to make "a real man" out of the other characters in Final Fantasy XII (main focus being: Vaan, Reks and Rasler :P).

--- I am reading every single comment posted on this video; thank you all for your kind words!

This video is dedicated to everyone who has grown tired of JRPG pretty boys and who urges to see many more manly characters like Basch as main heroes :D

SAD FACT:
Yasumi Matsuno (who is now only credited for FFXII's "Story and Concept") was originally attached as FFXII's director - Matsuno created a story with Basch as the central figure; however, the Japanese focus-group did not approve to have an "older" man as the main character...thus 17-year-old Vaan entered the picture :/
This creative difference was one (the main?) reason why FFXII went through major development issues - Matsuno eventually stepped-down as the director of FFXII and left half-way through its development.

Here is an early art-picture of Basch (at a time when he was still considered as the main character).

^ It saddens me when I think about: "what could have been" :(

@MachineKing32 Really he is plotwise :P

[MachineKing32]

Basch was apparently going to be the main character instead of Vaan.

[Sephyros74]

Thumbs up if you think Vaan's face should've been synched with Mulan's voice

[kykiskavalon]

lol! nice video! basch is always my fav char in FF12! But Rasler is my fav too :D

I agree that Basch should be the main char in a game. He is a mighty knight!!!

[ChocoboInvasion]

Hilarious :D Love Vaan's face when he says "Now I really wish that I knew how to swim" :D It fits SO well :)

PS: Mulan's my favourite Disney movie <3

I love FF12 with all characters! :D Okay, more emotions would be nice, but it's okay I think :)))
