Playing through FFXII again Part 1: Forgot how good this game is

So I recently upgraded my TV in my bedroom because my old CRT TV in there was beginning to die.  New flatscreen with a built in DVD player means I don't have to connect a DVD player to the thing to watch movies late at night.  It also means my old PS2 is getting some much needed attention and what better way to test it out than a long ass JRPG?! 
 
I played most of the way through Final Fantasy XII before and remember liking it; My old save files have 90+ hours on them (I alternate between two save slots), but I know it's been way too long to just jump in to those again.  So many systems to relearn, such high level fights.  So I just started all over.  Loving it so far. 
 
The main thing I've noticed about it though has nothing to do with the gameplay, the slightly outdated graphics (though honestly not bad) or the utter strangeness inherent to all JRPGS.  It actually has to do with one of the main characters, Captain Basch.  Maybe I'm just imagining things, but he looks a helluva lot like James Hetfield of Metallica.  Here... have a look below
  
Am I crazy?  Or do these dudes look alike to you too?     Anyway, i might keep this going, if I feel like it, I might not.  I'm about 10 hours into my new palythrough, we'll see how long that lasts.
