Recently, I've begun reading a fan translation of the Final Fantasy XII manga, it's quite good. It'd recommend checking it out here: https://bato.to/comic/_/comics/final-fantasy-xii-r980 (You have to log in or register for a bato.to account to read it, but it's worth it and way better than aggregator sites and has no ads.

Here are my thoughts after reading the first volume:
I would only recommend this manga to people that enjoyed playing Final Fantasy XII, and would like to know even more information about the characters. This manga is not a good supplement for playing the game, which I highly recommend you do first and then read the manga afterward. I absolutely love FFXII and Princess Ashelia B’nargin Dalmasca was my favorite character in the game, so that’s the main reason why I enjoyed this.

All of the characters are totally in character in this manga adaptation, but I honestly think that this manga was created with people that have already played the game in mind. The only reason this didn’t get a perfect score from me is that the art is a bit lackluster, which is disappointing because FFXII is one of the most gorgeous games on Playstation 2. The buildings and airships look great, but sometimes the character’s expressions and proportions look off and sort of like the artist rushed them or didn’t reference the game’s concept art enough.
