I think that it probably is-- since Final Fantasy Land is so damn expansive.
However I can tell you there are two pairings I really do like in FFXII.
Larsa/Penelo-- I think that is one of those pairings that a lot of people don't see too often because they so often want to pair Van up with Penelo, but every time I see the two of them bonding in the cutscenes, I know that they are a great pair. Penelo with her commoner roots, and Larsa of royalty, I can see the both of them learning from any alliance. Not to mention older woman, come on-- Larsa strikes me as someone who's serious nature would probably be attracted to the sunshine that Penelo brings.
Then there is Basch/Balthier== yeah, yeah-- I know that Fran/Balthier is canon but I don't follow canon too closely when it suits me. And well okay, so I also admit it was some nice fanart (I used to have some great Basch/Baltheir icons that got lost in the sands of LJ time). But the two of them also mess in their own way with their opposite personalities-- and Balthier's ties to the empire which I am sure that Basch can commiserate with. (And Basch, he is one of my favorite FF characters, I mean look at it.. HIS POT HOLDER. I mean, his fashion choices were pretty fricking epic-- how can I not like someone who wears a pot holder strapped to his chest like armor?
