Final Fantasy XII/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

* [[Bishonen]]

* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Even in the sequels where he is a [[Sky Pirate]], Vaan can never stop doing whats right. Though he still has [[Sticky Fingers]].

* [[Dark Skinned Blond]]

* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: In ''Tactics A2'' and ''Revenant Wings''.

* [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Big Brother]]

Line 34:

* [[The Hero]]: In ''[[Revenant Wings]]''.

* [[Hot Blooded]]: His blood isn't as hot [[Final Fantasy II (Video Game)|as]] [[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|some]], but it's still there.

* [[Infinity ~~Plus One~~ Sword]]: Anastasia in ''Revenant Wings''.

* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]: Anastasia in ''Revenant Wings''.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Subverted in the original game, though he's impulsive and a bit naive, Vaan is clever, resourceful, and has a fair amount of scenes where he shows a more inquisitive and insightful side. The manga however makes this his [[Flanderization|defining trait]], cranking up his [[Hot Blooded|Hot Bloodedness]] and making him rather arrogant and cocky, but lacking the skill and intelligence to back them up.

* [[Impossible Thief]]: ''Revenant Wings'' shows where all the that [[Level Grinding]] from ''XII'' went, as Vaan can casually ''steal concepts and attributes'' from an enemy, up to and including their ''sense of time'', and make use of it himself. He steps it up by ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics a 2]]'', where he's essentially become the [[Carmen Sandiego]] of Ivalice.

Line 91:

* [[Little Miss Snarker]]: Gets a few good snarks on Vaan and Basch especially. This trait is particularly evident in her ''Dissidia'' cameo.

* [[Limit Break]]

** [[Frickin Laser Beams|Intercession]]

** [[Frickin' Laser Beams|Intercession]]

** [[Beam Spam|Evanescence]]

** [[Snow Means Death|Resplendence]]

Line 157:

* [[Outlaw Couple]]

* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: In Revenant Wings, where it leads to a [[Fighting Your Friend|boss battle]] with [[Dual Boss|him and Fran]] and eventually him getting slugged in the face.

* [[Pre Ass Kicking One Liner]]

* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]

* [[Sky Pirate]]

* [[The Charmer]]: Of a more subtle flavor. It doesn't help that he has a beautifully smooth voice, but is noticeable when he and party rescue Penelo.

Line 177:

{{quote| Voiced by [[Rika Fukami]] (Japanese) and [[Nicole Fantl]] (English)}}

Balthier's steadfast companion and a master of weapons, magic and mechanics. Fran is one of the Viera, a [[One Gender Race]] tribe of [[Petting Zoo People|bunny-women]] who live in the Golmore Jungle and command powerful magical abilities, such as the ability to "hear" the god-like spirit of the Wood. Fran disagreed with the Viera's philosophy of isolation and left her home village, sacrificing many of her natural abilities to live a life of freedom.

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Adaptational Badass]]: She's on a far higher tier in the manga, having super-speed and a Blizzard-enchanted claw attack that deals a [[One Hit Kill]] to Firemane and freezes Ghis's sword. In the game, she finds an exit from the Nalbina Dungeons but the magick bindings are too strong to break. The manga, she's perfectly able to break them, it's the Imperials outside that stops them from leaving.

* [[Badass Driver]]

* [[The Big Guy|The Big Girl]]: Class 2, She shares this role with Basch

Line 216:

* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Although not as tall as she appears at first glance because of her ears and stilettos. In reality, she's about the same height as Balthier.

* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: But more amiable than usual. She's just very quiet.

* [[Tall Dark and Bishoujo]]

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]

* [[The Reliable One]]: For a fanservice character who's on the more minor side of the main cast, she's one of the most useful throughout the course of the game, [[Jack of All Stats|average fighting stats notwithstanding]]. She saves members of the main cast not once, not twice, but three times, {{spoiler|rescues her sister}}, indirectly rescues Basch, and is often the one the party turns to for advice, such as directing {{spoiler|the princess to those who can help her with the Sun Cryst}}, translating texts, or just beating up a bunch of guards that have captured everyone. Even though she has to be rescued twice, she's still far more dependable than [[Tagalong Kid|some]] of the [[Girl Next Door|others]] who get more screentime.

* [[The Stoic]]: Generally quiet, dignified and level-headed. However, there are a few moments in the game where her cool cracks a little, leading to...

** [[Not So Stoic]]

* [[Token Non Human]]

* [[Token Non-Human]]

* [[Unusual Ears]]

* [[Verbal Tic]]?: She has a slight but noticeable(and ''[[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping|consistent]]'') lisp due to her overbite. [[Superlative Dubbing]] turns this into a sexy voice - she ''feels'' inherently different from the Hume party members, yet always friendly and understanding.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[The Archer|A bow and arrow]], but unlike other characters her promotional artwork shows her wielding many [[Multi Melee Master|different weapons]] such as swords and guns. She also has a unique bow-firing animation making her fire a bit slower than other characters, even though the bow is her iconic weapon of choice.

* [[White Haired Pretty Girl]]

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]

* [[You Are a Credit To Your Race]]: Averted. Balthier mentions it, but is clearly joking. This doesn't spare him from a well-placed comeback, however.

{{quote| '''Balthier''': (notices Vaan staring at Fran) Not many Viera where you come from, thief?<br />

Line 254:

* {{spoiler|[[El Cid Ploy]]}}: {{spoiler|For his brother.}}

* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]

* [[Good Scars Evil Scars]]

* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]

* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]

* [[Limit Break]]

Line 263:

* [[Rummage Sale Reject]]: Is that a ''potholder?''

* [[The Quiet One]]: He goes a good dozen cutscenes in a row without a peep.

* [[Shell Shocked Veteran]]

* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]

* [[Supporting Leader]]: In story, to Ashe; in gameplay and presentation, to Vaan. [[What Could Have Been|Was originally meant to be]] [[The Hero]], though.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[BFS|Great Swords]] in all sequels and [[Heroes Prefer Swords|normal swords]] in XII.

Line 281:

-----

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Anti Hero]]: Somewhat, during the story's early stages - while she cared for Dalmasca, she wasn't exactly the most level-headed member of the group before her [[Character Development]].

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Somewhat, during the story's early stages - while she cared for Dalmasca, she wasn't exactly the most level-headed member of the group before her [[Character Development]].

* [[Badass]]

** [[Badass in Distress]]

Line 302:

* [[Lady of War]]

* [[Limit Break]]

** [[Light Em Up|Northswain's Glow]]

** [[Light'Em Up|Northswain's Glow]]

** [[Holy Hand Grenade|Heaven's]] [[Beam Spam|Wrath]]

** [[Bolt of Divine Retribution|Maelstrom's]] [[Shock and Awe|Bolt]]

* [[Magic Knight]]/[[Glass Cannon]]: Has high magick and strength stats but her HP is low.

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Blatantly in the game's manga adaptation. So far she's been the subject of a [[Panty Shot]], a [[Shower Scene|bathing scene]], a [[Male Gaze|shot of her half-naked rear]], and a full-frontal scene of her nude with [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]].

* [[Pimped Out Dress]]: Her wedding dress and her funeral dress. But surprisingly not any fancy Queen or Princess dresses are shown.

* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Her wedding dress and her funeral dress. But surprisingly not any fancy Queen or Princess dresses are shown.

* [[Perfectly Arranged Marriage]]: So of course it doesn't end well.

* [[Politically Active Princess]]: Zig-zagged. At first, she tries to take Rabanastre by force. Later, she attempts to reclaim her kingdom by bargaining with [[The Empire]] and other factions for most of the game. Although she's a [[Badass Princess]] and would rather fight against the Archadians, she slowly understands that the easiest way to avoid bloodshed is to take the diplomatic route.

Line 318:

* [[Spare to The Throne]]: If you pay attention to the NPC conversations you will find out that Ashe was the youngest of nine siblings with eight older brothers who have all died from war or sickness.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Heroes Prefer Swords|Swords]] of various different styles, even when she uses [[Throw Down the Bomblet|bombs]] in the sequel she still has a sword in her artwork. She also likes her shield. Even her unarmed animation has her putting up her left hand like she's got one on there.

* [[White Haired Pretty Girl]]: Of the platinum blond variety.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Of the platinum blond variety.

* [[Who Wears Short Shorts]]/[[Magic Skirt]]: Ashe's wardrobe has lent itself to confusion and theorizing as to which one of these it is. Since camera and pose manipulation reveal material of the same color in what would ordinarily be a [[Panty Shot]], some fans have even gone as far as to try to [http://www.scibbe.com/stash/13weeks/ashe_hotpants.jpg make sense of it with complicated, annotated design sketches] (full version [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/39919/ashelia_b-nargin_dalmasca-final_fantasy-final_fant here]).

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

Line 427:

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]

* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]}}: As part of a {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}.

* [[Shell Shocked Veteran]]

* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]

* [[The Sixth Ranger]]: The 3rd and final one to be met in-story.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Dual Wielding]] [[Cool Sword|Cool Swords]], the [[Final Fantasy Tactics|Chirijiraden]] and the [[Non Indicative Name|Ninja Knife]].

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Dual-Wielding]] [[Cool Sword|Cool Swords]], the [[Final Fantasy Tactics|Chirijiraden]] and the [[Non-Indicative Name|Ninja Knife]].

* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Would you belive that he's only ''thirty-three''?

Line 454:

* [[Tragic Keepsake]]: His pendant which Vaan is seen wearing for the entirety of the game.

* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: He is fatally stabbed by Gabranth in order to frame his twin brother for regicide and tortured to give his testimony against Basch because he to was accused of taking part in the murder.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: A standard issue [[Cool Sword|sword]] and [[Luckily My Shield Will Protect Me|shield]].

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: A standard issue [[Cool Sword|sword]] and [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me|shield]].

* [[White Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[White Void Room]]: Vaan remembers his brother dying in one as he sat unresponsive in a catatonic state.

Line 474:

* [[Affably Evil]]: Arguably the most affable villain in the series. When Migelo refuses to drop the "lord consul" title from his name, Vayne invites him to dinner at the palace and tells him he'll get the guy drunk until he gets it right.

* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: To Larsa.

* [[Anti Villain]] ([[Sliding Scale of Anti Villains|Type III]]): While getting to rule the world is a nice plus, Vayne's goal is to {{spoiler|defy the reign of the Occuria by overthrowing those they favor, thus ending their control over the races of Ivalice and giving Mankind freedom from manipulative and controlling gods}}.

* [[Anti-Villain]] ([[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type III]]): While getting to rule the world is a nice plus, Vayne's goal is to {{spoiler|defy the reign of the Occuria by overthrowing those they favor, thus ending their control over the races of Ivalice and giving Mankind freedom from manipulative and controlling gods}}.

** Downplayed in the manga, while Vayne's ulterior motives haven't been shown yet, as it was in the original game, in the manga he's much more manipulative and cruel, getting a new [[Kick the Dog]] moment with Vaan as described below and having his speech to the people of Dalmasca omitted.

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]

* [[Bare Fisted Monk]]

* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]

* [[Big Bad]]

* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: He does a lot to keep Larsa safe and innocent.

Line 492:

* [[Evil Virtues]]

* [[Expy]] Some traits of his match that of [[Final Fantasy II|Emperor Mateus]], including his being the reigning Emperor, his allying himself with a rogue being, and even down to his final defeat on a flying fortress. {{spoiler|Unlike Mateus, however, that defeat was permanent.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Fusion Dance]]/[[One Winged Angel]]: Vayne's final form, The Undying, is a fusion of his dying body with the Occuria Venat with parts of his battleship Bahamut melded onto him}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Fusion Dance]]/[[One-Winged Angel]]: Vayne's final form, The Undying, is a fusion of his dying body with the Occuria Venat with parts of his battleship Bahamut melded onto him}}.

* [[Flying Weapon]]: His Sephira swords.

* {{spoiler|[[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]]: Courtesy of Vaan}}

Line 550:

* [[The Red Mage]]: In the ''International Zodiac Job System'', Larsa becomes one (though different from the Zodiac Job's version of the game). He loses his infinite supply of Hi-Potion, but is granted many powerful white spells before anyone else, and even some black spells (plus the ''Shades of black'' technique), making him a jack of all trades. Combined with his quite high Magic power, high MP pool, his ability to wield a sword and his very high evasion, he is a force to be reckoned with, though he still lacks in the HP department.

* [[The Sixth Ranger]]: The 2nd introduced in the story (after Vossler and before Reddas).

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Dual Wielding|Dual wields]] a [[Royal Rapier]] called [[Public Domain Artifact|Joyeuse]] and a [[Knife Nut|Swordbreaker]].

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: [[Dual-Wielding|Dual wields]] a [[Royal Rapier]] called [[Public Domain Artifact|Joyeuse]] and a [[Knife Nut|Swordbreaker]].

* [[The White Prince]]: While he is certainly skilled in politics especially for a 12 year old boy, he is still incredibly naive.

* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: He's only twelve, but is very intelligent and well-spoken, and manages to play a few rounds of [[Xanatos Speed Chess]] against his older brother.

Line 568:

-----

* [[A God Am I]]: Shows shades of this at the top of the Pharos.

* {{spoiler|[[Anti Villain]]: Just like Vayne and Venat}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Villain]]: Just like Vayne and Venat}}.

* [[Badass Bookworm]]

* [[Catch Phrase]]: His quote above, which pretty much explains his entire character in ten words. Chances are you'll be sick of hearing him say it by the end of the game.

* [[Dual Boss]]: With {{spoiler|Famfrit, who he summons partway through the party's second battle against him}}.

* [[Evil Genius]]: {{spoiler|Not truly evil, but he counts in the traditional sense}}.

* [[For Science]]

* [[For Science!]]

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]

* [[The Gunslinger]]

Line 579:

** [[Guns Akimbo]]

** [[Gatling Good]]

** [[Frickin Laser Beams]]

** [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]

* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: With Vayne.

* [[Large Ham]]: {{spoiler|It runs in the family apparently.}}

Line 588:

* [[Talkative Loon]]: Everywhere he goes, he's incessantly conversing with thin air about his work and plans. {{spoiler|This is because his partner, the rogue Occuria Venat, is [[Invisible to Normals]].}}

* [[Villainous Friendship]]: With Vayne and Venat.

* {{spoiler|[[Well Intentioned Extremist]]}}: {{spoiler|He really wanted to free humanity from the yoke of the Occuria... but then went and tried to take on [[A God Am I|such power himself]]}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]}}: {{spoiler|He really wanted to free humanity from the yoke of the Occuria... but then went and tried to take on [[A God Am I|such power himself]]}}.

* {{spoiler|[[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: He didn't leap over this all the way, thankfully, but the power ''did'' have negative effects on his psyche.}}

Line 600:

* [[Affably Evil]]: Is very polite and well mannered towards others.

* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Is ''specifically'' voiced by a woman, yet the body is ... [[No Biological Sex|confusing]], to say the least. The voice is also digitally modulated to mimic certain masculine vocal inflections too. Since the Occuria leader Gerun is in the same circumstance, it's tough to say whether the Occuria even ''have'' genders at all, or if 'female' is the standard definition for them (as opposed to male). Or they just all have female voices regardless of gender. Either way, it's never specified what gender Venat is, but for simplicity's sake, she's referred to as female in this section from here on out.

* [[Anti Villain]]: Type III.

* [[Anti-Villain]]: Type III.

* {{spoiler|[[Bigger Bad]]}}: {{spoiler|Vayne and Cid are threats, but only because Venat enables them to be.}}

** {{spoiler|[[The Man Behind the Man]] The Being Behind the Man}}

Line 607:

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: That ink splot on the cover, alongside the Judge? It's her.

* {{spoiler|[[Fusion Dance]]: With Vayne at the end.}}

** {{spoiler|[[One Winged Angel]]}}

** {{spoiler|[[One-Winged Angel]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Pet the Dog]]}}: {{spoiler|The above quote, where after Vayne is mortally wounded, Venat offers up her immortality so that he doesn't have to die alone. Similarly, her final farewell to Dr. Cid.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Pyrrhic Victory]]}}: {{spoiler|Again, as the above quote explains, although every weapon in her arsenal lies broken, and she herself is about to commit [[Suicide By Cop]], she technically wins}}.

Line 614:

* {{spoiler|[[Necessarily Evil]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Satan Is Good]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Well Intentioned Extremist]]}}: {{spoiler|See the entry on [[Blue and Orange Morality]].}}

Line 657:

* [[The Dragon]]: He's Vayne's right-hand man.

** [[Co Dragons]]: With Zargabaath.

* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: {{spoiler|"You confound me, brother! You failed Landis, you failed Dalmasca, all you were to protect. Yet you still hold on to your honor. How!?"}}

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Basch. He was also is an antithesis for Vaan and Ashe who at the games emotional apex chose to [[Turn the Other Cheek]] on the man who destroyed their entire lives while he spent his life mulling in his hatred for Basch.

* {{spoiler|[[Evil Twin]]}}: He's actually a Deconstruction of this trope, having initially had good reason to {{spoiler|hate his brother}}. By the events of the game however, {{spoiler|Noah}} was serving the country who originally assimilated his homeland of Landis. This may originally have been justified to him by {{spoiler|his and Basch's mother being Archadian}}, but by the game's events he's gradually falling ever further, whereas {{spoiler|Basch was able to put his life back together and fight on even when all his honour seemed lost}}. That neither side is entirely right or wrong keeps this trope from being played straight, much like the treatment [[The Determinator|so]] [[Mad Scientist|many]] [[Satan Is Good|others]] [[A God Am I|tropes]] [[Anti Villain|in]] [[Weapon of Mass Destruction|the game]] [[Shades of Conflict|are given]].

The final of the five Archadian Judges seen in the game, he's more the quiet type and acts as a voice of reason among them. He's an honourable sort, loyal to Archadia as a nation and ideal rather than any person. {{spoiler|Is notably the only Judge to make it out of the game alive}}.

-----

* [[Anti Villain]]: Type IV.
