  • I personally think Balthier was just a little threatened by Al-Cid's charm. He's always saying about being the leading man (when technically Vaan is) and this Al-Cid struts in all cool and smooth. Of course he's going to be jealous.

  • When vann step in and said its our charge he looked at ashe smiling and ashe looked at him at first surprised than happy but than when penelo stepted in and said something she lost her smile... penelo messed it all up they had a cute moment ...... Ashe/Vann

  • lmao that Al-Cid guy cracks me up for some reason x'D

    Haha I love how Balthier is jealouss!~

    I think, when Bathier saw Fran right there next to him, he quickly tried to change his attitude because he didnt want any of his friends to notice his jealousy, especially Fran because she is his closest friend who he's known the longest. What kind of leading man is jealous after all?xD

    And as for Fran, she didnt look mad at all. Matter of fact she seemed to smile like "Oo, so you have a thing for her?~"

  • @XalonewaitingKairiX If I'm not mistaken that is! It looked like she was more like smiling.

    And this is coming from both a Balthier/Ashe, and Balthier/Fran fan! <3~

  • Is it bad that, since Al-Cid is the only character with shades, I kinda half-expected him to pull a "Caruso" at the end there?

  • Balthier is disgusted by this dude.

  • Al Cid sounds like Zevran from Dragon Age Origins :p

  • balthier wants some princess panties :P

  • Im pretty sure half of ashe's lines come with exhaling and gasps

  • Balthier and Fran, what what.

  • The bg music here is quite Star Wars-ish, just like the game.

  • Lol Balthier sighs out of jealousy but then remembers he's right next to Fran! oops, wouldn't want her to get mad at him. :P

  • balthier, balthier, balthier... the leading man just cant stand that sort of competiton eh??

  • Both Al-Cid and Balthier are such pimps. XD

    I find it weird that they JUST had a cutscene with Fran & Balthier and then this one has Ashe and Balthier. I guess the producers wanted to show how much of a ladies man he is. :P

  • I love how he calls his female attendants his birds and uses them as spies.

  • Al-Cid's way of talking is annoyed. However, it is interesting.

  • tink u

  • Gotta love the look Fram gives Balthier after that jealous sigh. x3

  • A little sigh from Balthier there? Interesting. xD

  • again balthier, jealous 3:54

  • BAHAMUT!!!

    SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

    *dances*

  • lol when I first watching this I thought they were referring to the real Bahamut. They speak as though its the Summon Bahamut; all the "drinking of Mist" & "awakening of something large". I thought it was quite cool.

    But in reality, this Bahamut is just another airship, albeit a supersized one.

  • the Bahamut is not a airship more like a big battlestation

  • More like the Death Star...

  • "Al-Cid : Such things I will show you"

    Hehe =)

  • I thought I wouldn't like Al-Cid when I first saw him. But know I do. somehow ^ ^

    And my personal opinion is, that the producers of the game spend to much time with the fighting-thing in the game. Often I forget the storyline while running around for hours, to get better levels. It's fun but a little to much sometimes. And I would be happy if there would be more romantic storylines in it.

    But whatever, I still like the game and the different characters very much. And Balthier the most ^ ^

  • HAHA! I love the last few seconds! 3:55-4:07 Balthier's expression is so funny! and that look of Fran's! lol

  • @spirited154

    Yay that was priceless. :D

  • 3:57

    Game recognizes game, as they say

  • Balthier is jealous!

  • lol. love his expressions

  • hehe he's used to being the drop dead gorgeous guy ^__^

  • bahamut shouldve been an esper. i was saddened by it being a superairship/fortress thing.

  • Ivalice follows different lore than do prior FF's. Bahamut is a summoned monster not an esper. If you've noticed, the names of ALL of the imperial airships in FF12 are the names of summoned monsters. Bahamut is the ultimate summoned monster, and thus, The Bahamut is the ultimate airship.

  • thats funny. I thought ark was the ultimate summoned monster

  • Sorry, "King" of the summoned monsters.

  • For some reason, I don't think they spent enough time on character development. I just wasn't feeling it this time around, you know? Maybe it's just me, but it didn't really draw me in as much as the other Final Fantasies I've played did. To me, and I'm really not trying to insult the game-it's good, I like it. I don't know. It's just something's missing.

  • I think it had something do with Yasumi Matsuno being pulled—or dropping out, nobody knows for sure—from position as director of the game. It took two designers to fill his role after that.

  • your right, no crying when someone dies or something, I have no filing with the characters

  • I totally agree. After the wonderful emotional rollercoaster ride that was FFX, this one just didn't hold me the way that it should have.

    Its a pity that it ended up that way, I suppose, but a good game other than that.

  • BALTHIER ALL THE WAY

  • Balthier does NOT approve of Al-Cid.

    ......eeeee he's so cuuute xD

  • .....Judging from how Al-Cid says it, He makes the Bahamut seem like a living creature or an Esper or something like that. That was the impression I first got......Total Death Star....

  • I wonder who would win in a cool guy battle?

    Balthier or Al-Cid?

  • balthier cause .... just cause

  • Going for Al-Cid, without a doubt.

  • You should have known a question like that would cause an argument. XD

  • Balthier IS cute^^

    & hawt now that u mention it.

  • Balthier's reaction at the end is so cute! lol

  • al cid margrace..pimp of all pimps..balthier..just a pirate pimp..they should av make him a playable characters..MARGRACE..AL CID MARGRACE..

  • I HATE PIMPS

  • he's a playable character in Tactics a2. His job is a pimp or something.

  • his job is pimp of all pimps eh..he should bang ashe n av more lil MARGRACE..AL..CID..MARGRACE..

  • Balthier is standing back there annoyed that someone could be a bigger playboy then him. And Fran is just amused by his annoyance.

    Dang Rozzarian Royalties, trying to steal a not-so honest pirate's thunder.

  • ROFL

    Balthier's back there like, "OMG I wanted to go to the Ambervale! No fair!"

    Fran looks on like, "It's okay Balthier, I still love your skinny pirate ass."

  • balthier looked a little jealous o.0

  • Nah, Balthier just looked annoyed, he probably thinks Al-Cid is a preening pansy, heh. People have commented that the relationships were under the radar in this FF. Like you couldn't really tell if Vaan and Penelo were an item, or if Baltheir was into Fran or Ashe. Basch might have been into Ashe too, but who knows.

  • Yah I know :D

  • @Concepcion30 Not to mention the scenes for Vaan/Ashe. Or even Penelo/Larsa - "I will see that you are kept from harm", anyone? Granted, I'd have liked those two pairings the most, but it's still pretty annoying when you can't get a feel for romance, even if it WASN'T a key focus of the plot.

  • Ha Al-Cid Margrace! Brothers voice!(FFX) he sounds the same!

  • I love the end! =D

  • ........ There's a huge freakin war that could freakin start at any moment and the person they're all fighting against (vayne) has a superweapon that could pretty much annahilate everything in his path. All this stuff going on and what does Al cid do, flirt with Ashe.... such a pimp :O

  • Such a retard you mean.

  • I love how Balthier is basically a FF version of Han Solo. I didn't like FF XII the first time round but now i really like it=)

  • I laughed at how Fran smirked at the end hehehehe ^^

  • Was Balthier jealous at the end b/c Al Cid was hitting on Ashe?

  • i think he was just annyoed.

  • Probably just miffed that someone else is trying to take the title of "flirt".

  • I like the fact that they shifted the focus from the romantic aspects of the story to the darker, more political aspects. To me, it's far more interesting, though I do admit to liking Fran a lot. ^_^

  • Well, after seeing what happened at Riddorana and the way Balthier acted at Eryt Village (Frans village), I would think Balthier and Fran would Pair up.. I think the game designers only keep showing Balthier whenever Al Cid is around is because he is competition as far as flirting/being on top goes. Hehe, I think Balthier has alpha male syndrom. XDD

  • Agreed.

  • What is it with you people and romantic pairings? Certainly, Final Fantasy has had its share of love stories but that might not be the case for FF12. I don't assume that Balthier MUST be with Fran/Ashe/whoever because, since you've all missed it, FF12 is a criticism on politics and essential human nature. I could certainly see a bit of twiddling and teasing on the part of the producers to suggest a romance between everyone with everyone else (some more than others, mind you).

  • It's virtually possible to hypothesize that a romance can exist anywhere. That's what makes gaming so successful-- it's what gives it that "suspense". But if anyone wants MY opinion, I see a deep claim of friendship between Balthier and Fran that's unmatched with other characters. That doesn't mean that I think they're "together." But Balthier and Ashe's friendship/flirtation is far too shallow; they were pitted together by situation, and not by their own intentions.

  • They're learning to care about eachother, but this is true as well for everyone else on their team. I'm not saying that they couldn't ever share feelings for eachother-- only that, because Balthier's a sky pirate, this sort of relationship is inpractical. And as you've already noticed, the man's a very bluntly pragmatic person.

  • His conflict with Al Cid is a very superficial one: only that he has a bad impression of Al Cid due to Al Cid's highly pompous behavior (And I imagine Balthier would hate being trumped. He has a lofty sense of self-worth, remember? He once told Vaan, "I'm the leading man...")

  • People will look for romantic involvement in any story, especially Final Fantasy for some reason. I think Balthier is a far more complex character than a simple 'ladies man' who falls in love with every female he lays eyes on.

  • I agree with you all the way.

  • Well some people just like to think "You know, those two would make a nice couple." and not take it further than saying that. But I will admit, some do take it too far.

  • Romance is one of the elements that are found it good stories and what makes them great, not to mention the one that pop out most and sex of course. Most of the ff's have that so that is why many people expect it to happen. Sometimes they create characters like cecil and rosa from ff4. You cant blame them.

  • In a story like this one, romance would only distract people from the main plot. It could only destroy what is outstanding already.

  • not really check out the illiad and greek mythology. They have lots of it also shakespear.

  • The only Shakespeare I've read had the romance as it's main point. So, my background is very limited.

  • Is it romeo and juliet, hamlet, sweet summers night dream?

  • Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet(first 2 acts), As You Like It(favorite). Close though. Thank you for playing. :P

  • What do you mean by favorite?

  • It's my favorite of the ones I've read.

  • Lol Balthier's got to fight to keep his title as Pimp! xDD

  • i don't know... Balthier's reaction kind of solitified my belief for BalthierxAshe... especially with Fran's smirk when she looked at Ashe then Balthier. Its like she knows Balthier wants her, even if he doesn't know it. <3

    Besides, why else would the producers of the game place Balthier in the background? They could have put ANYONE, but they picked him.

  • who cares if balthier makes funny lil faces when Al-cid is talking to ashe. i think its just because hes not used to having anyone try to out 'flirt' him before and hes just a little intimidated by the competetion. look at all the other cutscenes with balthier and fran flirting, and the oh so popular " then you better hang on tight!" scene. that was sooo cute!!!

  • Heh heh... Al-Cid and Balthier are probably my most favorite male characters ^_^

  • Hehe, Balthier and Al-Cid are smexie beasts. <3

  • Wouldn't be final fantasy without Bahamut now would it? ^_~

  • I'm so frustrated at the people who keep saying Balthier & Ashe... Im sick of stereotypes ._. And Im so frustrated that I wont be bothered to explain..

  • you can keep your opinions but you can't blame the other s because they are more perceptive than you in such things.if you can't stand out if a relationship is romantic or not we are not at fault

  • you have a point.

    but I didn't mean it in that way. -.-

  • Hey you can't tell everyone to shut up because you think you're the one who is right here.Yes everyone say whatever they think about the pairings but i think that you should take a look at the ending part and the cutscene in Phon coast before you say anything for BalxAshe

  • What is it with you people and romantic pairings? Certainly, Final Fantasy has had its share of love stories but that might not be the case for FF12. I don't assume that Balthier MUST be with Fran/Ashe/whoever because, since you've all missed it, FF12 is a criticism on politics and essential human nature.

  • you know what, i think the whole Balthier Al-Cid rivalry for Ashe's attention is one of those "I'm smoother than you things." I, like Fran, find that really amusing!

  • i don't know... Balthier's reaction kind of solitified my belief for BalthierxAshe... especially with Fran's smirk when she looked at Ashe then Balthier. Its like she knows Balthier wants her, even if he doesn't know it. <3

    Besides, why else would the producers of the game place Balthier in the background? They could have put ANYONE, but they picked him.

  • i agree.That is noticeable in this part.i am fan of BalthierxAshe and i think that there's something more in their relationship than the bond of trust they have.

  • TOTALLY! Balthier/Ashe forever, and he sighs, yes, listen, he SIGHS and Fran gives him that 'you are so crushing on her look'

  • does anyone know how i ould be able to download these cutscenes it would be great to watch them on my computer

  • Baltheir with fran and vann with ashe.

  • Yea, I saw Balthier's face. O.o

  • Whoa you heard that? Bahamut? Bahamut is supposed to be an Aeon Yuna has in Final Fantasy 10. Bahamut, a bad guy? Woah. And if you watched final fantasy advent children, did you see the girl with the Moogle doll? I'm guessing it's Lulu since she has a Moogle doll.

  • No, Not all,well rarely any of the Final Fantasy Games are connected. Bahamut is kinda like Cid,it's used in just about all Final Fantasy. The random girl with a moogle wasn't Lulu. That's why none of the games have squeals,well 'Spin-offs' X-2 was the first real Final fantasy squeal.

  • Al-Cid is so awesome. He's very sexy.

  • Heehee, agreed.

  • I'm for BalthierAshe aswell. Haha, Balthier's jealous face in this cutscene is priceless. <3

  • lmao, I just watched this again to see his face at the end.. it really is quite funny.

  • NOO! I don't want Bal-Ashe; it' Fran the one who has to be with him!

  • Ditto, I like Fran with Balthier and Ashe with Rassler or Vaan.

  • al-cid sounds like a french gangster lol!!

  • true, but me and my sis are convinced he's a pimp! XD (i mean, he's got all those serving ladies; in one cut scene, he groped one of them XD)

  • I know! Does Balthier likes ashe or fran? I'm so confused... Who does everyone end up with at the end I wonder?

  • I'm a BalthierxAshe fan.

    It's really romantic when you pair them up.

  • yeah, but fran has been him longer; do you not remember what he said in the lhusu mines? "Nobody knows men like fran does" best line EVA! XD. so yeah. balthierXfran foreva! (though you can keep to your opinions)

  • I feel like Balthier was just rolling his eyes at Al-Cid lol

  • I might love Al-Cid...but he is crazy. He even has Brother's voice. More crazy. Aw. Balthier is jealous!

  • was that a butt plug he was holding?

  • al cid = michael jackson

  • omg youre right.

  • Yes, shandy! hahaa...that dude is so slick & those shades...kinda out of place in the game, but it suits him. And Balthier showing some jealousy in a way, my Fran noticing it, hillarious. And why had it to be Bahamut? Should've used a summon that hasn't been used much yet in FFgames.

  • I have a fetish for the way he says "Such things I will show you."

  • Al-Cid is such a pimp ;)
