Balthier & Fran - Sky Pirates' Odyssey

[Kkyyrruu]

It *is* possible to have a character who doesn't have long, gravity-defying hair in final fantasy that is hott lol It's Balthier <3

I wish there was more on Balthier's and Fran's past. They're my favorite FF characters.

[KindnessIsInOurPower]

IMHO, one of the greatest characters (Balthier) of all time!

[lpclassic60]

They should make a game entirely about Balthier and Fran. It would be EPIC.

[EquipoCagadol]

great job! I can't stop watching it! Fran best character!!!

[paranoidandroidRH]

@HighPriestFuneral I'm the opposite :)

[paranoidandroidRH]

I hate that their isn't an obvious romance scene in this, despite FFX being based on Yuna and Tidus. 12 is all politics.

[HighPriestFuneral]

@paranoidandroidRH As is proper. I'm tired of JRPG where you "Save the World! Get the Girl!" It's boring and played out. Political backstabbing and all of that is much more interesting to me than a generic plot like that. There is romance, but its downplayed.

[Kkyyrruu]

I really think FF12 should of got more attention. And Fran and Baltheir is my favorite FF couple/characters. I mean it's so tastefully done, it's not BAM in your face and sssooooo obvious and not all about their love. They're amazing characters right from their characteristics down to their story and role. And the game is my favorite FF game ever. I mean I thought I loved certain FF characters before but not after playing this haha. Fran and Baltheir <3

[cilversky99]

Love it!

[dergilantev]

3:24 - 3:27, where did that happen in the game?

sorry, been searching for it. hehe.

anyway, great vid! =D

[SadamSkywalker]

I always thought FF was some crappy console game... looks like I'm gonna watch a playthrough afterall :)

[emmavieceli]

Wonderul work! You just rekindled my love of these two ^_^

[buckwild1111]

hrhr balthier :..xD

[auronlu]

And here's why I was looking for a good Final Fantasy XII fanvid. :)

Google "Ten Amazing Final Fantasy AMVs" for my top ten list. You probably know some I missed; feel free to nominate/suggest more!

[auronlu]

Wow. I've been hunting for a good Final Fantasy XII AMV. I FINALLY Found one!

[yonggoku]

awsaome i love it

[BAGGIOth]

he appear in FFT(psp) too

[rikimaru700]

Come on. Balthier is dead awesome. He is the leading man after all

[mouse1842]

Vaan sucks ! there's no way he should have been the star ...baltheir and fran were leading charecters to me they always will be...vaan was just some young punk while fran and baltheir really had a tie in with what was really going on ...they need their own game ..is there anyone else out there who thinks so ? .

[OrAeForeverAmazing]

Beautifull, just magnificent. Almost made me cry. Keep up the good job, this vid is a fu**in' masterpiece

[Xearthxsong501]

Very nice! Loooved it =]

[OhuSoldiers]

Love it! <3

[lindsaylohansucks]

fran is ugly

[jones110spieletipps]

Fran is Perfect *-*

[VailOfMist]

@lindsaylohansucks ...and you are blind

[mouse1842]

fran is the most beautiful FF charecters period no question ...she probaly looks better then you ..is that why you wrote that stupid a** comment ? .

[mouse1842]

fran is the most beautiful FF charecter period...you must be blind and ugly to write that comment..that stupid A** comment go somewhere ....

[mouse1842]

@lindsaylohansucks

your ugly ....haha

[jones110spieletipps]

@lindsaylohansucks

You silly for this ? O.o

[jones110spieletipps]

Perfect this have i search :D

[Pandrina]

this video deserves definitely more views! love it! :D

[Equirah]

I'd say your more of a supporting role

Fran, please. Shut up xD

[Fandetidus]

A y est j'ai envie de jouer! XD

[Massiveminion]

I've watched this video many times. I think you did an excellent job. Am truly fascinated by Fran...those ears are intriguing. B & F make a good team. I hope they reappear in the FF-series. Love your parting scene also re leading vs. supporrting: LOL.

[sirolance]

I love Balthier's voice :) It fits him so well!

[MemsNtRain]

Awesome, I love Balthier's quotes! X3

[Nags]

The best characters in final fantasy ever

[magicicle]

Balthier is so hot <3

[FatalSchoolGirl]

I have to say this is one of the best music videos I have ever seen, especially despite the fact that they are indeed, both supporting characters.

[Everstarknight]

All glory, all honor Victory is upon us Our savior, fight evil Send armies to defend us Europa, Europa Find better days before us In kindness, in spirit Lead us to a greater calling Leningrad, Berlin Wall March on Rome, Bzyantium's Fall Lightning War, Dresden Night Drop a bomb, end this fight NEVER AGAIN!

[Everstarknight]

All glory, all honor Victory is upon us Our savior, fight evil Send armies to defend us Empires built and nations burned Mass graves remain unturned Decendants of the dispossessed Return with bombs strapped to their chests There's hate for life and death in hate Emerging from a new caliphate The victors of this war on fear Will rule for the next thousand years

[Everstarknight]

Bolsheviks and feudal lords Chivalry to civil wars Fascist rule and genocide Now we face the rising tide Of new crusades, religious wars Insurgents imported to our shores To western world, gripped in fear The mother of all battles here Heaven help in all our battles Heaven see love, heaven help us Avant hier, avons etre Deja demain, (nous) sommes eclairee

[Everstarknight]

From Agincourt to Waterloo Poitiers and then Anjou The Roses War, the Hundred Years Through battlefields of blood and tears From Bosworth Field to Pointe Du Hoc Stalingrad and the siege of York The bloody turf of Gallipoli Had no effect on the killing spree Bannockburn to Austerlitz The fall of France and the German Blitz The cruelest of atrocities Europa's blood is borne of these Heaven help in all our battles Heaven see love, heaven help us

[BigBosnia]

Wuhuuu! Amazing! :D

[knightblazer85]

what is the name of this song?

[EhtYlno]

i've finished the game, but neve rthought of doing it two times, its too damn big

[WikkiChann]

Actually, no. She's a Viera. You'd know if you'd played the game.

[miiocute18]

They are perfect companions! XD Don't deny that!

[kentuckyfriedpickles]

Faan, please.

[kentuckyfriedpickles]

Balthier deserves his own game. Maybe up to the time he went after the Goddess's Magicite...not that he knew what it was, though.

[jupiterofthemonkey]

Brilliant video, and music.

I don't have ff12, cos i got a Gamecube, but i had FF12RW.

Are balthier and Fran the main characters in FF12 , or are they just as important as Vaan and penelo?

[patataton]

they are supportive characters, but in fact, balthier is by far the most charismatic and coolest character in the game

[sasuke9534]

well vaan is the main character ;)

[TalynnDeRa]

Well, actually, that was the interesting thing. There were sets of "Major characters" in the game. Balthier (Major) and Fran (Support), Vaan (Major) and Pinelo (Support), and Ashelia (Major) and Basch (Support).

Thats how I see it, at least.

[sasuke9534]

you got a point there ;)

[LittleSchrei]

i loved it! wow amazing song, amazing game AMAZING VIDEO!!!! if i could give you more than 5 stars i would!!

[xoxosara777]

OMGSH! this is my favorite ff12 amv everrrrrrr and i have watched a lot. lol. i love fran and balthier. gotta love the leading man err... supporting role. lol. he's my leading man! i love ff12!!! BEST AMV EVER!

[Peetizzle]

Wow! I'm used to a LOT of Final Fantasy AMV's, I've got hundreds of them but this one definitely is something unique! Not one of those god awful metal music video's thank GOD! :D Probably one of the few songs that goes along with the final fantasy atmosphere, aside from moviescore type of songs. And say what you want but most directors say 70% of a good scene is the music and how well it fits the pace of the scene! 10/10 man!

[BalthierLeadingMan]

omg, this one is better than a Hollywood movie teaser. 5* and fav'ed!

[Chocobogirl1993]

3:40 I love it *~*

This video ist soo cool

[Lupinissuchahotty1]

This Video Was Fantastic.! = D I ♥Luv♥ Balthier So Much.! *.^______^.* My Absolute Favorite Character On FFXII.♥ Fran & Him Would Mak A Great Couple. Lol. *Rates 5/5 & Adds 2 Favs* ThAnX 4 This Wonderful Video.!

[mythstoorfoot]

That was wonderful - brilliantly edited and you're right, the music and lyrics fit perfectly. (:

My two favourite characters of FFXII definitely outshine all the rest!

[xxxbloodredxxx]

Balthier is my favorite character by far and you know how Final Fantasys normaly have the main character and another person be in love I think the case is its Balthier and Fran more than Vaan and Panelo even though Vaan seems like the main character I think Balthier woould be better at it :D

[Saull222]

@xxxbloodredxxx balthier was originally intended to be the main character

[PurpleTyranid]

@Saull222 Yeah but they felt he was "too old" and "Wouldn't connect" with their audience. Which is BS, you can tell from the beginning of the game Vaan and Panelo are completely out of place and have no real point in the story.

[Saull222]

@PurpleTyranid lol exactly

[lokiwolf44]

Awesomness, and how.

I read a fanfiction for the same characters by the same name. It was awesome too. You have anything to do with it?

[bbb136]

That. Was. AMAZING!!!

20 OUT OF 10!

totally one of my favorites :D :D :D

i love how you've captured balthiers charm and skill and frans mysteriousness!

shame at the end of the actual game you didnt see them take back their ship from vaan :)

[SuiGenerisShelly]

Might I say that this is the coolest vid to ever grace that which is called youtube. And not just cuz I loves me some Balthier.. very nicely done too. Nobel Prize-worthy.

[rokkolpo]

btw loved it

[landon3838]

That was a awesome Vid!

The music fit so well with balthier

[marcushall89]

u fergot vaan

[HolyTravis]

ff XII stinks

[LadyEarisu]

And so does such immature comments ^^

[EllaDiabola]

I wasn't sure if I'd posted on this before, but I'm going to anyway, even if I have already :D You deserve medals for this, it's beautiful and I have to watch it at least once a day because it's so good :D I especially love what you did with the quickenings, so that it looked like Fran was blowing Balthier a kiss and he caught it, that was so sweet! Keep up the great work!

[Theredsep]

Great job!

[LadyEarisu]

Thank you :)

[Kipcha92]

woah, now that is cool.

[LadyEarisu]

Thanks ^^

[PurpleTyranid]

Balthier the only good character to come from SE in years. I mean the last one was Kefka.

[LadyEarisu]

Hhahaha lol :D oh I so love Balthier as well, he is a really great character, great personality :) congrats SE

[rokkolpo]

i like how in the discriptions you made it look like balthier actually is the main character.

+he,s not trying to save ivalice he,s just trying to find some treasure and get,s sucked up in the quest.

[snowlion20]

Is this from the final fantasy game or one of the movies?

[LadyEarisu]

This is all from Final Fantasy XII, the game.

[123Mei123]

I keep watching this vid all the time, it's brilliant! You're really talented, this deserves way more views and honours. It's one of my fav videos of all time, great work!

I love the cutscene with Fran and Balthier at the end XD

[darkmoogle77]

This is by far the most amazing video I have ever seen. This masterpiece deserves a 5/5.

[DavyJones777]

You have succeeded in making the best movie I've seen to date about two of the most compelling characters in the Final Fantasy franchise, and the history of Ivalice.

An excellent job, without a doubt. Keep it up, please!

[LadyEarisu]

Hey thank you so much! I am now working in another vids :) I am glad you liked this one :)

[darkmoogle77]

this is cool....AWESOME video!

[HerbertKa]

Being honest... I hate FF XII. No offence, but in my opinion it has the worst story of all FFs ever (if there's any), but not regarding that, I'm totally into Fran and Balthier as characters.

Your video was just... perfect - I know of no other word describing your vid. It's really soothing to know that still someone's out there who knows how to properly handle music, pictures and sometimes audio...

Really love your vid. Great music by the way.

Liked to see more of your works.

[LadyEarisu]

Thank you so much! :) As for me, I loved FFXII, in my opinion, only surpassed by FFVII. And that was precisely because of the story... I found the game to be very well written, with all the historical and political issues involved, and with a mature and well developed story :)

[Yid0846]

That was awesome to watch, are you a famous director by any chance? :) Because that was wicked and the music, like you said resembles the story in FF12 and Europes history. Well done and keep'em coming! =]

[LadyEarisu]

LOL, I am not a famous director, just a crazy fan of FFXII :P I loved your comment, thank you so much :)

[HydraStar]

This is superb. I usually don't like video that use words from the scenes, but these are just integrated so well. I wish you had some more lines from Fran though. I guess she doesn't talk as much as Balthier. XD Wonderful job dear. I adore it. 5/5

[LadyEarisu]

Ah, I wished to have more lines about Fran as well! But she is this quiet character, and Balthier just tends to steal the show XD Thank you so much :)

[SeLeBoCreations]

"how old are you again?" haha my fav part. great vid! & the audio snips are perfect. 5/5!

[LadyEarisu]

LOL! I loved that part as well :) and the silence that followed (in the game) was so awkward... thanks for the comment :)

[Tarshearma]

Beautiful, I must say. The editing is wonderful, and I must compliment you on the use of the game's audio.

[LadyEarisu]

Thank you! It was my first time of trying to mix audio and music, though. It is wonderful that you liked it :)

[lycerion]

WoW!

I just like this monumental and passionate atmosphere. Top!

[LadyEarisu]

Thank you!!! ^_^

[queennasu]

awesoooooome ^^

[LadyEarisu]

Thank you ^_^
