A Quick Summary Please?

[TheBanzaiKitten]

Can someone please give me a quick summary of what happened in FFXII up to the part where you must go to Arcadia which I think is after Mt. Bur-Omisace (the place with all the snow). I haven't played for 1-2 months and I feel like continuing without feeling lost.

P.S. How do I get around Rabanastre when I'm headed to Arcadia?

...and if I can pull myself away from my PS2 and Phoenix Wright long enough, I may finally finish it like I said I would:rolleyes2

^Woah, that looks really detailed. I havnt read it properly though.

Ya know, you should probably post it in GameFAQs. Ive been looking for a plot analysis or explanation, and there isnt one at the moment.

So apparently there is a war about to start. And the main characters are trying to prevent this war. Ashe is still not queen because of something about proving her lineage. Vaan is helping to stop it and Penelo is just around cause Vaan is there. Balthier and Fran are in it for the treasure. I guess that's it.

Now what are they going to Arcades for?
