question about Balthier...*spoilers*
I recently read the Wikipedia entry for the FFXII characters. In the section on Balthier, it states that he changed his name. I've played the game through (almost a year ago), but I don't remember the game explicitly telling us his real name. I was just wondering if it was during the cut scene at Phon Coast where Balthier tells Ashe (SPOILER)that Dr. Cid is his father.

There is no signature here. Move along.
I know - I read the Wiki entry. What I'm wondering is where in the game it tells us that.
Jules calls him that when you go to Archades. Cid might actually call him that, too.
Wow, you should of been more attentive and listened closely. They mention his name at key moments in the story, you don't forget those things.
EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.
I played through the game twice(once in original, once in International)and I never recalled that name o.O
*starts a thrird playthrough*
Vaan - "Hey, you!"
Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

At Pharos Cid cries out Ffamran. I remember cos I played that bit yesterday.
"They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided, too disillusioned to ever come around a common purpose. But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.
clicky clicky clicky
Balthier has a lot of backstory that comes up in dribs and drabs - like Dr Cid having his son made a Judge, a role that he held temporarily before fleeing Archades. Taking on a pseudonym might be a fairly common practice for Sky Pirates, since Reddas did the same.
Jules the thief calls Balthier Ffamram
Me and my kids have dragon eggs:
Dr. Cid and Jules call him Ffamran, the others call him Balthier and Fran never uses his name in the game, so maybe she calls him Ffamran or Balthier? who knows,

Maybe Fran just calls him "Sexy."

I was so busy grinding that i totally forgot it.
TOO... MUCH... INFORMATION!
Oh... level grinding, I assume. Chugging through battles and side quests... yeah, it can be easy to forget snippets of FFXII's plot if you get diverted from the main story by protracted adventuring.
i would if i were her lolMaybe Fran just calls him "Sexy."
