Fran and Balthier?

[Garnie]

i recon she fancies him but hes just a slut

[Anaralia]

Oh, are they a couple? Really?

Dammit, I'm maybe halfway through the game, and up this point I had thought that he was her gay best friend. I don't know why they gave me that first impression, but there you go. And of course, Ashe/Balthier hadn't even crossed my mind because duh, he was gay. Sigh. This thread has changed my entire outlook on the different relationships between the characters. Thanks bunches, guys.

You know, I'm going to stick my interpretation of events, overwhelming evidence to the contrary (thanks again, guys!) be damned. It's more interesting.

i absolutely adore the details of each chara's attire!
anyway, i hope to see more romance btween the couple
fran and balthier are the best!!
love the scene after the cid battle

[jessica85r]

Yeagh, that was a good scene.

(SPOILER)
The look on Balthier's face when she tells him to fly off made me want to cry.


I think that's part of why I realy want them together. They're both hiding so much pain I want to believe they can be happy.

I've been wondering if Fran left Eryut Village for another lover. (SPOILER)Jote refrences the Humes who stole her away and Fran mentions having won her freedome. Obviously the Hume in question isn't Balthier, as this happened 50 years ago.

[Totally_obsessed]

It's never implied, although they do seem joined at the hip. And he did save her...twice. Besides, dont the Vierra mate for life?

[jessica85r]

Hard to say since the traditional Vierra all seem to never leave a village with nothing but girls, and none of those are going to discuss their relationshps with eachother with Vaan.

The only (openly) paired off Viera is the one Vaan hooks up with the guy Rabernaster I think. (SPOILER)Her using the phrase Soulmate definately suppports the mate for life thoery though.
