Fran does rock. I loved her since I started playing the game. Her voice is awesome and over all as a character she is awesome. Vieras FTW.

The only thing I found was until recently (so early on) it was hard to have enough gil to be properly equiped and stuff and I ended up dying quite often. Right now I am (SPOILER)Where you fight Vosslar (sp???) after he reveals that he was helping Gnis acquire the deified nephicite (The Dawn Shard) in negotiation for the restoration of Damalsca and Ashe to the thrown.

EDIT: I love hearing and saying Bhujerba. It is an awesome word.
