I'm sure I'm going to miss some major stuff, and someone will probably come up and correct me but whatever.Originally Posted by markr72
SPOILERS, obviously.
Archadia, the land-hungry Empire of Ivalice is in a struggle to conquer new land: they're next target: The Kingdom of Dalmasca. When the Empire begins invading Nabudis, Dalmasca sends some of their finest troops. Prince Rasler (was that his name?), the new husband of the Princesses Ashelia (Ashe) of Dalmasca rides out with his troops led by Captain Basch fon Rosenburg and Captain(?) Vossler. However, it is too late, the city is lost. Rasler is gravely wounded, but Basch carries him back to Nalbina. Alas, it is too late--Rasler is wounded beyond healing. He dies and sends Ashe into a mindset of great despair. Soon, the Empire is on Nalbina's doorstep, or worse. A small troop of soldiers, led by Captain Basch is rushing to the throne room to defend the King, whom they were going to force into signing a treaty handing Dalmasca over to the Empire. It his here were you take control of Reks, a young soldier willing to fight for his country. Leading him up to the throne room, you are ambushed by Captain Basch, who has killed the king-and then Reks himself.
Two years later in Rabanstre (a city of Dalmasca), Vayne Solidor, the son of the emperor of Archadia has be "elected" as consul for Dalmasca. The people are in an uproar, but Vayne gives a charismatic speech helping to calm the nerves of the people. Here, you take control of Vaan, who is busy fighting rats in the sewers--how exciting. Leaving the sewers, you'll meet your semi-love interest but it's never developed anyway so whatever Penelo. She tells you to go talk to Migelo, who is someone of an adopted father to you and her. He sends you on an errand you do you your first mark (Rouge Tomato).
Vaan decides that he wants to sneak into the Palace to partake in the fete (party) that is being thrown by Migelo for Vayne so that he can "Take back what is rightfully Rabanstre's." Penelo suggest to visit Old Man Dalan, who tells you he knows of a secret entrance into the Palace, but you need a Sun Stone to charge the key. You do some random crap in the Giza Plains in order to charge it and then take it back to him for an entrance to the Palace through the Waterway. You make your way into the Palace and to the treasury where you find-you guessed it-a treasure. The Goddess Magicite is now in your possession, but it seems a couple of sky pirates want it too. Not to mention the fact that you've been found out by the guards. After some fighting and what not, you end up stuck back in the Waterway with Fran and Balthier, the sky pirate duo you just met. They decide that you'll be joining their party.
Traversing through the sewers, you meet/save Amalia, who joins your party as a guest. Keep going, fight some bosses, and [...] to be continued, I have to go. [...]
