I hope they don't make Basch a sissy in RW, and have him "falling" for Ashe. He always comes across as more of a guardian then a lover. I also hate Ashe btw.
Fair enough. I do agree that Ashe can be a bitch but in a way I also love that side of her. A strong, determined woman is a nice change from the sweet, unassuming, won't-hurt-a-fly teenybopper that we often get as FF heroines.

I do believe that Basch already has feelings for Ashe at the end of XII judging from his reaction when he read Penelo's letter. And in RW, they don't hook-up but I think it's pretty clear that they have even grown closer than in XII. You could say it's just a close friendship but IMHO it's a start of a romance.

But don't you think that's the ulimate peace treaty between Dalmasca and Archadia? A Judge Magister married to the Queen.
