question about Balthier...*spoilers*

[Roogle]

I did not seem to catch this part of the game. Balthier Bunansa is truly named Ffamran Bunansa, or was his pseudonym without a last name?

He was born FFamram Bunansa and changed his name to Balthier after he decided to be a sky pirate. I also doubt he kept his Bunansa last name as it would be a dead giveaway as to who was his father... I think his pirate pseudonym was just "Balthier"

Ffamram Mid Bunansa, isn't it?

Balthier's father ? Cidolfus Bunansa iirc.

Balthier's middle name is Mid? Wow, I didn't catch that one. There's alot more FF references in this game than I thought the first time. I remember hearing one of the airships in the final battle being called "Galuf-Val" last time I played.

Yep, I remember that part. Not sure where - perhaps in the dialogue, maybe in a bonus description from the Bestiary.

Yeah, the airship names are great. Loaded with names, from the summons to weapons.

TONBERRY!!!!!

I didn't notice his real name being mentioned either. Probably shouldn't have turned the subtitles off - the Olde English was laid on so thickly, it was very easy for a "Ffamram" to slip through unnoticed and dismissed as part of the usual unintelligible babbling.

Maybe he changed his name because "Ffamram and Fran" sounds a little odd

Indeed. The subtitles are a big help, and FFXII has some of the most amazingly beautiful game dialogue ever written. It rivals Vagrant Story for its poetic value, and surpasses it at times too. The titles make it a whole lot easier to follow....
