None. The main romance is between Ashe and Rasler, and he gets killed in the opening credits, so that “romance” is more about Ashe coping with her loss. And to some extent, the Occuria manipulating her with it. Other than that there’s some very tenuous hints between Penelo and Larsa, but that’s about it.

Final Fantasy XII Balthier and his companion, Fran, prefer to remain outside the war between the kingdoms of Ivalice. Born as Ffamran mied Bunansa (ファムラン・ミド・ブナンザ, Famuran Mido Bunanza), he is the son of Dr. Cid (Cidolfus Demen Bunansa), though he grew weary of his father’s madness and obsession with nethicite.

Balthier: Recommended Jobs The Shikari class makes sense, because this is one of the classes in the game with access to some pretty good weapons early on. Coupled with Balthier’s good physical strength stat, you have a character who could be of great help against some early bosses.

Penelo: Recommended Jobs With just the character depiction, Penelo seems to be molded in the guise of the White Mage. Her high MP suggests that, as a support-type character, she would do well casting Curaga or Curaja on the party, as well as dealing heavy Holy damage against Dark-aligned enemies.

Fran (Japanese: フラン, Hepburn: Furan) is a fictional character in the Final Fantasy series of video games. She is a member of the Viera race, a group of rabbit-like humanoid people. She appears in Final Fantasy XII, having left her tribe and worked as a copilot to the pirate Balthier.

Fran isn’t an exceptionally great bow user, but the Archer class goes well hand-in-hand with Second License jobs. Fran can use an MP-based job to go hand in hand with her accuracy from far, and she is still a decent Archer.

Ashe is 28, Balthier is 34, Fran is old, Bashe is 45.

They are a strictly matriarchal people; Viera males are notoriously rare and reclusive, shunning contact even with their own kin. They are also known for their incredible longevity, as they can live to ages upward of two-hundred and forty years.
