About Version 1.1 [Date: 28 Jan 2007]
I have managed to finish the Rare Game Listing after spending a week in
finding all rare games. Correct some minor errors throughout the entire
FAQ. I have added the transportation guide. The Bazaar Goods section have
been updated although I am still missing some.
Hopefully I can add the following in the next update:
o Monster Bestiary
o Item Bestiary
o Bazaar Goods (complete description)
Before continuning, I would like thank the following persons:
o Sephirosuy and Maltzsan for their extensive guides that I have
frequently refer to in making this FAQ.

Fantasy VII that inspires me to do FAQ writting.

U s i n g t h e F A Q
________________________________________________
Due to the large size of the FAQs, I will recommend you to use a search
code. The basic search code is:
ffxii_XXXX
You just need to replace the XXXX with the four digits that are listed
next to the section under the Table of Conetnts. Press CTRL + F. Type in
the search code eg. ffxii_0123 and click Find.

---------------------
This option will allow you to switch characters. To change leader
(or controlling character), just while in the dungeon, press Up
on the D-Pad. This will allow you to choose the leader. Please
note once the leader is KO'd, you will be given an option for
reselecting your leader.

01-02-03 Equip
---------------------
This allows you to equip equipment (Weapon, Shield, Headgear, Armor
and Accessories). However unlike previous Final Fantasies, to equip
an equipment, the character must acquire the license for it and got
the equipment via purchase, treasure hunting or steal/defeat
enemies. You can make use of the Optimize option to select the best
equipment for equipping. But the Optimize option may not always be
the best choice though...
01-02-04 License
---------------------
This is the character management system in Final Fantasy XII. Treat
it like the Materia System for FFVII, Junction System for FFVIII,
Sphere Grid System for FFX. The License allows your characters to
acquire licenses for Magicks (or commonly known as Magic and it is
not wrong spelling by the way...), Technicks, Espers, Quickenings (
the FFXII's equivalent of Limit Breaks or Overdrive) and Equipment
License. It also include status bonuses such as HP plus and Gambit
Plus. More details will be covered under Section 01-06
01-02-05 Gambit
---------------------
This allows you to priortize your Gambits and whether set on or
off Gambits for your characters. Gambits are very useful for support
and you can also set them in a way to have automatic battles and
you just need to move the characters around. For more details, please
refer to Section 01-05.
01-02-06 World Map
----------------------
The World Map of the area that the party is currently located at can
be accessed by pressing the SELECT button. You will automatically get
full maps when you access towns. While in the world, you will uncover
new areas by exploring which will also updates your world maps. For
dungeons, you can get a full map by purchasing them from moogles that
are scattered all over the world.
01-02-07 Inventory
-----------------------
You will be able to view all the inventory that you have gotten from
your adventure. It will covers Magicks & Technicks, Items, Loot, Key
Items, Equipment, etc. You can store them. Unlike previous Final
Fantasies, you can use items only via the Item command found in
Battle Menu.
01-02-08 Clan Primer
-----------------------
The Clan Primer is like a beginneer's guide to Final Fantasy XII. It
will features Hunt, Bestiary, Sky Pirate's Den and Traveller's Tips.
As you go deeper into the adventurer, the Clan Primer will get
updated. More details will be covered in the other sections.
01-02-09 Config
-----------------------
It allows you to modify the configuration settings for your game.
More details will be cover under Section 01-04
---------------------------------------------------------------------
01-03 NAVIGATION & EXPLORING
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ffxii_0103
01-03-01 Conversation
---------------------------
When you approach a character whom you can engage a conversation,
you will see the !! talk icon appearing on the top of the character.
Just press X or Square to initiate the conversation. This also
applies to examining objects.
01-03-02 Conversation Logs
---------------------------------
Once you finished a conversation with a character, you will be
able to access the conversation logs by using the Triangle button.
Use Up and Down on the D-Pad to back track the conversation. A
pretty useful feature if you don't intend to hear all the
conversation again.
01-03-03 Radar
-------------------------
The radar map will appear on the top right hand corner. Below are
the legend for the radar.
-------------------------------------------------------
Icon Meaning
-------------------------------------------------------
Blue Your characters
Big Blue Esper
Green People in town/ Chocobo
Red Enemy
Big Red Mark
Blue Lines Next Area
-------------------------------------------------------
After Vaan finished his rat cleaning mission, you will be able to
access the World Map menu. Press SELECT to view the full map.
01-03-04 Maps
-----------------------
Maps are very useful as it allows you to locate your destinations.
In FFXII, you can obtain a full map in 2 method - the 1st method
is by exploring and the 2nd method is by buying maps. Maps can be
bought from moogles that you find in towns. Below are the meaning
of the abbreviations that I will be using in the ASCII maps for
the walkthrough.
------------------------------------------------------------
Abbr. Meaning
------------------------------------------------------------
[IS] Item Shop
[WS] Weapon Shop
[MS] Magick Shop
[GC] Technick Shop
[GS] Gambit Shop
[AD] Aerodome
[INN] Taverns, Inns
[SC] Save Crystal
[GC] Gate Crystal/Gate Crystal
(Usually it is named after the city/dungeon)
------------------------------------------------------------
If you select the map and point your cursor at the map, you will
find the name of that area. This is very important as most of the
time, I will be refering the walkthrough areas to the names. In
the main screen of the menu, you will see a numeric figure on the
lower right end of the screen. That indicates the number steps you
have taken.
01-03-05 Treasure Chests/Pots
-----------------------------------
In Final Fantasy XII, the items contained in the treasure pots
are not fixed and they will appear randomnly on the map. They will
locate normally at the edge of the area and will regenerate every
time you reset the game. However, there are some treasure pots
that you should never open:
------------------------------------------------------------
DO-NOT-OPEN TREASURE CHESTS
o- Strongest Weapon in FFXII -o
------------------------------------------------------------
Chest #1
Location: Lowtown - Outside Dalan's House
------------------------------------------------------------
Chest #2
Location: Royal Palace - Cellar (All treasure chests)
------------------------------------------------------------
Chest #3
Location: Nalbina Fortess - Confiscatory (All treasure
chests)
------------------------------------------------------------
Chest #4
Location: Phon Coast - The Vaddu Strand
(the place with 16 Treasure Chests)
------------------------------------------------------------
I will suggest to you to take note of these on a piece of paper.
In the dungeons, you will find Urns and you will retrieve maps from
it. As the treasure obtained from pots are completely random, it is
pointless to state them. Some of the chests will allow you to
obtain rarer treasure with assistance of equipping the Diamond Armlet.
When you are appointing a treasure chest, the ! icon will appear
on the top of leading character. When you are near a target that
you can examine, you can see !! icon and X button where you can
follow up with some actions.
01-03-06 Save Crystal and Gate Crystal
------------------------------------------------
There are 2 types of crystals where you can save your game. They are
found in dungeons and cities. The Save Crystal is blue in colour
while the Gate Crystal (usually named after the town/area) is orange.
Upon touching the crystal, your party will restore all HP/MP and all
status ailments will be cure as well. To save your game, you will
need to have a Memory Card.
The Gate Crystal works like the Save Crystal except you can use it to
teleport from towns to towns by using a Teleport Stone. Teleport
Stones can be obtained from hunts and most enemies drop them. Please
note that you need to have at least 2 Teleport Stones to teleport from
one town to another.
In Rabanstre, there is a Moogling network which allows you to
teleport from one of the town to the other end. This moogling network
will available in the Rabanastre after Vaan and gang has escape from
the Nalbina Fortess.
01-03-07 Experience & License Points
-----------------------------------------
Defeating enemies will nab you experience points, license points and
sometimes an inventory item. Experience points are necessary for your
characters to level up and gains for attribute stats. Licenses, on the
other hand are required for you to learn abilities via the License
Board. Non-participating characters will gain LP but not the
experience points. Unlike previous Final Fantasies, bosses and "marks"
do not award experience points when you defeat them.
The License Board will be discussed in greater detail under Section
01-07.
01-03-08 Chocobo Ranch
----------------------------
Riding on Chocobos will allow you to prevent you from being attacked
by enemies. You can hire Chocobos from moogles (owners) of the ranch
for a certain price. Chocobo Ranch are normally located at the borders
of the towns.
When riding a Chocobo, you can use the Sprint feature up to 3 times by
pressing the X button. You will automatically dismount when the time
is up or you choose to dismount by pressing Circle button. When riding
a Chocobo, there are a few points to take note of:
o You won't be attack by enemies
o You will be able to move the area faster (the legs of Chocobo are
definitely longer than your characters)
o You cannot access any treasure chests
o You cannot enter any towns/resting places (where only Vaan appears
on the screen.
You can hitch a ride on a "Wayward Chocobo" and give it a Gysahl
Greens for a ride. Please note that the Chocobo outside the Henne
Mines does not require you a Gysahl Greens.
01-03-09 Clan Primer & Clan Rank
--------------------------------------
The Clan Primer is FFXII's equivalent of the Tutorial menu of the
previous enemies. You will be able to access it from your menu,
once Vaan visits Tomaj for the first time. The Clan Primer will get
updates as you progress in the game. As you defeated monsters, you
will get Clan Points. When you defeat a certain number of Hunts and
accumulated a certain amount of points, your Clan Rank will improve.
Make sure you visit the Clan Hall that is located in the North End.
01-03-10 Loot and Items
-------------------------------
Monsters will drop random loot (items that cannot be used for combat
but can be sold for gil) and items. In FFXII, most enemies no longer
drop gil as often as previous FF series. Loot will be dropped more
often if you engaged in chains for fighting enemies in the dungeons.
More details will be discussed in battling. Selling loot items will be
your way of earning gil. But be careful, selling loot will trigger the
effect of Bazaar Goods. Please refer to Section 10-01 for more details.
Items, on the other hand, can used for healing or attacking. These
items can be purchased from item shops that are located in towns or
via quests.
01-03-11 Shops
------------------------
In FFXII, there are a total of 6 kinds of shops and they are:
- Items Shops: These shops sell items, ammunition and accessories
- Weapons Shops: These shops sell weapon - swords, knives, axes,
bows, poles, rods, maces, measures, spears, etc.
- Armor Shops: These shops sell mainly body armor, headgears and
shields.
- Magicks Shops: These shop sell magicks scrolls (white, black,
green, arcane & time)
- Technicks Shops: These shops sells technicks scrolls
- Gambits Shops: These shops sells Gambit Targets
Buying the items alone from the shops alone are not enough as you need
to acquire the license to use them. The only things that do not need
require to a license is using Items command. However, on the License
Board, you can use augment items that allows you to boost your
character's use of items.
Like previous series, shops can sell new items as you progress into the
game. For your convenience, the walkthrough will cover the updated
shopping list as well.
01-03-12 Bazaar Goods
-----------------------------
Bazaar Goods are special items that will be sold from the shops when
you sold a certain criteria in a shop. For example, if you will sell
2 Cactus Fruit to an Item Shop. The Bazaar Good - Potions Pack will
be available in all shops that you visit (which also includes in
other towns!). For the full listing of Bazaar goods, please refer to
the item bestiary for more details.
01-03-13 Pause Menu
--------------------------
You will pause the game at any point of time except when your
characters are in middle using a Mist Quickening Combo. The pause
menu will stop your game time and it will allows you the following
options as well:
Pause Menu Options [START button]
Circle: Continue

01-05 BATTLING
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ffxii_0105
Unlike previous Final Fantasies, battling works in real time and
you will be able to move on the battle terrain similar to Kingdom
Hearts.
At the bottom of the screen, you will see your character's HP and
MP. There is a orange ATB bar which execute the selected action
once it is full.
Below are the basic battle concepts:
01-05-01 Target Lines
--------------------------
The lines will appear on the battle when you are targeting an enemy.
If you target the enemy first, the line will be blue and if you got
targeted first, the line will be red. You can made use of the right
analog stick to look around. If your character is targeted, the font
of character's name will be highlighted in red. Green colour target
lines are support magick target lines. Purple colour target lines are
opposition support magick target lines.
01-05-02 Battle Menu
------------------------
The menu will not appear once you engage in the battle. Press X once
you will be able to access a menu which allows you to select to
attack, use Magicks or Technicks or use an item.
If they are not readily apparent, use the right analog stick to look
around. When you have found them, press X to open the battle menu.
Once you've selected Attack and target a foe/enemy, close the
distance using the left analog stick. You'll automatically attack
until your foe is defeated. You can change targets or action at any
time, if your HP falls, press X and select Items from the battle
menu, then use a healing item e.g. Potion. After using an item, you
will automatically resume your previous action. There is no need for
you to input your commands again.
01-05-03 Movement
----------------------
As you will be able to move around the battlefield, movement is a
critical factor in the success of battles in FFXII. You can move to
dodge and attack enemy from behind. Please note that you need to be
close to your enemy if your character are using short-ranged weapons
like swords as they don't throw their swords to attack :)
01-05-04 Attacking
-----------------------
The basic attack command allows your character to wield his/her
weapon to attack an enemy. Below are the 4 possible scenarios could
happen when you intiate an attack:
ATTACK: Your character has hit the enemy with the weapon
BLOCK: Your character blocks the attack with his/her shield/weapon
PARRY: Your character parries the attack with his weapons.
Parrying does not occur with a character using long-range
weapons such as Guns.
MISS: Your character misses the attack.
The acquisition of augments - Shield Block lores help increase the
effectiveness of using shields. Attack will also depend on the
distance between your character and target along with the hit rate of
the weaponary. You can buy weapons from weapon shop and you must get
the required license to use them. Weather and environmental settings
have an impact on the hit rate of long-range weapons.
01-05-05 Magick and Technicks
---------------------------------
In Final Fantasy XII, magic spells are known as "Magick" while skills/
techniques are known as "Technick"
Although magicks and technicks are available for purchasing at shops,
merely purchasing one of these does not necessarily mean you can
use it. You will also need the corresponding license for the
ability purchased.
Unlike weapons and armor, purchasing one magick or technick allows
all characters in the party to use the corresponding ability
provided they have he appropriate license. You can check which
magicks and technicks you have acquiring using the Inventory menu.
You can also find out what are magicks & technicks that a character
can use by using the status screen. More details about Magick and
Technicks will be covered under their respective bestiaries.
01-05-06 Monsters
----------------------
In Final Fantasy XII, there are 4 kinds of monsters and they are:
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
| ~ Normal ~ |
|These are the normal enemies that you will encounter in Final |
|Fantasy XII. If there is more than 1 enemy in the same area, you |
|will find them named with an alphabet at the end (e.g. Wolf A, |
|Wolf B, etc). When you have killed a certain amount of them, you |
|will get access to some biography on the monster... |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
| ~ Mark ~ |
|The enemies will appear on the map after you have talk to the |
|petitioners. These monsters are very rare & are one of its kind. |
|After defeating the hunt, make sure you visit the petitioner |
|again and claim your bounty rewards for doing the Hunt. Hunt do |
|not offer experience points but they offer significantly more LP |
|than normal enemies. Libra does not work on most Marks. |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
| ~ Rare Game ~ |
|There are rare monsters in Final Fantasy XII and there are 80 |
|of them. They will appear randomnly on world map. They look like |
|the normal enemies except they have stronger stats. Once you |

|work on it. You will gain more experience points. Certain rare |
|game will only appear after you have join the Hunt Club in the |
|Phon Coast. |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
| ~ Boss ~ |
|When fighting the boss, the background music (BGM) will change |
|too. You will saw a red bar appear on the top of the screen. Once|
|the red bar is fully depleted, you have defeated the boss. You |
|will get zero EXP and only LP. |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
Enemies' life bar are normally represent by orange bars while your
party's life bars are represented by blue bars. For friendly or neutral
monsters are represented by green bars. if you do not provoke it, it
will not attack your character. Please note that non-damage inflicting
commands such as Steal can also turn a neutral monster into an enemy
monster. You can also cause a neutral monster change sides when you
attack one of its kind.
In the Clan Primer, it will contain literacy writtings on the monsters
with regards to the history of Ivalice. You will get a monster input
into the clan primer upon defeating it and get a literacy writting
when you have killed a certain amount of enemies of its kind.
You will not be able to view stats of the enemies unless you have cast
Libra technick or equip the Bangle. With Libra, you will be able to
gather more useful information on the enemy.
01-05-07 Status Ailments
---------------------------------------
Status ailments can be useful for your battles but they can pose a
serious problems if you do not remedied it early. You can also make use
of this status ailments to your advantage and use it on your enemies!

01-05-09 Libra & Traps
--------------------------
Libra is effectively the Scan technick that allows you to gather
information about the monsters and battlefields. A Libra technick cast
usually last around 10 minutes of game time and will wear off as time
lapse. You can have Libra on permanently when one of the characters is
equipped with a Bangle accessory (you need that license as well)
Libra will reveal the monster's level, current HP vs. max HP and its
elemental weakness and positive status that it has on. It will also
reveals traps in dungeons (which are marked red lines). Hence it is a
very useful spell.
To move pass traps without any trigger, it is best that you cast Float,
time magick, which allows your party members (including Guests) to
travel pass through traps.
01-05-10 Drop/Steal/Poach
-----------------------------
Most of the times, enemies will drop items/loot upon its defeat. You
will find item bags on the floor where you can pick them up by moving
your controlled character over. If you have acquired the Poach or Steal
license you can get items immediately by using these technicks via the
command menu. However this method will works only once and the success
rate are not very high unless you got equipped your character with
Thief Cuffs. The more chains you have created, the higher the chances
of loot/items being dropped from the enemies. For your convenience, the
walkthrough will includes a summary of all the monsters that you will
encounter in that area and what are the items that they will drop.
Please note that Poaching does not work on bosses, hunts and most rare
games. When an enemy is poached, you will get the item but you will not
get any experience points or license points. Poach will generally take
longer to charge.
For each method, there is a rare version of items to obtain. You have
only 1% to 5% chances of obtaining rare drop, steal or poach.
01-05-11 Chains
-------------------
You will get a chain if you defeat a monster of its same type. E.g. in
the Dalmasca Estersand, if you defeat 2 Cactities in a row, you will
get 1 Chain. If you defeat another Cactites, you will get 2 Chain.
However if you defeat a Wolf, the chain will be broken (identified on
a red cross on the chain). A chain will be broken when you exit from a
dungeon to a town (like crossing over from Dalmasca Eastersand back to
Rabanstre) or when you have touched a Save/Gate Crystal.
The longer chains you get, the better the items/loot that the enemy
will drop. At a certain point of time, you will get a Chain level up
and they will get special effects like restoring HP or casting
positive status such as Protect or Shell.
Below are some generic notes on chains:
Chains will be broken when one of the following conditions happens:
o You have killed another monster
o You have exit the dungeon and head for a new dungeon
o You have touched a Save/Gate Crystal
o Your party was wiped out by the enemy :)
Chains can be levelled up too. There are 3 levels of chain level:
o Level 0 -- Normal - item bags
o Level 1 -- Blue coins
o Level 2 -- Gold coins
o Level 3 -- Big gold coins
The levelling up of chains is completely random. According the Battle
Mechanics FAQ by Maltzsan, you can level up faster if you do not pick
any loot. Rare loot like Destrier Barding (from Leynir) can be dropped
on when you get large chains. You gain a chain level up between 6 to
10 kills, provided that you do not pick any item bags.
01-05-12 Gambits
--------------------
Gambits are special set of effects that will trigger when a certain
Gambit target conditions are being fulfilled. Each character starts
with 2 Gambit slots and you can turn them on or off in the command
screen or via the menu screen when Balthier and Fran joins your party.
However, at the beginning of the game, you will start off with a
limited range of targets. Gambit targets can be bought from Gambits
Shops or via treasure pots in dungeons. You can increase the number of
Gambit slots but obtain the license for it on the License board. More
details regarding the Gambit will be covered indepth under Section
01-06.
01-05-13 Mist Quickenings
----------------------------
Limit Breaks or Overdrives are gone and your characters no longer need
to be in crisis status (i.e. critical HP) in order to use them. There
are a total of 18 Mist Quickenings and each character can learn a
maximum of 3 Mist Quickenings. Each Quickening will cost 50 LP and they
are represented by orange orbs. These are normally found at the edge of
the license board.
Once you have acquired a License for Quickening, the other characters
on the License Board won't be able to use the slot to acquire a Mist
License. In other words, the 18 Mist Quickenings are exclusive to the
characters who have acquired the license first.
When you got a Mist Quickening, your character will be able to use it
when his/her MP is full and it will be highlighted by an orange bar.
An orange orb will appear next to the name of the character. If your
character has 2 Mist Quickenings, the MP gauge of the character will
be doubled. In other words, the faster you have acquired the Mist
Quickening, the more MP the character will have.
The animations for a Mist Quickening is flashy and you can link up if
other character has also acquired a Mist Quickening as well. By
linking them up, your characters can chain their attacks up for more
damage. More details about Mist Quickening will be discussed in Section
01-08.
01-05-14 Esper Summons
--------------------------
Once you defeat an Esper, it will appear on the License Board. Only 1
character can obtain that license. When summoning an Esper, other
characters will lead the battlefield and you will be left only when
the summoning character and the Esper. Esper are controlled by the
in-game Gambits and they can unleash a Quickening of their own when a
certain condition is made. You can dismiss the Esper at any point of
time or when the Esper's HP is being fully depleted.
01-05-15 Allies
-------------------
Ocassionally, you will see allies assisting your party to fight
enemies like the Rabanastre Watch that you will encounter while
wondering around in Dalmasca Estersand. Postive status magick such as
Cura will also help to cure the allies as well. You can attack an ally
too. Some allies won't change sides while some will...

01-06 LICENSE BOARD
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ffxii_0106
For the first time in the series, FINAL FANTASY XII moves past any
notion of classes - pre-determined sets of skills and strengths,
such as a black mage or warrior. Characters begin the story as nearly
blank slates, and it is up to the player to decide which abilities
they will learn.
As characters defeat enemies in battle, they gain License Points.
Spend these points to acquire License that enable Magicks &
Technicks, and determine which arms and armor they can equip.
Licenses are like mile posts, marking your progress as your combat
skill improve. You will need to acquire in order to use Magicks,
Technicks, equiping weapon and armor, etc
STEP 1: Select a character
STEP 2: You will be at the Licence Board
It shows which licenses you already have, as well as some new ones
waiting to be obtained. Acquired licenses are marked with a star.
The more licences you have, the more equipment you'll be able to use
and the more abilities you'll have to choose from.
For equipment, having a license alone isn't enough. You will need to
have the equipment in your inventory. Unacquired equipment will be
grayed out. You will also need to buy Magicks from a Magick Shop and
arms from a smithy before you'll be able to put those licenses to
use. It doesn't matter which you get first, magicks & equipment, or
the license to use them, so long as you have both. You can use any
Magnicks and Technicks in your possession as soon as you acquire the
necessary license. But you will have to equip weapons and armor
before they'll do you any good.
The number at the top left corner screen is your accumulated license
points. You can acquire any license that's next to one you already
have, but only if you have enough license points.
STEP 3: Select a License to acquire
Use the directional buttons to navigate the license board. Select the
license and press X to acquire it. Once you acquired a new license,
more new licenses will appear on the license board.
To obtain License Points (LP), you can obtain it by defeating enemies.
However, don't be in a hurry to spend all your points though think
about which licenses you really need or you might regret it later.

For your convenience, I have created an ASCII diagram of the entire
list of licenses that you can acquire. Due to the limitation of
width, I have managed to squeeze everything under one page.

01-06-02 Acquiring a License
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To get a License on the License Board, you need to gain License
Points. (LP) Most enemies offer 1 LP while some offers 2 LP.
Rare Games, Elementals, Entites and Bosses will offer more LP. Please
note non-participating characters (i.e. character in the reserve) will
also gain LP unlike EXP. You can double the earning of LP by equipping
a Golden Amulet (however, the character must gain the license to equip
that accessory).
After you have accumulated License Point, you can use the License menu
to obtain licenses for your characters.
