Final Fantasy XII (12) PS2

War was on the horizon. Seeking to strengthen its base of power the great Archadian Empire had been invading and subjugating its neighboring kingdoms one by one. The small Kingdom of Dalmasca the stage on which this tale is set was one such kingdom. When the occupying Archadian forces established a new consul in Dalmasca's Royal City of Rabanastre it caught the attention of Vaan an urchin living on the streets. To Vaan the Empire was a hated enemy who had taken the life of his brother-his last surviving family member. Vaan hatched a plan to sneak into the castle housing the new consul and pay him a surprise visit of sorts. Once inside he thought to unburden the consul of one or two of his treasures. But before he would have the chance Vaan got far more than he bargained for; a resistance movement of former Dalmascan soldiers rising up against the Archadian Empire was launching an assault!
