Anastasia

Anastasia is the sacred sword wielded by Vaan in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. A legendary blade, only those who are chosen may wield it.

Vaan acquires this weapon after the events in the world of the Yarhi. It is forged from Velis' soul, and defined as a "Godsblade".

It can be fortified by completing the Midlight's Deep dungeon on the Well of Whispered Oaths, on the Keep of Forgotten Time.

Attributes
This weapon is powered each time the Well of Whispered Oaths is completed. After completing it twelve times, the sword reaches its maximum power. The player must complete all ten levels and defeat Yiazmat to increase its stats. This process can be repeated several times.

It can be powered up to a maximum of TBD attack points (at least 300 or more) and adds an additional TBD (at least +220 or more) points to Strength, Magick, Stamina, Mind, and TBD (at least +235 or more) points to Speed.

Etymology
Anastasia is a girl's name of Greek origin. It means "resurrection" or "she who shall rise up again", a reference to Velis's soul being reborn in the sword. Anastasia is best known as the name of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, daughter of Czar Nicholas II. According to legend, she survived the murder of the Russian royal family by the Bolsheviks and continued to live on afterwards (though as of 2008, it has been determined that she was in fact killed along with the rest of her family). This plot has been the subject of numerous works of fiction, including a 1997 Fox Animation movie, Anastasia.
