Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift


Hurdy is a Bard who encounters Luso in the middle of his adventure. He is first found in the scene after the story mission Sleepless Nights, performing a song (which is Sleep of Defeat) in front of some people at a Pub.

Luso said that he liked the song. After the performance he puts up the following story mission Making Music. After completing the mission and making Hurdy an instrument called the Brilliant Theroboro, he joins the clan, determined to compose a song for Luso.

At the end of the game, when Luso's grimoire is complete, Hurdy finishes his song and plays it as Luso returns to his world.

Hurdy's Job class is a Bard, able to buff other characters with songs and poems. He may also access all other Moogle Jobs except for Chocobo Knight, just like Montblanc. This is probably because according to the side story, he has a policy against riding a chocobo, but according to in-game, Hurdy and Montblanc's unique sprites prevent them from riding chocobos.

Hurdy is, in the game, one of those few moogles that actually have hair instead of fur on his head except for Montblanc, Gurdy, Zupp, and Sorbet.
