Gibbs and Deweg

Gibbs and Deweg are two non-player characters from Final Fantasy XII. They are two Archadian soldiers who were stationed near the Nalbina Fortress at the borders between the Kingdom of Dalmasca and the Kingdom of Nabradia.

Story
Both serve the Archadian Empire and have been stationed to guard the pass leading to Mosphoran Highwaste. They have been able to deter most travelers from entering the Highwaste from Nalbina, warning them of dangerous monsters traversing the area. Gibbs refer to Deweg as "sir", as he is the latter's subordinate.

Gibbs voiced his concerns of guarding that post, ever since he heard that their own commanders have been sunk along with the Dreadnought Leviathan. Deweg reminds him that an Imperial soldier never deserts his post, and that the Empire do not look kindly to deserters, even going so far as to wonder if Gibbs wanted to serve in the front lines instead, to which Gibbs quickly denies. Gibbs again complains about being posted in Nalbina, and Deweg shares his complaints - among them the weather, the sands "in places where sands shouldn't be", and the stink of Chocobos at Gurdy's chocobo stand at the Fortress gates.

Deweg then talks about the parader Chocobos that were present during Vayne's appointment ceremony at the Rabanastre, and revealed that the Chocobos were gifts from Gibbs' family. Gibbs apparently comes from a family of generations-old quality chocobo breeders who live at the Tchita Downs, and has grown up with the stench of chocobos. When he traveled to the Imperial City of Archades, women were put off by the chocobo stench on his body, and Gibbs had to invest a large amount of gil to buy a Viera cologne that got rid of the stench. Gibbs never told anyone about his past since, especially to his wife who ended up hiring July the streetear to find this out. When the party approached Gibbs riding a chocobo, he abandons his post without thinking, and Deweg had to chase after him.

Trivia

 * If the player manages to exit the Highwaste, Gibbs and Deweg will stop them and wonder how they entered the Highwaste, and how they survived inside it.
 * Gibbs and Deweg were not named in the Japanese version, instead being referred to as コーハイ帝国兵　(Kōhai teikokuhei, lit. Junior Imperial Soldier) and (センパイ帝国兵, Senpai teikokuhei, lit. Senior Imperial Soldier).
