Judge (term)

The Judges are a recurring element in the Final Fantasy titles that exist in the Ivalice universe. Generally, Judges are the keepers of Law in Ivalice, and have held this position since their initial appearance in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Final Fantasy XII
Judges serve under the Ministry of Law in the Archadian Empire. The highest in rank are the Judge Magisters, who are often accompanied by subordinate Judges. The Judge Magisters are effectively the Supreme Court of the Empire.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
The Judge of Wings is aptly referred to as a Judge by Sky Pirates due to her appearance being similar to Archadian Judges. Though it should be noted that she is not affiliated with Archadia.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Their debut in the series, the Judges serve to uphold the law set by the Ivalice Royal Family, headed by Queen Remedi and administered by Judgemaster Cid Randell.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
The Judges are given a different persona as well as a different role. Here they serve Adjudged Clans where they protect them from death as long as they uphold the laws set during engagements.

Fortress
A Judge appears in a concept art. He looks suspiciously like Gabranth, although he wields a lance rather than a sword.
