Pub

The Pub is a recurring establishment in the Final Fantasy series. It is present in five of the main series of games (Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, and Final Fantasy VI) as well as two of Ivalice game series, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. In the main series, the pub is a place to gather information on current events in the game, but otherwise serves little other purpose. In the Ivalice games, however, the pub becomes more important, acting as a place for players to select certain Missions that can serve to either advance the storyline or gain new items and allies. Certain games enable players to either dispatch characters to end mission automatically, or control them in mission battles.

Another of the more recurring feature is where "Rumors" are circulated that add to learning more about the world. "Rumors" also add more story element that could not be presented with cutscenes.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
The Pub is where players can listen to Rumors, take up Missions as well as quitting any Missions currently undertaken. All five settlements in Ivalice has a pub, listed below along with its in-game description:
 * Cyril - The Prancing Chocobo: Popular clan watering hole. Townspeople post their requests here.
 * Cadoan - The Sleeping Forg: Only pub in Cadoan, Come hear the frogs croak in the oasis.
 * Sprohm - The Long-Ear Tavern: There's never a quiet night at this hotbed of brawls and rumors.
 * Muscadet - Spina Lodge: Small mainstreet inn. Guests come at night to hear the trichord.
 * Baguba Port - The Golden Gil: Sports a sign cut like an ancient royal coin. Airship crew hangout.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
The Pub acts as a place for reading rumors and notices, obtaining quests, and checking current quest status. Additionally, a clan can undertake Clan Trials to append a title according to their clan's talents such as teamwork, aptitude, negotiation skills and adaptability. All settlements have a pub serving the same purpose throughout the game. Noticeably, the owner retains the similar sprite as the pub owner in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
