Rubicus[]

Main article: Rubicus/Historical Personae

Once a cadet and now a tribune, Emina works as a commanding officer in Akademeia—even though she does not currently lead a class of her own. She excels in both the military and scholastic arts, and her bright, friendly demeanor has won her the admiration of both men and women around Akademeia. (Her gorgeous good looks have also earned her a considerable amount of unwanted attention from men all over the dominion.) Rumor has it she is an avid connoisseur of bikinis, but none have ever seen her wearing any of the swimsuits in her allegedly enormous collection.

FFT0 Emina taking clothes off — Emina teasing to take her clothes off to prove that she doesn't have an imperial tattoo.

Emina was a student of Akademeia, and was both a friend and classmate of Kurasame Susaya and Kazusa Futahito. After Kurasame's death, Emina and Kazusa use a device that lets people view memories of the past and those who have died. They witness themselves with Kurasame during their school days, but when Kazusa asks her who the third person is, Emina doesn't know.

Emina was a Militesi spy, indicated by a mark on her body, and everything about her is a front. Her original mission required her to infiltrate Rubrum to act as an assassin when called upon. However, her experiences at Akademeia caused her to give up her mission and the few officials from the Militesi Empire who were aware of the plan deemed it a failure when few disruptions appeared in Rubrum after several years.

FFT-0 Emina2 — Emina reveals her mysterious past.

When the truth behind her past is exposed, she thanks Class Zero. Soon afterward, in Caelusmens 842, Emina is captured under suspicion of being the Militesi spy and subject to the judgment of the military court. According to the Sorcery Division researcher, she returned to Milites and agreed to never return. According to the Rubicus she disappeared from Akademia without a trace. According to Director Hajime Tabata, being suspected of espionage, Emina likely could not avoid capital punishment.^[2]

In the game's alternate ending, Nine is throwing lances in frustration because Emina rejected him, being in a relationship with Izana.

Spoilers end here.

FFT0 Emina Gifts — Giving some gift to Emina.

The player can partake in a sidequest to unveil Emina's past. She appears on the Akademeia Terrace when there is 2–6 hours left of the free time from the second free time in Chapter 2 onwards. After making her acquaintance, the player must speak to a man in Sorcery Division who tasks Class Zero with spying on Emina by giving her various presents with spells cast on them to allow the cadets to spy on her in her room. Triggering her events takes 2 hours of free time. Afterward, the player can return to the man in Sorcery to report on what they saw. After enough events with Emina, the man in Sorcery will improve the spy spell, showing Emina with transparent clothes. To progress further in the sidequest, the player needs to complete Kazusa Futahito's sidequest in Chapter 7, where he has an event with Emina where they reminisce over the school days.

Progress in Emina's quest carries over to New Game Plus. During her events Emina hums the game's main theme.

Steps to complete Emina's quest:

FFT-0 Emina Tattoo — Emina sporting an oddly-shaped tattoo.

The player can find Emina on the Terrace during free times from Chapter 2 onwards when there are 6–2 hours of free time left.
The man in Sorcery Division begins to talk about Emina.
After speaking to the man in Sorcery, the player can return to Emina.
Returning to the man in Sorcery has him give the player a Sheer spell to spy on Emina. It is not an equipable spell and is only used for this sidequest.
Giving Emina three presents progresses the quest. She takes the presents she accepts to her room (not every present item is suitable).
The man in Sorcery upgrades the spy spell to Sheera.
The player gives Emina five presents that she accepts.
In Chapter 7 the player finishes Kazusa's sidequest.
The man in Sorcery upgrades the spy spell to Sheerga.
The player gives Emina presents until the man in Sorcery gives a choice.
The player reports to the man in Sorcery whether they saw a tattoo on Emina or not. The choice does matter for sidequest completion.
The player can then talk to Emina one last time.

Different presents unlock different scenes with Emina and they are recorded in the Rubicus. There are also different versions of each scene depending on the strength of the spy spell. All presents she accepts are equally suitable for progressing the quest, and thus the player can use the most easily procured and cheapest presents repeatedly.
