Hey all and welcome to the first page of game coverage in my Final Fantasy XII Walkthrough this page will cover the early sections of the game and help get you equipped for later on.

Part 1: The Beginning[]

FFXII starts out with a brilliant FMV displaying an attack on Nalbina Fortress.

Anyway after this you will awake in a first person view and then discover your playing as Reks in the North Ward of Nalbina Fortress following this you will see Basch will kick some Imperial Soldier arses and then gameplay will begin.

Playable Character: Reks

Reks is the character you'll begin the game as he is Vaan's older brother that joins the group of soldiers including Basch attempting to stop King Raminas from signing Dalmasca's surrender in Nalbina Fortress.

Stat-wise Reks is similar to Vaan, comes with the magicks thunder and cure already learned and has basic equipment, overall hes a well rounded character who unfortunately doesn't stick around for long.



Nalbina Fortress[]

You will now be in control of Reks in a tutorial of which it doesn't really need to be said but follow it, after it goes through camera control, movement, and talk/action icons you will be taken to the fight tutorial again keep following it. After this you will be in full control and should head across the bridge and prepare for the first boss of Final Fantasy XII:

Boss Battle Remora - HP:2200
Remora FFXII

Ok here it is people - the first boss of Final Fantasy XII and damn its easy. Thanks to your support characters its quite impossible to lose, in fact if you manage to lose this fight then seriously WTF are you doing playing Final Fantasy XII get out. In all seriousness though all you have to do is target the boss and select attack and watch your first victory dive towards you, of course feel free to use thunder for the fun of it. After the boss has lost half of its health a cutscene will begin in which Basch defeats it with his quickening - Fulminating Darkness. That's it boss number one down, a ton to go.


After the boss fight continue towards the stairs and you will encounter 3 Imperial Swordsman of which you will make quick work of with help from your team, afterwards continue up the stairs and into the next area.

Immediately after entering the next area you will trigger a cutscene, afterwards continue straight ahead all the way to the end then go left beat up the soldier and make a right then take the next right into the stairwell and up the stairs. In this area there will be a save crystal, Basch will tell you a bit about them afterwards feel free to save as it also fully heals you.

After saving continue up the stairs and into the next area, a cutscene will then follow and you will be fighting 3 Imperial Swordsman alone, however these ones are considerably weak and shouldn't pose much threat just attack as normal using thunder if you wish, if it becomes necessary use cure although its not likely you will need to, after this leave the stairway into the corridor and go up to the door and press the action button to open it continue straight and turn right at the end and then right at the next door and continue straight until a cutscene begins and Reks gets a nasty stab wound to the chest.

Well that raps things up for Part 1 and this page so move onto the next one to continue.
