Yeah, well, some sites have Penelo listed as Vaan's girlfriend and other sites have her listed as a mere friend. So, I am not sure what to believe. Anyways, either way, it doesn't mean that Vaan and Ashe won't get together. I was sort of hoping they would. They're definitely not siblings. Ashe is a princess and Vaan is a common street urchin. Kinda sounds like Zidane and Garnet, eh?

Isnt Penelo Vaan's girlfriend in the start but they argue or something someone said in an interview. I dunno who Ashe will end up with, there are a few scenes that say Vaan but its hard to tell, she does hand her wedding ring over to someone, some people are saying balthier but i dont think it is. I thought Penelo and Larsa had a thing going but the guys 12 o.O (he's gonna be hewt when hes older xD) I want the game...I wanna play the demo too ¬_¬ stupid SE bring it out in the UK

In one of the trailers it shows Ashe getting married to some guy I know nothing about. He looks like a prince or something. However, we don't know when this wedding takes place. I think it probably takes place at the beginning of the game, then, when all hell breaks loose, he gets killed, and Ashe joins the rebellion where she meets Vaan. Just my little theory.

Oh dear, I hope he doesn't die, I like princes. Was it really Ashe's wedding though? I'm getting excited about FFXII. Talk of weddings and rebellions completely engross me every time.

Ah, I see, that would certainly explain it. :) I didn't see the trailer, sadly. |

Actually, that doesn't mean squat. According to the original info on the japanese website, Vaan and Ashe were both 16-17. Now they've decided to make her two years older, so now Vaan and Ashe aren't twins. But that doesn't mean they can't still be siblings. I can tell they've decided to re-do parts of the story due to the delays--but I really hope they don't make Vaan/Ashe in this game. It's getting old. I adore Cloud/Aerith and Zidane/Garnet and even Tidus/Yuna has a soft spot for me, even though I couldn't stand the game. But really, they need to change the formula a bit, just so I know I didn't buy another version of the same game. I hope they decided to keep Vaan and Ashe as estranged/long lost siblings. It's boring when the main hero automatically ends up with the lead female, part of why I was never into Harry/Hermione in the HP fandom. Now Squarenix managed to pull it off in VII because there were two heroines, and in IX just because the characters were quite original (IMO...a Princess that TRIES to get kidnapped? The hero is a thief? ROFL)--but now it's time for a different take on the romance, if there is any romance in this game. Personally, I'm more interested in Balthier and Fran's story--Balthier especially. I really hope my friend did well in the auditions.

I have never read on any info site about Vaan and Ashe being siblings. Where is everyone getting this info? Also, I adore the old FF "recipe". I love the old cliche heroxheroine romances. So, I am rooting for VaanxAshe and BalthierxFran! ![]() Edit: From the official S-E USA website: FINAL FANTASY XII Story The story of FINAL FANTASY XII takes place in a world called "Ivalice," in an age when magic was commonplace and airships plied the skies, crowding out the heavens. A world of many races, the humes, bangaa, viera and, of course, moogles, all call Ivalice home. War was on the horizon. Seeking to strengthen its base of power, the great Archadian Empire had been invading and subjugating its neighboring kingdoms one by one. The small Kingdom of Dalmasca was one such kingdom. When the occupying Archadian forces established a new consul in Dalmasca's Royal City of Rabanastre, it caught the attention of Vaan, an urchin living on the streets. To Vaan, the Empire was a hated enemy who had taken the life of his brother - his last surviving family member. Vaan hatched a plan to sneak into the castle housing the new consul and unburden him of one or two of his treasures. But before he would have the chance, Vaan got far more than he bargained for; a resistance movement of former Dalmascan soldiers rising up against the Archadian Empire was launching an assault! Amid the ensuing confusion that engulfed the castle, Vaan saw something he could scarcely believe. There, among the members of the resistance, was the figure of the sole remaining heir to the Dalmascan throne, the Princess Ashe, who'd been given up for missing... Our story follows Vaan, Ashe, Vaan's friend Penelo, the sky pirate Balthier, his partner Fran and many more on an adventure through Ivalice that traces the mysteries behind the Archadian Empire's invasion. It says nothing about Vaan and Ashe being siblings and refers to Ashe as the sole remaining heir. This article also calls Penelo Vaan's "friend". I am seeing more and more sites listing Penelo as a friend rather than a girlfriend. Yay for FF cliches!

Ashe does definatly get married, possibly arranged its hard to tell to Lord Rassler(sp?) and it looks like he gets sent out to battle the arcadians with the rest of the Dalmasca army. There is some debate whether or not Basch really does kill Rassler, it looks like he shoots him with an arrow but again its hard to tell. I'm positive that's still Ashe giving her wedding ring to someone so even if Rassler isnt dead she may not love him or for whatever reason just denounces her marriage. Vaan and Penelo are not siblings...Vaan has an older brother that was reported to have been killed but it looks like Basch didnt kill him. Am rooting for an VaanxAshe cause I guess am into the main romance thingies...

They meant Ashe and Vaan are siblings, which may or may not be true, if it is true they won't mention it as it'd be one of the twists of the story, but I doubt they are! ^^ |

Like I said, I was getting this off the japanese site--my japanese-fluent friend was the one who informed me after she got obsessed with FF12 after seeing the bunnies. XD However, within the last few months, we keep noticing changes and alterations here and there. We're not sure if this will apply to keeping Vaan and Ashe as siblings or not. Just because they say it in the current bio before the game is released doesn't mean a whole lot. After all, they said Tifa was Cloud's childhood friend in her bio and we know that isn't exactly true, now is it? |

Yeah, the original FFXII japanese site was saying that. Then again, they've changed a few things, so don't lose all hope yet. I'm just saying there's a good chance they won't have changed that particular twist. I'm seeing more and more Star Wars in the Japanese media today...>.> |

Yeah, Vaan and Ashe as siblings would be very Luke and Leia, wouldn't it? :lol: However, I can't help but think it would also be rather boring. My favorite dramatic moments in the FF series were those great rescue scenes where the hero saves his love. Like Cloud rescuing Aerith in the Shinra building, Squall rescuing Rinoa from the Sorceress Memorial, Zidane rescuing Garnet from Alexandria, and Tidus rescuing Yuna from her forced wedding to Seymour. How exciting would these moments have been if there had been no romance involved? How exciting would these moments have been if Squall had ran into the Sorceress Memorial, shouting, "I can't let you go, little sis!" I really hope they put Vaan and Ashe in a romantic relationship.
