Fran (Final Fantasy XII)
After spending most of Final Fantasy XII in Balthier’s shadow, Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade could be the perfect place for the Vieran warrior Fran to leave her mark.
With the possible exception of Shadow, Fran is by far the most mysterious character on this list. In Final Fantasy XII, we learned that at some point she left the Eruyt Village, in the Golmore Jungle, in order to live a life of freedom. Some time afterwards, she would meet the sky pirate Balthier and the two would become good partners. Eventually after meeting Vaan, she and Balthier would get wrapped up in Ashe’s quest for power so she could avenge her fallen Kingdom of Dalmasca.
In Dissidia, Fran’s story could revolve around her learning to open up more, since throughout Final Fantasy XII Fran often let Balthier speak for her, especially early on.
As a fighter, Fran could serve as a mixed ranged fighter. At long range, Fran could use her bow to rain a hail of arrows on her opponents, while up close she could use a variety of kicks and punches to mix things up. Alternatively, Fran could also mix in some ice magic as her level three Quickening move, Shattering Heart, shows that she has an affinity for that element. Naturally, her EX Burst move would be her Quickening attacks.
