So I haven't played this game in almost a year. I picked up where I left off but I don't really remember the story. Can anyone fill me in? I picked up at Raithwall's Tomb.

I believe your party goes to the Tomb of Raithwall to get the Dawn Shard (or the Dusk Shard, I don't remember), because Ashe needs proof of her lineage.

That's a rough summary, as I only half-remember.

I mean the entire story, from the beginning up to the time when I get to the Tomb of Raithwall. I can't remember anything about this game and I'd like to be able to follow the story.

Might have to start over. If I ever get a PS2 that works I'd probably start from the beginning. I was far past where you're at and I don't think it would be a good idea to get into it without knowing anything.

Whatever. I'm sure I'll figure it out. I know that I'll get bored with it if I start from the beginning.

I know I will too. I'll probably stop playing in the same spot again.

It's always that I start doing something else and realize I don't miss playing it in the least.

I actually got to the very same point before I gave up on the game, I'm also stuck with the same problem of not havinga clue what's going on. It's the second time I'd left the game to tor for a while and after the first I'd had to start over as I simply had no idea what was going on.

I'm really enjoying the game, but I just have no idea what's happening.

Isn't is the same every time? Some how an ancient evil is tapped by a modern one, which upsets the status quo and the protagonists life. Protagonist goes on a journey to gather strength, allies, and knowledge.

I think the setting and actual chronological order of events is still kind of important if you want to follow a particular story rather than a general one.

I just tried playing FFXII and have absolutely no idea what's going on, but I got destroyed by some little midget doll things in some Soul Chamber or something.

Dude. Wiki FFXII


Final Fantasy XII begins in Dalmasca's capital city of Rabanastre, where the happiness from the union of Princess Ashe of Dalmasca and Prince Rasler of Nabradia is interrupted by the Archadian Empire's invasion of Nabradia. In the subsequent war, Nabradia and Dalmasca are subjugated by Archadia; Prince Rasler is killed, and the Dalmascan king Raminas, after signing treaty of surrender, is apparently assassinated by the Dalmascan captain Basch. Reks, a young knight under Basch's command, bears witness to the assassination, but later dies of his injuries. Marquis Ondore announces that Basch has been executed and Princess Ashe has committed suicide.[34]
Two years later, Vaan, the younger brother of Reks, is living a life of a street urchin in Rabanastre. Despite his friend Penelo's objections, he infiltrates the Rabanastre palace during a dinner celebrating the appointment of Vayne Solidor as consul. During the infiltration, Vaan encounters Balthier and Fran, a pair of sky pirates who are after the magicite that Vaan took. Their escape attempt fails when a battle breaks out between Imperial troops and Dalmascan Resistance forces, and they end up in the sewers where they stumble upon the Resistance leader, Amalia. Vaan, Balthier, and Fran are captured by the Archadians and detained at the Nalbina Dungeons. In Nalbina, the three encounter Basch, imprisoned but alive, and they escape with him; Basch pleads that his twin brother, Gabranth, had posed as him on the night of the treaty and was the true assassin. While skeptical at first, Vaan eventually believes him.[35] With the help of Balthier and Fran, the party then travels to Bhujerba, where Penelo is kidnapped by Ba'Gamnan, a headhunter trying to catch Balthier. While rescuing Penelo, the party meets Lamont, a curious boy who is in truth Vayne's younger brother, Larsa.[36] Basch is also able to confront the Marquis, who captures the party and detains them onboard the Archadian airship Leviathan, headed by Judge Ghis.
On the Leviathan, the party is reunited with Amalia, revealed to be Princess Ashe.[37] Ghis takes Vaan's magicite, a symbol of royal Dalmascan lineage, and sends it to Archadia. The company escapes from the airship after defeating Ghis and returns to Bhujerba; however, lacking the magicite, Ashe has no proof of her identity and Ondore suggests that Ashe remain hidden in Bhujerba.[38] Instead, Ashe escapes and attempts to collect the treasures of Dynast-King Raithwall, which would prove her royal blood.[39] The party acquires the Dawn Shard, a piece of "deifacted Nethicite", from Raithwall's Tomb, but Ghis seizes it. The small piece of magicite destroys the Leviathan, Ghis, and his fleet.

So do I start the game over or try to level up or something? Actually, I think I have some gigantic, obnoxious strategy guide that came with this game, let me reference that.

Edit - The first page I opened up to was the page I'm on, hah.

Also I'm about 9-10 levels below what I should be at this point, so I guess I'm going to have to level up some. I'm also going to have to read a recap at some point.
