East End Shops

Batahn’s Technicks

Rabanastran (man speaking to other man at bookshelf): Technicks are skills that let you do things no magicks can. Stealing treasures from your foes, stanching wounds… Well, you should know!

Rabanastran (woman talking to red bangaa): My friend here was just telling me about the Salikawood, a great forest that lies beyond the desert, even the mountains. It was once part of the Kingdom of Nabradia, but no one has claimed it since Nabradia’s fall.

The Sandsea

Rabanastran (man sitting at table with woman): The marks from the hunts on the notice board are trouble enough, but I hear there are even tougher hunts out there… The really difficult hunts don’t go up on the boards at all. You can only find out about them through a clan. Huh, they must be some marks…

Tavernmaster: There was a bangaa from the Empire through here, said he was lookin’ for help with something… Can’t for the life of me remember what, though. I do remember he said he’d be out at Westgate. If you’re curious about what he wanted, you can always go ask him yourself.

Rabanastran (black bangaa at bar): Some paths may only be navigated on a chocobo. Not many, to be sure, but they’re there. You need a careful eye to spot ‘em.

Barkeep (man near base of stairs): There was a tremendous explosion in the west, yes? And the Rains have come to Giza, yes? Of course, it had been the Dry for some time… I suppose the one has nothing to do with the other, yes?

Barkeep (woman on balcony): I’m so glad all of our patrons can use the balcony again. Before the war it was such a lively place, but no so since the Imperials had come. If he never does another thing for us, I’ll still be grateful to our new consul.

Yugri’s Magicks

Rabanastran (woman in pink, yellow, and blue browsing bottles): D’you see that Imperial just there? Word is he was caught ducking his duties in the Sandsea and ordered to stand watch here instead.

Earnest Seeq: Wanted to try out me magicks, so I heads down to the Ozmone Plain. Saw me a garif, and bein’ as you don’t see ‘em every day, I a-followed him. Along the way we passes this cave, and curiosity gets the better of me. So I steps in, but the beasts in there… You best not even know! The garif kept right on past that cave, and he had the right of it.

Panamis’s Protectives

Rabanastran (man in tan and yellow browsing curio): Did you ever notice the guard on the second floor of the Sandsea? I think he may have been caught loafing about on the job. Now he’s been moved over to Yugri’s Magicks, but I doubt that will make any difference.

Rabanastran (red bangaa speaking to woman): Rain may fall and sandstorms may whorl, but I’ve not seen anything to match the coming of the Rains in Giza! The villages empty, and I’d swear the lay of the land itself seems to change! Neither the time nor the place to find yourself lost!

Amal’s Weaponry

Rabanastran (tan bangaa in green vest): Can’t say as I know for certain it’s Lord Vayne’s doing, but the guards do seem to be getting on better with people than they used to. You can be sure the guards aren’t too pleased by it. I’d hate to be whoever or whatever they’re taking their frustrations out on.

Sherral: In addition to my inspections, I’ve been assigned patrols as well. The combat can be trying, I’m not ashamed to admit. I suppose I had let myself grow soft… Mayhap this is just the proper medicine.

Amal: Take the Amal challenge! You’ll not find weapons of higher quality! [shop menu]

Migelo’s Sundries

Rabanastran (woman in pink top and headscarf): They lost contact with the Imperial Fleet out west of Rabanastre. They wouldn’t have flown into jagd, would they? That would be suicide.

Rabanastran (orange seeq): When I was growing up, I heard all manner of stories about the great hume-king Raithwall.

Rabanastran (man talking to tan bangaa): South of Giza Plains? That’s the northern tip of Kerwon. You’ll find races you’ve never even seen in Dalmasca down that way.

Rabanastran (woman in pink, green, and tan): Relations between Archadia and Rozarria haven’t been good. The Rozarrians couldn’t have been glad to see Rabanastre fall to Archadia.

Migelo: Making trouble with the Imperials, sneaking into the sewers… never know which way the wind blows with you, m’boy! Now you’re traveling the world! I won’t try to stop you, though. Just you be sure to look after Penelo while you’re at it, eh?

East End Shops

Amal’s Weaponry

Rabanastran (tan bangaa): There hasn’t been any official proclamation yet, but apparently some insurgents staged an assault on the palace the night of the fete. You could hear the commotion all over the city. It quieted down soon enough, though. Maybe it was just part of the night’s entertainment?

Imperial/Sherral: These weapons inspections may not seem like much, but they’re vital to restricting the supply of arms to insurgents and other undesirables. What would happen if powerful weapons should find their way to the insurgents? War, that’s what. So must we be ever vigilant.

Amal: Say, aren’t you the lad that minds Migelo’s shop when he’s busy? Poor thing… Oh, sorry. Must’ve confused you with someone else. No harm meant by it, boy. Now, how may I help you? [shop menu]

Panamis’s Protectives

Rabanastran (man browsing curio): The news of thieves in the palace had put a little spring in my step, but that was the last interesting thing to happen ‘round here. Peace and quiet is all well and good, but it can be rather dull.

Lively Bangaa: The Consul may have changed, but you wouldn’t know it to look out on the streets. Though I do suppose these things take time.

Panamis: We’ve a fine assortment of armors for the choosing. There’s sure to be something to tickle your fancy! Why, that’s a most unusual stone you’ve got there! Don’t suppose you’d be interested in sellin’? N-No, what am I saying! If I go off buying odd knickknacks again, me mum will have a fit! Now, where was I? Ah, yes! Armors! Armors for the choosing! [shop menu]

Yugri’s Magicks

Rabanastran (woman in blue, yellow, and pink browsing shelves): I’m sure you’ve heard about the insurgents who stormed the palace. It made me realize just how important it is to be able to defend yourself. All’s quiet now, but who can say what the future may bring?

Earnest Seeq: Magicks is a fickle mistress… I can’t make no sense of her. But sense or senseless, I done made up me mind to have at her, and let the chips fall where they may.

Yugri: Are you sure you shouldn’t be helping Migelo today? With him and Penelo out, poor Kytes is minding the shop by himself. Sorry, you came to shop, not to talk. [shop menu]

The Sandsea

Rabanastran (man sitting at table with woman): Those Imperials have finally left the balcony… I can’t remember the last time I sat down to a meal without knowing they were watching. If it feels this good to have them out of the Sandsea, imagine how good it would feel to be rid of them altogether.

Tavernmaster: A pair of what looked to be sky pirates came in just now. A viera and a hume… can you imagine?

Rabanastran (black bangaa chatting with Tomaj): You remember that hullabaloo the night of the Consul’s fete? The explosions, the airships… Well, they say it was over some thieves that broke into the palace, but I don’t fool that easy. They’re hidin’ somethin’, I know it.

Barkeep (man standing a foot of stairs): You’ve heard of Bhujerba, the skycity, yes? When I was young, I used to think if I could get to Bhujerba, I could become a sky pirate… Ignorance can be such bliss. Speaking of sky pirates, you should get a look at the fellow up on the balcony.

Balthier: I believe our business is finished, yes? Hadn’t you better say hello to all your little friends?

Fran: She must worry for you. Balthier’s handkerchief may dry her tears, but it cannot console her.

Balthier: That’s right. I’d prefer to get that back with as few tear stains as possible. Better hurry.

Balthier (x2): Well, hadn’t you better say hello to all your little friends? Surely someone will be glad to see you’re back.

Fran (x2): Surely you have somewhere else you should be. Does no one await your return?

Batahn’s Technicks

Rabanastran (woman speaking with moogle): I thought – Tomaj said – Weren’t you captured and sent to Nalbina? …You escaped!? You? I shouldn’t have written you off so easily. Have you said hello to Migelo or Penelo yet? Poor Penelo’s been inconsolable since you left.

Rabanastran (woman chatting with red bangaa): The Consul’s begun making changes throughout the city. Who knows, there may even be new jobs to be had. I may start looking for one myself.

Batahn: Ah, Vaan. You haven’t seen Penelo lately, have you? No, no, I don’t need her for anything in particular. Usually she’s stopped in to see if there are any chores need doing by now, and I was curious why she hadn’t is all… Now, what can I get for you? [shop menu]

Yugri's Magicks

Rabanastran (woman in blue pants): Things certainly are bustling over at Migelo’s. I hear he’s in charge of preparations for the Consul’s fete.

Earnest Seeq: As I understands it, walkin’ ‘round can restore spent magickal energies… but I can’t for the life of me understand why! Magicks is a fickle mistress…

Rabanastran (man in green & brown shorts): If you plan to dabble in magick, you’ll need to be wary of elementals. They won’t normally bother you, but they’re sensitive to magicks. When they sense the working of magicks nearby, they react by attacking the caster with magicks of their own. And they’re frightfully powerful.

Yugri: I’m sorry, we’re still getting the shop in order. Please call again soon!
