Character
Developments
(Spoilers)
Behind his
seemingly cool and calm self, Balthier actually hides a relatively dark past
with him. He used to be a Judge under the empire and eventually left
everything behind for the freedom of being a sky pirate. Balthier
couldn't bear to see his father succumb to the madness and obsession behind
nethicite and ran away from him. Always seeking adventure and new
challenges, Balthier is caught up in the middle of the struggle for
Dalmasca's freedom.
Review
Some of the
lines for his dialogue make for some pretty interesting comedy relief but
beyond that, Balthier also has an important role in the storyline,
especially with his relationship to Doctor Cid. Though reckless at
times, Balthier knows how to play his cards right and likes to consider
himself the "leading man".
