Final Fantasy XII/Awesome


 * Final Fantasy XII has a few of its own. For example, anything Basch or Balthier do. Ever. The final duel with Gabranth and repairing the Bahamut and piloting it away from Rabanastre, respectively, are probably the best.
 * Fran reacting violently to the Mist while captured. After convulsing in pain, she then, after letting out a terrifying scream contrary to her reserved, subtle nature, proceeds to tear the Imperial guard trying to hold her down a new one by flipping on them with claws and jumping off each other rapidly single-handedly.
 * Fran also gets a special mention for not being held up as a sex symbol depending on how you interpret it, despite her clothing...or lack of it.
 * In the Pharos: Ashe: : The princess who spent most of the game ready to  decide to defy   and become truly, completely, heroic.
 * Vaan telling Gabranth, the man who murdered his brother in cold blood, how revenge is pointless. He's saying this to the man who murdered his guardian and forced him to live on the streets for two years.
 * And then, at the very end of the game: : until this point, this troper was not sure if   was an ally or a Manipulative Bastard toward , but then, while it would have been easy to   who asked for it,   we then learn that  , and we get a very rare exemple of a Rousing Speech given by the last boss  : now, making a game when the player can respect the villains for more than being sexy is quite a feat.
 * Also, Judge Zargabaath's redemption for his earlier failures in the game's closing act. It proves unnecessary, but it was a damn heroic sentiment.
 * It helps that he's voiced by Simon Templeman, who plays Kain in the Legacy of Kain series, a game series renowned for it's voice acting. And anyone who's played those games knows that his voice exudes awesome.
 * "I, condemn you to oblivion!"
 * Larsa's comes when
 * Larsa dissolving Vayne's swords, leaving Vayne shocked.
 * Gabranth
 * Before that, we had Vayne Hulking Out of Manufacted Nethicite, and an injured Gabranth dragging himself onto the scene. Vayne tells him to protect Larsa while he deals with your party. He looks at Larsa, who is lying unconcious on the ground, and at Vayne who is standing above him spewing magic everywhere. Then, he points his sword at Vayne, and comes out with the most awesome line "Yes, I will protect Lord Larsa".
 * Vaan . Impressive considering how early in the story arc his character arc was resolved.
 * There's more than a few, notably Balthier's Hovercycle escape, but if any stands out, it would have to be
 * Any scene involving a Judge Magister, or them talking and debating with each other. Few and far between though.
 * What and Reddas  The people in Balfonheim who knew him even called it   for him.
 * Going to throw in another for Vaan. When they reach Eruyt Village the Viera are all ignoring you and basically telling you to piss off. Vaan's response paraphrased? "I don't care what you want". He then proceeds to continue browbeating them until they finally give in. Even Balthier admits that he didn't think they would get anything out of the Viera.
 * Judge Drace gets one when she, even when Bergan informs her that  . Even though the scene leads to  , it's still pretty awesome..
 * The Shiva exploding after Ghis tests the Dusk Shard by sticking it in the ship's drive. Awesome in that "wrath of God" type way.
