This section provies information on Balthier, ramblings and even... more ramblings! If you're here to dig up something at least slightly interesting about this peculiar hero, then you've come to the right place. Each section is organized according to content; the "overview" section is about the extrinsic attributes of the character and story. Likewise, "The human condition" (for lack of a better name) deals with the character on a deeper level, and includes a good amount of speculation. "Dramatis Personnae" contains information about his relationships with other characters, and "Game Elements" is pretty much anything in relation to the game itself.
