vivisucre:

– They may be gods, but we are the arbiters of our destiny

I’m getting emotional that Fran and Basch are the ones in the frame for this line.

Basch is a paladin, he is loyal to the core, but that doesn’t mean he blindy follows the person he serves. He has always chosen his own path. He chose Rabanastre. He chose to follow his duty even when he was supposed to be dead.

And I’m really happy we see Fran too. She chose her path too. With irrevocable consequences. But she did it anyway so she could seek happiness and there is nothing wrong with that. No one judged her in Eruyt when the party learned her past. But here Basch states it loud and clear. 

Destiny is the heart of Final Fantasy XII. The choice to free themselves from the gods,  is the principle which bonds them. They become a family because they all believe and long for the same freedom.
