* This would kind of undercut Delita's lack of noble blood being an [[RagsToRiches important plot point]]. Also, why would Barbaneth acknowledge Ramza and Alma as his blood children but keep Delita a secret? The more likely scenario is that after their birth parents died of plague, Barbaneth 'adopted' Delita and Tietra after a fashion because of his kindness and their closeness with his blood children, as he made sure that Delita was sent to the same military school as Ramza, and implicitly also that Tietra and Alma were schooled together. It wasn't unheard of in medieval society for a well-off noble to take a child into their household to be a companion (and perhaps later servant[=/=]subordinate) to their own children. And given that [[PracticallyDifferentGenerations by Ramza's teens, Dycedarg and Zalbaag were well into adulthood]], Ramza and Alma might not have had any friends their own age otherwise.

Ajora is mostly presented as a male in the game. However, 12 implies they were female. The portrait of the False Saint/Phony Saint is male, but their sprite when possessing Alma is female. Yasumi Matsuno showed unused artwork of Tactics in a livestream circa 2018, and Ajora's art is clearly female. The most logical explanation is that Ajora was born female, but transitioned at some point to male (either to spread their gospel, or to continue to do their job as a spy, take your pick). This would explain nearly all the plot holes caused by the Virgo auracity during the sunken Mullonde arc, like why ''Alma'' is a suitable host, rather than a male. Ultima can't choose a male host ''because'' she's female in reality!

[[WMG:Dycedarg was Orinus's biological father, or at least planned to marry his mother Louveria.]]
In a society where the heir of a noble estate would have been encouraged, even ''expected'' to marry and have heirs to make sure his lands and titles stayed within his family line, it seems odd that no wife[=/=]children were mentioned for Dycedarg, who was nearing forty. Especially given that his scheme(s) involved essentially murdering his way to the rank of Duke. Focus is given to his longtime friendship with Larg (who notably also has no named children despite being a high noble and old enough that children should not only exist, but likely be old enough to have plot significance), to the point where Dycedarg gave his birthright title as Commander of the Northern Sky to Zalbaag so that Dycedarg could serve as close to Larg as possible. Given Dycedarg's plans in particular, being almost forty with no heir seems shortsighted... ''unless'' part of his plan involved Larg's younger sister, Queen Louveria. Dycedarg would have seen Louveria grow up given his close relationship to her brother, and may have been banking on a scenario where Orinus is crowned king with Larg as regent, and in return Larg gives away Louveria to Dycedarg as a bride, making Dycedarg the boy king's stepfather. Then Larg "dies suddenly", leaving the only logical choice for regent as Dycedarg himself. It's also notable that Orinus's own parentage came into question due to the king's ill health. As mentioned before, Dycedarg and Louveria would have been well acquainted......

** Gametrailers didn't really have their facts straight, but yes, this timeline is confirmed in the Ultimania. The patched together in-game maps from FFXII and FFT are ''wrong'' however; watch the prologue of FFXII again, and you can see there's a vast expanse of Ordalia in the way of that theory. The presence of Goug city in TA2, however, probably indicates that (following the Cataclysm that screws up technology) the Ordallian half of Jylland becomes the region from FFT. So FFT takes place on the other side of the ''continent'' from FFXII, but in the same region as FFTA2, though changed so much that it's mostly unrecognisable except insofar as it's a west-facing peninsula and has a city called Goug.

I mean, hell, ''WotL'' practically gives this to you on a silver platter if you know Balthier's true name - [[spoiler:Ffamran mied '''Bunansa''']], not to mention the characters' similar function and skillset. And that Balthier's skillset is essentially Mustadio's on steroids. Also, even if Balthier's not the one Mustadio is descended from (which would naturally be one more reason to ask whether [[DidTheyOrDidntThey Balthier and Fran...]]), it's mentioned that Cidolfus Bunansa (Balthier's father) had two other sons whose names and statuses are not mentioned. A lot of times in MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame, missing relatives that don't ever show up = dead relatives - but what if they, like Balthier, lived under assumed identities, perhaps only resurfacing after Cid's death? Given that Mustadio's surname was given the smallest of alterations (from "Bunan'''z'''a" to "Bunan'''s'''a") specifically to match that of the FFXII father-son duo, their relation is almost a certainty. [[FridgeBrilliance And if Balthier's the progenitor and the lesson of what happens when human beings screw with power they're not meant to wield, was passed from father to son, it would explain why Besrodio attempted to take control of the Zodiac Stone.]]

* Some time later, Ramza takes a turn as a DM running a high-to-epic level party, handing off his character sheet to his girlfriend. Battle one of his campaign? A rematch against Queklain, of course. He also runs a B-campaign starring the Shrine Knights, but since they're all evil-aligned characters the ones who aren't killed by the A-campaign stab each other in the back. Eventually the players left in the B-campaign (including a certain {{Munchkin}} who was playing a BadassGrandpa) decide to join in the A-campaign. At this point the party hits epic level, so Ramza ditches the political intrigue portion of the plot and just has everyone go demon-slaying, since they were clearly having more fun doing that than anything else.
