Pre-Owned Albion Knight Sword
Blade: Sharp – Very good condition and has not been used for cutting. Only very minor / light cosmetic blemishes with concentration of scuffs near base of blade
Hilt: – Very good condition. Minor amount of light cosmetic blemishes overall though there is a concentration of light scratches on pommel from use of a scuff pad
Construction: Sword is still durably constructed to factory standard
A sword of type XII, according to Oakeshotts typology, is defined by having a broad and evenly tapering blade. It should have a good point and a fuller that is 2/3 to 3/4 of the blade length. This is perhaps the most classic of all blade styles. So much so that it is close to being the very archetype of the European knightly sword. The heft of this sword is managed by an effective use of nonlinear distal taper and a deep and well defined fuller. This results in a lively and responsive feel that invites you to strike with the sword. The pommel of this sword is of type J: a deep wheel pommel with concave bevels. It is crowned by a high rivet block. The cross is a version of style 2: a straight type of octagonal section that swell at the ends and in the middle. The outer third of the blade towards the point curves gradually to a sharp point. This gives a visual balance to the broad base of the blade and also helps in establishing sweet handling characteristics.
The Albion Knight Sword features a sharpened high carbon steel blade heat-treated to a fine temper in the Albion Forge Shop. The grip is of stabilized birch, wrapped with cord and covered with the highest grade vegetable-tanned calfskin. The guard and pommel are solid steel.

I think Im probably the only person in the universe who has like, complex thoughts about Yggdrasil (like from Digimon). Like “I spent good chunks of my everyday sometimes just thinking about Yggdrasil” levels of caring too much. Which kind of makes me look like a real piece of shit considering Yggdrasil’s main appearances have them trying to like mass murder people.
Listen. I do not condone the actions of the super computer god. Im just saying… could we maybe ponder the idea of a version of them where they ARENT involved in trying to kill people in some way

Fortress: A Little Directory for the Final Fantasy Game That Never Happened
{out of dalmasca} I don’t know how I missed all of this information, given how much I’ve searched for information about Basch over the years, but I recently found this set of sites discussing Fortress, the canceled sequel to Final Fantasy XII for which Basch would have been the main protagonist. They explained a lot more about the game than I ever knew before, so I thought I would pass them along to other fans who may not have seen them either.
Not much is known about it, as it never got out of the early stages of development before the project was canceled. It was abandoned after its now-defunct production studio, Grin, and Square Enix, the makers of FFXII, had some serious creative differences about everything from the climate and type of terrain to use, to story pacing and the levels of involvement of returning characters.
Tumblr media
Fortress was supposed to have centered mainly around a titular, highly magical fortress in northern Ivalice that would have seen Basch (as Judge Magister Gabranth), Queen Ashelia, Emperor Larsa, and others from FFXII charged with defending it from various threats, the most formidable of which was a new villain, Loemund, the King of the Sea. Unfortunately, Grin pushed for the use of a recycled world design from another previously scrapped game, including terrain and climate biomes that didn’t match with that of Ivalice in FFXII:
Tumblr media
This was just the start of some of the catastrophic creative differences between Grin and Square Enix that, along with Grin’s studio ultimately closing, sealed Fortress’ fate before it ever had a chance.
Below are links to a three-part article (the first link is the hub and the next three are the parts of the article) that explains a great deal of information about Fortress, including clothing and enemy design, setting, gameplay, and storyboards. The last link outlines the entire story of the game, so don’t read it unless you want spoilers, although since this game is unlikely ever to be picked up by another studio, I doubt that matters very much. If you are a fan specifically of Basch, Ashelia, Larsa, or even Zargabaath, you’ll want to read the story. It... is not at all what I expected and has some twists and turns that have definitely left me... feeling some things.
Tumblr media
If I find more information about this game in my travels, I will add to this directory, but for now, I’ll leave these here for anyone who is interested and to save them for my own reference:
Everything We Know About Fortress, the Canceled Final Fantasy XII Sequel
The Story Behind Fortress, the Final Fantasy Game That Never Was
The Canceled Final Fantasy XII Sequel: Narrative and Gameplay Revealed
The Story of Fortress, the Canceled Final Fantasy XII Sequel
Feel free to reply to this post with your comments on the story if you do read it. I would love to know what other fans of FFXII think of it.

if hyoure ever taping up printed pieces of paper as decoration make sure you put tape (not rolled) directly on the back side where you want the rolled tape to go. this prevents imprints of the rolled tape shape from forming when you press down on the paper to stick it to the wall as well as preventing the paper from ripping if you ever need to move the poster and need to also replace the rolled tape on the back because its no longer sticky. 👍
