Basch fon Ronsenburg/Other appearances

Series appearances

Final Fantasy XIV

Basch van Gabranth was the name of a Legatus of the Garlean Empire who led the IVth Imperial Legion to invade Bozja. However, Basch was not a native Garlean; he was a knight of Landis, which the empire conquered, and Basch bent the knee to the emperor. Thirty years ago, during the empire's invasion of Dalmasca, Basch's health took a turn for the worse and his son, Noah van Gabranth, took command of the IVth Legion and the Dalmascan invasion. Two years later, Basch died and Noah was named Legatus, some say in recognition of his father's service.

Fortress

Basch was to be the main protagonist for the cancelled Final Fantasy XII spin-off sequel game, where he would have defended Ivalice and Ashe from a marine army seeking to take over the land. He would have had a small romance with her, but it would not have worked out and the two would have drifted apart by the game's end. Basch would have been one of the only people in Ivalice to believe the legends of an old sea king who tries to invade Ivalice every 10,000 years and would have traveled to the uncharted territories to defend a magickal fortress, the only structure standing between Ivalice and the sea that the marine forces would try to overtake. He would have been joined by his old allies from Final Fantasy XII as well as Larsa and other Archadian Judges. Only his closest friends would have been aware of his true identity, with most others calling him "Judge Gabranth".^[1]

He would have faced challenges when defending the fortress from the sea king Loemund and allying with the demigod Laegd after besting him in battle. Basch would have become torn between his self-appointed duty and his growing feelings for Ashe, who was developing feelings for Larsa. He would have come into conflict with Zargabaath after his true identity was revealed, resulting in his temporary imprisonment. In the end, when he had the chance to escape, Basch would have decided to stay behind and defeated Loemond at the cost of his life. The epilogue would have seen Laegd taking Basch's body to Loemond's castle, where he would have been resurrected and become the new Sea King.^[2]

Dissidia Final Fantasy

Though he does not appear in person, several references to Basch are made in Dissidia. Gabranth uses variations of Basch's Quickenings for his EX Burst and Keith Ferguson, Basch's voice actor in Final Fantasy XII, voices Gabranth in place of his original actor, Michael E. Rogers. Basch is also the namesake for a Ghost Card, a Level 100 Gabranth that the player can win Orange Gems and Nethicite from through battlegen.
