Previously, Vaan and his new friends finally escaped Barheim Passage and made it back to Rabanastre. Vaan is now on his own again, but not for long. His next goal is to try to find Penelo.
After resuming at the Eastgate in Rabanastre, Vaan talks to Hurdy at the Moogling (time 0:31). He warps to the Sandsea in the East End.
A scene takes place when Vaan enters Migelo's Sundries (time 1:16). Kytes's news is troubling. Vaan's next objective is to visit Old Dalan in Lowtown.
While at the shop, Vaan sells off some loot (time 2:23). Selling a batch of 3 Small Feathers causes the Tail of the Phoenix set to appear on the Bazaar. It costs 400 gil. Tail of the Phoenix contains 2 tufts of Phoenix Down. This costs exactly the same as purchasing 2 tufts of Phoenix Down from the shop.
While in the East End, Vaan also checks out the Magick and Technick shops, but there is nothing new.
In the Sandsea, a brief scene takes place when he addresses Balthier (time 5:30). Balthier and Fran remind him of the task at hand.
Vaan spends 1 gil for some more information fron the Rabanastran child in the East End (time 6:21). He speaks of the attack on the palace.
Vaan descends to Lowtown (time 6:54). He heads to the South Sprawl.
In Dalan's House, a scene takes place when Vaan talks to Old Dalan (time 7:44). Dalan gives Vaan a Sword of the Order and tells him to deliver it to Captain Azelas at the marked location in the North Sprawl.
We regain control of Vaan in Dalan's House after the scene (time 9:25).
In the North Sprawl, Vaan speaks to Balzac in the southwest (time 10:42). After some conversation, Balzac lets Vaan through.
A scene takes place in the Resistance hideout (time 11:14). It would seem Basch's return has sparked some debate. Things between Basch and Captain Azelas seem tense right now.
The next scene takes place with Vaan and Basch in the North Sprawl (time 13:12). Basch formally joins the party and asks Vaan to take him to Balthier.
After the scene, we regain control of the party (time 13:52). Relative to Vaan's Level 9, Basch joins at Level 11. He comes with a Mythril Blade, a Bronze Helm, and Bronze Armor. He goes ahead and equips a Leather Shield that the party has acquired.
As for Licenses, Basch chooses the Foebreaker license board. Later on, he will also take on the Time Battlemage license board. Basch picks up a few licenses: a Gambit Slot for 15 LP, a Gambit Slot for 20 LP, a Gambit Slot for 30 LP, Axes & Hammers 2 for 25 LP, Axes & Hammers 1 for 20 LP, +30 HP for 20 LP, Battle Lore for 30 LP, +70 HP for 30 LP, Battle Lore for 30 LP, +110 HP for 40 LP, Battle Lore for 30 LP, +150 HP for 50 LP, and Battle Lore for 30 LP. Vaan also picks up another Gambit Slot for 20 LP.
The party can return to Old Dalan for some new dialogue (time 17:58).
They return to Rabanastre (time 18:32).
A scene takes place when the party goes to the Sandsea (time 18:46). Good for you, Vaan.
We resume control of the party after the scene (time 20:05).
In the Sandsea, a scene takes place when the party approaches Balthier and Fran upstairs (time 21:31). Migelo has received a distressing note about Penelo. Against their better judgement, Balthier and Fran rejoin the party to provide transportation to Bhujerba.
Balthier has some dialogue after the cutscene (time 22:53). Vaan must meet Balthier in the Aerodrome in Westgate.
We regain control of the party after these events (time 23:05). Balthier and Fran rejoin exactly as they were.
One new hunt is available at the notice board: the Wraith, Rank I. The party will handle it later.
Over in the North End, the party talks to Montblanc in the Clan Hall (time 24:55). For defeating the four Flans in the Garamsythe Waterway, they earn 150 gil. For defeating the Firemane in the Garamsythe Waterway, they earn 200 gil. For defeating the Mimic Queen in the Barheim Passage, they earn 300 gil.
Two elite marks are now available from Montblanc: the Cluckatrice, Rank I, and the Rocktoise, Rank I. The party will handle these hunts later; they are tough for this point in the game.
The description is continued in the comments.
