Hey I'm just wondering where I get the fishing pole I'm saposed to give to the dude in the estersand village. He asks for a rod and I can't find one, so if you could help me out that would be great.

Just go to sites like Gamefaqs or Neoseeker and find a FAQ. Click on one then press Ctrl and F and that'll give u a search window. Just type in Fishing Rod and It should work

I haven't played XII in the longest time. I just gave up when I got to the Pharos

There's a pretty good guide here:
Guides: Final Fantasy XII Guide (PS2), Final Fantasy XII Walkthrough

And there is some good stuff at GameFAQs, including a Fishing Guide:
Final Fantasy XII FAQs - Final Fantasy XII Walkthroughs - Final Fantasy XII Guides

Like I said B4 I've got the game guide itself! So instead of downloading wich could take away from game play contact me I'll give U the answers!
