Cie Grant refers to a grant system established within the Final Fantasy XII universe, specifically within the nation of Ivalice and further detailed in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and related lore. It is a formalized request and reward system managed by the Judges for adventurers and sky pirates.
The Cie Grant system provides a structured means for citizens and organizations to post tasks or requests, often involving monster hunting, retrieval of items, or escort duties. These requests, formally called Cie Grants, are then available for adventurers to accept and complete. Upon successful completion of a Cie Grant, the adventurer receives a reward, typically gil (the currency of Ivalice) and sometimes other valuable items or reputation within the region.
The system is designed to benefit both the citizens of Ivalice and the adventurers. Citizens receive assistance with dangerous tasks or the procurement of rare items, while adventurers gain access to readily available jobs and a reliable source of income. The Judges act as intermediaries, ensuring the legitimacy of the requests and distributing the rewards.
The Cie Grant system is a key element of the world-building, illustrating the interplay between adventurers, citizens, and the legal system within Ivalice. It also provides a gameplay mechanic for players in related Final Fantasy XII media, offering structured side quests and opportunities for character progression.
