Lore Masters! Is There A Possible Garlean Special Forces Op?

[Aerish]

Professor Moose will definitely cover things in far greater detail in his post than I can so I won't steal his thunder, but the special unit that Nero quoted you're referring to was the Frumentari - you actually have to fight them during the 2.0 storyline at the Church of Saint Adama Landama in Eastern Thanalan when the player is hiding out there after Livia's raid on the Waking Sands.

Gameplay wise they're dressed like regular Garlean troops though and don't have any particularly special abilities, at least, none that I can remember. Their whole point seems to be military intelligence for the Garleans, which explains why they were found lurking at the church, trying to trace the player's whereabouts (and would also confirm Nero's comments about "Frumentari sees all").

For the player or for Cid ?
