Story
Edit
The Light Warriors visit Sasune so as to obtain the castle's Mythril Ring and lift the Djinn's curse, but they find that Princess Sara Altney has taken it to the Sealed Cave, where the Djinn resides.
In the DS version, the party meets Ingus here, since he was unaffected by the Djinn's curse. Hoping to break the curse on the castle, Ingus joins the party in order to find Princess Sara.
Later, after defeating the Djinn, the party returns here to cleanse the Mythril Ring used to seal him. This banishes the curse once and for all.

EtymologyEdit
Sasune most likely derives from Sassoon, a name historically most often associated with certain families of Iraqi Jews, but is also found among Armenian and Kurdish families, and the name for all three is derived from Sason (Armenian Սասուն, Sasoun; Hebrew שָׂשׂוֹן, Sāsōn; Kurdish Sason or Qabilcewz; Turkish Sason) in an area of eastern Anatolia to the west of Lake Van. The name is believed to be of Armenian origin.
TriviaEdit
- In the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary remakes of the original Final Fantasy, Sasune is one of the automatic names the player can choose for the Warrior Job.
- One of the rooms from the Online Lobby in Dissidia Final Fantasy is named Sasune.
- According to one of the Trivia Mognet Questions in Dissidia, Sasune is the kingdom where Prince Schneider hails from in "I want to be your Canary". This puzzles many players, as there is no mention of such a thing in the English Final Fantasy IX script.
