The Group Leader is a term in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. It is used to describe a unit that has special abilities in the battlefield, abilities that other, "normal" units, such as Yarhi, do not. Group Leaders are designated on in-game maps by pin icons which are larger than the regular dots of other units.

All playable characters are Group Leaders; Vaan, Penelo, Llyud, Kytes, Filo, Balthier, Fran, Ashe, Basch, and temporarily Ba'Gamnan.

Enemy Group Leaders include sky pirates, aegyl, and certain bosses, such as Feolthanos Exultant.

  • Gain EXP after battle and level up.
  • In battles where auracite is used, Yarhi will be summoned to each Group Leader's side at the start of the fight. The type of Yarhi summoned will be same as the Leader's type.
  • Can interact with field icons, including:
