==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy XII===
Clans refer to a group of people who work together to drive away fiends and monsters known as marks from civilized areas. Entry to a clan is not publicly known; usually members of the clan would scout out potential clan members who proved their worth by defeating a mark—this happened to Vaan when Tomaj sent him to hunt the Rogue Tomato.
A clan's meeting location is also made secret; clan watchmen would stay guard outside their base, permitting entry only to those with a Clan Primer. One of the famous clans in Rabanastre is Clan Centurio.
===Final Fantasy XIII===
The human civilization of Gran Pulse was organized in clans. Until at least the War of Transgression, Gran Pulsian anthroponyms included the name of their homeland, clan name and given name, in this order.
