Final Fantasy XII victory poses

After defeating a mini-boss or a non-storyline boss, as well an Esper, or certain powerful Marks, the current surviving Final Fantasy XII party members, including guests, perform their victory poses. The party stands in a formation—depending on how many survived the battle—and the camera pans across each of them on the Congratulations screen, the screen showing "You obtained the Esper…" followed by the name of the Esper and its title, or "Mark Vanquished" with the name of the Mark.
The pose they perform is either a weaponless pose, or specific to the weapon type they are holding, including if they fight barehanded. Each character has two weaponless poses, each performed with a probability of ⅙. There are also special cases where a character will only do their weaponless poses after defeating certain bosses.
The party does not speak during battle and there are no victory exclamations.
Vaan has later reprised some of his victory poses in his appearances in the Dissidia series.
