Final Fantasy I/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


This is the Character sheet for Final Fantasy I.

The Warriors of Light

Warrior/Fighter --> Knight

The main melee fighter of the group. He can wield many heavy weapons such as swords and axes, and can wear the heaviest of armors. This affects his speed, as it greatly reduces his ability to dodge attacks. When promoted, he becomes a Knight, capable of casting some White Magic up to level 3. The Warrior appears representing the original Final Fantasy in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series alongside Garland and Chaos and will be appearing in the Spin-Off title Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.

Thief --> Ninja

The secondary melee fighter of the group. He can use most of the same weapons that the Fighter can, but doesn't have as much variety in armor. He is, however, faster than the Knight, and has a better chance at running away from battle than other classes. Upon promotion, he can become a Ninja, and can cast some Black Magic up to level 4.

Black Belt/Monk --> Master

Yet another powerful melee damage dealer, the Monk is a peculiar character in that he deals much more damage unarmed than he would with weapons. Even then, he can only wield nunchaku and a few staves. He is also the only class who is never able to learn magic. His damage-dealing capabilities are increased even further when he receives his promotion to Master.

Red Mage --> Red Wizard

The quintessential "jack-of-all-trades, but master of none." The Red Mage (Red Wizard after promotion) can use select spells from both the White and Black Magic schools, but never the most powerful of either. His choice of weaponry is knives and swords.

White Mage --> White Wizard

The peaceful healer of the group. The White Mage is weak physically, but is capable of using every spell from the White Magic library, from healing spells to status buffs to the undead-killing Harm/Dia spells. When promoted, the White Mage becomes a White Wizard, letting down the hood of her robe and revealing a full head of hair.

Black Mage --> Black Wizard

The primary magic damage-dealer of the group. With the lowest HP of any character, Black Mages are often kept in the back of the line as they rain down fire, ice and lightning on their foes. They are easily spotted by their cone-shaped hats and cloaks that obscure their face (save a pair of glowing eyes). In the NES version, the promoted Black Wizard removes his hat, but all versions after the Wonderswan Color port simply change the outfit, but keep the face-concealing hat on.

Villains

Garland/Chaos

A former Knight of Cornelia, he kidnapped Princess Sara, and rescuing her is the first quest of the game. Initially presented as just the first boss and forgotten as soon as he's killed, he returns at the end of the game and is revealed to have been the Big Bad all along—he was sent back in time by the Four Fiends when he was killed to absorb their power and become Chaos. Garland and Chaos appear in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series as separate entities and both will be appearing in the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Spin-Off as boss characters.

Lich

The Fiend of Earth, who resides in the Cavern of Earth. His siphoning of the Earth Crystal's power has caused the land around Melmond to rot and become lifeless.

  • Undead
  • Dishing Out Dirt
  • Elemental Embodiment
  • The Man Behind the Man: When the party goes to Melmond for the first time, the citizen said that a vampire was the one who made the land rot. But after you defeat said vampire, you will notice something off, along with a sealed door behind the vampire's chamber. Put two on two together with the fact that the land still continue to rot...
  • Wham! Episode: His sudden reappearance in the past version of the Chaos Shrine. Followed shortly by another with the realization that the other three are there, too. They are.

Marilith/Kary

The Fiend of Fire, who has made her home in the volcano called Mt. Gulg. She was the last of the Fiends to awaken, originally due to arise 200 years after the Lich.

Kraken

The Fiend of Water, who lives deep under the ocean in the Sunken Shrine.

Tiamat

The Fiend of Air, residing high above the earth in the Flying Fortress. She was the first of the Fiends to awaken, and is the most powerful of the lot. Tiamat is responsible for forcing the sky-dwelling Lufenians to Earth when she took over their fortress.

Other Characters

Princess Sarah

The beautiful eldest Princess of the Kingdom of Corneria, Garland takes her captive when he goes rogue as a ransom to the kingdom. She will be appearing as a playable sub-character in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.

Bahamut

The Dragon King living under the Caradia Islands.

Matoya

A witch who lives in a cave. She cannot see without the use of her special Crystal Eye.

Prince of Elfheim

An Elf Prince who resides in a castle at Elfheim and is put into a deep sleep by the evil Dark Elf Astos.

Astos

A minor villian, the Dark Elf who placed a sleeping spell upon the elf prince of Elfheim in a bid to rule over all elves.
