Line 13:
** Even without the Snow Muffler, Gau's Magic Pot Rage is this - has a chance to cast Curaga on itself every turn, healing a lot of HP, and is immune to all status ailments and elemental attacks.
* [[World of Cardboard Speech]]/[[Patrick Stewart Speech]]/[[Kirk Summation]]: The Whole party minus the optional ones give one to Kefka when he tells the party that [[Nietzsche Wannabe|life is meaningless.]] Suffice to say, He is not amused.
{{quote| '''Kefka Palazzo:''' [[Shut Up, Kirk|Bleh! You people make me sick! You sound like the chapters from a self-help book!]]}}
 
== Heroes ==
Line 22:
ティナ・ブランフォード<br /><small>Tina Buranfōdo</small>
 
{{quote| "A [[Mysterious Waif|mysterious young woman]], controlled by [[The Empire]], and born with [[The Gift]] of magic..."}}
 
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Terra has access to more attacks in the Magitek Armor in addition of standard three elemental beams and one healing move. In the [[Updated Rerelease|Game Boy Advance version]] her class name is Magitek Elite.
Line 89:
ロック・コール<br /><small>Rokku Kōru</small>
 
{{quote| "Treasure hunter and trail-worn traveller, searching the world over for relics of the past..."}}
 
* [[Bad Bad Acting]]: His improvised on the spot acting after he, his comrades and Ultros unintentionally hijack the Opera.
Line 122:
エドガー・ロニ・フィガロ<br /><small>Edogā Roni Figaro</small>
 
{{quote| "The young king of Figaro Castle, ally to the Empire, and a master designer of machinery..."}}
 
* [[Anchors Away]]: His Air Anchor tool, which may insta-kill an enemy.
Line 138:
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Kind of. He's not actually old, but he has some banter with Relm Arrowny (depending on the translation) to this effect. Relm is ten years old and probably young enough to be his daughter.
** It's worth noting that his actual dialogue is ''extremely'' cynical, as it's delivered just after a huge [[Player Punch]]. He more or less is saying that he hopes Relm ''isn't dead'' by the time she's of marriageable age, which is a distinct possibility:
{{quote| "Here's hoping you're still around in eight years, kid."}}
* [[The Dutiful Son]]: Edgar willingly stayed behind to rule over Figaro when Sabin became so desperate to strike out on his own. Edgar eventually settled the matter with a rigged coin toss that allowed Sabin to leave with a clear conscience.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]
Line 146:
* [[Insists on Paying]]: If you have him at the head of your party while in Figaro Castle, the shopkeepers there will refuse to take any payment. Edgar insists ("Look, don't you have a family to feed?"), and the player gets a nice discount as a compromise.
* [[The Jailbait Wait]]:
{{quote| '''Edgar''' (regarding Relm): Not even a lady yet... Here's hoping you're still around in eight years, kid.}}
* [[King Incognito]]: Well, sort of. "Gerad", heh heh.
* [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask|The Man Wearing the Kingly Mask]]: It comes off when he talks to Sabin in the throne room.
Line 168:
マッシュ・レネ・フィガロ<br /><small>Masshu Rene Figaro</small>
 
{{quote| "Edgar's twin brother, who traded the throne for his own freedom..."}}
 
* [[Action Commands]]: His Blitz/Deathblow attacks require controller inputs, but you can't use them until you've actually learned them in-game.
Line 184:
* [[Duel Boss]]: After Vargas blows everyone except Sabin away, it becomes Sabin vs. Vargas.
* [[Got Me Doing It]]: After having a hard time trying to instruct Cyan on how to operate the Magitek armor:
{{quote| '''Sabin''': Thou art such a pain in the...! Confound it all! I'm starting to talk like you!}}
** In the GBA version:
{{quote| '''Sabin:''' Oh, for...! Thou art getting to be quite a pain in the-- Great, now I'm even starting to talk like you!}}
* [[Holy Hand Grenade]]: Sabin's [[Kamehame Hadoken|Aura Bolt]] Blitz does Holy elemental damage.
* [[Informed Deformity]]: After a flashback to Edgar and Sabin as children, the person telling the story comments that at that time Sabin was small - even smaller than Edgar. However, the flashback used the same sprites as the rest of the game, when Sabin is a very large bodybuilder.
Line 196:
* [[Load-Bearing Hero]]: Two examples: When he holds up the collapsing house so that Celes can save the child trapped inside, and during the ending, when he saves his brother from some collapsing junk.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]
{{quote| '''Sabin:''' "I told you before... My name is NOT 'Mr. Thou'!"}}
* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]
* [[Razor Wind]]: One of his Blitzes.
Line 217:
セリス・シェール<br /><small>Serisu Shēru</small>
 
{{quote| "Product of genetic engineering, battle-hardened Magitek Knight with a spirit as pure as snow..."}}
 
* [[Action Girl]]: She was an Imperial General, you know.
Line 250:
* [[Identical Stranger]]: Celes and Maria.
* [[I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder]]: Twice.
{{quote| "I'm a ''general'', not some love-starved twit!"}}
* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]
* [[Lady of War]]: She's entirely capable of being a melee character and succeeding quite well at it.
Line 282:
シャドウ {{spoiler|(クライド)}}<br /><small>Shadou {{spoiler|(Kuraido)}}</small>
 
{{quote| "He owes allegiance to no one, and will do anything for money. He comes and goes like the wind..."}}
 
* [[Badass]] [[Ninja]]: Including many of the abilities that usually come along with that class in the series, such as throwing weapons.
Line 314:
* [[Shoo the Dog]]: {{spoiler|He stays behind in the collapsing tower at the end, but doesn't want to drag Interceptor into it.}}
* [[The Stoic]]: Shadow hardly says anything during the game and very rarely, if ever, shows any emotion.
{{quote| '''Shadow:''' "There are people in this world who have chosen to kill their own emotions. Remember that."}}
* [[Temporary Scrappy]]: He's an obligatory party member on the Floating Continent, which features the most powerful monsters in the game up to that point. However he's never been a part of the party since Zozo so he hasn't had time to learn magic. Unless you go out of your way to teach him some before going to Thamasa during the ''very'' short sequence he joins up prior he's going to have no magic, and if you didn't know he was going to reappear you probably don't have equipment for him to wear either.
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: If you're not immediately scared off by him.
Line 323:
カイエン・ガラモンド<br /><small>Kaien Garamondo</small>
 
{{quote| "Faithful retainer to his family's liege, with the courage and strength of a hundred men..."}}
 
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Cyan's [[Sword Techs]] may seem impressive, but it takes so long for the gauge to fill up that it isn't really worth it; by the time the [[Sword Tech]] gauge fills up, your other three characters will likely have been standing around for a good 3-4 seconds when they could have been told to do something else.
Line 362:
ガウ<br /><small>Gau</small>
 
{{quote| "Draped in monster hides, eyes shining with intelligence, a youth surviving against all odds..."}}
 
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Being able to survive in a fierce wilderness and kick the ass of monsters bigger than you since you were barely old enough to walk should qualify anyone as this.
Line 394:
セッツァー・ギャッビアーニ<br /><small>Settsā Gyabbiāni</small>
 
{{quote| "A blackjack-playing, world-traveling, casino-dwelling free spirit..."}}
 
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "My life is a chip in your pile. Ante up!"
Line 421:
ストラゴス・マゴス<br /><small>Sutoragosu Magosu</small>
 
{{quote| "An elderly gentleman, pure of heart, and learned in the ways of monsters..."}}
 
* [[Badass Grandpa]]
Line 442:
リルム・アローニィ<br /><small>Rirumu Arōnī</small>
 
{{quote| "In her pictures she captures everything: forests, water, light, the very essence of life..."}}
 
* [[Art Attacker]]: Relm has the "Sketch" ability which lets her use the target monster's special abilities.
Line 477:
モグ<br /><small>Mogu</small>
 
{{quote| "Human-loving, fast-talking, street-smart, SLAM-dancing Moogle..."}}
 
* [[Badass Adorable]]
Line 503:
ウーマロ<br /><small>Ūmaro</small>
 
{{quote| "Admirer of bone-carvings, as strong as a gigas, a sasquatch pal with muscle!"}}
 
* [[Badass]]
Line 524:
ゴゴ<br /><small>Gogo</small>
 
{{quote| "Shrouded in odd clothing, ...is this a man...? ...a woman...? ...or should we ask...?"}}
 
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]
Line 542:
バナン<br /><small>Banan</small>
 
{{quote| Leader of [[La Résistance|the Returners]].}}
 
* [[Badass Preacher]]: His class in the GBA version is "Oracle", and he heals the party by praying.
Line 558:
レオ・クリストフ<br /><small>Reo Kurisutofu</small>
 
{{quote| An elite soldier in the Vector Imperial Army.}}
 
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: He's actually supposed to be black. Although you can blame the sprites for making him look more caucasian and, in the status artwork, tan at best. (Plus, the fact that his hair is ''blonde'')
Line 581:
 
=== ????? (The Ghost) ===
{{quote| A spectre encountered aboard the Phantom Train, for some reason he wants to come with the party but bows out before they get to the front of the train.}}
 
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: The Super NES release referred to the Ghost as an "it", but the Advance remake uses male terminology.
Line 593:
 
=== Biggs and Wedge ===
{{quote| Two soldiers sent with Terra to attack Narshe, they're promptly destroyed when Valigarmanda stirs}}
 
* [[Killed Off for Real]]
Line 606:
シド・デル・ノルテ・マルケズ<br /><small>Shido Deru Norute Marukezu</small>
 
{{quote| Head scientist of the empire and the caretaker of Celes. Only gets one overlooked airship scene this time.}}
 
* [[The Caretaker]]: Cid to Celes.
Line 618:
ジュン<br /><small>Jun</small>
 
{{quote| A key Returner operative living in Narshe.}}
 
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Possibly because his original name was [[Aerith and Bob|oddly Japanese]].
Line 627:
ダンカン・ハーコート<br /><small>Dankan Hākōto</small>
 
{{quote| A martial arts master living near Figaro, he's Sabin and Vargas's mentor.}}
 
* [[Badass Grandpa]]
Line 640:
ダリル<br /><small>Dariru</small>
 
{{quote| Setzer's rival, she's the captain of the ''Falcon'', or was until it crashed.}}
 
* [[Cool Airship]]
Line 653:
ジークフリード<br /><small>Jīkufurīto</small>
 
{{quote| A travelling swordsman who pops up periodically.}}
 
* [[Badass Cape]]
Line 664:
マディン　と　マドリーヌ<br /><small>Madin to Madorīnu</small>
 
{{quote| Terra's parents, Maduin was the guardian of the gateway to the Esper World. Somehow Madeline found her way there, and the two fell in love and had a child to see if their two races could truly co-exist.}}
 
* [[Beast and Beauty]]
Line 680:
 
[[File:kefka_portrait.png|frame]]
{{quote| The main antagonist of the game who arguably steals the show, to the point that he's the only character in the game who has his own [[Wikipedia]] page.}}
 
* [[A God Am I]]: Notably the first ([[Follow the Leader|though hardly the last]]) ''Final Fantasy'' villain to seek out godhood, and one of the few to achieve it when he absorbs the power of the Warring Triad.
Line 689:
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: Was this even before becoming a god.
* [[Badass Boast]]:
{{quote| '''Kefka:''' "Life... dreams... hope... Where'd they come from? And where are they headed? These things... I am going to destroy!" ''([[Laughing Mad|hysterical insane laughter]])''}}
** Alternatively:
{{quote| '''Kefka:''' "Life... dreams... hope... Where do they come from? And where do they go...? Such meaningless things... I'll destroy them all!" ''([[Laughing Mad|hysterical insane laughter]])''}}
** There's also his line when charging Goner/Forsaken:
*** SNES/PSX version:
{{quote| '''Kefka:''' The end comes... Beyond chaos...}}
*** In the GBA remake:
{{quote| '''Kefka:''' The end draws near...}}
* [[Bad Boss]]: Especially when compared to [[A Father to His Men|General Leo.]]
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: Despite his clownish appearance and comical behavior, he is still a very dangerous character and a grave threat.
Line 757:
* [[Load-Bearing Boss]]: Defeating Kefka not only causes his tower to collapse, but seems to herald the rebirth of the planet's ecosystem.
* [[Loves the Sound of Screaming]]: When he poisons Doma. Also a ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[Shout-Out]].
{{quote| '''Kefka:''' Hee-hee! Nothing beats the music of hundreds of voices screaming in unison! Uwee-hee-hee! ''(dumps poison in Doma's water supply)''}}
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Probably, seeing how it was heavily implied that he was the one who invented Terra's Slave Crown.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Aside from his first name bearing similarity to [[Franz Kafka]], Kefka's last name, Palazzo, is Italian in origin that means palace, mansion, and/or castle, and also sounds very similar to Basque ''pailazo'', Catalan ''pallasso'', Greek ''paliatsos'', Italian ''pagliaccio'', Portuguese ''palhaço'', Spanish ''payaso'' and Turkish ''palyaço'', which all translate to "clown," and his appearance pretty much makes it clear that the similar names are very fitting.
Line 766:
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: How he {{spoiler|murdered General Leo}}.
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: While he really starts being this only after destroying the world, you still gotta admit that when taking everything else that Kefka was into consideration, this REALLY wasn't something that boded well for the World of Balance... OR the World of Ruin for that matter.
{{quote| '''Kefka Palazzo:''' Why do people insist on creating things that will inevitably be destroyed? Why do people cling to life knowing that they must someday die? Knowing that none of it will have meant anything once they do?}}
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Sort of.
* [[Orcus on His Throne]]: To his credit though, he probably doesn't even need to move from his chamber to destroy the party, but where's the fun in that?
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Technically, ''six'' winged angel.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]
{{quote| '''Kefka:''' What's the fun in destruction if no precious lives are lost?}}
* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]
* [[Pieta Plagiarism]]: The third tier of the final battle... And when you see Kefka in place of Jesus on the pietà, you simply have to face the facts: The world is fucked, and if you want a savior, you'll have to be the one yourself.
Line 809:
ガストラ<br /><small>Gasutora</small>
 
{{quote| Leader of the Empire with grand ambitions and a batshit-insane [[The Dragon|Dragon.]]}}
 
* [[Bodyguard Betrayal]]: Gestahl appears with Kefka thoroughly on his side on the Floating Continent. And then Kefka must show them the meaning of power...
Line 834:
 
=== The Warring Triad ===
{{quote| Three ancient gods that effectively created magic as it is now known, they created the Espers in the crossfire of their feuding but turned themselves to stone when they realized the struggle was destroying the world. They are named Demon, Fiend, and Goddess.}}
 
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Demon
Line 859:
 
=== The Eight Dragons ===
{{quote| Eight ancient and powerful dragons sealed in the earth, they were unleashed when Kefka moved the Warring Triad out of alignment. They reappear in the ''Advance'' bonus dungeon Dragons' Den with their boss, Kaiser Dragon.}}
 
* [[Actually Four Mooks]]: The reborn Ice Dragon appears as a group of four, but their sprites overlay on top of each other so you can't pick out a specific one to target.
Line 865:
** [[Loophole Abuse]]: Turns out Wave Cannon and Plasma [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|aren't classified as magic]]. Fortunately you can do the same with Strago's Lores.
* [[Badass Boast]]: Kaiser Dragon's greeting to the party when the player finds him.
{{quote| "[[Puny Humans|Humans]] and your insatiable greed... [[Humans Are Bastards|Your lust for power leads always to a lust for blood]]... This place is a sanctuary for wayward souls... What business have you filthy creatures here? [[What the Hell, Hero?|You slaughter my brethren, and befoul their rest with the profanity of your continued existence]]... You should not have come here. In the name of all dragonkind, I shall grant you the death you desire. I am the dealer of destruction... I am the font from which fear springs... [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|I am Kaiser]]... [[Prepare to Die|And your time is at an end]]."}}
* [[Barrier Change Boss]]: Kaiser Dragon.
* [[The Berserker]]: The reborn Earth Dragon eventually enters an [[Unstoppable Rage]] and starts attacking you four times every turn.
Line 912:
オルトロス<br /><small>Orutorosu</small>
 
{{quote| A recurring octopus boss with a fondness for [[Incredibly Lame Pun|bad jokes]]. Sometimes seen with his dumb monster partner, a wind beast named Chupon/Typhon. For more info on his appearances in spin-offs, see [[Final Fantasy/Characters/Recurring Characters|the Recurring Character sheet]].}}
 
* [[Boss Banter]]
Line 935:
バルガス・ハーコート<br /><small>Barugasu Hākōto</small>
 
{{quote| Rival of Sabin, that trained with the same master, his father Duncan.}}
 
* [[Deceptive Disciple]]
Line 950:
=== Ramuh ===
 
{{quote| An Esper living in the human realm, he calls Terra to him when her powers awaken.}}
 
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Unless you happened to be Bahamut or Odin, before this game you didn't get a lot of character exploration if you were a summon, and Ramuh was no exception. This time, aside from Valigarmanda/Tritoch and Maduin, Ramuh could be considered ''the'' most plot-important Esper in the game.
Line 960:
=== The Elder ===
 
{{quote| The leader of the Esper Realm.}}
 
* [[Everybody Calls Him Barkeep]]
Line 969:
=== Valigarmanda/Tritoch ===
 
{{quote| The frozen Esper excavated in Narshe that kickstarts the plot of the game.}}
 
* [[Aborted Arc]]: Once the Returners try to wake it up, they forget about it for the rest of the game. Justified seeing as how trying to do that turned out to be a really bad idea the first time.
