Star Ocean: Till the End of Time/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Party Members

Fayt Leingod

Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi (JP), Steve Staley (EN)

The main character of the game. Fayt Leingod is a laid-back teen who enjoys his time with his family and friends, especially Sophia. All goes wrong once an alien invasion attacks the resort planet he, his family, and Sophia were staying at. From there, they are all separated when escaping to different places of the galaxy. Fayt now has to fend off for himself in hopes to find his family, except that he finds out eventually that he carries one of the three powers to save the universe from a much bigger threat, his power being Destruction.

For being recently introduced into an adventure, Fayt is a skilled swordsman thanks to playing virtual reality games a lot.

  • Awesome McCoolname
  • Cursed with Awesome: He possesses the power of Destruction, which allows the party to use their battle skills and magic in the 4D world. As a bonus, his power manifests in his ultimate battle skill "Ethereal Blast"...
  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Mr. Fanservice
  • Heroes Prefer Swords: Justified by the surroundings and being an RPG character.
  • Heroic BSOD: His calm behavior gets utterly shattered when he realizes that he was the main target for an alien invasion that killed thousands of people at the resort planet he was visiting with his family and childhood friend, chased him down on an escape ship, and interrupted a war between two nations where a friend of his was killed off. AFTER THAT, his friend's girlfriend dies in his deathbed right in front of his eyes. Yeah, Fayt didn't certainly wait for any of this to happen.
  • Person of Mass Destruction
  • Power Strain Blackout: Fayt faints after activating his genetic Symbology ability Destruction for the first time. He also suffers some temporary memory loss from the event, indicating that it was especially psychologically traumatic.
  • Prophetic Name
  • The Scream: Fayt delivers some screams whenever he is knocked out in battle. But that's not exactly the whole history, since he delivers a big one after Cliff tells him that he was the main target for the Vendeeni. Fayt then realizes all the attacks were done to capture him.
  • You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Sophia Esteed

Voiced by: Atsuko Enomoto (JP), Michelle Ruff (EN)

The main girl though she joins the party late. Sophia has a stereotypical life as any other girl who likes to cook and have fun with his friend Fayt. All changes once she is forced to escape from an alien invasion to a colony in the space and then gets kidnapped midway. Although she's a bit naive to the events around her, Sophia gives her all to help. She has with her one of the three powers to save the universe: Connection.

  • Black Magician Girl
  • Cursed with Awesome: She has the power of Connection, which allows the party to "connect" to the 4D world by breaking through its barriers.
    • Awesome but Impractical: But then again, it barely works perfectly since it was developed in a short time unlike the other two.
  • Magikarp Power: Similarly to Mirage and Peppita, she has to be leveled up quite a bit to catch up with the rest once she joins the party for good. Once she does, though, she's the most versatile magic user in the game.
  • Nice Hat: Gets a pink kitty hat while synthetizing weapons with materials.
  • Moe
  • Naive Everygirl: It is a bit difficult for her to understand what is going on.
  • Supreme Chef: Describes her stereotypical young girl attitude.
  • Unlucky or Victorious Childhood Friend: Depending on the ending and a dash of YMMV.
  • Zettai Ryouiki

Peppita Rossetti

Voiced by: Masayo Kurata (JP), Sherry Lynn (EN)

The circus girl. Peppita travels around the universe with her circus family to entertain people to become a star dancer just like her deceased mother. When Fayt and Sophia meet her, she was about to put up her debut on the stage until the resort planet was invaded by aliens. She briefly assists the duo in two forced fights until they're all separated. Much later, she reunites and assists Fayt in liberating Moonbase and joins the party if the player chooses her. Otherwise, she will remain behind.

  • Action Girl
  • Disappeared Dad: It is told by her that her father abandoned her family, believing that he was a strong soldier fighting for the federation. She never got to meet him. It is theorized that her father might have been Commander Wittcomb judging that he has the same skin color, wears the same earrings, and has books about circuses in his room. Now when you think that he was brutally killed in a dogfight...
  • Dub Name Change: She was Souffle in the Japanese version.
  • Dance Battler
  • Dark-Skinned Blond
  • Genki Girl
  • Improbable Weapon User: Shoes and bangles.
  • Magikarp Power: If chosen for your final party, she joins the group at a low level. However, she has the potential to become the strongest party member if properly leveled to the max.
  • Moe
  • Optional Party Member

Cliff Fittir

Voiced by: Hiroki Tochi (JP), Dave Wittenberg (EN)

The former leader of Quark until lending his place to Maria because of her power of Alteration thinking that she is more fitting for the role. Cliff is the one who abducts Fayt in order to protect him and make sure he doesn't get killed or captured alive. Being a Klausian, Cliff has a big amount of stamina and strength, being able to achieve harder feats than Earthlings can. His partner in crime is Mirage whom Cliff has commented to be as strong as him, possibly because they grew up attending their homeworld's dojo. He acts like an advisor for both Fayt and Maria whenever they are facing trouble, eventually taking a supporting role.


Nel Zelpher

Voiced by: Yuu Asakawa (JP), Wendee Lee (EN)

Nel is one of the residents of the Kingdom of Aquaria of Elicoor II and leader of the Secret Legion, which is charged to gather intelligence to report to the queen. Even though she shows a serious side, her kind heart gets in the way to change the way she performs in her missions no matter how dangerous it is for her even at the cost of her life. She is one of the three residents of Elicoor II that can go with Fayt for the rest of his journey.

Roger S. Huxley

Voiced by: Mari Maruta (JP), Mona Marshall (EN)

A bratty kid Menodix who lives in the Sanmite Republic of Elicoor II. Roger is part of a small band of children band who cheers him on in "Real Men Contests" against the rival group of his hometown, said contests being very ridiculous like stealing a trophy from a dangerous bandit. Albeit really small, Roger doesn't let his size be a problem when facing enemies bigger than him. His biggest dream is to become a real man one day through the tests he is given by his peers. He is one of the three residents of Elicoor II that can join Fayt's journey and in Roger's case, leave him behind without ever meeting him at all.

Cliff: What the- He's got a tail!

  • Puppy Dog Eyes: His method to convince the party to save him from the thief that put him in the cage. Naturally, he gets annoyed too early and drops off his sweet side for his true behavior. (I mean, look at his picture in the page! Don't be fooled by his cutesy look).
  • What Happened To Roger?: Subverted. If Fayt never gets to meet Roger in the story, after the credits, Roger will be given a scene where he is seen crying inside the cage with no hopes of being rescued.
  • Wild Child: One of his costumes.

Maria Traydor

Voiced by: Michiko Neya (JP), Dorothy Elias Fahn (EN)

The young enigmatic and beautiful leader of Quark as told by some. Maria Traydor is the one who commands the entire anti-Federation group because of her power of Alteration; one of the three powers given through experimentation by scientists. Orphaned at a young age, Maria grew up thanks to Cliff and Mirage acting as her guardians. During an incident while on a mission, her genetic powers allowed the crew to escape certain death. From that point onward, she developed an intelligent mind but a rather strong blunt personality while seeking out her origins.

Adray Lasbard

Voiced by: Unsho Ishizuka (JP), Beau Billingslea (EN)

An extra character added to the final version of the game. Adray is Clair's father, a hot blooded Aquarian whom along with Nel's father helped in the growth and foundation of the kingdom. Other than that, he is an adept in Runology and an average fighter. Whenever he gets the chance, he asks any young man he finds to marry his daughter, much for her dismay. He is always sent away to dangerous missions from the kingdom to avoid having him around during diplomatic matters.

Albel Nox

Voiced by: Isshin Chiba (JP), Crispin Freeman (EN)

Leader of the Black Brigade, one of the three brigades of the Kingdom of Airyglyph. Albel is known as "Albel the Wicked", deciding to take no prisoners or survivors from the battles he fights. He acts as an antagonist for the first part of the game until he is forced to join the group in exchange for his deeds. He heavily dislikes working alongside Nel for being an Aquarian. He is one of the three members of Elicoor II that can join Fayt's journey permanently though he can be fought if he didn't show up to save the party in the training facility.

Mirage Koas

Voiced by: Emi Shinohara (JP), Kari Wahlgren (EN)

An extra character for the final version of the game although she was already there. Mirage is the calm and collected partner of Cliff. It is said by Cliff that she is strong enough to hold her own since she is also a Klausian, wishing luck to any unlucky enemy who tries to do harm on her. She happens to be the daughter of a dojo-owner, the same dojo where she and Cliff trained their skills. She also taught Maria how to fight.

Supporting Cast

Clair Lasbard

The leader of the Crimson Blade, Adray Lasbard's daughter, and long-time friend of Nel. She always worries about Nel whenever she disobeys missions due to her kind heart. Clair dislikes a lot that her father asks young men to marry her soon against her wishes.

Ameena

A young girl whom Fayt meets in the Trading Town of Peterny. She looks exactly like Sophia.

Dion Landers

A young man who works for Aquaria's Runological Weapon Development as the Chief Researcher. He is Ameena's childhood friend. The two meet shortly before each one of them dies; Dion dying for substaining injuries during the Vendeeni assault in the war.

  • Tear Jerker: In his last moments, he dies with Ameena beside him. What's so bad about this? Ameena dies at the same time he does.

Blair Lansfeld

One of the creators of the Eternal Sphere.

  • Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right: Aids the main characters against the wishes of her employers because she believes that they have a right to exist.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: As far as the Eternal Sphere inhabitants are concerned, she couldn't be farther in opinion from her brother Luther.

Robert Leingod

The father of Fayt Leingod and a famous researcher at the field of Symbology. He was one of the scientists who experimented on Fayt, Maria, and Sophia when they were young to give them the genetics of Destruction, Alteration, and Connections respectively for the day the 4D beings would attack them.


Villains

The Veendeni

A fish-like race that likes to act alone instead of working with the Pangalactic Federation. Their technology is equally matched with the federation's, but most of it is shrouded in mystery to scientists. Up until now, they started attacking the federation for reasons unknown. The actual reason is to get a hold of Fayt because of his Destruction gene. It turns out they were aware of the existence of 4D Space and what the scientists on Moonbase were doing about it.

  • Fish Eyes: Doesn't help their models' eyes are iddle forever.
  • Fish People: Just look at their pale heads. They don't move a bit!
  • Humanoid Aliens: Again, their pale heads leave this impression.

Luther Lansfeld

The Owner, President and CEO of Sphere, the creator of the Eternal Sphere and the Main Antagonist. He isn't actually seen face to face until the very end, but the impact of his actions affect the entire game's events.

  • Alliterative Name
  • Dub Name Change: He was Lucifer in the Japanese version.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: To be fair, at first he thinks the characters and their universe is just data. So he honestly thinks their grievances with him are justifiably nothing. But when he loses his first battle? He definitely goes a little crazy, if not batshit insane.
  • This Cannot Be!:

Luther Lansfeld:I-I don’t believe it! Data! They’re nothing but data! Why am I-I being
deleted!? Destroyed! Why!? Ahhhhhh!!!"

  • What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Again, he thinks the only reason the Eternal Sphere denizens can think, act for themselves, etc. is because they were programmed to act like the 4D denizens. But then he goes on to say that no matter how thoroughly they might evolve, dataforms have no right to be anything but the playthings of their creators. In case the terminology is distracting you, it translates to "any mortal action other than obeying the whims of the gods is a capital offense".
  • Villainous Breakdown: Before the first fight, Luther acts like a typical company president considering Fayt and co. like something similar to an insubordinate worker. Yet before the second fight, he degrades into maniacal laughter and comes off how "Righteousness Shall Prevail!!"
