Twinkin' Out 34: All GoGO All the Time |
 |
|
Ok, I have a ton and a half of things to talk about so lets get through them quickly and we can make with the funny. First of all, I am shamed that I have yet to mention Combustible Orange. It’s run by a pal of mine and I promised him about half a year ago that I would mention it in my column. So there you go. Better late than never. Also the theater I work at, the Park 11 theaters on 17-92 in Orlando, will be re-releasing the Fellowship of the Ring on March 18th. I’ll keep you posted. Also people should go there now to watch Pirates of the Caribbean. I don’t care if you’ve already seen it, it’s $2.50 and you get to see me.
Also, as I’m sure you can tell from the news posts, I’m playing Final Fantasy 11. I’m currently playing a Red Mage (because I’ve been typecast) called Wagner on the Phoenix server. Find me and say hi. Now to off-set Brian’s rantings about installing the game let me give you my review. It installed quickly and without complaint for me. Within two hours of installing, patching and creating an account I was online and in character creation. This is it’s biggest failing. There is no character creation. You pick your race, your class and your name. you get to choose form 8 different faces for your race and then one of two exciting hair colors. Your stats and server are assigned to you which honestly made my heart break. I felt that the game had failed me personally. Like I gave Square Enix a gun and said, “Now don’t shoot my mom while I’m at the store” and then I come back from the store to see a dead mother and Square Enix looking guilty. If I don’t have customization then it isn’t an RPG to me. If Star Wars Galaxies was in any way a good game I would be all over just for the sheer amount of customization they give you. Anyway, after I got into the game I noticed it ran a lot smoother than the character creation screen. The towns are beautiful even with all the little graphical extras turned off. The character models change depending on what you put on. I know most games do this but only this one and Asheron’s Call ever made it look good. The gameplay is kinda tricky but once you get the hang of it it’s pretty smooth with only a couple of problems. First of all, it’s all keyboard, no mouse. You have to hit the enter key to target something then hit Tab and cycle through the available targets until you find the one you want. That gets annoying when it’s you and three friends fighting a tough monster next to a sign post. Those of you who haven’t played the game yet are looking at that last sentence and saying “Sign post? The fuck?” those of you who have played the game though are saying “Oh yeah, the signposts…” all that aside, I’ve had a ton of fun playing this game. It’s nothing that special as far as these games go, but get a bunch of friends together and it’s pure online bliss. The Tab key aside, the controls are simple, the game is a lot more forgiving about spell interruptions and status effects than other RPGs and the monsters are tough without being impossible. If you’re still on the fence about this purchase I say hold off until City of Heroes or Worlds of Warcraft comes out. To those of you I’ve swayed with this review, I hope to see you on Phoenix.
I got such a huge response to the Gogo thing I’ve decided to dedicate a large portion of this column, as well as this month's twink, to FF6 and the Gogo question. Here’s the twink, it’s more for you complete-ists out there who play RPGs way too long and like getting everything maxed out. Needless to say I haven’t tested this because it would take something like a month of nonstop playing, but for all of you willing to put the time and effort into this, I’m pretty confident that Adam’s twink is on the level.
"Dear Mage of all that is Red:
After reading your column and gaining an understanding of your love for FF6, and having played FF6 from beginning to uber-twink 12 times (uber-twink meaning: after I beat the game, I still play it until I have brought all chars to 99th lvl and have gotten all the treasure/spells/blue magics), I have decided to share some of my super-secret FF6 twinks. Now, these are not normal twinks, these twinks are at the very heart of the inner workings of the universe. Using this system I have created a party that can kill Kefka before he starts his dialogue on the final battle (I'll show you how to do this), and a character that can cast Ice 1 for 9,999 damage.
LIMITATIONS:
First, we must ask ourselves what the purpose of life is. Of course, it is to have the most powerful FF6 characters you can get without decompiling the FF6 ROM. Then we must look at our limiters: The most horrible limiter in FF6 is the 99th level cap, then there is the 9999 hp damage cap, then we have the integer variable limit of 32,768 (and this could hurt your damage rolls unless you have followed my instructions), and finally, we have the byte variable limit of 255 (which limits your maximum stats to 255).
1. 99 LEVEL LIMIT: Because of the 99 level limit, our purpose then is not to have the highest level of characters, but instead to have the most powerful 99th level characters possible. This can be very challenging, and doesn't rely at all on what equipment you're carrying, but instead it relies on what espers you use to build your stats and how you organize your parties.
First of all, commit each party member to a specific stat strength. 99 levels just isn't enough levels to max all your stats. You have to choose one or two for each character. Suggestions: Edgar - Strength and Stamina, Tera - Magic, Locke - Speed, etc.
Then, try not to level up as much as possible. Especially at the beginning. Try to earn the least amount of XP until you find your first esper. Run away from random battles. Try to fight bosses with the minimum amount of levels possible. You'll see why.
Certain espers award you with a stat gain on each level. Without the espers, your characters do not build stats. This is far more important than the spells espers give you. Think of it this way: each time you level a character without an esper on him that gives a stat bonus, it's a wasted level that you can never get back. You
only get 99 levels to boost your stats. Don't waste any of them.
When you get the first batch of espers, you can begin to relax a little bit on your XP building, but still try to be shrewd because the espers later in the game give +2 bonuses.
Meticulously watch each character's experience. Don't ever let a character level up when he's not wearing a stat boosting esper. Make sure that the character is wearing an esper that boosts the stat that you've chosen to be Each time the character is near leveling, replace the esper that the character is wearing with a stat boosting esper of that character's chosen stat strength.
Once you have all the Espers except for Raiden, go to the dinosaur forest (where the Brachiosaur is) and level each character there. Don't get Raiden yet...
Since the speed-building esper comes late in the game, try your hardest to keep Locke low in level until that happens. When you can't help but to level him, give him strength-boosting espers. The Odin Esper is the only esper that gives a speed bonus. Do not do the side quest to upgrade Odin to Raiden until you've maxed out Locke's speed. Trust me, you'll be happy you waited. A super-speedy character is badass. And the reason is the 9,999 damage cap.....
2. 9,999 DAMAGE CAP: The infamous 9,999 damage cap that has followed FF games throughout history gives twinkers a common principle: more attacks are better. One attack at 9,999 damage isn't nearly as cool as two attacks at 7,000 damage. Some attack boosting munchkiness:
Raise Edgar's strength stat to insanity using the earlier esper lesson. He can wield heavy armor and weapons. Give him the Atma Weapon. He will attack and do the damage cap. Give him the Genji glove and then equip him with Excalibur as well. Now he will do two damage capping swings. Give him the Offering also. He will hit four times with each hand for the damage cap, making 8 total slices of damage cappiness. Teach him Quick and Osmose. Using Quick, he can now move twice. Now good old Edgar can make 16 powerful swings, each capping off at 9,999 (for roughly 160,000 damage per round). Use Osmose periodically to recharge your MP.
If you use Cyan, change the combat meter to 'wait'. If the combat style isn't on 'active', then there is no downside to using any of his sword techniques.
On your mage, combine the Gem Box with the Quick spell for 4 spells in one round. If you don't have the Economizer, make your final spell Osmose.
Make Locke speedy by using the above esper lesson. Give him the mug ability, and the Genji Glove. He will naturally act 3 times faster than the enemies, he will mug and on each mug he will attack twice.
On a final note, the 9,999 damage cap is applied to the damage after the initial damage has been calculated. So, your character attacks, then it decides that you did 22,000+ damage, but after that it reduces your damage to 9,999 (supposedly for game play fun... the fools.). This brings us to why the 32,768 integer variable limit can hurt you....
3. THE 32,768 INTEGER VARIABLE LIMIT: Many of the variables used to calculate different things use the integer variable type. This variable type resets to 0 if it exceeds 32,768. I have a Tera that has so much in her Magic stat that the Ultima spell only does between 200 to 300 hps of damage. Why so little? Because the initial
damage exceeded 32,768 before the damage cap was applied and so it reset to 0 and then overflowed by about 300 hps. But, on the other hand, she can do damage-capping hurt with only Ice 1 (or Fire 1 or Bolt 1), so it really matters not. The important lesson is to make sure that you get the Gem Box before you get too high of a Magic
stat so that you can use Ultima and still hurt that boss with it.
4 THE 255 BYTE VARIABLE LIMIT: The stats all use a byte variable type. This has a limit of 255. FF6 (thankfully!) won't let you go over and make it reset to 0. But, while you're planning your characters, chose a secondary stat. If you follow these instructions, you should max out your primary stat around level 70. This leaves roughly 20 - 30 more points for a second stat (40 - 60, if it's a stat with a +2 esper)!! Some stats have a built-in limit that's below 255. Speed is one of them. Watch your stat levels and make sure that you're still gaining points in a stat. Don't let a character level up, assuming that he's gaining points when you've long maxed out on that stat!
BEATING KEFKA BEFORE HE STARTS HIS DIALOGUE: This is the dialogue he says when he first floats down as a big purple angel. This is tricky. You first have to be able to beat him with one character, and in one round. I used Edgar of the 16 attacks of damage-capping. On the top of his strange, tower of bodies, just before Kefka, you must do the final killing blow with one character and then while that is happening, assign your Kefka killing character to cast Quick. The Kefka killer will get into his "ready" pose just as the characters fade out and the screen moves up. Once Kefka floats down and before his dialogue starts, there will be a short moment where battle is happening. This is where your Kefka killer will spring into action. He'll cast Quick and then you can pummel him with your 16 attacks.
Of course, being the Red Mage, you already knew all of this. I was merely telling you in the same way a student would tell his teacher that he has learned, O Great Twinker of Red.
-Adam"
"Vermillion Master of All Things Twinky,
There seems to have been a lot of controversy over the whole 'Who Is Gogo' issue that's been floating around for years. I have a new, excitingly different (gasp) theory on the matter, that actually holds a bit more in-game weight than perhaps even Setzer's flashback.
In the World of Ruin, if you go and get Edgar, you find him as the thief leader Gerad. If you talk to his newly-acquired crew, they talk about their old leader being eaten by something that looked a lot like a Sandworm, which also allowed them to escape the submerged Figaro castle's dungeon. The Zone Eater that you fight to gain Gogo is basically a Sandworm with a different color palette. It makes sense, then, that Gogo could in fact be the old Thief leader. My only real question at this point is why nobody else thought of that.
Grindle, Mercenary Extrodinaire"
 Hey… why didn’t anyone think of that? Add this to the list of suspects then. Next theory?
Most Crimson-mage, twinker of stats, knower of comics, etc., etc., ad infinitum,
First, I would just like to point out that, some weeks ago when you implied that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was meant for 12 year old girls, I think you were somewhat mistaken. I say this because the show, while it did have a posistive female role model hero, also had said hero kicking, jumping, running around, etc, in skirts, and on many occasions, without a bra. That, and the lesbians, and the slew of D&D references, does seem to make it a bit more for male geeks, as well.
That said, on to the main purpose of this, my take on the Gogo debate. Let me begin by pointing out that Gogo could not be an Esper, because Gogo still exists after the Statues are destroyed, and the Espers begin to fade from our world. Nor could Gogo be a Half Esper like Terra, because it was established that Terra was the first
Half-Esper to exist, and there would have been no time for Gogo to mature after the Gate was Unsealed. Therefore, it seems most likely that Gogo is, in fact, Daryl, and that the reason she did not reveal herself to Setzer was...well, there are a variety of reasons. Amnesia comes to mind, as does the possibility of extreme
scarring. That, however, isn't really the core of the theory. Also, someone mentioned that Gogo couldn't be Daryl, because Gogo also appeared in Final Fantasy Five. However, I point out that it is never stated it is the same Gogo. In fact, I believe that the Gogo in five was actually a far descendant of Daryl (possibly by
Setzer) who had been trained throughout the years. And, yes, Gogo-V was descended from GoGo-V!/Daryl. It is my firm belief that each subsequent Final Fantasy (discounting, at the moment, X, and the named one (i.e. Mystical Quest, Legends)) has been a prequel to the one that came before. While I have no undeniable proof,
it does seem to make sense, based on these bits of evidence.
1)In Final Fantays 1-3, there are limited numbers of airships, but more as the game progresses, up to the pinicle of the tecnology, the Red Wings of 4. Know, while it is possible the the airship in 1 was back engineered, it seems to make more sense that the Red Wings were built by back engineering the scattered remains of Setzer's Eagle and Daryl's Falcon. As to the graphics...well, that's just a tech issue on our end. It also makes sense when you extrapolate further back, to Final Fantasy 8 and 9, in which there aren't for a large portion of the game, any proper airships. Instead, in 8, there is the Ragnarok, a space craft, and in 9, while it does have a standard Airship, there are also space craft.
2) In Final Fantasy 1-5, the Summons, if even existent, function differently, as they are based strictly on mp. I believe this is a result of the final events in 6. When the Statues were destroyed, the powers of the Espers were sealed from the human world, and so they began to use the lesser summon spells, and occasionally the
shadow forms of the Greater Epsers (Ramuh, Shiva, Ifrit,for example). Carrying this further, the Red Materia from 7 was the precursor to the materia of 6, as sometime between the two, the Summons became sentient. Carrying further back to 8, the Guardian Forces were dangerous to humans who wielded them, and so a way was found to lock them in the Red Materia, and form the Draw Points into Green materia. And, the Summons from 9 (sorry, drawing a blank on the proper name of them) were the precursor to the GF, when a way was found to free them from the constraints of the human body, and let them join with others.
3)Perhaps the most significant piece of evidence is the original Four Fiends, destroyed in 1. However, they were also present in 9, as is Garland, and Pandemonium Castle...and what is Pandemonium, except for Chaos?
And I could go on, but this is pretty long already, so I'll stop there. Any way, I've not been able to find flaws with my logic, so I leave it to you. If you find a flaw, please, point it out.
Oh, and, just because it's been bugging the Hell out of me (and I know you don't like to do matchups in normal columns, but I pray you'll take one quick one)....who would win win a straight fight, and a vampire killing contest, Buffy or Simon Belmont of Castlevania?
With many thanks for your time,
Lorad Desmos, Priest of Darkness"
We’ll keep Daryl in as a suspect then. As for your other point, that’s a brilliant and well thought out theory. How do you, the readers at home, feel about this prequel theory? Write me and let me know. It makes a lot of sense to me.
"So, who is your favorite SoulCalibur 2 fighter, Mr. Red Mage?
P.S.: There is indeed a unique monster in FF V who looks almost identical to Gogo and gives you the ability to become a Mimic. It is probably not an Esper, or at least not intended to be one, because it has not been
"canonized" into the other games as a summon or similar category of creature (as a Cactrot is, for example). There is also some evidence that points to the probability that it is not Daryl. If Setzer rebuit and buried the Falcon, it means that he found it, along with her remains, in order to call the burial site "Daryl's Tomb". If he had found the ship but not the body, then he probably would not have given that name to the place where he stored the Falcon, and might still hope that she lives. She would also probably have reacted to Setzer's presence when they met, or at least given a scene together at the end.
With the small amount of facts that are given, I hypothesize that Gogo, or the mimic creature, is a unique monster which the creators thought it would be cool to reuse but not just leave it as an encounter, as is the case of the Magic Pot. The same could also apply to Umaro. I could stand corrected on the creature type bit, for I have not played FF IX or X yet. Also, I have heard nothing of the governor theory further than what has been mentioned in your columns."
I’m partial the Kilik [Editor's Note: Really? It seemed to me you were partial to Eating Floor.] You raise an interesting fact about Daryl’s tomb and the airship. We’ll add Monster from FFV to the list as well.
"Dear Mage of the Red Persuasion and possibly Santa Claus in the off season,
I read your initial mockery of the notion of playing games with one's feet a few weeks ago, and I read another reader's response to your comments. Yes, the Power Pad that came with Track and Field was indeed designed for use with the lower section of the body, but the dang thing never seemed to last very long. Long after the days of the Power Pad, there are those of us who still feel the need to play games with our feet. I have devised my own solution to this problem, one that thankfully does not involve DDR. I call it... TOE CALIBUR! Wrap your big and second toes on your left foot around the base of the left analog stick and press the buttons with your right toes. It's great fun! I've gotten perfects!
On a more serious note, it is amazing that the question of Gogo's identity still remains a mystery to this day. However, it saddens me that none of your readers seems to know who this "retired governor" the clues point to seems to be. Well, that man is none other than Adlai Stevenson, former governor of Illinois and twice-failed presidential candidate. Here is some evidence to back up this theory. Keep in mind that I take no credit for finding this information. I'm just passing it along.
1.) "I am always amazed by the resistance offered to progress, even the most inocous progress. Imagine, if you will, jumping from one rickety bridge to another, with blind men running back and forth trying to push you off, and you will have some idea what legislating progress is like. The good news is that if you're pushed off, you can always climb back up and try again."
- from his book ''What I Think''
2.) "I suppose I could wear a hat, but them my teeth would fall out to spite me. I could get false ones, but doubtless then I would get fat just to prove my teeth work. The easiest course is to drape my whole body in robes and shawls and hope no one recognizes my eyes. "
- Commenting about his baldness to an NBC reporter in 1952.
3.) "President Eisenhower continues to amaze me. He appears to be an ungainly and graceless man, but when [senator Robert] Taft makes a move, no matter how ridiculous, Eisenhower copies it with the skill of [French mime] Marcel Merceau. I haven't achieved such levels of mimicry with my own party, but I'm working on it."
4.) "The legislature is a frightening thing. To this day the state capitol building seems to me a beast ready to swallow me up; the very walls and ceilings seem to crush you as you walk through it."
- from his book ''Friends and Enemies'
5.) "Today we are plunged into a battle that is familliar to us. the enemies and the problems are the same. But the terrain is different. The world around us has changed and shifted so much we no longer recognize it."
- Giving a speech at Charlottesville, 1960
6.)Stevenson's ex-wife once wrote a book about him called The Egghead and I. In 1952, one of his campaign slogans was "Stevenson - The Experienced Candidate."
7.)When you first meet Gogo, he says "I have been idle for too long." Possibly reffering to the fact that Stevenson had been dead for 30 years when FF6 came out.
8.) A number of years ago a bill was passed regarding the transfer of funds among government-owned, government-operated (GOGO) laboratories. What was the name of this bill? The STEVENSON-Wydler Act, of course.
Enjoy,
Brian"
There’s nothing I like more than a convergence of probability. There’s a better than average chance that this is a huge coincidence as I can imagine any programmer from Japan knowing that much about a minor American political figure, and more so, personifying him in a game and giving him abilities that reflect his personal views. But! What if I’m wrong? We’ll keep the governor in as a possible, but unlikely, suspect.
"Dear Mr. Mage of Redness,
I probably have a stronger aversion to the idea that Gogo is Daryl than does any other person on this planet. In most cases, when somebody claims that this theory makes sense, I have a very strong urge to belabour them about the head with my louisville slugger.
You, of course, are far too smart and powerful for me to consider such a course of action. Besides the knowledge that you would decimate me, I also have a great deal of respect for you, you being the master of twinking and a fan of FF6 much like myself and my girlfriend.
Very briefly, I shall mention that while I started reading your column after it had already existed for quite awhile, I have read it in its enitrety out of the beauty of having way too much time on my hands. I have always loved your cheap jokes about violence and your running gags about febreze, sunny D, etc., and have written a handful of letters to you, most of which were probably too stupid for you to have ever wanted to put in, because I get moronic sometimes.
Now... Onto the point... My first piece of evidence, I will admit, is rather abstract, but, I think it is still a good piece of evidence. If you look at the picture of Gogo in the player's guide put out by nintendo, you will see that Gogo's physical appearance is masculine in every way. Broad shoulders, a steely glare, and so on. So, unless Gogo is Daryl in drag, (by the way, nice dress, RM), then The second piece of evidence is this: if Gogo is Daryl, I would think they would have put in some more convincing hints. For instance, perhaps Gogo would have acted strangely around Setzer, because even through the amnesia which probably would have been caused by such a crash, I think there might at least be some sort of Deja vu feeling from Setzer, not to mention her Airship.
Another point is that not only do people in-game refer to Gogo as he, but the Nintendo Player's Guide does so as well. I think it can hopefully be agreed that Nintendo's Player's Guides are usually very accurate. I mean,
they list the height, weight, and age of most of the characters, I think they'd probably know the genders as well. To further support Gogo's masculinity, I should like to make the point that he is unable to equip any
of the armor in the game which is unequippable by males (dresses, veils, tiaras, etc.)
Another thing... If Daryl crashed on the island and then was swallowed by zone eater, where did she get those beautiful, elaborate, colorful clothes? I seriously doubt even the most skilled person would have been able to make those with no sewing equipment, not to mention that there's not likely to be a lot of fabric inside a zone eater's stomach.
Also, from whom would Daryl have learned the mimic skill? I don't recall it ever being mentioned that Daryl was a mimic, and once again, being on a deserted island, in the belly of a monster, one is not likely to have access to new knowledge.
Yet another thing... If Gogo is, in fact, Daryl, then who the hell's corpse is in Daryl's tomb? Now, if it were called "Daryl's Monument", I'd accept the idea that it had no corpse within it, but a tomb, by definition, is a
place which houses a dead body.
My final point is this: in the World of Balance, there are no zone eaters on triangle island. Quite obviously, Daryl crashes in the world of balance. There is no way she could have been devoured by zone eater, because there weren't any. I'd assume that the zone eaters probably live underground most of the time, and that the shifting of the world's appearance either moved them nearer to the surface, or moved their underground home to reside directly beneath triangle island.
Now, it could be possible that she crashed in the WoB and was not devoured by the zone eater until the WoR, but this poses two questions:
1. How did she survive the intangirs?
2. If she was simply wandering triangle island in the WoB, then why are you unable to meet her on the surface there?
Many apologies for the rambling and mixed up writing style, and for the fact that this letter is probably much too long.
Respectfully yours,
The FR HRD"
Strong arguments against the Daryl theory. I’m starting to have doubts myself. But it still seems to be a pretty big coincidence that we see an important person in Setzer’s past crashes on the same island where you find a useful secret character. As for where did she find the clothes, well, the zone eater had bridges, goblins, and switches inside him, I would imagine that some fabrics got swallowed too. But perhaps not.
"Dear First Video Game Bishounen Ever,
1) I was running a 3rd edition D&D Campaign a while back, and I noticed something. My friends weren't so much in to twinking out there characters as they were into trying and failing to do so. The party consisted of two paladins, a cleric, a sorcerer, a thief, and a monk. What happened was that the cleric, sorcerer, rogue, and to a lesser extent, the monk, began to suck in comparison to the greatsword-wielding paladins. We had to start over because no matter what was thrown at them, they all died except the paladins, who thoroughly destroyed their enemies with their, y'know, four greatsword attacks. I'm looking for a way to counter this in our new game, which features a fighter, a barbarian, a bard, a rogue, and a monk, but I have a feeling the fighter and barbarian (and possibly the monk) are going to totally walk over the other 3...any ideas?
2) And Gogo could not have been an esper, as ass-parade suggested. The espers all died at the end, but in the last shot of the party on the airship, you see gogo standing at the aft for just an instant (the aft was off-screen until the ship zips off).
3) In the player's handbook (or was it the DMG?) it mentions non-adventurer classes--aristocrat, expert, commoner, adept, and merchant. Have you ever tried making a party of zeroes and see how far they get? I always thought that'd be interesting...
--Koji...and Durahan too."
1. Limit the weapons they can take at character creation and be stingy with new sword-type weapons for a while.
2. And another argument against him being an esper.
3. the Side Quest kids are running that exact game right now. Sadly I work and thus cannot play but I hear it’s working out well and is lots of fun.
OK, we’ve heard a lot of different theories and arguments against those theories. Let’s see what we’ve got.
Daryl: Is seen crashing on the island but we assume her body is found by Setzer though we never really see it and Setzer never comes right out and says something like “I can use playing cards against my enemies and here’s the corpse of my dead wife who is not Gogo.”
An Esper: It fits with the over all story of the game and Gogo has an amazing power that certainly seems esper-like. On the other hand he doesn’t blow up with the other espers at the end and Terra is the only half esper… that we know about!
A monster from FFV: Well, they share the same name and appearance, but FFV is conceivably a different, although similar, world. We could just chalk it up to coincidence unless Lorad Desmos’ claim about prequels is true.
The king of thieves: A sandworm would explain why he suddenly traveled hundreds of miles to the triangle island but I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why a king of thieves would be a master mime.
Adlai Stevenson: He does seem strangely connected… but he’s a retired governor and Gogo is a video game character. It’s a big gap to bridge but the man did run for president twice, which more than most of us have done. Who’s to say that he couldn’t posthumously become a video game character if he wanted?
Marcel Marceau: The master mime and thespian. Only he holds the talent to perfectly mimic spells and actions he’s never seen before. But he’s not one of the official suspects so we’ll skip him.
Conclusion: Well, unlike most TV shows dedicated to mysteries, I’m not going to leave you with that lame “We’ll never be sure but we know it probably wasn’t anyone we just mentioned” endings. God, I hate those. I’m going to say that I have a strong gut feeling about him being either a monster from FFV or Daryl. I’ve heard a lot of good arguments from people tonight about it not being Daryl but I’m maybe too set in my ways to change my opinion now and I like the monster theory because that means that Final Fantasy is operating on a really interesting timeline and I like having monster characters in the party.
So I feel like we really accomplished something here today. Can anyone think of any other neat little mysteries in the final fantasy games? The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are the invisible woman in FF1, whom we later meet in person in the remade version so no real mystery there and why did Final Fantasy 8 suck so much? Anyway, I eagerly await the email this column will generate. Till next time!
