It seems our friend Balthier has been released in a clearer pic (than the other one I posted last time). In the other pic, his pouches and belt were a tannish brown, so I figured to use the belts and pouches in the FF12 version of the cosplay. However, in this pic they appear to be white or a really light beige. So now I have to correct those flaws. -Omi

This blog entry is dedicated to Lyn. May your heart be forever at peace. Considering the appropriate holiday, I figured to share a somewhat love song from the FF universe. Originally titled "Elia, Maiden of Water" for FF3, it was later revamped with lyrics for the Final Fantasy Pray under the title "Once You Meet Her". And no one knows it - where she came from, where she is going And once you meet her, you will find that something inside is changing. She's like a rainbow. When she comes up, all are lit up. And when she whispers, you will hear this - "Don't chase after rainbows." High on a hill there's a green meadow. All around it's breezin'. She's smilin'. She'll let them sing angel songs. She's like a fairy when she's trembling, when she's dancing. Just see her rambling. How it's nice to see her to the end. You want some meanings of the life. And go see her. Don't ask her too much. Oh yes, she'll be out of your sight right over. High on a hill there's a green meadow. All around it's breezin'. She's smilin'. She'll let them sing angel songs. Everyone is sad and blue when she is far away. Don't you know it's time to pray she'll be coming soon? And you think you hear her voice ringing from above. And no one knows it - where she came from, where she's going. And once you meet her, maybe you will stay forever young. -Omi

So Balthier is gonna have a role in the upcoming remake of Final Fantasy Tactics on the PSP. So this means I gotta work on a cosplay for this Balthier variation as well. Balthier's role in the game is helping Ramza find his sister. He is also in search of the Cache at Glabados (for those who have beaten FF12, will get this reference). -Omi

This week's character is the well known villian Chaos, who has made a few appearances in FF. Name: Chaos Game: Final Fantasy (and Dawn of Souls), Final Fantasy VII, Dirge of Cerberus, Final Fantasy XII Other Appearances in FF Series: Final Fantasy Unlimited Class: Ultimate Evil (FF1) Other Classifications: Limit Break (FF7), Omega's Squire (DoC), Esper (FF12) Attack: Hurricane (FF12) Chaos first appeared as the main boss of Final Fantasy. He was originally known as Garland, a knight who forges an unholy alliance with the Four Fiends, entering a 2000-year loop which renders him practically immortal. He transforms into Chaos at the end of the game. Chaos then made its second appearance in Final Fantasy VII as the Final Limit Break for Vincent Valentine. Although it didn't serve much purpose in the game, it had a bigger role in Dirge of Cerberus. In Dirge of Cerberus, Chaos is a sentient xenoform of the planet. According to an ancient Cetran tablet, Chaos is "soul wrought of terra corrupt" and "Omega's squire to the lofty heavens". This indicates that Chaos is a harbinger of lifestream and its job is to "scourge the world of all things living, sending them back to the Lifestream" for Omega. When Omega makes its journey to the stars, Chaos is left to remain with the dying planet. The Planet also created a "Protomateria" meant to control Chaos and prolong awaking Omega. Lucrecia finds a way to create Chaos through Vincent using the "Chaos gene". She also implants the Protomateria in him to help him control it. In the end, it is through Chaos that Vincent stops Omega, returning both to the planet. In Final Fantasy: Unlimited, Chaos is in the form of a snotty, fat boy called Earl Tyrant. He is also the king of the fantasy world. When human, he's constantly eating "food", which is really emotions like fear and anger created by his machinations on the main protagonists. He searches out Omega so that he can recombine it and complete his plan to dominate absolutely everything. Earl Tyrant can transform into Chaos as well, which he does so at the end of the anime. In FF12, Chaos is just an Esper. The Clan Primer states that he Vrishabha Ascendant. Tutelary deity of the sacred crystals fasioned by the gods at the time of the Great Making. Created in opposition to Mitron the Chastiser, scion of light. Upon entering the world of Man, he was enveloped in the turmoil rampant there. Lost, he died and was reborn countless times, a walker of life's wheel, eventually to rage against the gods that had so fated him. By sitting in meditation upon the Uneh Pedestal does he clear heart and mind until all that has order and reason and thought is made as nothing. -Omi

So as Schizo and T-Hybrid mentioned in my previous entry, Lego should do something that is Final Fantasy. Now I been brainstorming this, and it could be a fantasy theme placed in the Castle category. Now you will say that Castle, Knights Kingdom, and Vikings is fantasy enough, but it truly isn't. They do not have the magical appeal that Final Fantasy has. And now you will say "Harry Potter has enough magic". Well Harry Potter is no magic. What this theme could be is something that isn't like FFVII, or any of the other futuristic FFs (like VIII, X, XII, XIII, VI) I talking more something with the classic FF feel to it, or maybe a something relative to a spinoff series, like Legend of the Crystal or FF: Unlimited. What a Lego FF would have: - Possible story arc revolving arould the 4 Crystals of Light (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind) - And if they wanna continue the story, involve the 4 Crystals of Dark (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind), which conclude the 8 Crystals of the Earth. - Maybe have one of the big sets be an Airship, with a figure named Cid. - Chocobos - Summmons Just a thought. Of course Lego would have to sign a contract with Square-Enix. -Omi

This week's FF character of the week is Gilgamesh, who makes appearences in quite a few Final Fantasies. Name: Gilgamesh Game: Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI Advance, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XII Class: Lieutenant to Ex-Death (V) Other Classifications: Esper (VI), Guardian Force (VIII), Thief (IX), Pirate (XI), Mark (XII) Attack: Zantetsuken (VIII), Masamune (VIII), Excalibur (VIII), Excalipur (VIII), Ultimate Illusion (XII) Gilgamesh originally appeared in Final Fantasy V, as the right hand to Ex-Death (the main bad guy of the game). Although he is not very bright (as hinted throughout the game), he is a very fierce warrior. You first face him on a a big bridge, hence his own battle theme "Clash on the Big Bridge". Later on in the game, he fights you again with what he believes is the Excalibur, but is actually a phony sword called Excalipoor (later named Excalipur). Due to this foolish move, Ex-Death exiled him to the Rift. Near the end of the game, Gilgamesh becomes friends with the party and helps you defeat Necrophobia. Gilgamesh returned to the series in Final Fantasy VIII as a Guardian Force. During the final battle with Seifer, Odin appears but is defeated by Seifer. Odin's sword is flung into the heavens and apparently pierces the Rift that contains Gilgamesh. With Odin's sword, the Zantetsuken, he takes out Seifer. Gilgamesh then replaces Odin as a Guardian Force. In Final Fantasy IX, Gilgamesh was apparently a "Master Treasure Hunter", but is nothing more than a common thief. He goes under the alias Alleyway Jack, and awards Zidane the S Rank Medal. He also makes an appearence in Final Fantasy XI as a king of pirates, however this form is more human, and shares nothing similar to his previous incarnations. In Final Fantasy XII, Gilgamesh is a mark that has to be claimed. In the game, he is after the Masamune to complete his sword collection. His collection includes many swords from various FF games, such as: - Cloud's Buster Sword from FF7 - Squall's Gunblade from FF8 - Zidane's Orichalcon from FF9 - Tidus's Brotherhood from FF10 - Odin's Zantetsuken - Excalibur from FF5 - Excalipur from FF5 - Loto's Wyrm Hero Blade from Dragon Quest He uses these swords during the battle with him in the game. Also when fighting him, a remixed version of "Clash on the Big Bridge" plays, and coincidentally enough, you first meet him on a bridge in FF12. His attack is "Ultimate Illusion", which is synonymous to "Final Fantasy". The Clan Primer in FF12 states Gilgamesh as "An ancient Man of Mystery, traveling the Dimensions with his lone companion, Enkidu, in search of a legendary Sword. It is said he confronts all Adventurers he meets and challenges them for their Weapons. Each of his six arms bears a weapon of great fame, yet there is no evidence that any are the genuine Article. Petitioned as a Mark by a Swordsman bereft of his beloved Blade." Gilgamesh was also in Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls as a boss in the bonus dungeon, and is also a new Esper for Final Fantasy VI Advanced. -Omi

So I got myself the Final Fantasy: Unlimited DVD collection, which has all 25 episodes. Started watching it, not to shabby, kinda corny. For those who don't know, FF: Unlimited was an anime show in late 2001 that was based in a fantasy world. Though not strongly connected to the games, it had FF elements, such as summons, Chocobo, and Chaos. Summons look weird. First episode had Leviathan and Bahamut duke it out. They knocked each other out. Cuz the King of Summons ais no match for the God of Summons, and vice versa. -Omi

I have a goal, and it is to have a super ultimate Final Fantasy collection. Now I am not talking about everything that is FF, but mainly just a collection in general. Now what I mean is I want every game, DVD, CD, whatever is out there. Basically for games, all I have are these guys: Now you would say "zomg Omi you gots like all of them", but on the contrary, I don't. What is missing from this collection are: Final Fantasy X-2 (yes I know it sucks, but it is needed) Final Fantasy XI (the original and expansions) Crystal Chronicles Final Fantasy Tactics Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Vagrant Story Final Fantasy Chronicles (IV and Chrono Trigger) Chrono Cross Final Fantasy Origins (I and II) Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis I would get into the old school games, as well as FF Legend 1, 2, and 3, plus FF Adventure, but I don't need them. And then the upcoming games: Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers Final Fantasy XIII Final Fantasy Versus XIII Final Fantasy Agito XIII Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings And for each Final Fantasy, I also want to complete its music. So far the series I have completed in games and music are: FFVIII FFIX The ones in near completion: FFIII FFIV FFVIII FFX FFXII -Omi

Yeah it has been awhile. This time we have the summon Shiva, from several Final Fantasies. Name: Shiva Game: Final Fantasy III-XII, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Class: Summon Other Classifications: Esper (FF6), Guardian Force (FF8), Eidolon (FF9), Aeon (FF10 and X-2), Avatar (FF11), Airship (FF12) Attack: Diamond Dust (All games); Heavenly Strike (FF10) Shiva made her first appearance in Final Fantasy III, which introduced the new system of Summoning Magic. Since she represents Ice, she is considered the Goddess or Maiden of Ice throughout the FF series, and is placed in opposition to that of Ifrit, the demonic Summon of Fire. Although it is never mentioned in the FF series, but only hinted in FF8, it can be said that Shiva and Ifrit have had their rivalry which probably led to many fights with each other. Shiva can be learned in a variety of ways in the FF series. In FF3, she is learned through the Summon spell Icen. In FF4, she is automatically learned when Rydia (summoner) rejoins your party. In FF5, Shiva resides under Walz Castle and must be defeated in order for you to summon her. In FF6 she joins your team through the means of Magicite, at the same time with Ifrit. In FF7, you acquire her as a Materia from Priscilla in the town of Junon. FF8 she is in your Tutorial and can be drawn from there. In FF9, she can be learned from the gemstone Opal. In FF10, she is the Aeon in Macalania Temple. Although she can't be summoned in FFX-2, she can be fought as a boss in the Farplane. Although Shiva was not a summon in FF12, she makes a reprisal as an Airship (as seen above). According to the Clan Primer in FF12, The Shiva: No. 1 Light Cruiser Class Airship belonging to the 8th Fleet of the Archadian Imperial Army. Ordered to return to Rabanastre after the nethicite fragment known as the "Dawn Shard" was recovered, but sank in an explosion thought to have been caused by the relic before she could make port. Shiva, as a summon, was replaced by the Esper Mateus in FF12. -Omi

Finally finished up Final Fantasy XII. Kinda rushed through it, but oh well. I tend to do that. Now when Christmas vacation comes around, I will be replaying it to get 100% on it. That means fully leveled, license boards filled, all legendary weapons found, and every summon as well. Sounds tough, but I love a challenge. So yay! But I still gotta finish FF3 and FF5. >< -Omi

Just wanted to update you guys on the outfit. So far I have the shoes, belts, shirt, and pants. The vest is being custom made for me (and only me, since it is my sizes only). The gun will take me awhile, since my plan is to buy a few flintlocks, take them apart and piece them back together into Balthier's Altair (the gun, dur). And once I get everything, I head to the barber (to ruin my hair forever with blonde highlights) for the event that the outfit shall be debuted. -Omi

This week's character is the summon Alexander from FF6-FF9. Name: Alexander Game: Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII, IX Class: Summon Other Classifications: Esper (FF6), Guardian Force (FF8), Eidolon (FF9) Attack: Judgment (FF6, FF7); Holy Judgement (FF8, FF9) Alexander first debuted in Final Fantasy VI as an Esper (summon) that can be called upon in battle to perform its attack called Judgement, and later on to Holy Judgement. Alexander is seen as a huge tank-like being with 4-cylinder legs. His attack can vary in looks, usually it is shown has holy missiles being fired from cannons opened up on his sides. In FF7 he can be obtained in materia form in the Northern Glacier, and in FF8 he can be drawn from Sorceress Edea (in battle). He was not obtainable in FF9. Alexander is known as the Holy Summon, because his attack deals out holy damage (holy being powerful white magic). In FF9, he has a key role of being the All-Powerful Holy Eidolon, and was deemed to be more powerful than the Dragon King Summon Bahamut, who was the king of summons. He had a more ancient look, like a castle, but still keeping the tank look. He was also given angel wings (cuz he was holy). He used his wings to perform his attack during the epic battle against Bahamut (as seen in pic). However Alexander's role was cut short, because he was destroyed by Garland through the use of the Invincible. Alexander doesn't have much of a backstory in Final Fantasy, but in FF9 he was called forth before to thwart to power of Necron, the Eidolon of Death. This is only referred to as a "long ago" story in the game. Necron is also the final boss of FF9. -Omi

This week's FF character of the week is Sephiroth, one of the main antagonists of the FF7 Compilation Name: Sephiroth Other Names: Bizzaro Sephiroth (boss fight); Safer Sephiroth (boss fight) Game: Final Fantasy VII Other Appearences (in FF series): Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, Last Order Class: SOLDIER First Class Birthplace: Nibelheim Hometown: ? For starters, Sephiroth is a complete whackjob. He was the product of an experiment performed by Professor Hojo (a bigger whackjob), and also the offspring of Hojo and Dr. Lucrecia Crescent. The experiment involved using the cells of an alien lifeform called Jenova. Jenova came to the planet around 2000 years ago, and was believed to be an Ancient (Cetra), which was a race of humans who had powers connected to the planet and white magic. However it was proven to be false, because Jenova was a calamity, and wiped out most of the Cetra with a disease. The survivors became immune to it and lived on, some becoming regular humans. Anyways, both Hojo and Lucrecia were injected with the Jenova cells, and later Sephiroth was to as well during Lucrecia’s pregnancy. The cells evolved Sephiroth into a “super human”, possessing qualities that a normal human can’t. The Jenova cells slowly ate away at Lucrecria, and later died. Hojo lived on. Sephiroth was never told of the truth of his origin, and was only told that his mother was Jenova During Sephiroth’s career he was in SOLDIER, which was an elite military force, and he rose through the ranks quickly to First Class. After the war (which is mentioned quite a few times in the game), Sephiroth and another SOLDIER Zack were sent to Nibelheim to check out a problem with the reactor. Cloud Strife was also along with them as a regular grunt. During this mission, Sephiroth found a specimen labeled “Jenova”. Sephiroth says that was his mother’s name, and suddenly realized the truth of his origin. He locked himself deep within Shinra Mansion and read the research files on the Jenova Project, along with other files about the Cetra and planet. The more he read, the more his hatred for the planet grew. When he left the mansion, Sephiroth spazzed out on the town, killing everyone in his path and burning the town down as well. After his little temper tantrum, he went to the reactor to get his mother. Zack caught up with him there, and had a brief skirmish with Sephiroth. Sephiroth totally owned Zack. Cloud managed to get there and caught Sephiroth off guard by impaling him with the Buster Sword (which was Zack’s). Sephiroth soon got up and took Jenova’s head. Cloud tried to stop him, but Sephiroth just impaled him twice with his sword. Cloud gathered his strength and threw Sephiroth off the ledge, and he fell into the Mako energy deep below. During the course of 5 years, Sephiroth traveled through the Lifestream and gained the knowledge of the Cetra and other dead spirits, and ended up at the Northern Crater (where Jenova crash-landed many years before). Using his enhanced mental powers, Sephiroth made projected copies of himself using Jenova cells (which explains why they can float and go through walls in the game). Cloud and the gang don’t officially meet Sephiroth until the end of the game. His appearances in the game were not him. Sephiroth’s plan was to control the hosts of Jenova cells, which were ex-members of SOLDIER. They were given the mission to seek out the Black Materia, which can summon the most powerful black magic Meteor. His plan with Meteor was to create a scar in the planet, and he would be in the middle gaining the Lifestream to heal the scar. With all the energy in him, he will become a new god. He succeeds in gaining the Black Materia when he took control of Cloud and had him and the team to do the dirty work. Sephiroth summoned Meteor, and the only way to stop it was the white magic Holy. When Sephiroth is met at the end of the game, his appearance is a larval form called Bizzaro Sephiroth (which is what he turned into over the 5 years). He then takes another form after this, which is basically his final form known as Safer Sephiroth. This is where he gets the title “One-Winged Angel”, since his right arm becomes a wing. He also has his own theme music during this battle, which is called One Winged Angel. Sephiroth also has one more final appearance, which is when Cloud passes out and has to face off against Sephiroth alone in his mind. Cloud finishes him with Omnislash. Sephiroth dies, and not too long after that, Meteor is destroyed by the Lifestream. 2 years after Meteorfall (the events of Advent Children), Sephiroth makes one more appearance, of which 3 remnants of Jenova performs a Jenova Reunion to bring back Sephiroth. This time, Sephiroth’s plan was to use the planet as a vessel in the universe. Cloud defeats him once more with Omnislash. In Dirge of Cerberus, Sephiroth is only seen in a small flashback (which is the vision of Nibilheim’s destruction), and is also mentioned by Wiess at the end. Sephiroth's weapon is the Masamune and his Limit Break is Supernova, which he summons a huge comet that hits the sun, causing a supernova blast that hits the earth. Dunno why he didn't use that for his plans.

Since I didn't have one last week (college gets in the way), I wanted to make sure not to skip this week. So without further ado I bring you Balthier of FF12, in honor of FF12's American release. Name: Balthier Bunanza Game: Final Fantasy XII Class: Sky Pirate Balthier is a sky pirate, or in common terms a "thief". A man of wit and charm, he roams the skies of Ivalice freely, and out of war, with his friend Fran, a Viera warrior. He desribes himself as a noble thief, one that steals from those who truly deserve it. He owns the airship Strahl. Balthier is the son of Dr. Cidolfus Dem Bunanza, Archadia's chief researcher who leads their study of Nethicite. Problems arose between them prior to the game which gives Balthier his resentment towards him. He was also being forced to become a judge due to the research. Despite FF12's License system of using any weapon, Balthier's true weapon is a gun which thus places him in the gunner class of Final Fantasy. His Quickenings (Limit Breaks) are Fires of War, Tides of Fate, and Element of Treachery. -Omi

Yeah a little late. Oops. This week's character is Seifer from FF8. Name: Seifer Almasy Game: Final Fantasy VIII Class: Balamb Garden Cadet (beginning); Sorceress' Knight (Later) Birthplace: Unknown Hometown: Balamb Garden Seifer is the rival to the main protagonist Squall Leonhart. Like Squall, he also wields a gunblade, and a scar across his face (which was caused by Squall. Squall has a scar on his face from Seifer). Seifer is also stubborn, arrogant, and reckless. Seifer grew up with the rest of the FF8 team (minus Rinoa) at the orphanage looked after by Matron (which was Sorceress Edea). Around the age of 7, he was enrolled at Balamb Garden to train to become a SeeD (which is like a soldier). The whole he was there, he was always getting on Squall's case. Their constant fighting led to a brutal fight, or training (which is seen in the beginning). Both struck blows at each other leaving a scar. He has taken the SeeD exam multiple times and failed it multiple times, due to always failing to obey orders. Seifer can be played as a character for a brief period in the beginning of the game. He eventually leaves Balamb Garden to attack Vinzer Deling, President of Galbadia. It is also said that Seifer was executed soon after. However turns out he pledged allegiance to Sorceress Edea (who is Ultimecia) and became her Knight. Seifer is then positioned as the "leader" of Galbadia and leads a battle against Balamb Garden (he also gives the command to nuke the Garden first, along with Trabia Garden) After failing to protect the sorceress, he is then deemed as a failure by Ultimecia, however she gives him one last order, which is dig up the Lunatic Pandora. When the final battle in the Lunatic Pandora starts, Seifer is no longer seen until the end of the game, which gives a hint that he has become a good guy. Seifer has 2 good friends, who are really his only friends. They are Raijin and Fujin. The 3 make up the Balamb Garden Disciplinary Committee. Seifer wields the gunblade Hyperion, and his limit break is the Fire Cross. Also in the game, Seifer takes out the summon Odin, who was attempting to use his Zantetsuken (which is instant KO). However Seifer reverses the attack somehow, and bisects Odin. Odin is later replaced by Gilgamesh. -Omi

FF12 is sooooooooooooooo hard. :angry: I am the Raithwall Tomb. Garuda keeeeeps owning me. -Omi
-
The game is awesome. The license leveling system is coool beans. Gambit system is alright. One thing that ticks me off though is the field battling. I was mad at random battles, but now I want them back. The "random" battles in FF12 really suck IMO, because I have all these guys ganging up on me, and when I flee, they keep chase. So I dropped many bombs of the F variety because of that. -Omi
-
I pre-ordered it. I waited in line hours ago. And now, I am one of the first people to own it on the eastern seaboard. Behold FF12!!!!! Since I am a busy college student, I will be playing it off and on throughout the rest of the semester. I'll write up some review for it. -Omi

This week's FF Character of the Week is Kain from FF4. Name: Kain Highwind Game: Final Fantasy IV Class: Dragoon Birthplace: Baron Hometown: Baron Kain is an excellent warrior just like his friend Cecil. However he was always looked down upon by the King of Baron because he forsook the ways of a Dark Knight and became a Dragon Knight instead, just like his father. Due to this, Cecil always shined over Kain. Kain is also in love with Cecil's babelicious babe, Rosa, but Kain knows he will never have a chance cuz he knows Cecil and Rosa love each other. Kain is a confusing character. He switches sides 4 times throughout the game because he was under the control of Golbez (bad guy). He stays on the good side to the end of the game, but is pretty much left with nothing except the gratification of saving the world. He will always be a rivaling character to Cecil. Kain wields a spear and has a wicked awesome Jump attack, which increases his attack power. -Omi

This is gonna be something new for my blog. I know that most people have not played Final Fantasy, and some have played it, but still blunt about it. However, I will help you learn. Every Sunday I will post a character, whether it is a main or a minor. These sort of bios will include the characters history and stats, and any other special stuff. And even though it is an early Monday, I figured to start it off right now. So without further ado, I bring you the first FF character of the week, Garnet of Final Fantasy IX. Name: Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII Other Names: Dagger (alias); Sara (birth name) Game: Final Fantasy IX Class: White Mage/Summoner Birthplace: Madain Sari Hometown: Alexendria Garnet is originally from the summoner village of Madain Sari, born with the name Sara. However disaster struck her village, and she and her mother Jane escaped in a boat. The boat then made its way to the kingdom of Alexndria. Her mother died sometime between the escape and the arrival in Alexendria. Coincidentally, Sara resembled the real Princess Garnet, who passed away around the same time. To keep the death a secret from everyone, the King and Queen of Alexendria adopted Sara and renamed her Garnet. With the feeling of being imprisoned, Garnet (at the age of sixteen) planned to escape Alexendria. At the same time, a group of theatre actors/bandits had a plan to kidnap her and take her to King Cid Fabool of Lindblum for protection. Things didn't go well as planned, because as soon as they kidnapped her (well they didn't actually kidnap her, since she boarded the ship by choice), and they were immediately attacked by Queen Brahne of Alexendria. She then goes under the alias Dagger, so she can keep herself hidden from those who are looking for her. During the events of Final Fantasy IX, Garnet learns the truth of her heritage, and was claimed to be the last and sole-surviving summoner in the world. This was proven wrong later on, when the group makes their way to the summoner village of Madain Sari (just ruins of it), and meet a 6-year-old summoner named Eiko Carol, who thought she was the last summoner (her grandfather died when she was young). During a battle, Brahne summoned Bahamut to kill Kuja (main enemy of game). Kuja then took control of Bahamut, and slaughtered the soldiers and Brahne. Because of the death of the queen, Garnet was then crowned the queen of Alexendria (still at age 16). On her first day of being a queen, Kuja summons Bahamut and uses him to attack Alexendria. During this attack, Eiko Carol hears the call of a holy eidolon, and literally jumps of the airship coming to rescue it. She floats down to Garnet, and they both summon the holy eidolon, Alexendar. Alexendar lays major ownage on Bahamut, but Kuja uses his airship to kill Alexendar, and Alexendria along with him. After that event, Garnet was so overwhelmed, that she became mute, and couldn't focus on summoning and white magic (which made me really mad and throw down the controller at times when she failed to do her stuff). Later regaining confidence from the main protagonist Zidane, Garnet starts talking and does her magic right. And she continues being queen after the events of the game. Other stuff: Garnet is known for her white magic and summoning. She uses Rods and Rackets as a weapon. And she is my fave female character in the FF series. Enjoy! -Omi
