What makes a Final Fantasy Hero: Part 1.2: Bizarre Origins

I posted this as a joke to friends a long time ago. It was make fun of certain cliches that started to become noticeable with the main characters in the game. One thing I notice is that most of these characters of these mind blowing and strange twists of their origins.

I already did games FF1 to FF13 in the past. I was never into the MMO FF games so be skipping 11 and 14. Since I posted the original articles, I played some of the newer FF games and I be adding the newer games in this entry.
If you want to see, here's the link to my previous articles of the "What makes a Final Fantasy Hero".

Be warned, there are major spoilers in every game I mention throughout the article. So if you haven't played a certain Final Fantasy that you plan to play in the future. Skip the character entry.


From Final Fantasy Type-0 is Class Zero

The world is at war and Rubrum's last line of defense a magical school training child soldiers. Class Zero is a class that was secret to the school itself till they went public at the start of the game.

Ace is normally has the spotlight of the game but really, he gets as much screentime as his classmates. The two new recruits, Machina and Rem get more screentime and character development compared to the others.

So what's their bizarre origin? Well it's not them exactly, it's more of their "Mother".

She was their teacher and mother figure who help trained them till their secret class went public. She help the class to still be able use magic when the Empire used anti-magic field to prevent the entire school to use magic.

In some bonus cutscenes that's only available to view after beating the game, it turns out she's a fal'Cie. She a god-like person whose trying to find the gate to the afterlife and bust it open. She and another fal'Cie who looks like he's in Keyblade armor are competing against one another. He thinks he should wiped out the world's people to bust the gate open. She thinks she should have a small group of powerful warriors to saved the world. This kinda somewhat is tied to FF13 since the villain of that game tried to do the same thing.

World of Final Fantasy has the twins, Lann and Reynn.

They with no memory of their past life, they were sent into the world of Grimoire to collect mirages(basically the FF version of Pokemon) and save the world.

So what was their bizarre origin? Their parents were the peaceful rulers of the world and the twins accidentally caused the world to be in chaos.

They try to lessen their mother's burden of collecting and controlling mirages by opening an extra dimension gate but this caused the game's villain to come out and turn their parents into recurring enemies.

 Final Fantasy 15 has Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum who tried to restore his recently fallen kingdom.

So what was his bizarre origin? Well he's a prophesied dude. The prophesy said someone of the Lucis bloodline will be the one who stopped the endless night and restore light to the world.

By the events on the end of the game, the 4 in the center looked like Noctis and his friends.

(Technically, there other prophesies in the series but the main characters are aware of it and try to become the prophesy. Noctis and the gang were surprised their story was foretold centuries ago near the end of the game.)

Oh and the game's villain is his ancestor's cast off immortal brother who was originally meant to be the founder king but was rejected.
