Has anyone ever noticed that some final fantasy games have glaring lose ends? My favorite FF game is FF6. Here are some of the loose ends that were never tied up.
1.Siegfried- Who is siegfried? Some say it’s Baram. What was up with the clone Siegfried? A lot of people say it’s Gogo, but who knows.
2.Gogo-who is he/she. A lot of people say it’s daryl, which makes sense. you’d need an airship to get to triangle island, and only Daryl and Setzer had one.
3.The ending in general:
The trinket Celes dropped? Possibly a wedding ring?
Does Shadow die?
So your thoughts on these, and other weird loose ends in an FF plot.
-Siegfried was a joke character. It’s just that lots of us Westerners didn’t get the joke. Siegfried is the name of a great mythological swordsman, and as it turns out the real Siegfried (in the game) was a great swordsman. The joke is that there was someone claiming to be Seigfried who was really a wimp, and a thief.
-Gogo is Gogo. Who’s Umaro? Who’s Mog? O_o There’s no need to claim that people are anybody but who they say they are.
-The trinket was just there to make Celes hesistate so Locke could save her. It isn’t any thing important.
-Shadow dying is up to your interpretation, similar to the FF Tactics ending.
-Not to be disrespectful Cid, but I do think there’s some evidence that points to Gogo being Daryl. I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but Setzer never found Daryl’s body, and she crashed on a remote island. Gogo is the only inhabitant of a remote island, and the only way to get their would be by ship or Airship. A lot of people have suggested that Gogo is Daryl because of this. I tend to agree.
-I was just wondering what other board member’s personal interpretations were of Shadow’s ending?
In FF8, they mention a global radio interference signal after the Dollet mission, and never clear up how that suddenly stopped as soon as Galbadia capture the communications tower. Not really a loose end, but something that they never explained none the less.
Where’s the fun in knowing everything? Some things SHOULD be left up to our interpretation, that’s what makes it enjoyable. Knowing every little picking detail is tedius and tends to ruin the fun since a good many of us think “Well what if…” and that’s where we get discussion.
Locke: Gogo lives on an isolated island because he’s a mysterious secret character, and it’d be silly to have him living in an inhabited village. There were absolutely no indications that Daryl was inclined towards wearing flashy clothing which covered everything but her eyes and mimicking what other people did. She crashed, remember? She’s dead. Her grave is in Daryl’s Tomb. Let’s not get carried away here.
Gogo lives in the belly of a beast, not on an island. You seem to forget that.
If you remember, when you’re in Daryl’s Tomb, Setzer mentions that he never found Daryl’s body (Despite the tomb reading Daryl lies here) but found the wrecked ship on a remote island. Gogo lives on the most remote Island in FF6.
When Daryl’s ship crashed, it is quite possible that she was swallowed up by the Zone Eater. Some how she managed to survive (Final Fantasy is full of characters surviving seemingly unsurvivable situations), and you discover her X-amount of years later, wearing rags, with amnesia.
Like the other person said, these things are left open to interpretation. And my interpretation is that Gogo is Daryl, with amnesia. It is a valid interpretation, and I don’t appreciate being looked down on for reading it that way.
Heck, thats the most convincing argument I’ve heard for an interpretation. I agree with you! My friends and I always talked about that as a strong possibility too. I’ll have to say that I vote yes to “Daryl = Gogo”
I never said I looked down on you for thinking that. But I still disagree, and I feel that you’ve got a theory and you’re looking for facts to prove it, rather than looking at the facts and figuring theories from them. The main reason I don’t like it is because Square is nearly always obvious when trying to give hints about “secrets” - Shadow and Relm’s relationship was played out in five dreams, and Squall/Laguna’s relationship had a fairly obvious set of clues from Kiros and Ward. If this was true, I just feel that Squaresoft would have been more up-front about it.
Dang I’m a lot farther from the end of FF6 than I thought… and I’m really itching to play FFX and X-2 again, but I want to finish 6 first… I have no clue who Seigfried or Daryl are. ::doh:: Kefka just used his “light of judgement” to fry some house and I had to save a kid. I know that Gogo and Umaro are secret characters, I know that Umaro is in the Narshe mines, but I have NO idea how to get to the little ledge where he’s at. All well. I guess I don’t HAVE to go through all the sidequests. I really wanna play X again…
Trust me, as someone who’s played both all the way through several times, Final Fantasy X isn’t even in 6’s league in my opinion. Finish FF6. It’s worth it.
Daryl being Gogo is pretty far fetched. I agree with Cid, the only evidence is circumstantial and speculation, and were this a court, you wouldnt get a conviction from that… Whereas, unlike with Shadow and Relm, their relationship is played out in dreams, Interceptor, a normally agressive dog takes up with Relm instantly, and there are two Momento rings(from moms departed love) Relm starts with one, and you find one more in the house.
The evidence for Squall being Laguna’s child is a little less-obvious. But Ellone hints at it, along with Kiros and Ward. Ellone being like Squall’s adpoted sister, it make very much sense that Squall had such a close relationship with her in the orphanage, and so close he even called her sis(they all did that, right ?) There is also the way the Momba’s called Squall Laguna when they smelled him and tasted his blood, and agreed to help them escape from the prison. But there just isnt any physical evidence to support the claim that Daryl is Gogo.
I want an explanation about “vivi’s kids” that appear at the end of FF9 !
I remember hearing about the Daryl/Gogo rumour before, but I dismissed it because Gogo mentioned something about how long he’d been there, and for some reason it seemed to me that it had been too long for it to be Daryl. But now I can’t remember what the amount of time was, or why I felt Daryl went missing since then. Bleh.
As for loose ends, how exactly was Terra raised? Did she have the slave crown on since she was an infant?
Maybe not such a loose end, but something to think about…
I just remembered that we actually see Kefka putting the slave crown on Terra for what is, assumedly, the first time. (He’s cackling over how he can completely control her with it). It’s her normal sprite, so it gives the impression that the slave crown was recent. But there’s also the possibility that Square just wanted to make sure the players knew it was Terra. Either way, she wasn’t an infant, even if she was still a child. But what happened during those years when she didn’t have it on? Did she ever remember them, or were they too far back?
Another loose end, whatever happened to Banon? He’s extremely important in the first half of the game, but not even mentioned in the second. I always assumed he died, but it’s kinda weird the way he’s never brought up again.
