Board 8 > Rate the Final Fantasy Character Day 32: Garland

(+) Yeah! (+)

- Vote from 0-10, use 5 as an average, decimals are okay.
- Don't be lame and use alts or anything like that.
- Only vote if you've played enough of the respective game to have a good feel for the character. This if of course subjective for the character so you'll have to use your own judgment. But if you played fifteen minutes of the game once, you probably don't know the character well enough.
- Nominations are closed until further notice.

Going to have to say no to this sadly

Bah.

Then I'll have to give him a pretty low rating.

3/10

"Not until the end. Always."

7.2

I have a soft spot for him because I thought he was the final boss as a kid cause I didn't know how that you had to equip bought gear so his fight was pretty tough. So imagine my shock when he actually was later. It's like 'aw hell naw'

Also his plot was really weird and neat, especially for an NES game.

Oh and I guess there's that knocking you down line which is kinda funny.

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

6.

3.5

Mostly for his Dissidia english voice sounding like a great combination of Piccolo and Vegeta's

7.2/10.

Without Dissidia, he'd be pretty bland despite KNOCK YOU ALL DOWN, but Dissidia does a great job giving him actual character.

A staple formula for FF villains:
"They only do this, but lets kill them anyway!!!"

This is another case where it can be asked which Garland. FFI or FFIX? Probably I/Dissidia.

Mainly for Dissidia.

Good point....

FF9 Garland: 5.7/10. Would have been higher if he was around for more than one disc... physically, anyway.

That from the first post should've made it clear that it's FFI Garland.

It's still possible the person who nominated him meant FFIX Garland, but TC just assumed it was FFI Garland.

Generally, it's best to assume it's the original one.

8/10

Being the most epic character with a name in FF1...

He is someone that probably started the basis for many of the people in other Final Fantasies...

And probably the hardest first boss you would ever face in a game... If you didn't know how to beat him

5 out of 10

Which one? If it's the original FF then he has a 5 and if it's FF IX then it's a 5.5.
Possible Spoilers:

This is because I found him and Chaos, the creature he transforms, into to easy to beat in any version of the game and he somehow knows who you are before you even meet him in the past while in FF IX he' the leader of a species he created, owns an awesome airship that you take, and provide a challenge for you in battle even though he is only physically there for the end of Disc 3.

--
I bring order and chaos, I am life and death, creator and destroyer, just like the rest of humanity.

Oh yeah, this is the original. I'll specify from now on but if I don't say anything, just assume it's the original.

Another average character. Deserves points for being the first villain and for the nifty twist at the end. That's about it.

3.5/10. Well, him being secretly the final boss is pretty cool, but that's about as far as an NES RPG character can go. Also will knock you down, of course.
