Final Fantasy Discovery

After many, MANY incorrect guesses on your part, it's finally time to reveal who the second and final secret character is! This character comes to us from Final Fantasy IX. Before I tell you who it is, let me just give a bit of the history behind the decision.

Originally, I meant for this character to be Terra from Final Fantasy VI. She would utilize both White Magic and Black Magic, and be able to equip any piece of equipment. The goal here was to add in an overpowered character who could potentially solo anything in the game, if players wanted that sort of challenge. In the end, I decided that a different character was more appropriate.

So, are you ready for it?

He's awesome.

Hang on.

The secret character is none other than...

STILTZKIN THE MOOGLE! KUPO!


I decided that this project needed a playable Moogle. There are plenty of Moogles in the game, but the traveling merchant Stiltzkin can be yours if you can figure it out.

One thing I should mention, I am NEVER telling how to get him and I will NEVER show him in any screen shots here. When you see his skills below, you'll understand why finding him on your own is worth it, and spoiling it would be evil.

Weapon Types: Dagger, Sword, Claw, Lance, Rod, Staff
Armor Types: Armlet, Shield, Hat, Helmet, Light Armor, Heavy Armor
Command Abilities: None
Ability Sets: Dance, Stash

Dance
While dancing, Stiltzkin will automatically battle and execute different special attacks based on the terrain he is battling in. If attacked while dancing, Stiltzkin has a chance to stumble and fall, canceling the dance. There are eight dances in total, and each dance has up to six special abilities.

Wind Rhapsody (Plains, Grasslands)
Desert Lullaby (Desert)
Forest Nocturne (Forest, Woods)
Earth Blues (Mountain, Cave)
Love Serenade (Town, City)
Twilight Requiem (Wastelands)
Water Harmony (Ship, Shore, Riverbed, Underwater)
Snowman Rondo (Snow)
Techno Shuffle (Factory, Castle)
Sky Aria (Airship)

Stash
Stiltzkin can use items from his merchant stash in battle. These items are actually abilities that affect the entire party and cost no MP (or items) to use!

Mega Potion: Restores 2,000 HP on the entire party.
Dry Ether: Restores 150 MP on the entire party.
Phoenix Down: Revives all fallen allies with 25% Max HP.
Unicorn Horn: Nullifies all negative status conditions on the entire party.
Al Bhed Cocktail: Restores 5,000 HP & 300 MP on the entire party.

Limit Breaks
Chocobuckle: Deals unblockable damage on a single enemy based on the number of times the party has escaped from battle.
Kupo Nut: Bestows Invincible on the entire party.

Invincible: Immune to all types of damage for three rounds.

As you can probably tell, Stiltzkin is REALLY versatile and can become a replacement for almost any attacker or healer. For this reason, he is incredibly difficult to recruit into the party, but will come in very handy in the optional endgame areas.
