Zidane Tribal |
Age : 16 |
Sex : Male |
Class : Thief |
Zidane is
pretty much a standard mid-evil time teenager. Doing good and
having no real memory of his past until a certain point in the game make
him pretty much a standard hero. He has his eyes set on Princess
Til Garnet. "He's a player". The game stresses that
Zidane is "not a jerk, unkind, brat, coldhearted, stuck up (must I
go on?) like Squall. In any case, Zidane is an optimistic
kid. He constantly cheers on his teammates and does his best to
keep everyone happy and their moral of his friends sky high making him
sort of like Selphie. He has a Steal command (Mug) which you can
use to get some of the best items in the game. He also has
diversion commands such as "What was That ?!"; "Was that
a Ghost?!" which makes your opponents turn around while you can
attack from behind. Which I believe like in FF8 does double the
damage. Zidane is not completely childish character and matures
throughout the game, eventually making his quest to find the mystery of
his birth and origin. |

Vivi Ornitier |
Age : 9 |
Sex : Male |
Class : Black Mage |
With the biggest role after Zidane, Vivi
(not VIVI) is a 9-year-old black mage who has forgotten his
past. Although he is extremely clumsy, Vivi is also an extremely
powerful wizard, and like all wizards (Black, White, or Blue) is feared
and respected in the world of Gaia. Unfortunately, little Vivi
knows nothing about himself besides he is the only black mage, and is
not under the control of evil Queen Brahne. Vivi joins Zidane’s
side after being caught in the midst of a battle between other black
mages and the band of thieves sent to kidnap Garnet. From there,
Vivi will aid the party with a wide variety of Black Magic. If Vivi
and Steiner are in the party at the same time, Vivi can cast elemental
magic on Steiner's sword. |

Adelbert Steiner |
Age : 33 |
Sex : Male |
Class : Knight |
Twice the age of the other heroes,
Steiner, at the age of 33, is a giant knight who doesn't see eye to eye
with Zidane. Captain of the Knights a Pluto, the only squadron of
male soldiers in Alexandria, Steiner's only duty is to protect Garnet
with his life. Tensions grows between him and Zidane as Steiner
labels the fact that Zidane is a threat to Garnet. Steiner isn't
the quickest guy and he spends a good part of the game trying to come to
grips with Queen Brahne's new behavior. Even after he is captured,
Steiner is convinced it's a communication cut off and not an actual
betrayal. Although Steiner may not have many distinct and specific
battle skills, he brings his massive physical strength to the
table. Steiner can equip the heaviest equipment and weapons found
throughout the game and will eventually learn physical fighting
techniques that will cause major damage to the enemies. |

Garnet Til Alexandros 17th |
Age : ? |
Sex : Female |
Class : Summoner |
The daughter of Queen Brahne, Princess
Garnet has difficulty communicating with everyday commoners after her
voluntary kidnapping.
Zidane has to carefully instruct her on how to associate with and act
like a simple folk.
While the Princess does not look tough, she can dish our major pain by
summoning monsters.
She also has White Magic abilities to keep the party in good
shape. |
|
Eiko Carol |
Age : 6 |
Sex : Female |
Class : White Summoner |
Eiko is the last survivor of a tribe of
summoners and is desperately afraid of being alone.
She lives as the only human in a village of cute little moogles. Once
she joins up with the heroes, she quickly develops a crush on Zidane,
Eiko is only 6, and forms a rivalry with Garnet. She can summon
powerful healing creature and also use White Magic. |
|
Freija Crescent |
Age : ? |
Sex : Female |
Class : Dragon Knight |
Freija is one of the last surviving
Dragoon Knights, and a long-time friend of Zidane. Freija is
rat-like, and meets up with the other heroes while searching for her
lost love. She is glad to assist the party with her great fighting
sills and keen sense of street smarts. Her battling abilities are molded
after the traditional Final Fantasy Dragoon. The Jump command takes
her off the screen where she waits to pounce on her opponents. |
|
Quina Quen |
Age : ? |
Sex : ? |
Class : Blue Mage |
Quina is probably the oddest character
in Final Fantasy IX. Quina is on a quest to become a master
chef. This gargantuan clown thing lives out in Qu's Marsh and
practices Blue Magic. Its weapon of choice is a massive fork which
allows it to 'eat' its enemies and learn their abilities (Like Quistis
Blue Magic Limit Break). The twist for the character?
He's not necessarily a he. Square has made it quite clear that no
one knows what gender Quina is, if any. |
|
Salamander Coral |
Age : ? |
Sex : Male |
Class : Ninja |
Salamander is a giant, who's look is not
very far from his true nature. Salamander fights alongside Zidane's
group reluctantly, as Zidane apparently pulled a trick on Salamander
years ago, and Salamander is still holding a grudge. Salamander
depends on his strength, not other people. He can throw items, Gil,
heal the party's HP/MP, and use Street Fighter Blitz maneuvers. |
