Who is Gogo?

[Dark Paladin Danny]

First off, I think they only put in Gogo so they could have nine main character in the game as well as part of the ending (if you get him) where they need his mimic skills to get out of the tower, second I don't think Gogo is Shadows friend, or Shadow (if you can get him back) would most likely know it's him.



As far as I know, they was going to add that to the game, but they ran out of time so they left her dead.

Nine? Theres Fourteen main characters, you need twelve just in the last dungeon

Also Aeris wasn't going to be revived, just killed off much later

Also, Gogo is Gogo, the mime in FFV who flung himself into the "X-Zone" spell, and of course you meet him in the "Zone" Eater

Sorry keep forgetting you can have four people in your party in FF6 & 9 (and anyothers apart from 7, 8, 10, 10-2 (not sure about 11 and 12 since I never played them)

Also it would have been better if they kept it that way with Aeris.

Actually you only need 3 (+1 to fly the Falcon)...but I get what you were trying to say.

FFIV has a 5-person party system.

Also, it would have been better if they had killed Aeris off SOONER since she was such a boring character doing nothing for so long...Could have offed Cloud too for all I care, though...>_>

I find things like "it's gesthal" or "it's vargas" somewhat unlikely, because I doubt they'd team up with you. It's possible Gogo is the same Gogo in FFV. When he leaves, he casts Banish on himself, thus throwing himself in an interdimensional portal. He could have ended up in the world of FFVI.

Gogo is (or at least calls him self...) a famous mime, and yes he probably banished himself to FFVI. I've heard Gilgamesh is in other games and Exdeath banished him. so you're probably right.

I wonder how cid does it?.....

 

[Zeromus]

IMO, he's the same mime from FFV. Gilgamesh has apparently been able to go to other worlds ever since he was

Spoiler

banished to the N-Zone (or is it X-Zone?) by Exdeath.

Gogo did it to himself, suggesting the same thing. And so he traveled to the world of FFVI. This is my opinion though.

P.S. I've forgotten if I've already posted on this thread. Oh well.

I dont think its any of the before mentioned he is just another version of filler character who has nothing to do with the storyline. He evendies at the end (Very stupid also)

I do not think that the two are the same. Mostly because... no Final Fantasy games are related. It may have been a failed attempt to introduce another "constant" in the Final Fantasy series. Like Cid, who plays different roles in each Final Fantasy game. Having Gogo appear in the Zone Eater after a similar character in Final Fantasy V's untimely demise could jsut be the same thing. In Final Fantasy V, "Gogo" was a mime, and in Final Fantasy VI, "Gogo" was a mime who, in my opinion (Because the game SAYS SO) is the original leader of the thieves Edgar took over. Like in Final Fantasy V, "Cid" was an engineer, and in Final Fantasy VI, "Cid" is a scientist at the Magiteck research facility.

Its different with FF5 though. The FF5 world can be linked more with the other FF worlds as that game saw the villain attempt to control the Interdimensional Rift and many characters went there. It would be easy to say that some got lost and never returned to their true homes.

Main case being Gilgamesh. He appears as the same character in FF8 (mostly same appearance, and with dialogue refering to him being lost while dimension travelling).

Gogo from FFV could easily have tapped into the opened void and used it to travel to FFVI.

I think this theory of Gogo makes more sense than "he is General Leo" etc or naming him as anyone else the players love who happened to go missing/die at some point in the game.

I am not being a jerk, I just like friendly debating.

Really, the worlds of Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI do not have to be intertwined for this to be a similarity. Even when you lay it out like this, it still hints twoards Square's uncanny ability to realate unrelated worlds. It does not mean that the theives who clearly stated what they did are wrong. I don't see how any theory besides Gogo being their leader could work.

Gilgamesh appears in nearly every game he is in the "mostly same appearence".

Same as my first point.

My theory? Or the one which has holes in it?

I never thought you were a jerk. The case of Gogo isn't a sure question-answer, there is debating involved and people will have different opinions.

They don't have to be intertwined. I was just stating that when mentioning FF5 it is much more likely that it is more than just a passing reference than with any references to other FF games, as the world of FFV was presented with a portal to the gates of all universes and dimensions, and the travelling of an FFV character (Gilgamesh) into another FF world (FF8 at least, others speculated) has happened before.

Gilgamesh appears in nearly every game he is in the "mostly same appearence".

He's appeared in a handful. The FF8 version of Gilgamesh was more explicitly refering the FFV character though, stating how he was searching for the "dimensional interval" etc.
The FF12 version could also be the same bloke (though nothign but his personality and music would tell us it is anything more than just a reference), though the other ones (such as FF9 amd FF11) share little in common with FFV's Gilgamesh and are probably not the same person.

My theory? Or the one which has holes in it?

The Leo/Gestahl theories I was refering to. Though the Gesthal theory isn't too bad.

About your views, you say it was the thieves boss? Well that was one of the suggestions put up in this thread by myself at one point I think. It is plausible but as some people have stated the worms that ate the boss (sandworms in Figaro) are entirely different to the Zone Eater, and in the wrong area of the world. And I think somebody mentioned that the boss they were refering to may have actually been Gerard/Edgar.

Eh. I was just saying in case the thought came up.

That is a very intelligent theory. I love it. And actually, now that it is put out that way, I can agree with it. And it kinda makes things A LOT more interesting. But still, the only thing that I am kinda shifty on is the thieves saying what they did.

He's appeared in a handful.

I know. I meant the ones that he WAS in. I know he first appeared IN Final Fantasy V.

The FF8 version of Gilgamesh was more explicitly refering the FFV character though, stating how he was searching for the "dimensional interval" etc.

I am loving these theories!

That may be true. The only thing I see wrong with that is that they would most likely be referring to the tentacle creatures that attacked them. Because they would have no reason to think him dead until that battle when he tells them to head into the treasure room, and then they came back to not find him, assume him dead and eaten. Plus, I think that the thieves made a comment in the World of Balance as well.... Which brings me to my next point!

But hey, this gives me a reason to play Final Fantasy VI again! Because now I am second guessing myself. TO MY GBA! Or my SNES. However, I appreciate the more closely translated script the remake sports. Not so much the enhanced sprites.

Here is a quick thought. Maybe, both of the aforementioned theories are correct. And Gogo DID find himself in the world of Final Fantasy VI after being sucked in by the X-Zone spell, and he turned to theieving as a way to "fit in" to a world he did not understand and wanted to leave, to find is own world once more? Or am I just putting way too much thought into this whole interdimensional rift theory? Either way, there could be alot of debating, theorizing, and thinking to be done.

Don't double post please

 

[ACardAttack]

This is one of the best mysteries in the FF realm and there are some very good theories, I like the Emperor Gestahl, Banon or Vargus theories personally the most

 

[garbageman705]

My friend Brian and I always entertained the idea that he was Golbez. After the end of FF4 he rides the moon somewhere, can't quite remember where, been awhile since I played that one. He also has a horned helmet like Golbez although it's only one horn.

 

[Holmcross]

I'm a fan of the Band of Thieves theory. It says it right in the game that their leader was swallowed in the desert.

Also, the Adlai Stevenson theory is HILARIOUS. I remember reading about it and cracking up at the coincidences.

 

[Ashe B'nargin]

The idea of gogo being Daryl ( Setzer's old girifriend ) is really sweet.
The vision that she lived through the addicent and is keeping a eye on her old past love through hidden eyes. And seeing whether if Setzer is alright or finally had courage to move on from the past...

Though somebody had the idea that Gogo is Kefka. That when Kefka gets defeated, he goes through Ultimecia time warp and makes a future self and the past self. The past self disguses himself as Gogo, and then he faces his future self ( the real Kefka ) and then beats himself up.

Cool eh ?

 

[Sora_lion_heart]

Ahhh Theories !!!

I like to think of the Gogo = Daryl. Although a lot of the time I just really don't care who it is. I've heard of the Gogo = Kefka but thats really IMO not plausible. So yeah how about he just say Gogo = Gogo like we says Sabin = Sabin.

Well the difference is Sabin gives away his identity.. It's obvious that Sabin is Sabin as we see his face, get to know his character etc.

What makes Gogo so unique is that we know nothing about him/her, and we don't see the face of the character at all. So that gets people into a right state in trying to solve the riddle of who he is.

Shadow also doesn't really show his face, and is very mysterious, but who he is is at least given away by the end of the game, and the reasons behind how he became a kick ass ninja.

With Gogo we have too many possible explainations... And too many explainations can be equal to no explaination at all.

But I do like to think about any theory. It's never made concrete in the game, which is why the character fascinates people. He's a blank canvas laid out for people to make up whatever they think he did.

 

[One-winged Demon]

Gogo's true idienty?(May contain spoilers)

I think that he is based of Gogo from FFV but he is not him,he is probably Baram or someone from Shadow's or Kefka's past.

 

[Bambi]

We already have a thread on Gogo's identity ;3
