Dissidia Opera Omnia : Force Weapon partner connection (PART 2/?)

PART 2 compiled the FRs released in December 2021's banners. The one with bold purple is FR user and the black one is the partner.

Just click on "fr partner" tags if you want to see the full list.

-------------------------------------

Gabranth - Gau (Aspiration) : Interaction in Act 3 Chapter 2 and Garnet's Intertwining Wills. Both were abandoned by their family member and got "stray" theme.

Gau was abandoned by his father who went mad after the death of his wife.

Gabranth turned his hatred towards Basch who 'abandoned' him and his mother to fight for Dalmasca after the fall of Landis.

Ursula - Ashe (Dual Turning Palm Strike) : Princesses who looks up to their father as a role model and are determined to seek for strength/power until they learns they were wrong.

Ursula wished to become stronger like Yang, and wants him to train with her but he always refuses so she secretly training alone in Mt.Hobs. In the end, she came to realize someone with strength of heart to protect friends is stronger than someone with physical strength alone.

Ashe looked up to King Raminas as a role model of what a good ruler should be like. She wished to take revenge on Archadia by using the nethicite but gave up her quest realizing Dalmasca used Dusk Shard for peace instead of weapon and her late husband wouldn't want her to take revenge.

Fujin - Shadow (Hyou) : Taciturn.

Being a ninja/assasin type, Shadow rarely speaks and didn't get involved that much in the party affairs.

Fujin prefers efficiency for her speech manner. in Japanese, her dialogue text is shown in kanji while in English is all capitalized word.

Sherlotta - Cait Sith (Crystal Dice) : 🐱 CATS. Their current form are not their real form.

Sherlotta's real form is asleep in the Tower but her consciousness possess an immortal cat. Cait Sith is a cat robot controlled by Reeve.

Reno - Quistis (Galvanic Chain) : Both work for an organization and takes their job with pride.

Reno is an agent and second in command of Turks, an elite investigation department of Shinra. Despite his appearance and laid-back personality when it comes to mission, he always took it professionally.

Quistis is a member of SeeD, a hired mercenary force from Balamb Garden. Despite her lack in leadership, she is proud and always tries her best with her job. When Squall is promoted as Commander of SeeD, Quistis serves as his assistant along with Xu.

(Paired because of professionalism trait sounds unique and indeed there are some scene where they showed their professionalism but tbh it feels random to me.)

Cloud of Darkness - Exdeath (Void Particle Beam) : Both are the entities who wished to return everything to nothingness. (VOID)

Cloud of Darkness is an entity which appears when the imbalance between Light and Dark occurs. It can be said its the embodiment of Void itself.

Exdeath is a warlock born out from the concentration of evil spirits sealed in a tree in Forest of Moore.

Possibilities that Terra was supposed to have a cat in FF6

I’ve had a belief for a long time that Terra was originally supposed to have had a cat in FF6. Just like the main character being cut and appearing in FF7, this cat has also likely gotten the same fate as Cloud.

There are quite a lot of details that support this, so for this post I’ll just list them:

I’m almost certain Rinoa was designed to be an “opposite version” of Terra (just like Squall [Griever is a lion] is to Cloud [Fenrir is a wolf]). She has a dog named “Angelo”, which means the dog is “good” spirited. Terra in this case would have had a “bad” spirited cat in FF6.

Terra’s habit of hugging moogles in later games is a bit strange...when did that start? Dissidia? Probably way earlier. She hugs them like they were cats, and it was easy (for me at least) to see those similarities. Also, Terra’s “concept” art w/ any moogles came after FF6 (like this one). Mog’s Amano art does not include Terra (well, except whatever this is), although one appears to have...Cloud!? Main character of FF6? Too little info, but for reference here’s Nomura’s drawing.

Serah Farron is another character designed after Terra, but more as a similar than an opposite. She has cat-shaped earrings, and at the beginning of FF13-2, she has a cat, her weapon is a moogle transmogrified into a bow, she’s a grade-school teacher (her connection to children)...yeah, definitely designed after Terra.

The Choco-mog summon in FF7 is likely a symbol of Terra riding magitek armor (it’s kinda designed after a chocobo). If that’s the case, the inclusion of Cait Sith sitting on top of a moogle is supposed to symbolize Terra’s cat. Thing is, he’s a robot, so he can’t actually BE her cat. He is kinda of a “bad-spirited” character though, and their tenacity in having this weird character in FF7 is a reason by itself that there’s something behind it. 

The Avalanche crew in FF7R (Biggs, Wedge, & Jessie) were given traits similar to Terra’s interests. Biggs is the orphanage, Jessie is the “princess” (or the temporary replacement for Terra), and Wedge has...CATS. A couple pictures of black cats appear by the “missing book ‘II’” book racks, which are Dissidia hints. The sheer amount of cats in FF7R is clue enough that something’s up, including the white cats of Betty (Advent Children’s “Moogle Girl”).

In Tifa’s part of Traces of Two Pasts (translated), she’s given a cat named “Maru”. The interesting part is the line given in the translated version - “Note: Some people have mentioned that Maru, transliterated to English, sounds like the word “mal” in French, which means bad/evil.” That is the opposite of Rinoa’s dog “Angelo”.

There are are multiple characters that are given “Moogle Girl” hair bangs. These characters have traits that are from Terra (usually cut from FF6 like “dancing”, flutes(?) and her childhood). The three related to cats are Lilisette, who chases after the “mythological” Cait Sith, the “cat-girl” Y’shtola, and...Sherlotta.

Sherlotta is the one who I believe IS Terra’s cat, or at least, possessed Terra’s cat. Her personality is based on the cat’s, and she’s definitely very bad-spirited.

Do you remember the moments in FF7R where Cloud follows a cat? Sherlotta’s cat does the same thing in her game when the villain shatters her crystal. There is a possibility that FF7R is literally referencing this cat.

Sherlotta (Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time) was given a story very, very similar to Terra’s, which makes it easy to tie the two characters together. An old guy named Larkeicus (designed after Hojo, who’s designed after Kefka) uses/enslaves Sherlotta for her power to make crystals. 

She has a deep bonding moment with some baby she found in the forest, basically becoming a “mother” character (actually, on the level of Jenova, Terra, and Aerith). At the end she talks to Larkeicus about “her purpose of living” just like Terra did to Kefka at the end of FF6.

When Terra travels with Vaan in Dissidia 012, she asks Vaan to kill her so she wouldn’t let others suffer because of her.

Sherlotta tells her own child to do the same to her real body, verifying the possibility that Terra would have done the same in FF6, because Sherlotta’s backstory is clearly ripped from Terra.

Terra’s cat would have been “bad spirited”, and that’s literally Sherlotta’s character when she faces strangers. She asks a child (in front of his mom) to kill her to prove she’s immortal. As if that’s the only thing! She lives with dead people, wants people to believe she’s a witch, and is clearly violent.

Her entire character in World of Final Fantasy is literally violence. This behavior is so a part of her character that it is noteworthy by itself.

DFFOO toned down her demonic behavior, but in the 2nd anniversary splash screen, she’s right beside Terra.

Note that Cloud’s Buster Sword is right in front of Terra. Serah’s also beside them. This image definitely says a lot.

Putting this information all together, Terra likely had a cat when she was a child (since Tifa was given one at that age) and it probably is Sherlotta’s cat, since it looks similar to Cait Sith. The main character of FF6 would have interacted with this cat. The cat would have been mean-spirited to everyone she was unfamiliar with. Terra would have gotten her hugging obsession from this cat.

Truth be told, there must be something important related to cats if they’re used in such a cryptic way as the pic below. It could be that Cloud’s “remembrance” of Terra is tied to her cat, and we can know this thanks to how Traces of Two Pasts shows Cloud’s relation to Tifa’s cat.

Picture of a black cat, picture of the Sector 6 reactor, and the missing book ‘II’ bookrack. This is from Aerith’s house, and it’s below a picture of a dancing couple. 

The other cat picture is in Jessie’s house where Cloud reads her note (the cat Cloud follows appears right before this moment). That cat may be a direct reference to the cut main character of FF6′s actions around Terra’s cut cat, and also a reference to Sherlotta.

When it comes to moogles though...I believe they are more of her “identity” than anything. Cloud was given the same “identity” with chocobos for some reason (they specifically wanted him to have a chocobo haircut).

Translated version of Traces of Two Pasts - Tifa.
