He is calm when dealing with Noctis's wayward personality, offering him advice. When he was young, Cor was reckless and overconfident in his fighting skills.
He knows he isn't going to be with Noctis for long due to the orders from Regis as to the Crownsguard's new purpose, and warns him not to get too comfortable with having him around.

Estinien is a male Elezen wearing a full set of black Drachen scale armor with golden details. Though his helmet usually obscures his facial features, he has gray eyes. He has shoulder-length white hair, which was first mentioned in Tales from the Dragonsong War , and later shown in-game following the end of the Dragonsong War.
During the battle with Nidhogg in the Aery, Estinien's armor is severely scratched up and loses a horn before it is stained crimson in a shower of the dragon's spilled blood. This is a catalyst of blood magic, completed when Estinien takes hold of both of Nidhogg's eyes, where his most "human" form shows red glowing veins on his face and the two eyes fused to his mail. Parts of his lance become blood red, and its blade becomes jagged and claw-like. He later names his weapon after his late arch-nemesis.

Estinien in Endwalker .

During Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood , Estinien discards the red mail for a blue colored Trueblood Armor set with gold trimmings, and forgoes any headwear. The "From Azure Ashes" chapter of Tales from the Storm reveals that he named his armor Iceheart, in honor of Ysayle Dangoulain. In Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker , Estinien began tying his hair back upon arrival in Thavnair, as a means to contend with the region's heat.
As a Trust party member, Estinien's alternate outfit that he wore when infiltrating Garlemald is unlocked immediately.

Estinien is stoic and speaks in a brusque manner. He has little respect for those he sees as weak, and barely conceals his disdain when speaking to them. Estinien has a reputation for scorning social gatherings in Ishgard and detests the notion of keeping up appearances. He has spent the majority of his life being driven by his desire of vengeance against Nidhogg, and thus sees little need for companionship or hobbies. He has little respect for Ishgard's zealous leadership, criticizing their decisions and lack of care for the citizens. For the most part he keeps these opinions to himself, but is more open about it with his friends and companions.
His personality softens after traveling with the Warrior of Light and their companions. Though his rude manner of speaking never changes, Estinien admits that he has moved past revenge being his sole motivation. Though often insulting toward him, Estinien befriends Alphinaud Leveilleur. Aymeric de Borel suggests that Estinien sees Alphinaud as a reflection of the younger sibling he lost to Nidhogg's flames, while Alphinaud views Estinien as the older brother he wishes he had. Estinien respects the Warrior of Light as a trusted comrade and speaks highly of Ser Aymeric, believing him to be Ishgard's best hope for a new future.
In contrast, Estinien often argues with Ysayle due to her leading the Heretics and her idealistic desire for peace conflicting with his grim views and desire for retribution against Nidhogg. He is yet willing to work with Lady Iceheart for Ishgard's sake, and over time, the two come to an understanding if even a friendship, he even named his armor after her.
Later on, Estinien develops a respectful camaraderie and partnership with former Legatus Gaius Baelsar, working together during their shared mission in Garlemald . He would, however, get on the wrong foot with Alphinaud's twin sister, Alisaie , after the Dragoon mistook her for her brother, much to her immense annoyance.
As his vengeance against Nidhogg drove him for the majority of his life, Estinien originally felt little else. Upon learning the full history of Nidhogg and the founding of Ishgard, he realized what he was becoming: a creature like Nidhogg, what he was hunting, a beast who knows nothing but hate and revenge. Unlike Nidhogg, Estinien has friends who care for him and guide him to see beyond his vengeance. He foregoes any grudges he had with dragonkinds, as he befriends the dragonlet Orn Khai. In Endwalker , he suggests Vrtra reveal himself to the population of Thavnair and is proud after the dragon does so.
After joining the Scions, Estinien keeps his aloof behavior among his peers, only opening a little to the Warrior of Light and Alphinaud. He doesn't quite understand all the business about Ascians and the elder primals, but is prepared to fight for the future of Hydaelyn and is not above helping civilians, even laying his life for his comrades. He has a dry sense of humor, and often teases his fellow Scions good-heartedly.
According to Krile, Estinien is "very bad with coin", which is proven to be as he did not bother to haggle with Thavnair's merchants upon arriving with his fellow Scions. He would later buy a treasure map leading to Alzadaal's Legacy from a conman in Radz-at-Han in hopes that his impoverished accomplice would get his share of the profits, while being fully aware that it was a potentially a scam. His doubts about the map's authenticity would be alleviated upon learning that it was real from the accomplice, who lost both his parents during the Final Days. Additionally, Estinien has shown to be a poor liar, as when the Scions were first entering Old Sharlayan through immigration, the dragoon could not come up with a believable cover story and would have been caught had not Krile covered for him.
During his stay in Kugane, Estinien develops a taste for dried squid and makes references of it throughout the story, eventually becoming a Thavnairian local legend for purchasing an enormous supply of dried squid to keep him satiated during the journey to Ultima Thule.

The notable aspects of Cid's appearance stay constant throughout all of his forms: his long, red cape and regal clothing, and his large mustache. This is how those familiar to him can attest to his true identity in spite of his changing appearance. In his human form, Cid has gray hair and is fairly tall and noble-looking, but in his other forms he is a hunchback.

Cid is a caring and wise figure whom the party can depend upon, particularly Princess Garnet . While trustworthy, Cid is not without flaws. He is arrogant and boastful of his achievements and airships. He is frustrated with his current form, and quick to complain. Although his arrogance led to him cheating on his wife, he is genuinely upset about it, although it could be argued he is more upset about the loss of his airship and pride than the loss of his wife. Cid attributes his failure to design a new airship to his change of form, saying it has affected his mental capacities, so the extent his transformation has affected his personality remains ambiguous. Cid remains sharp-witted, defending his position as champion in a Tetra Master tournament and outsmarting Kuja 's machinations to help the party at Desert Palace . Though having no children of his own, Cid has a paternal streak.

Gadot is a dark-skinned, muscular man with fiery hair and teal clothes. He wears a chain with the word "posse" engraved on it. His design is said to be inspired by NBA and hip-hop fashion.
Character designer Nao Ikeda described Gadot as such in a Dengeki PlayStation interview:

Gadot was required to be 'shorter than Snow, but more macho. On the young side for age, and not as big as FFVII's Barret' and I had a lot of trouble with that. In the end he became in-between the two, and has a reverse-triangle type body. Also like his hair and his tattoo represents, his motif is 'fire', and he is supposed to be opposite of Snow who has a motif of ice. They both are hot-blooded, so I can't really say they're truly opposite though... (laughs) Nao Ikeda, Dengeki PlayStation
[2]

Gadot is brash and sometimes blunt, but he has a soft and caring side. He can also be temperamental and even confrontational at times, which is shown through his defensiveness towards Noel and how he looks out for Serah to the point of being overprotective. He is Snow's best friend and right hand man. He is very loyal to Snow, calling him 'boss'.

He often carries a bottle of liquor.

The ghosts wear pale blue shrouds with hoods and long sleeves, concealing their bodies but for their hands and faces. Their sprite depicts the area within the hood as a blank, black space, and their portraits show a blue skull-like visage with glowing white eyes.

Nothing is known of either of the ghosts' past, but they are the most friendly of the Phantom Train spirits, willing to accompany Sabin , Cyan , and Shadow on their journey through the train and fight with them against the other ghosts. However, they will not aid them in the battle against the locomotive and leave when the party reaches the front of the train. They gain nothing from this and ask nothing for their aid, they seemingly just want to be helpful to the group.
In the Super NES release, Sabin and Cyan refer to the ghosts as "it", but in the Game Boy Advance release they refer to them as "he". Unused shop price modifiers that depend on the gender of the party leader treat the ghost as a male.
The Final Fantasy Ultimania Archive guides humorously give the ghost characters "likes" (Hell), "dislikes" (Heaven), and "hobbies" (floating). [1]

Gordon is a young man with pale skin, blue eyes, and blond hair tied back in a ponytail. He wears a headband on his forehead inlaid with a blue gem, leather chest armor with a yellow tunic underneath, dark green pants and boots, and a purple cape.

Gordon wears a red cape and yellow clothing in his PS/GBA sprites, but his sprite matches Yoshitaka Amano's concept art in the PlayStation Portable version.

He is envious of the party's bravery and progress, feeling even more worthless in comparison to them. He eventually gathers the courage to try to assist the Rebellion, and during his time with Firion's group develops into a brave and confident leader, willing to volunteer for even the most dangerous missions.
In Final Fantasy II Muma no Meikyū , Gordon is portrayed with a drastically-different personality. He is rash and hotheaded, urging members of the rebellion to fight more aggressively, and rushing to confront Borghen alone. He goes by the alias "Gordy" when fighting alongside rebel forces.

Hien is a Midlander Hyur with messy black hair tied back in a topknot with red and orange ribbons and a beard trimmed to his jawline. He has a cross patterned scar on his forehead and on his right shoulder he received from battle. He wears a yellow fur-trimmed Dogi with misty mountain designs and a sturdy metal breast plate, including plating on the thighs, and metal shin guards. Being a Doman samurai, Hien carries Kiku-ichimonji, a katana with an ornate design.

Hien harbors a deep sense of honor and duty to his country and initially feels great remorse for the fall of his kingdom. He believes if his people are content under Garlean rule, he would not force them into revolting just to put himself on the throne, a lesson he learned from his father at a young age. He carries a friendly and competitive attitude among his peers which inspires them to excel and forge ahead. He is a capable leader and puts the safety of his people above his own status, hence why he didn't rejoin the Doman Liberation Front as he didn't want his people to suffer for his sake. Despite his great wisdom and serious nature when in battle, Hien has a healthy sense of humor when with friends and trusted comrades. Even so, even Hien can get flustered as Hien's mother called him Shun when he was little, and he gets embarrassed whenever addressed as such.
In battle and strategy, Hien has proven to be bold in his willingness to improve their chances against their enemies, such as when he decided to destroy Doma Castle if it meant ending the siege sooner and with less bloodshed. He occasionally clashed with his trusted companion, Gosetsu Everfall, over the subject of tradition (the latter objects to the destruction of Doma Castle due to its historical significance), but Hien believes one should not be weighed down by the past when forging a new future. Nonetheless, Hien greatly values Gosetsu's wisdom and appreciates the training he received from him as a child. Hien mourned his supposed death after Doma Castle collapsed but was happy to learn of his survival and welcomes his council once more but following Gosetsu's vow of becoming a wandering monk, Hien supported him wholeheartedly.
Since regaining his rightful place as king of Doma, Hien has proven to be a fair and wise leader but is also firm in his decisions. Though he welcomes the advice and wisdom of others, Hien refuses to budge on decisions that would otherwise be considered immoral or reprehensible, such as refusing to give into the Nami people's fears to have Yotsuyu executed even though she was comatose or yield to the fraud Kisei's desire for revenge against the conscripts that returned home. In this, Hien proves level-headed and in control over his emotions, striving to be the leader his homeland deserves and set an example for his people.

When performing his EX Burst Laguna rides the Ragnarok cannon while blasting the opponent with laser beams.

Leo wears a green military coat with yellow trim and pauldrons and a high collar. The coat is closed from the left side and held with a yellow and orange belt with a red orb seeming to function as the buckle. He wears matching pants and brown boots, the latter of which are adorned with the same type of red orb as is on his belt. Leo has dark brown eyes and blonde hair cut in a flat top style. Leo's Super NES and Gameboy Advance sprites give him light green trim on his coat and blue pauldrons and boots.
In Leo's Super NES sprite, he has the same skin tone as most other human NPCs, but his portrait and concept art depict him with dark skin. This is likely due to technical limitations of the number of palettes player-characters can draw from and the limited number of colors they have. The 2014 mobile and Steam release, as well as the Pixel Remaster release, give Leo's sprite a darker tone, though not as dark as his portrait. All-spin off titles featuring Leo consistently depict him with dark skin, save for Final Fantasy Record Keeper which reuses Leo's SNES sprite.
Leo's personal weapon is a sword. In Final Fantasy VI he wields the Crystal Sword . His concept art does not give a full view of the sword, only the handle and end of the sheath; what can be made out is that the handle is blue ornamentation and the blade is curved.

Leo is an upstanding, honorable man. Imperial soldiers look up to him as an ideal warrior and are proud to serve under him. Among the Returners , Cyan and Sabin both respect Leo for his integrity even if he is their enemy. Leo refuses to storm Doma Castle , reasoning that even if the Empire would win such a direct attack, they would suffer heavy casualties and he does not want his men to die pointlessly. Though one of his officers informs Leo he is willing to die for the Empire, Leo gently reprimands him by reminding him of his family and that he should act like a human before a soldier.
Leo's code of honor shames him even for inaction; he apologizes to Cyan for not being at Doma to stop Kefka from poisoning the river and killing the castle's citizens, and he tells Terra that he knew she was being used as a biological weapon and did nothing, and for it he considers himself no better than Kefka. He consoles Terra over her hesitations about being able to feel love, and privately tells her he'd like to continue the conversation at a later time. Leo is devoutly loyal to Gestahl and the Empire, obeying orders without question or hesitation, and is polite in all his dealings, even with Kefka. It is only when Kefka tries to destroy the peaceful village of Thamasa that Leo finally turns on Kefka and tries to stop Kefka's atrocities.

His turban and cloak are adorned with red gems and he is shown carrying a red and blue spiked shield. He has short hair, perhaps brown as shown by the sprites, dark brown skin, and blue eyes.

In Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII , Fang still greatly cares about Vanille but seems to have become detached and resigned towards the world's condition and the new status quo.

In the 3D versions, his model is depicted as having a near-constant frown.

Palom is a casual show-off, even to adults, and refers to himself as "The Mysidian Genius" or "Prodigy". This, combined with his inflated ego, causes him to get a little out of hand, leading to Porom having to settle him down, either with words or by smacking him on the head.

Porom is respectful and polite, and often has to keep Palom in line, frequently whacking him on the head.

He is adaptable, quickly acclimating to life in the Midgar slums and adjusting his tactics in combat.

Ever since Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward Thancred's hair has grown longer and his left eye has changed from brown to gray, which he covers with an eye patch. While he maintains it is purely cosmetic, in the rare instances his eye is visible, it is notably silver instead of the original brown.

Thancred remains concerned with Ryne's well-being, and is especially worried about Ryne when he learns the First will share the Source's fate if the world comes to an end.

Although Glaive accuses him of being Elgo in disguise, The Mask avoids the question when it is first raised. After traveling through the Lufenian Ruins , the group comes to a dead end and it seems like The Mask is turning against them.

He asks the Warriors of Darkness to "take care of his other half", which they initially interpret as an instruction to find and look after Elgo. Reunited with the Warriors of Light , the Warriors of Darkness encounter Elgo, revealed to be the Avalonian Emperor, who reveals that the masked Elgo was the manifestation of his self-doubt, and this Elgo is, in fact, the "dark" half. After the defeat of Chaos Elgo , Nil 's flow changes course and the escaping light threatens to kill off the Warriors. Most of the party flees, but Dusk and Alba stay behind. However, the spirits of Vata , Masked Elgo, and King Freyr teleport the two to safety.

Y'jhimei has chin-length red hair and fluffy feline ears. She has golden eyes with narrow feline pupils and the facial markings of a Miqo'te. She has a fluffy red cat's tail. Y'jhimei dresses in a typical Eorzean manner, wearing a halter top, white sleeves with leather guards on her forearms and leather cuffs, a red miniskirt and a black leather belt, as well as thigh-high black socks and heeled leather boots. She has a small leather messenger bag and a large tome of a book, the Lominsan Officer's Grimoire of Casting , on her hip.
Y'jhimei hails from the same tribe as Y'shtola Rhul , the Jaguar tribe.

Y'jhimei is peppy and excitable, expressing many cat-like qualities, such as curiosity on various objects of interest. She feels responsible for the disaster befalling Eos if the Ixal she inadvertently brought to Eos will summon their primal and does all she can to prevent it from happening.


Bravely Default

Y'shtola is a Miqo'te of the Seekers of the Sun with a light brown skin and brown facial markings, light teal eyes, and platinum blonde hair with two frontal pigtails tied with rings. She dresses in a white dalmatica with silver patterns and the mark of the Circle of Knowing on its left arm, blue trousers, and black ankle boots. She wears a visual device on her neck that allows her to analyze aetherial activity in the environment. She has the tattoo of an Archon on her neck. She wields a one-handed conjurer wand that resembles a tree branch.
In Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward , her eyes turn pale white as a consequence of using the forbidden spell, Flow,  rendering her physically blind. Y'shtola wears a new outfit provided by Tataru Taru , a long-sleeved white top with extended sides and back, short black shorts, black thigh-high boots, and a black bolero shrug over her shoulders. She wields the staff Truth Seeker. The player could unlock this outfit upon reaching Y'shtola level 80 in Avatar mode.
In Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers , Y'shtola delves into black magick and discards her white clothing in favor of black robes with gray fur, and flat-heeled boots. She wields a new cane called Nightseeker made from Deadwood.
In Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker , upon reaching Garlemald , Y'shtola will switch over to a Crystarium robe to stave off the cold.

Y'shtola is introduced as "Cultured Conjurer", a moniker that reflects her calm composure. She is a taciturn, well-spoken voice of reason even alongside her equally scholarly peers among the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, providing sharp, relevant insight that hardly ever strays from the matter at hand. This is in contrast to Thancred Waters, who frequently flings charismatic and flamboyant one-liners to be deflected by her stoicism.
Y'shtola's gall comes out when her patience has been tried, or as a counter to others' bold, irrelevant, or confrontational comments. She derives some of this audacity from her former master, Matoya, the two exchanging quips and subtle insults. Despite this, they care deeply for each other as Y'shtola holds her former master in the highest regard, and Y'shtola tries to avoid disrespecting her.
Y'shtola also is naturally cynical of people who hide the truth and their intentions. She quickly lost trust with the Crystal Exarch shortly after being summoned to the First due to his secretive nature, and attempted to avert the calamity her own way rather than cooperate with him. She only does so once more after the Warrior of Light arrived in the First.
Y'shtola has a cultured and refined diction which, although grounded enough to differentiate her from the theatrical likes of Urianger Augurelt, grants an air of wisdom to her. She is uninterested in romantic affairs, bluntly refusing the Oronir leader, Magnai Oronir , telling him to try again when he "becomes a man". During her time with the Night's Blessed, she has come to silently acknowledge Runar's slight feelings for her, though she knows she can't return them. Despite this, Y'shtola still considers Runar a good friend.
Y'shtola has a dry sense of humor, and oftentimes strikes back at the Warrior of Light when they reply her with a flirty or humorous dialogue choice. However, should the Warrior respond with a more serious and academic-minded response, Y'shtola quickly voices her approval.

In all his appearances and artwork Yang sports a blond mustache and shaven head save for his braided blond ponytail. In Final Fantasy IV and his Yoshitaka Amano artwork he is shirtless, with red wrist bands and pants tied at the ankle; a yellow sash around his waist, and flat brown shoes. He wears red earrings, and has a red tattoo on his left shoulder. In The After Years he retains the red pants, but now wears a red and purple sash over his left shoulder, and another tied to his left thigh. He wears white boots, and his hair and mustache are substantially longer.
Despite being a monk who fights with his fists, he is drawn with swords hanging from the belt in his Amano artwork.

Taciturn, humble and polite, yet fiercely protective, Yang dislikes hurting others or involving them in dangerous situations, but is always grateful for assistance. His high standing in Fabul means that he has garnered much respect, and the only person he appears to quail before the might of is his own wife. Yang copes with stressful situations by training himself and the other monks, though still cannot stop himself from rushing to Sheila's side as she gives birth.
During The After Years he initially refuses to train his daughter Ursula , believing she has no need to train for war. After witnessing her selfless protection of the monks accompanying her, he takes her on as a disciple, warning that she is just another student, not a daughter or a princess. According to Sheila, Yang admitted to her privately "How can I believe in my people's future if I cannot even believe in my own daughter?"

He has faith in his elder brother, and defends him when Ramza questions Dycedarg's actions. When realizing the true extent of Dycedarg's corruption, however, Zalbaag becomes vengeful and filled with rage, sadness, and remorse.

King Tycoon wears long, flowing blue robes along with blue chest armor and pauldrons edged with gold. He wears a winged helmet reminiscent of a Dragoon's , with a visor that covers his eyes. His hair is covered, but his short beard and mustache are dark. One piece of Yoshitaka Amano art depicts him holding a spear or scepter, although he does not participate in battle during the game. King Tycoon is the only known "Highwind" in the series who isn't clearly a spear -wielding Dragoon.

King Tycoon is a dutiful man who puts the best interests of his kingdom and the world above his own needs and unhesitatingly risks his life to protect others. He passed on the values of devotion and self-sacrifice to his daughter, Lenna. [note 2] King Tycoon is a loving father although he can be stern. While he is an important character in the game, how he thinks and acts generally are unclear, as he is most often seen during crises and acting out of his control.

Cecil wears dark armor that covers his body and face while he is a Dark Knight (the 3D render shows his eyes). When he becomes a Paladin, Cecil wears a blue and white armor that reveals his appearance: shoulder-length white hair, blue eyes, pale skin, and a tinge of purple on his lips. Even though Fusoya claims Cecil resembles his father, Kluya , in his youth, it is stated Cecil greatly resembles his mother, Cecilia , even being named after her.
In Final Fantasy IV: The After Years , Cecil wears a suit of white armor, but with dark spikes on the knees and pauldrons, and a brown cloak with blue stripes around the neck.
Cecil is one of the few Final Fantasy characters who are mixed-race, along with Yuna , Golbez , Terra Branford , Aerith Gainsborough , Seymour Guado , Lilisette , and Hilda . Cecil is the first half-human main protagonist.

Cecil is a strong and gifted knight, gaining the respect and admiration of his men during his captaincy of the Red Wings . Although being raised by the King of Baron , Cecil is modest, shy, and insecure. He struggles with showing his emotions, and his meekness catches others off guard, ill-fitting his initial role as a Dark Knight. Cecil struggles with his sense of identity and morality; he comes to hate himself for blindly following his King's orders to the detriment of others, and promptly loses his sense of self as a result. By becoming a Paladin and bonding with others, he gains a semblance of who he is.
His most remarkable traits are his bravery and firm beliefs. Towards his friends, Cecil is loyal, self sacrificing and exceptionally forgiving, being able to forgive even those who betray him.
In Final Fantasy IV: The After Years , Cecil maintains the noble character of a Paladin, but as a Mysterious Girl appears, his mind and character change radically.

Edgar wears a light blue armored chestplate with gold detailing, matching shoulderpads and bracers, an attached collar and cape, and black sleeves. He has a white sash around his waist with a lavender belt, dark blue pants and white boots. In Edgar's in-game sprite in the SNES and GBA versions of Final Fantasy VI , he keeps this same basic design but with green accents on his chestplate and green boots. His iOS and Steam sprites retain a primarily blue with gold color scheme, but his boots are black and his cape is purple. In all versions and in concept art , Edgar has blond hair tied into a ponytail with two blue ribbons, and he has blue eyes.
Some of Edgar's concept art depict him with a dark brown chestpece and cape, a design feature retained in the Anthology release's FMV sequences. This may have been an influence on his disguise while operating under the alias "Gerad"; Edgar dons a palette swap of his usual clothes that turn his outfit dark blue, brown, and black.

Edgar's defining trait is that he fancies himself a ladies man. According to an attendant in Figaro Castle , he has even made passes at the castle's high priestess, and when first introduced to Terra and Celes , he flirts with them shortly after. He even promised a young girl in Figaro he'll marry her when she's older, and in some localizations of Final Fantasy VI he is implied to take an interest in Relm before learning her age. Edgar's flirtation rarely persists after initial meetings and he is otherwise chivalrous, lecturing other party members of acting "properly" around women. Locke and Sabin regularly mock Edgar for his antics or show exasperation over them.
Edgar is a courageous and patriotic man, devoutly loyal to Figaro and acting in its best interests. He can be manipulative and daring when required, most famously when he used a two-headed coin to rig a life-changing coin toss to result in Sabin's favor. After meeting with Kefka , Edgar had an escape plan ready should he attack Figaro, and he assumed the disguise "Gerad" to take command of a band of thieves that had escaped the buried Figaro Castle and convinced them to lead him back inside, a plot so he could repair the castle's engines and raise it to the surface again. In both instances, he shows no hesitation putting himself front and center of his plans.
While they have been estranged ten years, Edgar is still close to his brother Sabin, and is concerned for his safety. When the two take a moment to reflect on the time lost together since Sabin left Figaro, Edgar admires how strong Sabin has grown, and wonders if their late father would be proud of him.

Edge is a young, lean man, with short, slightly spiked silver hair and light-blue eyes. In Final Fantasy IV , Edge wears gray-blue and black armor with a gray cowl covering his mouth and a large gray cape. In Final Fantasy IV: The After Years Edge retains the cowl but has darker blue clothing with golden armor on the shoulders and waist, and has a wavier hairstyle. His cape is exchanged for what appears to be Rubicante's Cloak of Flame, depicted in Edge's artwork , and can be obtained for him as equipment in the game.

Edge is rude, hotheaded and stubborn, refusing to give up his pursuit of Rubicante and not backing down from the fight despite being outmatched. He is mean and obnoxious to the party at first, but comes to appreciate their help over time. He has an unrequited crush on Rydia and flirts with other women occasionally, remarking that Rydia and Rosa make "two babes in the party". He has a short temper and uses his rage as a source of power in his rematch with Rubicante, unlocking new Ninjutsu skills.
In Final Fantasy IV: The After Years Edge is matured, displeased with the Eblan Four 's insistence to train in peacetime and thinking life would be better without the arts of war Eblan prides itself on. He cares for the Eblan Four, tolerating them and teaching them to survive and value their lives in their missions. In contrast to their previously seen relationship, it is Edge who calms a panicking Seneschal, worried about his health at his age if he continues, and he leaves the kingdom in the Seneschal's hands when he leaves to investigate the Tower of Babil .

Galuf is the oldest party member and one of the first older male warrior characters in the Final Fantasy series, a role succeeded by characters like Cyan Garamonde and Auron in later games.
Galuf has auburn hair and a beard in his field sprite, and white hair and a mustache in his Yoshitaka Amano artwork and menu portrait. His Amano artwork depicts him keeping his white hair tied at the back. Galuf's clothing is yellow and green in his field sprite, but his Amano artwork portrays him with black clothes with golden ornaments and a red sash, along with a shield on his back. His CG render from the Anthology release follows this appearance.

Galuf's crystal represents hope, the essence of earth. [10] Galuf is indomitable, irreverent, and jovial. He frequently cracks jokes and makes bad puns, [18] often making light-hearted jabs at the expense of both himself [13] and the other Light Warriors. [11] Galuf is also normally brash and rarely sentimental, as seen when he light-heartedly berated the Light Warriors for following him to his world, before quietly admitting he was happy they had. [17] Galuf is broadly not overly proud, brushing off thanks [11] and downplaying his status as a king. [18] Much like the other Light Warriors, Galuf is courageous and impulsive, never stopping before acting.
Galuf's defining trait is his love of both his Light and Dawn Warrior companions, as well as his granddaughter. Galuf feels immense guilt at the sacrifices of the Dawn Warriors, showing great concern for Kelger overexerting himself, [19] and being immensely distressed by Xezat's sacrifice, refusing to accept Xezat's death at first. [22] Galuf's love of his companions continues to the Light Warriors when he fiercely defends them against Siren after knowing them a few hours, [11] forbids them from following him to his world out of concern they won't be able to return to theirs, [14] and then later calls off a siege and rushes into Castle Exdeath alone to save his companions. [16] It then leads to a sacrifice of his own, mirroring his Dawn Warrior companions; against Exdeath in the Forest of Moore, Galuf pushes himself far beyond his limits to battle Exdeath alone if it means saving the Light Warriors and his granddaughter, telling Exdeath he is driven by an emotion more powerful than hatred, implying his driving force was love. [23]
Krile, Galuf's granddaughter, is his pride and joy. Their relationship is similar to Relm and Strago's relationship in Final Fantasy VI ; as with them, Krile seems to look out for Galuf as much as he does for her.

A red cape with a black underside hangs loosely over Gilgamesh's back; attached to it is an enormous red shield. Gilgamesh wields a massive red and black blade with a silver tip. In battle, he holds it over his shoulder and swings it effortlessly with one arm.
Gilgamesh has a second form, in which he trades his cape and shield for six additional arms. Covered in red and black armor, each arm holds one of the ultimate weapons available to the members of Class Zero .

Gilgamesh seeks a purpose, having forgotten his Focus , and he yearns to collect strong weapons. Suffering from amnesia , he wanders across Orience , challenging anyone he comes across to a duel.
Gilgamesh Ashur is inarticulate in comparison to his previous incarnations. Native Japanese speakers refer to his manner of speech as "samurai talk," crude use of the Japanese language, and can find his dialogue difficult to understand due to its ambiguous context and lack of certain particles.

Though he believes in peace and wants it to last, he tends to go on long ramblings about the past wars he partook in, exasperating his listeners.

In present time, his hair and beard have grown long and grayed. He wears a long red robe and a golden crown with red jewels.

Though a benevolent and kindhearted ruler for many years, even taking the orphaned Cecil and Kain under his wing, the King's demeanor has recently changed.

Noctis is a young man standing at 176 cm (5'9") with spiky black hair and blue eyes that can glow a bright magenta. He wears a black jacket that he keeps unzipped with skull-motif buttons (that have the text " Roen " on them ( ) ), zipper tag and sequin details on the pockets. The jacket has leopard print on the inside, which is not apparent on his in-game model. [5] Underneath, he wears a steel gray shirt with skull prints. He wears black cropped trousers and black buckled boots with red soles along with a black motorcycle glovelet on his left hand.
As a youth, Noctis had a delicate and boyish appearance with deep blue eyes and bangs. After suffering a grievous injury, Noctis sometimes used a wheelchair.
Ten years later Noctis's facial features have weathered and he has a beard. His jaw is more square-shaped, and his complexion is rough. He wears a more formal and sophisticated attire, befitting his regal standing: a black suit with gold jewelry accenting it, a black and gold pauldron on his left shoulder, a golden knee guard around his left knee, accompanied by a cape with intricate gold chains and black shoes. The outfit is similar to the one worn by his father, King Regis, but without stripes or neck ornaments, as it is tailored to him.

Alternate outfits [ ]

Main article: Noctis's attires

Noctis has alternate outfits available . One was available since the beginning of the game, and others are obtained by progressing in the story, from DLC (both free and paid) and from patches .

Though his three companions are not royalty , Noctis usually treats them as equals. His upbringing shines through, however, as reflected in his body language, poise, and posture in contrast to his team. He regularly dozes off; this is present from his early childhood. According to Final Fantasy XV Prologue Parting Ways , Noctis's personality changed following a childhood incident, making him more withdrawn despite having been a lively child before. In his teenage years, he appeared perpetually bored and uninterested in the things happening around him.
According to the Final Fantasy XV: Official Works , Noctis's overprotective upbringing has left him with poor interpersonal skills and he comes off as brusque with all but his closest friends. Having witnessed his father work as king has made Noctis respect the position and the dedication needed of a good sovereign, but also fear for the time he would need to assume the throne himself, making interactions with his father a struggle. [3]

Young Noctis and the Sword of the Father .
Director Hajime Tabata has described Noctis's relationship with his father thusly:
Noctis has grown up seeing his father as both a father figure and as the king of the country, so during the game he tries to grow as a person and develop with that image in mind with his father as a role model. Hajime Tabata [6]

In the Final Fantasy XV Collector's Edition Guidebook , Tabata describes Noctis as having experienced isolation in his youth, and fearing losing those close to him. Noctis's words and actions often stem from a fear of being unable to meet the expectations of those around him, but as a counterbalance he desires to please them. Tabata asked Yusuke Naora , one of the art directors for Final Fantasy XV , to look at Noctis as a real person and to depict his aging with realism rather than symbolism.
Noctis has dealt with a lot of emotional turmoil as his mother died when he was young and his father had to cater to the demands of the kingdom, leaving Noctis feeling alone. Nevertheless, he is not bitter over it, accepting that sacrifices had to be made. Noctis is still trying to figure out who he is, and struggles articulating his feelings. He keeps a lot bottled up, especially with confronting how he feels about his childhood friend Lunafreya. When Noctis struggles coping with things, he tends to avoid the issue and become even more withdrawn, such as when he avoids his duties or thinking about being the next king in Brotherhood Final Fantasy XV due to worry over his father's ailing health. When he acknowledges the situation is bad, his first instinct is to focus on himself rather than the people he's supposed to lead, or even his closest friends. He doesn't share the weight of his grief over the deaths of his loved ones, and instead tries to deal with it alone, further isolating himself and pushing others away.
He enthuses about the things he enjoys, and has a bit of an inflated ego, as noted by Gladiolus. He can be reckless, having to be held back by others, though this does not always stop him. He's playful, especially towards Prompto, his best friend, and is frequently snarky and sarcastic. Near the end of Noctis's journey, his friends note his increased confidence, and he has become more stern and resolute. He has learned to take on the responsibilities of his position, and does so without hesitation.
Noctis dislikes vegetables, much to Ignis's displeasure, who tries to encourage a healthy diet. Noctis and Prompto share a distaste for bugs and a love for animals, especially pets and chocobos . Noctis seems unaware that Iris has a crush on him, though obvious to everyone else. Noctis is also apparently a reckless driver, as implied by Ignis's nervous reaction to Noctis driving the Regalia over to the Disc of Cauthess .

King Raithwall had long white hair, mustache and a beard. He wore a golden helmet with wing ornaments and was draped head to foot in armor with intricate patterns. His long cape was frayed at the bottom. His weapon was the greatsword since known as the Sword of Kings .

As the king of a desert kingdom, Raminas dresses lightly in ornamental golden armor pieces and teal cloth. He is bald and has a white beard and brown eyes. He wears an elaborate diadem with tassels hanging to frame his face.

King Raminas was devoted to keeping peace and steering Dalmasca as a neutral party between the warring empires of Archadia and Rozarria , though he seems willing to sacrifice sovereignty for the sake of saving his people from further harm. Ashe looks up to him as a role model for what a good ruler should be like, and ultimately abandons her quest for power after realizing that Dalmasca had never used its Dusk Shard as a weapon for conquest, instead opting for peace and diplomacy.

Regis is a rapidly aging man with gray hair and green eyes. In his youth, his hair was black. He wears a black suit with thin white stripes and a black cape. He wears a gold knee guard on his right leg and black shoes. Regis uses a cane to walk, and wears a silver, hornlike crown on the right side of his head, held behind his ear. The crown somewhat resembles Bahamut who has curved horns on his helmet in his true appearance and on the Kingsglaive emblem . The golden ornaments on Regis's cane and braces have wing motifs, like the royal arms do.
As a Lucii , Regis retains most of his appearance, but wears a suit of armor, and a helmet that covers his head and face.

Regis believes those of his royal bloodline are strong of heart and will, but is deeply saddened by the fate that awaits Noctis as his son's safety is his first priority. He helps Noctis grow and shows him what it means to be a king. Out of everyone he meets, Regis has the greatest impact on Noctis's life. [2] Regis wants his son to find his own path, and as such, asks Ignis , Gladiolus , and Prompto to not guide Noctis, but rather stand by his side as he finds his own way. Although he may be willing to do things that would be considered an outright betrayal of those who trust him to ensure that the prophecy comes to pass, Regis feels guilt over it and hopes that future generations will understand his motives. He regrets all the times he failed to save those under his care, such as the fate of the Tenebraen royal family.
