Last member of the party to join, and I think the least developed? I genuinely can't remember a thing about him or his motivations after he joins.

He's the Monk of the party but he has basically no story relevance.

basically. He has some short short scenes in like disc 2 IIRC (like 50% way through) then joins your part in disc 3 I think around like the 70% mark.

His personality is a silent bounty hunter, so he doesnt do much after he joins either.

but that flow though, cant even be mad cause the hairs on point

As others have said last member to the party, little reason to be a part of the party, silent but not cool, odd design, and in my opinion the least interesting team mate when it comes to combat.

If they ever do a sequel or side story, Amarant should be the lead.

because he's the one we know the least about.

Hes the least relevant party member (well, Quina is close competition for that too). Basically FF9s equivalent to Cid from FF7 or Selphie from FF8.

More FFVI's Umaro. Cid is pretty critical in VII, to the point that he's the leader for a later part of the game, while Selphie has well over 20x the dialog that Amarant has.

Amarant is kind of the anti-party member. He has no goals, has no purpose, and doesnt want to be connected to anyone. Yet he does end up connecting with Zidane and learning that people dont need a reason to do things. Sometimes it is just doing that is enough.

But yeah he really needed more time.

Freya is the real tragedy though. One of the coolest character designs ever (seriously, they made a rat woman cool and incredibly sympathetic at the same time), gave her the most tragic events, and then she is sidelined for most of the game after that, when it becomes the Vivi and Garnet show.

The game is great, but it is so good that I wanted to see more of these guys. If the remake is real, Amarant, Freya, and Beatrix all need more.

Quina is fine how she is. She works as the weirdo of the party who kind of just tags along. But she does have that really great scene with Vivi, and the cooking scene where she actually says a lot of poignant things,

Freya should have joined Steiner when he went off with Beatrix. It would have given her some really good opportunity to sort shit out and have a proper growth arc.

Shadow in FF6 is the same way. Theres no impact on the story. In 6 its Terra, celes, Edgar and Locke as your ma8ns that drive the story

9 its Garnet, Vivi, zidane. Everybody else has little impact

12 same its really Ashe and Bosch. The other 4 members have litrle story impact.

Shadow has a bunch of dreams about his past in WoR. You can only see them if he's in your party though. Through some not so subtle equipment, you can piece together that he's Relm's father.

Cid has stuff thats useful to the party, and hes the leader for like 5 minutes when no one else is willing to step up, but I wouldnt say hes got much development compared to the others nor is he an overly interesting character.

He had development in optional ATEs that I think are a little more obscure to trigger. I remember seeing them on my first playthrough and not my second. Still severely underdeveloped compared to the main team even with that in mind.

Hes totally optional though. There is no requirement to recruit him along with Mog, Umaro, Momo. Even Strago and Relm are optional in WOR. Their addition to the main storyline is miminal

I love Final Fantasy 9, but I have always hated box covers and movie posters like these, where the designer just gathers up the renders and photos of the main characters, and very LAZILY line them up from left to right across the picture. The picture has no story, no heart, and no effort.

They should either used an Amano picture, or did what Final Fantasy 7 did.

I just realized Amarant and Zidane's relationship is a kinda hilarious reversal of Zidane and Dagger's:

Zidane: I love you.
Dagger: Can't we just be friends?
Zidane: ... I guess.

Amarant: I want to kill you.
Zidane: Can't we just be friends?
Amarant: ... I guess.

Literally just "Yeah, sure, whatever."

Hence why he is the game's Setzer, versus Amarant being Umaro.
