Arciela is a capable support unit who covers a lot of roles, able to StatusBuffDispel enemies, provide strong auras to allies, healing, a rare HP Attack Silence, and BRV recovery. Her initial two abilities change her standard HP attack to Harmonic Displacement or Darkest Hour, which allow her to restore BRV or deal more damage to debuffed targets, respectively. Her "Heirloom" buff from her EX ability also stacks with her other buffs, allowing her party to realize their maximum offensive potential.

* CommonalityConnection: A bit surface level, but with her Force Partner Quina Quen, both love delicious food (although Arciela's tastes tend to lean towards being a SweetTooth). One could also argue both use enemy abilities, Quina by being a Blue Mage, and in ''FFXI'' Naakual's Vengeance actually summons a Naakual (a guardian of the Adoulin region) to deliver a devastating attack, although this part of Arciela's ability is not reflected in ''DFFOO''.

* MacGuffinSuperPerson: Selh'teus actually gave his self to become a living Mothercrystal, with a power similar to the Crystals of Light and Darkness. As a result, his very presence in the World of Respite can potentially balance the world much like it did for Vana'diel, although this also makes him a target to those like Eald'narche, Kam'lanaut, Xande, and Exdeath. After the Crystal of Darkness is destroyed, Selh'teus ends up having to become a LivingMacGuffin for this world as well, as his presence helps keeps balance with the Crystal of Light that is shouldering the burden all on it's own.

However, in doing so, he doomed the rest of the Kuluu to lose their human forms and cursed them to be Beastmen, disfigured monsters unable to control their anger and resentment.

Recruited in Act 4, Chapter 5, Part 1 of the main story. After Materia and Spiritus are sealed away into the crystals, Selh'teus appears in the world as a ''third'' crystal pillar between the light and dark crystals. Immediately causing a disturbance from his presence alone, several characters seek him out for their own ends or to ensure he doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Selh'teus himself is only interested in protecting Vana'diel again, though comes to realize that by helping the party defeat their foes he will protect all of their worlds.



Selh'teus is a powerful attacker and support character with a transforming HP attack and EX recharge capabilities. As such, he can either function as the party's main attacker or someone who enables other attackers, with a potent HP Poison effect of his own on top of that.

* CommonalityConnection: A fairly straight-forward one with Astos; Astos is a 'black crystal replete with darkness', Selh'teus is an incarnation of the sixth Mothercrystal of Vana'diel. They combine their crystal powers together during their Force Attack.

They combine their crystal powers together during their Force Attack. In addition, they both had been forced to spend a long time separated from their allies, acting on their own and hesitant to call them their friends as much as they both desperately wanted to.


Added DiffLines:

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Selh'teus needs some convincing from Astos to acknowledge the fact that Prishe and the others consider him a dear friend, just as Selh'teus himself does in turn; he just never thought they would ever think of him the same way.


Added DiffLines:

* TheDogBitesBack: When facing the party, Eald'narche is put on the back foot and calls to Kam'lanaut for help. Remembering his own humiliation at his older brother's hands, Kam'lanaut just watches and laughs, gratified that Eald'narche experienced the same sense of betrayal he once did. Later on, the two join forces again after Kam'lanaut insists that Eald'narche considers him another person rather than just a tool. They are ''both'' Zilart, and thus superior to the "lesser races," after all.


Added DiffLines:

* EvilVirtues: When he finally stands up to his brother and gives him a [[EvilIsPetty taste of his own medicine]] by showing him the humiliation Kam'lanaut once suffered at his hands, he demonstrates that he has grown a backbone and has some self-respect rather than just being his brother's tool. Even more surprising, it does not result in a true betrayal on either side -- both brothers show a renewed determination to carry out their goals, this time as something closer to equals, demonstrating cooperation.
