[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Class Zero (Playable Characters)]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px-FFAgito_Characters.jpg
A special class within the Suzaku Peristylium assembled as a preemptive strike force in case the other three nations of Oriense break the Pax Codex and set their sights upon Rubrum.
----
!!Universal tropes:
* BadassCape or ScarfOfAssKicking: Except Seven.
* BadassCrew
* BandOfBrothers
* ChildSoldiers: The latest foray into this theme since [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII the SeeD]]. It is explained in universe as the Suzaku Crystal can only grant [[ChildrenAreSpecial magic to the young]] and as people age their skill with magic diminishes.
* TheChosenOne: Each student is a part of Operation Apostle where he/she is striving to become the [[MessianicArchetype Agito]], who was prophesied to appear at "[[ApocalypseHow Finis]]".
* CodeName: All but Rem and Machina; however, they have no canon real names. They were originally going to, but the developers chose to only use the codenames. Since they were raised together by Arecia, they may well have forgotten their real names.
* FlatCharacter: Excluding Machina and Rem.
** [[spoiler:Turns out this is a deliberate arrangement by Arecia, who specifically conditioned such personalities since childhood as a way to prevent Finis and open Etro's Gate without the slaughter of billions at cost of their lives.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: The principal objective of Operation Apostle is exactly this. [[spoiler:They succeed in the normal ending (no matter what between-mission tasks the player did in between), but in the secret ending Arecia pulls off a CosmicRetcon to [[EverybodyLives spare them their grim fate]] and [[EarnYourHappyEnding allow them to live as a happy, if sometimes wacky, class]].]]
* HyperspaceArsenal
* [[spoiler:IDontWantToDie]]: [[spoiler:Dying hurts! And it's frightening! They're only kids, [[TearJerker what did you expect?...]]]]
* NumericalThemeNaming: With the exception of Machina and Rem.
* OnlyOneName: Again, all but Machina and Rem.
* PantyShot: In a disturbing glimpse into the mindset of the developers, the texturers put detail into giving each female playable character a unique and distinct set of underwear under their skirts, when previously during development, there was just going to be shadows and shading. May be justified due to how noticable the shadows could seem at times
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:As L'Cie.]]
* RedMage: As students of a WizardingSchool they all can use offensive, healing and support magic (in varying levels of proficiency). They are even called this by Qator.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Of course it ''is'' both a WizardingSchool and a MilitarySchool.
** NonUniformUniform: Each one is slightly unique one way or another.
* SummonMagic: Any character can summon a WarGod at [[CastFromHitpoints the expense of all his/her HP]], rendering him/her unusable for the rest of the mission.
* TragicDream: [[spoiler:In the tie in novel all of them mention one, except Nine who can't think of anything. Ace to own a Chocobo Ranch, Deuce to be a musician, Jack to be a comedian, Trey a scholar, Queen a teacher of traditional subjects rather then magic and weaponry, Cinque to travel the world, Cater to find love, Eight to become a competitive martial artist, Seven to make an orphanage for the children who lost their parents in the war, Sice to be a chef and King a police officer. Machina and Rem share a dream of rebuilding the county.]]
* TrueCompanions: [[spoiler:Unto the bitter end. They even [[HoldingHands hold hands]] as they die.]]
* WackyHomeroom: [[spoiler:In the secret ending.]]
* WeaponOfChoice
* ZettaiRyouiki: Most of the females score various ranks.

----
* BadassCape: Special mention for being longer then the other students with a HighCollarOfDoom.
* BladeSpam: His ''Assault Mode'' especially.
* CastFromHitpoints: As per its standard in the series the ''Darkside'' attack drains Machina's health.

** ThisIsADrill
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Rem. [[spoiler:They are said to live HappilyEverAfter after the credits.]]
** ChildhoodMarriagePromise: With Rem, they keep it too.

* EverythingIsBetterWithSpinning: Wields drill-rapiers and has a special attack named ''Spin Drive''.
* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile: At the end of the normal ending's Distant Epilogue, 50 years after Class Zero died defeating Cid, and having completed recording their deeds and leading Oriense to the DawnOfAnEra, 67-year-old Machina dies with a smile, his wife Rem by his side.]]
* [[SheIsAllGrownUp He Is All Grown Up]]: It had been seven years since he and Rem last saw each other and back then Machina was even shorter then her.

* LifeDrain: His ''Drain Sword'' attack.
* ManInWhite: [[spoiler:As a Byakko l'Cie.]]
* ManlyTears: [[spoiler:Shed these after Rem dies accidentally ''by his hands'', and after he and the revived Rem finds the rest of Class Zero dead, their mission to defeat Cid a bittersweet success.]]
* MaskOfPower: [[spoiler: Qun'mi's helmet.]]
* MeaningfulName: Named after the phrase "DeusExMachina" -- "God out of the Machine". [[spoiler:Makes a lot of sense once it is revealed that he and Rem are the key to breaking the near-endless cycle of destruction that has trapped Oriense.]]
* MightyGlacier: His attacks are a bit slow but hits hard and the sheer number of hits his BladeSpam can do racks up damage.
** LightningBruiser: When using his [[SuperMode Assault Mode]] skill.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: He reports directly the Rubrum council keeping tabs on Class Zero and Arecia. Later he also infiltrates the Milites forces as a Byakko l'Cie but his [[LaserGuidedAmnesia deteriorating memories]] caused by the l'Cie power make him a [[BecomingTheMask loyal to the Milites Crystal]].]]
* NewTransferStudent
* SliceAndDiceSwordsmanship: Machina slashes an awful lot with his rapiers despite them not being edged weapons.
* StormOfBlades: Machina's ''Sword Field'' skill is this combined with ReverseShrapnel.
* [[spoiler:TearsOfRemorse: In the normal ending, he breaks down in these upon finding Class Zero dead from exhaustion in their victory over Cid, apologizing for prejudging them earlier for their failure to save Izana.]]
* ReluctantWarrior: Outright [[WarIsHell fears and despises fighting and war]] -- the same violence that claimed his brother's life.
* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Brother]]: His prejudice of Class Zero is because of Class Zero's involvement in the mission where Izana was killed and had done nothing to stop his death. [[spoiler: This very reason is also why he becomes TheMole of Class Zero for the Rubrum Council and pulls a FaceHeelTurn by accepting Milites' l'Cie power.]]

----
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Machina. [[spoiler:They are said to have lived HappilyEverAfter at the end of the normal ending.]]
** ChildhoodMarriagePromise: With Machina, they keep it too. Rem's unique accessory is even an engagement ring.
* DanceBattler: With a weapon named Dancing Dagger, it's no surprise really.

* HairColorDissonance: In some released screenshots her light brown hair has looked purple, or darker to the point it's almost black.

* MeaningfulName: Her kanji comes from "rei" and "mu", meaning "Not Zero".
* NewTransferStudent
* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler: When she volunteers to be a l'Cie, she has to fight Milites' l'Cie. The problem here is, the enemy l'Cie is Machina, and they don't recognize each other because of Machina's LaserGuidedAmnesia and the fact that Machina is wearing Milites' full body uniform including the mask. She's so close from winning if not for Machina's mask slipping off and distracting her of [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice his rapiers from piercing her.]] It takes a DeusExMachina in the form of [[PhysicalGod Arecia]] for her to get better.]]

* SilkHidingSteel

* ShownTheirWork: He wears an archery glove, a three-fingered glove used to protect an archer's hand from the bowstring.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: So he'd like to think. However, this only extends to book smarts.

* EyepatchOfPower
* FourStarBadass: Despite being a general, he's usually found in the thick of things on the front lines.
* LightIsNotGood: Considering the name of his Magitek armor, "Gabriel", which has obvious angelic connotations.

[[folder:Lorican Alliance]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lorica_coat_of_arms350_5705.jpg
Lorica is the northern nation of Oriense, whose heraldic beast is [[TheFourGods Genbu, the Black Tortoise]], and whose traditional color is green. What little is known about Lorica is that its people directly intake the powers of the Crystal to increase their strength, increasing their body size in turn, and most of its citizens serve as warriors.
----

!Gilgamesh
->Voiced by: KazuyaNakai (JP)

A l'Cie of Genbu who has forgotten his Focus. May or may not be [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV the usual Gilgamesh]] who roams dimensions (and games).
-----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Only natural considering [[spoiler: he was the ruler of the Lorican Alliance.]]
* {{BFS}}. It puts [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII the Buster Sword and Masamune]] to shame, it does.
* [[spoiler:BonusBoss: NG+.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: He has forgotten his past as Ruler of the Lorican Alliance and his friend Enkidu. Only regaining them during the story.]]
* LargeAndInCharge: [[spoiler: Before his nation was destroyed.]]
* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: This particular design of Gilgamesh debuted as DLC for him in ''[[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia 012]]'' to [[EarlyBirdCameo advertise his upcoming appearance]] in this game.
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: His failure to save his nation when it was destroyed by a Ultima Bomb.]]
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: [[spoiler:In his BonusBoss fights.]]
* [[spoiler:RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething]]
* {{Samurai}}: His armor design gives off this motif.
* StartOfDarkness: If he is the same Gilgamesh seen throughout the series, this is likely where his story begins. No other game has given him an origin story thus far, and the final battle with him takes place in the Rift, fitting in perfectly with his fate to [[WalkingTheEarth Wander the Multiverse]] through the Rift that connects the worlds.
* WorthyOpponent: As he wanders without his focus. [[spoiler: He decides to leave after Class Zero doesn't put up a good enough fight for him.]]

!Enkidu
->Voiced by: Hiroshi Shirokuma (JP)

A childhood friend of Gilgamesh and a fellow Genbu l'Cie.

[[folder:Kingdom of Concordia]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Concordia_coat_of_arms350_2685.jpg
Concordia is the eastern nation of Oriense, whose heraldic beast is [[TheFourGods Souryuu (aka Seiryu), the Azure Dragon]], and whose traditional color is blue. Notable for its distinctive oriental style, Concordia is a matriarchal society where almost every top government position is held by women (with the sole exception of the King, who holds a largely ceremonial role). Led by the Queen, Andoria, Concordians are known for tapping into the Sōryū Crystal to communicate with dragons and utilize them in combat.

* NiceHat
* KnightInShiningArmor

* OverlyLongName
* PatrioticFervor
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:Andoria's murder (while in Class Zero's refuge) automatically places the entire Class under Celestia's RoaringRampageOfRevenge -- it's not until she learns of Milites' treachery that she rejoins the party for good.]]
* [[spoiler:ScaledUp]]
* TurnTheOtherCheek: [[spoiler: After the truth about Andoria's death is revealed,]] she immediately helps the Class Zero taking down Cid, [[spoiler:never mentioning the fact that her child was killed in the previous battle against them afterward.]]

* [[spoiler:TheQuisling: After Andoria's death, he effectively takes over Concordia and signs a peace treaty with Milites, unaware of its role in Andoria's murder. But it turns out he has another motive of this...]]
* [[spoiler: TheStarscream: He actually wanted to kick Andoria from the throne since a long time ago, and change Concordia back to the time where men were in charge of the nation. At the first sight of Milites' offer for it, he quickly takes the bait.]]
