It’s Getting Busy Around Here

Which is a good thing, but that also means we have less time to tell you what’s going. As well as “Character of the Week”, and our Wave 1 guide which will take a while to complete.

But, we are here to sell cards, so it’s a good thing.

Dissidia Final Fantasy Collection Set 2023 came, and we still have a few left. If you’re interested pick one up. We’ll also throw in a coupon code for you FIVE. You can use it on anything. Not just the Dissidia collection.

We also grabbed some Flesh and Blood – Bright Lights, but those flew straight out of our hands before we even listed them. We do have singles for Bright Lights available on our TCGplayer store. Why use a TCGplayer store? Well it helps us list singles faster, and we know that some people don’t like shopping at a lesser known store, so we use Tcgplayer as the middle man. Plus, it doesn’t slow down the website.

Going forward we shall turn our Character of the week into Character of the Month. Which will give us time to take care of business with Beyond Destiny just around the corner.

Cid Pollendina

“Ahh, go shave your ears! Doggone…”

“An engineer in Baron who knows more about building airships than anyone. Cid is the chief mechanic for the airships used by the Baron Red Wings, and is idolized by his apprentices. He treats Cecil like his own flesh and blood, having taken an interest in the boy since Cecil’s childhood. After Cecil becomes a Paladin and returns to Baron Castle, he reunites with Cid. The two of them leave together on the airship Enterprise. Although Cid largely stays away from the front lines, he aids the party by making improvements to the airship.”

– Taken from the Ultimania

The Father of a Daughter that has no name, or at least we never find out what her name is.

Cid Pollendina, a master Engineer, that builds ships. Airships to be exact. Hails from the Kingdom of Baron, and knows Cecil, Rosa and Kain, well before the story begins.

Cid is one of the first to speak to Cecil after he is demoted from Captain of the Red Wings. Cid runs off shortly after as his daughter gets worried about Cid and scolds him when he gets home from work late. She worries that Cid will overwork himself.

Cid builds The Enterprise,and hides it from the King of Baron, which causes the King to imprison Cid. He is then rescued by Cecil, Tellah, Fang and the twins Palom & Porom.

Cid then goes on and lets Cecil and Co. use The Enterprise. And off the go to save the world.

Wakka, Wakka, Wakka

“My fastball gone broke da mouth.”

“A good-humored young man who travels the world as one of Yuna’s guardians. While he always looks out for others, his dependence on the teachings of Yevon oftentimes causes him to lose sight of reality. Wakka’s biggest passion is playing for and coaching his blitzball team, the Besaid Aurochs.”

-Character Guide from Dissidia Final Fantasy : Opera Omnia

Having lost his parents from one of Sin’s attacks, Wakka raised his younger brother Chappu with help from the villagers of Besaid. Wakka grew up alongside Lulu, an orphan as well, and ended up marrying her, fathers a child. And worries about raising it.

Wakka is a skilled Blitzball player, Captain of the Besaid Aurochs. Wakka retires during the game, but you can bring him out of retirement later on in the game. The Aurochs aren’t the greatest team, far from it, and upon hearing that Tidus is a star player, he asks him to join the team.

His hate for the Al-Bhed is clearly shown throughout the game. As he is always talking down to Rikku, until he finds out that Yuna is 1/2 Al-Bhed. And after the attack on the Al-Bhed by the Guado, he changes his tune completely.

Benjamin

“My allowance is only 2GP a month!”

“While on a solitary journey, this young lad is caught by catastrophe. Meeting a mysterious old man, he learns of the danger threatening the world and the possibility that there might just be a hero within him…”

– CollectaCard

We don’t know much about Benjamin’s past.

Benjamin’s story starts off when his village is destroyed, and an old man on a cloud tells him he is the chosen one, destined to defeat the Vile Four and save the Crystals.

Benjamin meets various Characters throughout the game that help him out. Kaeli, Tristam, Phoebe and Reuben. The four come in and out of the party throughout the game, with Kaeli being Benjamin’s main ally.

Zack Fair

“Hey, would you say I became a hero?”

Shinra SOLDIER: Second Class. He left his hometown and came to Midgar with dreams of becoming a hero.

He tackles his assignments head-on as he aspires to one day be promoted to SOLDIER: First Class.

-taken from the website

We all know how this ends. If you don’t move along, nothing to see here.

Spoilers.

It’s raining, Cloud is useless due to the Mako poisoning, and Shinra is looking for the 2 escaped test subjects.

That is pretty much the ending to Crisis Core. Zack Vs the Shinra Army. I remember that battle. It felt like it would never end. The Soldiers just kept coming and coming, until they finally took Zack down.

Before all of that happened, Zack was a teenager, that ran away from home to join the Shinra army and became a SOLDIER. Angeal took Zack under his wings, and hands down the Buster Sword to Zack, who then passes it on to Cloud at the end of his story.

Zack met Aerith after falling down through the roof of the Sector 5 church. They began dating, but that all ended when Zack was sent on a mission to Nibelheim, alongside Sephiroth and Cloud. After the events that transpired there Hojo took Zack and Cloud for his new experiment the “Jenova Reunion Theory”. Zack escapes, helping Cloud escape as well.
