I just thought who Gogo could be. he is Vargas, maybe after

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Sabin whupped his butt

, he fled in terror and dcided to be Gogo and learned how to mime from those weird dudes in the cave you get him.

Well, there is some doubt as to whether Vargas actually dies. Unless you cheat and do more than 20,000 damage in one character’s turn, he doesn’t die the way other bosses do. (He just expresses surprise that Duncan taught Sabin Pummel, and then Vargas disappears.)

Let's see, there are several possibilities of who Gogo is.

I always kinda had my own theory that Gogo was Relm's mother...Of course, the only thing I had going for that was that Gogo had the same colour scheme as Relm and Strago, and that he/she used staffs as his/her base weapon. But it's highly unlikely that Square would have put in evidence of Shadow being Relm's father, and not dropping the slightest hint abou her mother. Good lord, I must have some other base for that theory....yeesh.

More logically, Gogo was just some dude who hung out in a cave. As it always appeared....

About what Dingleberry said, Gogo couldn't be Arny because Gogo's only 5'5, Schwartzinegger is way over 6' tall. And no one ever said that Gogo had a muscular build. And what's the eye deal? I never saw any similarity. Maybe that's just me.
And "That Guy", uh, not quite.

*Grins* I love how quickly you took that theory down, with full seriousness and all...

actually.... i read somewhere that Gogo has the possibility of being Darryl.... which is actually possible.... as Setzer said they found the Falcons wreck a year later.... he would have added about darryls body if it was also found, yet the possibility of it being decomposed is high.... i still think it may be darryl because the wreck of the falcon could have been on that triangular island and darryl could have gotten amnesia that had never healed from it and been sucked up by a zone eater, and found scraps of clothing, shrouding herself in it

Quote

Really, honestly and truly.... I think Gogo is just an extra charactertin the game with no hidden meanings behind him/her. There doesn't have to be a conspiracy theory or reason behind every sinvle thing, does there?

My thoughts ex%ctly.

--------------------

We make games. Period.

there are a few things that i think are odd about the game to begin with i will make these points then go into to gogo,

First: when you are fighting your way on to the floating content i think its setzer thats says lets JUMP onto that thing, and if indeed they did jump on it how come the black jack is below the island when you land.

Second: the serpant trench is much more curved and such when you ride in it with gau how come its straight when it submerges from the water.

Thrid: locke is said to of been looking for the pheniox in one town a guy was saying something about him looking for the ledgendary treasure to revive souls or something, and it gives no mention on how he gets to a place that can only be entered from the air let alone how her survives with all those mosters in there.

Fourth: this is one that puzzles even me if you talk to gasthuls(for give me if spelled his name wrong) it talks about the star shaped mountan range where his treasure was hidden, how could locke have known where it was and how to get there unless he talked to him?

Fifth: Gashtul could have not fully hit the ground at first he could have landed on the deck of the black jack and fell just like the other and survived that way.

but the one thing that puzzles me more and more about that game is this one fact. gogo can mimic magic,blitz,swordtechs,tools, and everything els. so here goes my theory.

Gogo could be daryl cause of this reason or gashtul for this reason: as you have mention gogoleft into another demision, could i be possible that he had another mime crystle that he lost while he was travleing to that demension that happened to apper on that island, if you think about it that would make sense as to how the power was obtained by the person, or that gogo was that crystal and possesed one of the two people to right some wrong that had happened but also to help that person get a second chance at something. as for the zone eater part it is quite possible that the zone eater isnt really a monster at all but an illusion to hide a portal into another diamention i mean dont you think its odd that a creature like that would have such a huge cave inside of it? that is my theroy let me know what you think.

My newest thought of who Gogo is, he is really the Missing Esper in the blank on the Menu Screen, he is a esper that i7 a party member that can use abilitys o' the other party members. Or he is a Imperial Soldier in disguise.

*shrugs* my theory still stands with me anyways

What if he was a Goomba?

There was the Goomba King in Paper Mario, which is also a very clever RPG, but in a different league of its own. Oh yeah, and the large Goombas in Mario 64.

I think that the theory of Gogo being Darryl is the most clever and fitting. Did the Japanese version of the game add anything to the Gogo scenario? And how does the Japanese version tie into all those extra rare items?

Quote (Yuki Usagi @ 20th May 2004 16:26)

What about Relm's mother? If she wasn't actually dead. "Sketch" is copying a monster's random attack and "Mimic" is copying an ally's previous attack. They're not that different. Maybe Gogo is related to the Blue Mages in Thamasa?

"Gogo" in Japanese means "afternoon" - maybe because you can't get Gogo until late in the game? "Go" is also Japanese for "five". Does 55 have any significance? 5+5?

Really though I think asking "who is Gogo" is like asking "who is Mog". Mog is just Mog. He's a Moogle. Just like Gogo is just Gogo, a Mimic. I think he's just there to be a fun character to find. He's the most secret of the secret characters because he's never seen or mentioned in the game unless you find him. If he'd had more of a backstory that tied into the rest of the game then there might have been hints about him that would have made him less of a secret.

I will just take this theory about Relm's mom dying...okay stick with me here...Relm's mom died because Shadow is a ninja (assassin) who incidentally has the WWF championship belt. Shadow killed her because he's a ninja and she just plain annoyed him to no end. That's the end of that.

As for Gogo, yes go is japenese for 5 (I will exclude afternoon for evening which is more convenient). But what I find odd about the name now that you mention it is that 5+5=10.

10 is also binary for 2. So the name just seems to be all inclusive. 2 instances of go. Or if you wanna go even farther you can take it as 5*5=25, which can be broken down to either 2+5=7, indicating completion (the number 7) as he was the final character added into the game (I'm just taking a liberty there) or 2*5=10, which loops back to the binary. Our last two bits are 5/5=1 and 5-5=0, which if you cram them together become 10. Binary again.

As for who Gogo really is, there is really no conclusive evidence as to if he is any character mentioned in the game. Sure Gogo could be Daryl, sure Gestahl (but I think the point there is that he died). He could be anybody that your imagination desires or he could be none of those people.

In the end I think he was just a character that was added in just to be a secret. And also to drive theorists crazy.

--------------------

Now the story's played out like this. Just like a paperback novel. Let's rewrite an ending that fits.

I know this doesn't mean much, but Gogo's official height is 5'5, and as Yuki Usagi pointed out, "Go" is Japanese for "five". So, essentially:

Gogo = fivefive = 55, or 5'5

Nothing much, but it seems an odd connection.

--------------------

Wow. 1,000 posts.

I miss you all now that I'm in boarding school! ;_;

hmm i have noticed that gogo looks surpiseingly like those gaurds in vector that greet you when you enter after the espers flee the gate, could it be one of them, maybe they hung up there weapons in another way? though i dont know anything about there pallet so i dont know if there are any simalarities. maybe infact gogo is a mutant robot zombie from the future who came to the past to take it over and knows that these guys will beat the only person who could stand in his way. however unlikely that sounds....

I agree GoGo is to powerfull to actuallybe of that time

Now seriously
I always like to think GoGo was Daryll...... never thought why, only thought that because my sis thought so

Maybe GoGo is really just a character added to have Mimic in the game (wich is kinda like Cid and Bomb.... they always appear) and then thy thought hey we had GoGo protect Mimic in FFV why not give him that name and update his sprite a little?

--------------------

The hated shall be victorious, my life shall overcome. I shall be the loved one!

Gogo could be Emperor Gestahl after he got pushed off the floating island. Gestahl was a strong character because he did Merton and stuff to Kefka, so it would be understandable for him to have an ability like mimic...or maybe Gogo is just Gogo.

I don't know if this has already been brought up since I am too lazy to read 6 pages of posts but: Gogo can't be Daryl.

If you go to her tomb after getting the Falcon, and talk to the monument at the end it says "DARYL SLEEPS HERE."

Yeah, Daryl is dead and buried. Sheesh. Why do people still use that therory of Gogo being Daryl, when she is very much dead?

It has also been discussed that just because a sign says it, doesn't nesicarily mean she is dead and buried. I can't imagine why, but it could be possible that the grave is fake, and Daryll is really alive.

An in game conspiricy? why would some one want to cover up the fact that she is still alive?

Actually I think the game makes it quite clear she isn't buried there...Setzer didn't find the body. Not that I support the Daryl theory...but I'm just saying.

--------------------

"That Light has bestowed upon me the greatest black magic!"

It mentions the wrecked Falcon being recovered, but if I remember correctly it never says he didn't find her body.

Also, as has already been pointed out, it's a bit hard for the deceased to 'rest' or 'sleep' somewhere if their body isn't buried in that specified place. Judging by the epitaph, the monument clearly looks to be a headstone, indicating that she's indeed dead. Well, it seems that way to me anyway...

I know that i'm a new member but i just want to say that I think that gogo is who you make of him , he could be the brother of kefka ,or he could be the gogo from ff5 , he could even be a dead zombie who louks revenge on kefka caus kefka has destroyd the town of mobliz and manny people whit that town. So like I said gogo is ho you make of him.

--------------------

They may be monsters, but they're sea monsters. What're they gonna do? Flop around on deck and suffocate at us threateningly?

Typos galore .
That IS basically what Gogo is, an Easter Egg from Square for players to decide on. But what fun is that? That is a perfect way to kill a topic.

Uh, anyway, about the Daryll headstone, just because it SAYS it, doesn't mean she necissarily IS there. Gotta think about these things

That be a truth. If you were in an airship wreck, what do you think the odds of your body being recovered are? Even if Darryl really IS in there, she's most likely just a toe or something! But the rest... could be gogo! The robes would hide the hideous scarring!

--------------------

Uwao. aooh! I'm Gau!
I'm your friend!
Let's travel together!

No, no I'm sure of it... it must be... yes, its Testper. Gogo = Testper

"I'm a General, not some love starved twit" - Celes
"Although Edgar showers his attention on the ladies, most are smart enough to pay him no attention. Oh! King Edgar!" - Figaro Castle Inn Attendant

My reasons for thinking Darryl is Gogo

1: Darryl's ship crashes on the very island where you find Gogo

2: Darryl's ship was recovered, not her body (so the dead and buried thing is no
good)

3: (This one is the kicker for me) In a cutscene with Setzer, he mentions that
DARRYL DID GOOD IMPRESSIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE. Like mimicing? Anybody?

4: We also hear that Darryl was vain. As in, couldn't stand to have oher people
see a scarred body so she covers herself in clothes and robes.

While I realize that even with all this, it's not as blatant as, say the Shadow/Realm connection, that relationship at least tells us that the game has relationships without in-game confirmations. Put all that evidence together, and you get more of a coherent storyline than you do with Gogo being anybody else.

One thing about the "gogo is gogo" idea. It's a good theory (bit of a cop-out, if you ask me), but every other character in the game, Mog, Umaro, everybody, is given a little SOMETHING of a story. Mog is part of a non-human society, Umaro is taken care of by Mog, the point is that everybody who's in your group joins because they have some REASON for joining. Gogo? Well, maybe she recognizes Setzer, and joins to be near him.

As for why she doesn't reveal herself to be Darryl when she sees Setzer, well, I think a little amnesia isn't too much to ask for somebody who's gone through what she's gone through.

Whoa. That's basically every fact that could link that theory. That's why I rather believe that one.
Another thing, there's a rumored cutscene between Setzer and Gogo at the Ending (though its just that, a rumour) .

.

Setzer also said that she was (what did he say? I'll just say) rather stubborn. So she was probably so ashamed of her accident that she didn't want to reveal herself even to her bf.

Where do you see all these cut scenes? Or am I forgetting something from the part at her "tomb?"
