Who is the Cloaked Stranger

DaHammerCrush · October 04, 2015, 09:33:32 pm

@Hyraldelita totally don't want Elric to affirm any of these answers, we all want to play it out and see who got it when the re-release comes out, but that said I am bummed that the hit got nerfed before I could get that one...

I've had 2 names come to me in the last few days while playing through. This first one fits but I'm 99% sure that its not him and that is Urahara Kisuke. He teeters between the scientific and the fantastic, his powers would make for awesome FFT adaptations, he would be a behind the scenes type of puppeteer, and is an advocate for the good guys, but since its supposed to be a video game character first and Urahara is an Anime character first.

Second idea has some legs... I think, or at least it would be cool and that's Athena. I figure that all of the characters so far are from either a classic RPG or a third person action RPG. in the same vein of DMC is GOW and the main benefactor of Kratos is Athena. She's a god so in some way, shape or form would have access to arcane knowledge. She could fit and might hearken the emergence of another great player in the from of Kratos.

I have a few other ides but I'm not going to drop a billion guesses in one post

P.S. if that person is not revealed in Ch. 2 you're officially trolling all of us

Where was there ever indication or hint that the reveal would be in chapter 2??

Yeah, the convolution got pretty insane there, Toshiko. There's a few good reasons I stopped liking the series so much after 2. But 1 is still a wonderful standalone game.
And I agree about liking FFV for not taking itself seriously.

@Crush
Elric's right. The CS only reveals their identity in a post-credits scene at the very end of the game. It's Raiden from after MGS4, repenting for stealing Snake's spotlight during 2.

DaHammerCrush · October 05, 2015, 01:00:16 am

I kinda saw that coming for a bit, and its still definitely Raiden he's the best.

hahaaha i know i know they would never say it, but i just wanted to have a written proof, if i get the right char xD

and Elric LOL for that piture hahahahahah

DaHammerCrush · October 05, 2015, 12:51:08 pm

Ezio - Desmond Miles or Lara Croft Either would be awesome

Looks like we might be guessing for a few years if this doesn't get revealed till CH. 3+

HAHAHA!!!

Hyraldelita · October 14, 2015, 04:45:18 am

HAHA, I was wondering when someone would suggest this.

While this is not true, I will say that the Cloaked Stranger was originally someone else, and was then changed later on due to some comments we received (which no longer exist, cuz I'm a sneaky bastard).

Hyraldelita · October 23, 2015, 03:08:25 am

lol While this is not true <---- off course is not XD

i just said it as a joke but that would have been funny if you still had to decide since maybe we'll find out in chapter 4 or even in post game in the ending or as a sidequest XD you never know u_u

Never Reveal it even in the ending sequence, just leave it hanging.

Well... it's out. It's been fun guys, but now you don't have to guess anymore.

*shakes fist*

WEEGIEEEEEEEEE

Maybe the Cloaked Stranger is the one who brought Dante, Snake, Link and Cloud to Ivalice. If we stick with that we may discover who this being is xD

Edit: My real guess is Impa or Zelda based on what I've seen, actually.
