alright I just got from another thread and someone asked about Gogo and that actually got me thinking, "who or what is Gogo exactly?" So that's my question for you guys my personal thoughts on Gogo is that he/she..it is..oh no I've forgotten his name..airship dude's supposedly dead wife(? or fiancee I cant remember)as something I do remember is that her body was never found
Adlai Stevenson.
Dammit, you beat me to it.Quote:

I am always amazed by the resistance offered to progress, even the most innocous progress. Imagine, if you will, jumping from one rickety bridge to another, with blind men running back and forth trying to push you off, and you will have some idea what legislating progress is like. The good news is that if you're pushed off, you can always climb back up and try again.

I suppose I could wear a hat, but then my teeth would fall out to spite me. I could get false ones, but doubtless then I would get fat just to prove my teeth work. The easiest course is to drape my whole body in robes and shawls and hope no one recognizes my eyes.

Quote #3
President Eisenhower continues to amaze me. He appears to be an ungainly and graceless man, but when [senator Robert] Taft makes a move, no matter how ridiculous, Eisenhower copies it with the skill of [French mime] Marcel Merceau. I haven't achieved such levels of mimicry with my own party, but I'm working on it.

Quote #4
The legislature is a frightening thing. To this day the state capitol building seems to me a beast ready to swallow me up; the very walls and ceilings seem to crush you as you walk through it.

Quote #5
Today we are plunged into a battle that is familiar to us. The enemies and the problems are the same. But the terrain is different. The world around us has changed and shifted so much we no longer recognize it.

Experience Egg
Stevenson's ex-wife once wrote a book about him called The Egghead and I. In 1952, one of his campaign slogans was "Stevenson - The Experienced Candidate."
daryl
Gogo should of been put in as a secret character in other games, IMO. Such a mysterious and colorful character it was.
My thought is it was just a hidden character put in for fun, as a Final Fantasy V reference. Or something.
although gogo has many interesting theoriesbut in the end there is no proof so i just think gogo is just some random mime called gogo. not to ruin the fun and all because discussing who gogo could be is interesting. the ones ives heard are he could be banon, daryl, gestahl , leo and adlai stevenson (whoever he is.) .i think gogo should be in more games but he is in FF5 as well but should be in more FFs.
Adlai Ewing Stevenson II (February 5, 1900 – July 14, 1965) was an American politician and statesman, noted for his skill in debate and oratory. He was twice an unsuccessful candidate for President of the United States (1952 and 1956).
in my estimation, possibly America's greatest statesman never to ascend to the Presidency (rivaled only, I think, by Ben Franklin), and he likely failed that only because Eisenhower was one of the most popular presidents we ever had by quite a significant margin.
yeah Daryl that was her name. So he/she is in FFV as well so it could be an allusion to Adlai Ewing Stevenson. Banon? Where do I know that name from I've heard people say Cid is Gogo cause of his dissperance shortly after you're deptare from that island as Celes, Leo was buried so I don't think it's him, Ghestal was attacked by the power of the goddesses and then pushed off a floating island if he survived that I will be very surprised
Banon was the guy who led the Returners before Kefka is assumed to have offed him before his time. Cid does not disappear from the island after Celes leaves, either, so Gogo certainly can't be him.
as far as I'm concerned, the Banon, Cid, Leo, Gestahl, Daryl, and whatever rumors are stretching things far too far. Gogo is just some random guy (or woman). Nothing more to it than that. If Square had wanted there to be an OMG GOGO = DARYL rumor, they'd have made it blindly obvious, and since Daryl has a grave in which she is buried, the odds of her being Gogo are pretty much nil.
(SPOILER)The Adlai quotes linking him to Gogo were fabricated, by the way, but it's become something of a tradition to mention the theory every time a Gogo thread comes up
Banon was the leader of the returners. And as for Cid dissapearing, as I recall he stays on the island if you feed him good fish and he recovers. Otherwise (SPOILER)he dies.Quote:

iirc, FF9 had references to virtually every FF character in virtually every preceding game. I don't remember that particular one, but it doesn't surprise me.
I remeber there was a reference to Kain, but I don't recall any other character references unless I missed somethingQuote:

There was definitely also a reference to Cloud. Two references, actually; the first one was the guy with a big sword who came by that store, and the second was "No cloud nor squall shall come between us." So, a reference to Squall as well.
I'm sure there were others, but it's been ages since I played the game. It's honestly the only of the new-school FFs that motivates me enough to replay it, but unfortunately my first disc is scratched so badly that it won't play the FMVs.
many threads about ff9 refrences in the ff9 section
Gogo is just...Gogo...
Gogo is someone unknown to us
One thing I can be sure of is that GoGo is Not Daryl or any woman.
I have proof he is a man.
umm I'd like to see this proof
cid can recover? I didn't know that, I thought him dissapering(I actually went back to that island to get the esper and see if cid ws still there but he was gone so either people diasspar when they die which is odd or he left)was the only thing possible in the game
Yeah, you have to feed him as many "Yummy Fish" as possible in as short a time as possible. You can tell what kind of fish you have by looking at your Rare Items.
There's also a fish that is called "Just a fish" which helps Cid feel better too. However, it's with the slower fish. Not the slowest one though. Sometimes there will be four fishes one really fast one, two slow ones, and then a really slow one. Get the fastest fish and then one of the two slower one. If it just says "fish" then get the other medium slow fish. And do not get the slowest fish if you are trying to save Cid. Not that it changes the main story if you save him anyways.
Oh, and Gogo is just Gogo. Likes others stated.
Yes. Regarding Cid, there's what one might call an invisible meter which begins at 120 and goes down by one every second. The "Yummy Fish" adds 32 to the meter, "Just a Fish" adds 16, "A Rotten Fish" reduces said meter by four, and the "Fish," despite sounding relatively benign, reduces it by 16. Cid dies if the meter ever falls below 30; the process ends and Cid is saved when it is elevated to ≥256.
As far as Gogo is concerned, the character is meant to be mysterious. There's nothing, really, to support any supposition or rumor pertaining to his/her identity. Regarding the Adlai rumor, details can be found here. Since this is EoFF, I'll note that Spatvark is quoted, and mentions Kishi and BOU. :)
GoGo is obviously just supposed to be a cross over from FFV. If you really want to know his identity, you should be looking for clues in that game rather than FFVI.
It's not a crossover so much as it's yet another reference to past games, although it's a heck of a reference.
Kinda makes ya wonder if he'll appear in FF XII :)
You want to know what Gogo is?
A mimic. That's it.
I just love giving him Blitz, Magic, and Tools as his abilities, though. He gets all magic spells, all Sabin's Blitzes, and then gets to wear a hard hat when he uses the tools! Muhahahahahahaha. Okay that was weird.
Anyway, I believe my own stuff about Gogo, I've written a fanfic about who he is, also tied to my one story "Who robbed Ultros' Grave?" and "Celes' Fallen Family"... needless to say, it was kinda strange...

Try to a equip GoGo with a "Girly" item...
I have to say that from Amano art, where you can see his eyes and hands, Gogo looked definitely like a man.
Gogo is a woman not a man she can equip woman armor. and she is a magical creature who may have assumed the body of a human (mimic) she can equip all weapons of a magic user and not the tools or heavy armor others can wear. what if she was an only esper left in disguise in hiding from kefka? espers can change to human form, and have a great amount of ability! lol try talking about that one for a bit....
Intriguing as that idea is, if Gogo were an Esper, (s)he would disappear at the end of the game. You can briefly see him/her for a couple of seconds on the airship during the ending sequence, though.
Half esper?Quote:

although many of these rumors are funny (specially the adlai one), gogo is just gogo. hes a mime. and he lives in a zone eater. (one wonders how he survived this time...)
and also a mime in ff5, hes just a really cool (and powerful) mime who square liked and put in ff6. end of story!!
gogos my favorite character! (c'mon, he can be every character, bar tina, he can morph...)
oh yeah, he cant morph. so hes not an esper. well, that doesnt prove he isnt an esper, but...
okay, now im confused:confused: :choc2:
I still think that Gogo's a guy. Or he's both sexes, like the hindu version of Shiva.
Gogo tricks us all, because he/she was made to make us have discussions like this.
I don't feel like finding the qoute, but I don't believe Dayrl was burried, she may have a grave but you don't need a body for a grave. I believe its either daryl, or Al Sharpton
Al Sharpton? wtf...
i recall reading somewhere that gogo is NOT the ff5 gogo. i think the link in the star wars quote thred took me there. anyway, i think gogo may be sort of a title, like, given to the master mime of the generation. as to his name, well, he isn't supposed to have a name. he's just... gogo.
i'm pretty sure he's human from the picture and the sprites, but he doesn't have a last name, so that's my only theory, that he surrendered his identity to train as a mime. or, to ascend to be the greatest mime. or something.
anyway, gogo is my favourite character, i want to re-create his helmet the way it's shown in the end movie, on the table. it'd be just about the most awesome thing ever if i did it right.
GOGO IS NOT DARYL!!
Adlai Stevenson, yo.
I no that he is Adlai Stevenson. But where is the justification that it is Adlai Stevenson? He died of heart failure!

Square is evil......
They put these kind of things in the games just for this reason. The employees are probably watching this and laughing at all the crazy guesses.....Adlai Stevenson......
So, for clarification:
Gogo is simply a mime who have no revelance to ANY OTHER CHARACTER IN THE PLOT!!!!!!!!
Quina is neither male, nor female. Quina is a Qu.
and, AERIS CANNOT BE RESURRECTED EVER!!!!!
honestly...
AERIS CAN TO BE RESURRECTED EVAR!!!!!. You just gots to to have the right attitude.Quote:

Anyway, have you ever noticed that Gogo sprite in battle has the same positions that Shadow sprite has...??? and when you go and talk to Gogo inside the falcon he says the same things that Shadow says: "... ..."
It's just a thing i noticed when i was playing the game and I don't know if this has some kind of significance...
But, anyways, you never know what happened with Baram (in spite of you asume that he dies when Shadow let him alone in the forest)... or what happened with Relm's mother...
ˇ?
What do you think about that...???
PD: Sorry if my english is bad... I'm Chilean, and the little bit of english I can speak and understand I just learned it playing RPG games when I was a child...
Mog was a better character I want an in-depth analysis of him and the moogles.
Looking at the different opinions of what/who Gogo really is.....then it's just the same with Tom Bombadil in the world of Tolkien: Gogo could be anything/anyone:cool: .
Gogo is noone....and in the meantime any character you'ld want him to be(that's why he's a mimic: he can act like every other character in the party^^)
Gogo is Zozo's mayor. :bigsmile:
