Cid & Baku
Does anybody know what the connection between these two is? Cid says they 'go way back' but doesn't say why. Plus there's that statue of Baku at Hunters' Gate.
Got a copule of suspicsions as to what the connection may be, but no proof- does anybody know? I don't remember seeiing anything on any of teh games I've played...
Their just friends. Although maybe Baku fought off something nasty so that's why he got the statue?
This space intentionally left blank.
The statues aren't of Baku per se, just other members of his slightly rodentine species. I reckon Baku's people might be hybrids of Burmecians and Humans. They have got traits of both...
Yuck!!! :O
Yeah, I can dig on that.
FFIX's world is obviously full of cross-species couplings. Just look at the leading pair... and all of those who don't exactly resemble one species in particular. The blue-skinned Humans like Brahne and Amarant, for instance.
I thought Amarant was more of a white then a blue. Maybe just a very light blue?

He looks blue to me..
Although ingame he looks kinda green sometimes. o_o
Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
Brahne was always supposed to be blue, but Salamander was only blue in the game. His original character design portrayed him as being a commonly fair-skinned guy.
I never thought those pictures were the original designs. Just special art done by some guy that was used for the "Art to FFIX" book (which i have at my house, which was the same book you got the picture from)
Actually, that picture was in gaming magazines and on the Internet long before Art of Final Fantasy IX was published. And yes, the Amano drawings are their original designs.
Oh okay. Thanks for clarifying that. I wasnt going against you Kawaii Ryukishii, i just was wondring
Ahh we're still cool.
Back to the question
Cid says he hired Baku and the Tantalus team to capture Garnet from the palace whilst they are performing. I think that Baku and the Tantalus guys have had too many run-ins with the law and Cid when they were stealing in Lindblum, and over time Cid got to know them so they became friends. Or another theory is Cid was a member of Tantalus before becoming the Regent of Lindblum. I'm pretty sure the game doesn't tell you any mroe than the two of them go way back.
isen baku some kinda king... i thougt i saw something about that some where else in the forum... mabey thats the conektion
