Bio

Yang Leiden

Age: 35
Class: Monk
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 148 lbs

About (No Spoilers)

     Yang is an expert in the art of Karate and is also the prince of the Kingdom of Fabul.  He is a man of honor and loyalty and he is a fairly decent fighter so he comes in handy in most situations.  He plays a small role in the game but he’s quite a unique character to use however.

Major Relations

     Yang doesn’t have close ties with any other characters in the game except for his wife and the people of Fabul.  Yang is disinterested in making friends for the most part but since he is full of pride and honour, he does manage to sacrifice himself for Cecil and the others.  While Yang has few friends, he is still a trustworthy character and he has a reasonable personality.  Basically, Yang joins the quest mainly to back up his word and he’s mainly doing it to pay back Cecil for helping him out in a tough battle.


Character Developments (Spoilers)

     Yang initially joins up with Cecil and the others on Mt. Hobbs as he manages to take out Golbez’s minions but then Cecil and friends decide to help Yang out in defeating the Commander.  Thankful for their help, Yang then agrees to help Cecil and friends on their cause against Golbez and he is a man full of honour and pride.  Yang proves to be a fairly good character in battle, however he has a very low hit percentage so don’t expect him to connect regular attacks too often though.  Yang plays a small role in the game but he’s still an important character however.

Review

     I think Yang is a good character to use in battle overall and while he can’t equip much armor, he’s still a strong fighter and his defense is pretty good.  He’s one of the most serious characters in the game and he plays a small but nevertheless, important role in the story, even though it seems small.  He does manage to have some special battle commands but they are kind of useless.  A man full of pride and honor, Yang is a decent character but I’m not too fond of him since he seems a little dull and bland though.  It depends on your preferences.

Weapons/Armor/Accessories

     Yang is the only character in FFIV that can use Claws as weapons and he can equip two Claws at once to improve his attack power.  Another thing to note is that Yang’s defense is particularly high, even though it may not seem like it and he can’t equip heavy armor but he can equip light and medium armor for the most part.  Yang is a solid character to have in battle since he does have many different abilities to use in  different situations.
