Bio

Galuf Baldersion

About (No Spoilers)

     As one of the 4 legendary Dawn Warriors who defeated Ex-Death and sealed him up some 30 years ago, Galuf is a focal point of the storyline and is one of the lead characters in the game.  He merely enters Bartz’s world to stop Ex-Death after the seal was broken to restore peace to the land once again.

Major Relations

     Galuf shares some ties with Bartz since he knew Bartz’s father Drogan during the time when the Dawn Warriors sealed Ex-Death some 30 years ago.  Galuf also shares a bond with his caring granddaughter Krile and knows the other Dawn Warriors too.  In addition, he knows the legendary Sage Gill but besides these people, he doesn’t share any strong ties with the others.

Character Developments (Spoilers)

     Galuf is a man of strong will and has lots of determination as well and in the early parts of the game, he appears to have lost his memory but later on he reveals his past to the others and tells more about Ex-Death later on.  He does have a caring granddaughter in Krile and unfortunately, he sacrifices himself and attempts to defeat Ex-Death alone to save the others but he dies as a result and comes up short of fulfilling his wish.

Review

     Galuf is a determined character and probably the main character of the entire game.  He can be stubborn at times though and is used for some comedy relief but he isn’t that dull in terms of personality.  Full of heart and desire, Galuf sacrifices himself to save the rest of the party and eventually Ex-Death gets defeated by the others, bringing peace to both Bartz’s and Galuf’s worlds.

Weapons/Armor

     Like the other characters in FFV, it is possible that Galuf can equip any weapon or armor in FFV, depending on what Job Class you put him in.
