About (No Spoilers)

     Sabin is the twin brother of Edgar and he has learned the ways of the martial arts through his teacher, Duncan.  He’s a very strong character physically but yet, he still hasn’t forgotten his past and remains loyal and faithful to his brother Edgar and the Kingdom of Figaro.  Sabin fights against the Empire for the same reasons as Edgar does, both get along well however.

Major Relations

     Sabin has strong ties with Duncan as he is Sabin’s teacher and long-time mentor.  Also, he shares a brotherly bond with Edgar and other than that, Sabin is really an independent person and is quite satisfied with having few friends and people that he can look up to.  Throughout the game, Sabin has strong ties with Duncan and Edgar but otherwise, he doesn’t have good relations with most of the others.

Character Developments (Spoilers)

     As the brother of Edgar, Sabin may seem similar but in truth, his personality is a lot different from that of his brother.  Sabin is more determined and he’s also seems to be a little more light-hearted than his brother.  Sabin, unlike Edger isn’t too interested in women and seems more content by himself and he’s obviously more independent than Edgar.  After reuniting with his brother, Sabin decides to join his fight against the evil Empire and the bond between the two Figaro brothers remain strong and along with the others, they hope to destroy Kefka and his plans for world destruction and domination.

Review

     Sabin’s “Blitz” command in battle is quite useful and they are powerful martial art skills learned by Sabin.  They are performed using certain button combinations like in some fighting games.  In addition, Sabin can’t equip much armor as well but his strength more than makes up for it.  Simply put, Sabin is a powerhouse and he’s strictly an offensive character.  Sabin shares a similar role in the game as his brother Edgar and Sabin is clearly the more powerful and stronger of the two.  Although, Sabin appears to be a little more light-hearted and determined that Edgar at times though.  Either way, Sabin is a good character, personality-wise, I didn’t care much about him but his brute strength in battle really made me appreciate him overall.

Weapons/Armor

     Sabin is a very strong character physically with his Blitz command as well as his sheer physical build.  Although, while he’s a strong character in terms of attack power, he lacks when it comes to his defense as he can’t equip heavy armor at all.  Sabin can equip only Knuckles as weapons and he can only equip light armor and hats as armor for the most part.

    *NOTE: Value is the price you must pay for it, if it's "1", you can find it as an item.
     If "???" is the attack power value, the value will change on varying conditions such as level.
