About (No Spoilers)

     Setzer is a gambler who strives at the sense of adventure at every turn.  While it may seem that he leads a rich and peaceful life, he does have a tragic past behind him.  His main contribution to the game is that he has an airship to help the others for transportation purposes although he is a decent fighter and relies mainly on luck to determine his fate.

Major Relations

     Setzer doesn’t have many relations with any of the characters except for his longtime friend Daryl as well as some of the people in the town of Jidoor and the Opera as he is best-known for dropping by certain plays at times.  In addition, Setzer supposedly knows a girl named Maria who is the lead female singer in the Opera but she gets replaced by Celes mistakenly at one point during the game.  Because of this, Setzer gets caught up in the cause against Kefka and the Empire and he is taken on an adventure of a lifetime, full of danger and uncertainty, which will determine the future of the world.  Other than this, he doesn’t have any major relations with other characters in the game.

Character Developments (Spoilers)

     As a wealthy and carefree adventurer, Setzer manages to seem to lead a happy and peaceful lifestyle, full of danger but his past remains shrouded in tragedy and darkness.  Throughout most of the game, Setzer remains calm and a confident, usually ignoring the thoughts of sadness and fear.  However, it is later on revealed that Setzer’s longtime friend and rival Daryl unfortunately dies while racing Setzer in an airship race.  Setzer then decides to use Daryl’s airship called “The Falcon” later on to help the party and to honour Daryl.  Overall, Setzer is an adventurous character, full of risks and little fear and he’s a pretty unique character as well.

Review

     As a risk taker and an adventurer, Setzer remains an optimistic character with little worry or fear about the problems and threats that exist in the world.  However, until he revisits his past memories with the tragedy of his best friend Daryl, he remains like this.  After encountering the tomb of Daryl, he begins to realize his luckiness and decides to use Daryl’s favorite airship, “the Falcon” to honour Daryl as well as help the others in defeating Kefka and restoring peace in the world.  Setzer relies mainly on luck and wits to get through many obstacles in the game.

Weapons/Armor

     Setzer can equip some weapons like certain kinds of swords, knives but he can also use things like dice and cards to throw at enemies as weapons.  While he does have a good variety of weapons to use, he also can equip some fairly strong armor as well so that makes him quite a good character to use in battle overall.  Setzer’s defense is quite good and his attack is decent so he’s good all-round to use.

    *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.
