Dissidia Final Fantasy Sony PSP Video - Garland Montage

Allusions

* At the start of Destiny Odyssey I-5, Garland's line is the same as the line spoken before the final battle in Final Fantasy: "So even as you die again and again, I shall return! Born again into this endless circle I have created!".

* In his battle dialogue with Kuja, the two make reference to Kuja's antagonistic relationship with the Garland of Final Fantasy IX. Garland even states that he "feels a strong bond between them".

* Garland's EX Burst is named after the Soul of Chaos dungeons in the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary editions of Final Fantasy. His three exclusive weapons are all weapons found in the Whisperwind Cove, another bonus dungeon in the aforementioned releases.

* Garland is the only villain fought twice in the same storyline - he is fought as a boss both at the beginning of Destiny Odyssey I, and at the end, reflecting his role as the first and, in essence, final boss of Final Fantasy.

* When fighting Ultimecia, Garland references his crossing 2000 years into the past: I will transcend even time!.

* In Garland's conversation with Chaos in Shade Impulse 3-4, he references their shared identity with the line: You are me.. If fighting against Chaos, he will utter: You and I share the same fate.

* When facing the Emperor he'll say. "A position of authority means nothing to me!" referencing that he was the most trusted knight but then betrayed the king. Golbez also references this when he faces Garland, he'll say "A pitiful knight who knows not of loyalty...".

* When Cloud gets hit by Garland in the opening FMV, and when Zidane hits Garland and he gets knocked down in Destiny Odyssey IX, could be references to Garland's infamous line, "I, Garland, will knock you down".

* All of Garland's HP attacks are the same as the ones from the final battle with Chaos.

Trivia

* Tetsuya Nomura has stated that, because there were only in-game sprites to draw from, he had trouble designing Garland as a character, as in essence it was designing a new character rather than redesigning an old one. However, Nomura is still pleased with the result and is fond of Garland.

* While Garland's movement is very slow when grounded, oddly he moves quicker on walls and other obstacles.
In the opening FMV, Garland fights more heroes than any other villain.

* Garland might be the tallest character in the side of Chaos, probably even taller than Exdeath and Golbez themselves, although it cannot be determined so easily due to his fighting pose in the game, but in the opening FMV it is seen clearly that Garland is taller than any of them, although it's probably due to the distance between his allies.

* Garland is the only armored character that wears a helmet that has a facial expression, while Golbez, Exdeath and Gabranth helmets only had little opening for vision purposes.

I love Garland's voice. I think they have done well with dissidia voice acting.

I just hope they don't mess up english voice actors for Terra, Aqua, Ven, Master Xehanort, and his apprentince in BBS.
