Josef

[PreZ]

Who else thought Josef was a cool character?
His story is by far the best in this game.

He helped the heroes get the snowcraft and then died protecting them.
He was also a very good character in battle, he was a very powerful unarmed fighter.

What are your thoughts on Josef?

For a NES game, Josef was a really developed character, and his act of Martyrdom was amazing, i also thought he was really powerful too, and it was a shame we didn't have him for too long.

definitely he's one of the coolest characters in FF2. actually when I played this game his story is one of the things I'm looking forward to because of its reference in FF9. and no, we can still use him for long enough time in soul of rebirth. though a bit sad coz he starts to be the weakest characters there. but still I think unarmed fighters rock in this game.

Josef was an awesome character. It really sucks that he bit the dust. Somehow I had a feeling he was going down when you ran into him the first time. :/

I loved josef since i saw him in nes he is very powerful compared to the characters you already have and his drama queen scenes make him unforgetabl. So to me he is pretty cool.

I knew Josef would die because of the reference in FFIX. I made the most of his time in the party and trained a lot while i had him. I didn't expect him to be crushed by a giant snowball though

There was a Josef reference in Final Fantasy IX?

There was a Josef reference in Final Fantasy IX?

yes. in pinnacle rocks when the 'old man' tells his story before Garnet and Zidane went to see Lindblum in ruins.

Yeah, he was my second favorite of the dead peeps (my fave being Ricard).

I do admit that he had the best story, though I may have a bias, due to loving snowy-type settings.

Holy shit... I never knew that referred to Josef. And I even replayed Final Fantasy IX after playing through Final Fantasy II. Wow... never dawned on me at all. No matter how much you think you know about this series you can always learn more.

Joseph is easily the most powerful character in the entire game when you level his fists up to max- he does an enormous amount of damage without equipping a single weapon!

Also, Minwu had a cooler story than Josef, but maybe that's just the Soul of Rebirth cutscenes talking.
