Yup, I really have nothing better to do than write up who I think Gogo really is. I believe he is none other than Golbez from Final Fantasy 4. I submit THIS EVIDENCE:
Now clearly it is not mere coincidence the two share so many characteristics in common. So, how might one go from being a sleeping Lunarian to, in my opinion, the best playable character in Final Fantasy VI? It is quite simple really, and if you are willing to put up with some spoilers I will be happy to explain�just everyone keep in mind major spoilers are afoot from this point on�
At the end of FFIV we know that Golbez is sleeping soundly on the moon with FaSoYa (or something like that, the dude has a weird ass name, ok?) after everyone has saved the world and stuff� Well, the two sleep for many years, enough time for the structure of the world to change and FFV to take place and all that good stuff, and then even longer for the world to change again and set the stage for the history that will become the precursor to FFVI.
Now, you have to understand first that a moon is a satellite, and like all satellites there is a chance they crash into the planet they are revolving around. After all these years the moon had gotten closer and closer till finally it became quite obvious that it was going to crash into the world. However, FaSo�that dude that was sleeping on the moon could sense this and soon he and Golbez had awoken to try and prevent this from happening. Though they could have probably come up with a better plan, the two decided they must get into an escape pod and use their magical powers to try and push the moon back away from the earth. The two managed to do so, but were unable to return to the moon cause well, they were the only ones awake so no one was left to let them back in� As I said, they could have probably come up with a better plan. Anyway, lucky for me, FaSoYa died, he�s old�couldn�t take it, and now I don�t have to keep saying his name over and over.
Golbez on the other hand was nice and young, so he could survive having to force the moon back with his kick ass magic abilities and made his way to Earth, or the planet� I swear they change the name of it in every game to confuse us, but that is kind of pointless to get into now. He gets to earth. Now, lets face it, the guy has been sleeping for like thousands of years, probably longer� The dude is a little frisky and soon he starts making it with every woman he sees, I mean lets face it, horns are sexy. So anyway, once he gets his pent up sexual aggressions out he begins to wonder the world, first going to the famed tourist destination of Zozo, where again he gets it on with about 50 women. What can I say? Those Lunarians have stamina that rabbits can only aspire to!
However, soon he had caused quite a problem amoungst the locals, specifically with the fathers of many young girls in the area and he was forced to flee. However, one young girl by the name of Majula came with him, for she loved him dearly and they traveled the world together, learning all they could about it. But, all stories have their tragedies and this case Golbez�s past came back to haunt him. Along the way to Zozo he had met many a women along the way and needless to say the birth control methods during this time were less than could be desired, there were soon many children all over the world with magical abilities.
Golbez and Majula soon settled down, now husband and wife, for they did not wish to risk running into any more of his offspring. And here is where tragedy rears its ugly head, for Golbez, being a Lunarian, still had many years to live and soon his wife had passed on and he returned to Zozo and lived for generations, making this his home due to his strong attachment to his long dead wife. Well, as the years rolled on those that descended from Golbez became known as Espers and were often mocked for their strange physical appearances, which only caused problems because when these beings retaliated the results were often that of chaos.
A new kingdom was formed, with Golbez as the king. An amazing castle was erected for the seemingly immortal father of the Espers and they soon became a very powerful force in the ever-changing world. However, Golbez only desired to return to Zozo where his one true love rested. However this was not to be, tempers flaired and the Espers soon found them at odds with the humans that bore no magical gifts.
Soon a war began to rage on between those that had magical abilities and those that did not, and some even extracted the abilities of their former friends in order to use themselves. Fearing for his life Golbez made way for a small-secluded island shaped like a triangle and was soon eaten by a huge monster that roams there. Outside the world raged on, while within the monster his clothing began to fade and warp� Many years went by and there he sat, not knowing what would ever happen to him but too afraid to leave the beast to find that the war still raged on. And so it was, the mighty Golbez sat and waited, always thinking and longing for rest in Zozo.
Then, one day, 4 would be adventurers happened upon the island. They found Golbez and tried to make contact with him, and Golbez was only concerned with one thing� Returning to his home. He blurted out �TAKE ME TO ZOZO!!!� but of curse his mouth was covered with his now faded cloak and the four thought he had said �I am Gogo�. They told him that they would take him with them, and thinking they meant he would be brought home he happily complied and ran to the airship. However, this was not to be and soon he was drawn into yet another war, using his now fading abilities to mimic others, given the fact that most of his magical abilities had been drained throughout the ages.
After the defeat of Kefka the once mighty Lunarian finally returned to Zozo, only to see that much had changed. He asked someone what had happened and the following dialog took place:
Man: This isn�t Zozo
Golbez: Then where is it?
Man: I don�t know� but I want all your money
Golbez: HA! What are you going to do, kill me?
Man: No, now give me your money!
Golbez: If you�re not going to kill me then I am not very threatened by you� *turns and walks away*
Man: Foolish old man� *stab*stab*stab*stab*
Golbez: *dies*
And that my friends, is the story of Gogo.
