Aries (zodiac)

Aries, the Ram, is a sign of the Zodiac and a recurring symbol in the Final Fantasy series.

Final Fantasy IX
Aries is one of the Stellazio coins collected by Queen Stella. It is the first coin able to be retrieved and is found on the ground level of the windmill in Dali, in the northwest corner of the room.

Final Fantasy XII
The Esper Belias, aligned with the element of Fire, embodies the sign of Aries. In the International version, the Aries emblem is represented by the White Mage job.

Final Fantasy Tactics
Aries is one of the twelve Zodiac Stones, and one of the seven inhabited by a Lucavi demon. The Knights Templar give the Aries Stone to Wiegraf Folles, who is unaware of its power until met with death at Orbonne Monastery. Sensing that the knight will do anything to grasp onto life, the spirit of Belias within the Stone promises Wiegraf eternal power if he will only give himself over to the Lucavi spirit. Folles accepts, and is transformed into Belias on the spot.

In addition, Aries is also a zodiac sign used to determine damage compatibility between characters during battle. Units with good compatibility will do higher damage to each other, and the opposite is true for signs with bad compatibility. Signs with optimal compatibility do extreme damage to units of the opposite sex but meager damage to units of the same sex.

Aries has optimal compatibility with Libra, good compatibility with Sagittarius and Leo, and bad compatibility with Cancer and Scorpio.
