Gogo (Final Fantasy VI)

Gogo is a playable character in Final Fantasy VI. S/he is a secret character, only found in the World of Ruin, and is a skilled Mimic.

Story
Gogo lives in the stomach of the Zone Eater on Triangle Island. To obtain him/her, the party must let the Zone Eater eat them, where they can head to the room where Gogo awaits.

Speculations
One of the biggest questions facing Final Fantasy fans is the identity of Gogo. Many have speculated that s/he is Darryl, Setzer Gabbiani's ex-girlfriend.

However, the most talked about and most bizarre of these theories is that Gogo is actually Adlai E. Stevenson, a former US politician. The theory was made popular by a number of quotes Stevenson made:


 * "I am always amazed by the resistance offered to progress, even the most inocous [sic] progress. Imagine, if you will, jumping from one rickety bridge to another, with blind men running back and forth trying to push you off, and you will have some idea what legislating progress is like. The good news is that if you're pushed off, you can always climb back up and try again." - from his book What I Think (there is a room in the Zone Eater cave with blind men running across rickety bridges trying to push the party off, and the party has to jump between bridges)
 * I suppose I could wear a hat, but them [sic] my teeth would fall out to spite me. I could get false ones, but doubtless then I would get fat just to prove my teeth work. The easiest course is to drape my whole body in robes and shawls and hope no one recognizes my eyes. - Commenting about his baldness to an NBC reporter in 1952.
 * President Eisenhower continues to amaze me. He appears to be an ungainly and graceless man, but when [senator Robert] Taft makes a move, no matter how ridiculous, Eisenhower copies it with the skill of [French mime] Marcel Merceau. I haven't achieved such levels of mimicry with my own party, but I'm working on it. - 1952 interview
 * The legislature is a frightening thing. To this day the state capitol building seems to me a beast ready to swallow me up; the very walls and cielings [sic] seem to crush you as you walk through it. - from his book Friends and Enemies (Could be a reference to the Zone Eater himself)
 * Today we are plunged into a battle that is familliar [sic] to us. the [sic] enemies and the problems are the same. But the terrain is different. The world around us has changed and shifted so much we no longer recognize it. - Giving a speech at Charlottesville, 1960 (The quote was used to talk about the World of Ruin.)

There were several facts used to back this claim up as well:


 * When you first meet Gogo, s/he says "I have been idle for too long." Possibly reffering [sic] to the fact that Stevenson had been dead for 30 years when FF6 came out.
 * A number of years ago a bill was passed regarding the transfer of funds among government-owned, government-operated (GOGO) laboratories. What was the name of this bill? The STEVENSON-Wydler Act, of course.

There are some who think that many of these quotes were altered by fans of the game, however, and use this speculation to debunk this theory. That, however, did not stop the theory from making headlines of major news outlets.

Another theory is that Gogo is Gilgamesh, a recurring character in the series. This is debunked by the fact that both these characters appeared in Final Fantasy V

Equipment and Stats
Gogo's stats are subpar in every department, and his equips are limited as well. He can only equip the daggers and rods that Strago and Relm can equip, as well as mage equipment.

Abilities
Where Gogo loses in stats and equipment, however, he makes up for in his abilities. As a Mimic, his special ability, Mimic, allows him to copy the most recent action used by an ally. He does so without using MP, having to wait for a charge time to occur, or inputing any special commands, using items, or hoping the right Slot combination comes up. This is also the only way an Esper can be summoned more than once per battle.

Another aspect of Gogo is that, except for Mimic, his command options can be chosen by the player. Any command, including Fight and Item, can be given. The only exceptions are Morph/Revert, Magitek, Health, Possess, and Shock. If the Magic command is given to Gogo, he has access to all the spells his allies know. Also, in order for Gogo to use his Desperation Attack, he must be given the Fight command.

Music
Gogo's theme is named for himself. It is mixed into the ending.
