Cosmos (Dissidia)



Cosmos is the goddess of harmony that opposes Chaos in Dissidia Final Fantasy. She once failed to gain the cooperation of the Crystals, ultimately losing her battle against Chaos, but not the war, before the game's events. She is a force of good and the villains refer to her as the "Goddess of Death".

She is the only completely original character to appear in the game, and is voiced by Sumi Shimamoto.

Prologue
After the initial confrontation between Cosmos' warriors and Chaos', Cosmos is severely weakened. Worse still, the warriors have all been split up and are now stranded. She tells them that they must seek out the Crystals if they are to stand a chance against Chaos.

Destiny Odyssey I
While the Warriors of Cosmos were seeking the Crystals, Golbez approaches Cosmos. They began to talk about the endless cycle of war. If one god is slain, the divine dragon, Shuyin, will resurrect the fallen god, and the war will continue. Golbez then states that if the light was to loose the fight, the heroes would face they're true demise. Concerned, Cosmos appears before the Warrior of Light, and begs him to stop his search for the Crystals. He assures her...

"Even if it is hopeless, a path will surely open."

He then promises her that he will find the Crystals and save the world. Surprised by the Warrior's bravery, Cosmos makes a promise as well, to believe in her friends until the end.

Destiny Odyssey II
Cosmos appears before Firion, telling him that Cloud, Tidus, and Cecil have all found they're Crystals. Firion was happy, but at the same time, conflicted by what the Emperor called him, a tool of Cosmos. When Cosmos asked why, Firion said that it was because he had hope of a world with wild roses, where war didn't exist. The Emperor mocked his dream and called it childish. Cosmos responded to Firion's dream as a beautiful vision that she would want to see someday. Her words gave Firion new hope, as he promises to show Cosmos that world someday.

Destiny Odyssey III
As the young Onion Knight grieves over his cowardice, Cosmos arrives to tell him of Terra's situation, she is being used by the Cloud of Darkness, and in the meantime, is suffering because of it. Onion Knight asks if there was a way to save Terra, Cosmos responded with one option, to defeat the Cloud of Darkness herself. Wishing to avoid the fight, Onion Knight asks if giving the Crystals to the Cloud of Darkness would persuade her into releasing Terra, Cosmos then asks if his heart desires this choice. Confused, Onion Knight couldn't answer, so before she left, Cosmos told him to follow his heart, that way, he can truly find the power he needs. Afterwords, Golbez arrived to back-up Cosmos's words by giving Onion Knight the same choice, to look in side his heart.

Destiny Odyssey IV
Cosmos appears before Cecil Harvey after he is attacked by Golbez. Cosmos listens to Cecil's concerns about his decision to rely on the power of others, then consoles him and assures him he has the power to find the Crystal.

Destiny Odyssey IX
Cosmos pays a visit to Zidane in the Crystal World before his battle against Kuja. She encourages him to believe in his friends and assures him they believe in him, spurring Zidane to find and confront Kuja again.

Shade Impulse
After the ten warriors retrieve the crystals, they return to Cosmos' Throne and attempt to use the Crystals to restore Cosmos' strength. However, Chaos himself appears and incinerates the goddess before the eyes of the heroes. With her final strength, Cosmos' spirit protects the heroes from fading back to their worlds, giving them one final chance to strike back at Chaos and end the war for good. In the secret ending, after unlocking all the Cosmos and Chaos reports, Cosmos is revealed to be alive and is talking to Cid of the Lufaine. It would seem the war between good and evil was to continue, however, Cosmos becomes confident that her friends will find a way to end the cycle of death forever.

Music
Cosmos has her own theme, with vocals, included in the game, titled Cosmos. The band "Your Favorite Enemies" performs this song for the game.

Trivia

 * Although Cosmos' official artwork depicts her facing to the left, as the artwork of the other heroes do, her in-game character icon faces to the right, as the artwork of the villains do. It is maybe like this because of her artwork in the Logo facing right
