Celebrated birthdays[]

Birthdays are rarely mentioned in Final Fantasy games. Only a handful of times is a character's birthday addressed, and even fewer are the times when a birthday is celebrated in-game.

Garnet's 16th birthday is celebrated in the opening of Final Fantasy IX; it is the time Tantalus Theater Troupe comes to town to perform one of her favorite plays, I Want to Be Your Canary.

Other mentions of birthdays[]

In Final Fantasy Tactics, the characters' birthdays determine their zodiac signs that have a minor influence in battle. The player can choose Ramza's birthday. There are usually no events for characters' birthdays, besides the one special event for Agrias in War of the Lions, but they will age in the in-game glossary.
