Description

Celes is a playable character in Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia who can be recruited during the Lost Chapter Raise the Runic Blade.

Characteristics[]

Appearance[]

Celes's initial appearance is based off her Yoshitaka Amano artwork. She wears yellow and purple armor with a yellow sash and white boots.

Her first alternate costume is based on her original 16-bit render in Final Fantasy VI, and consists of a white cape over a green leotard with a blue belt, blue wristlets, and matching blue coronet. She wears blue boots.

Her second alternate costume is based on her performance in Opera "Maria and Draco", and consists of a long white gown with blue décolletage down the chest portion. Several blue ribbons hold her hair in a ponytail with longer bangs on either side of her head. While she can be seen with a bouquet of roses in both her 2D render and her party mugshot, she is never seen with it in battle.

Story[]

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Lost Chapter: Raise the Runic Blade[]

Celes appears in open fields and is quickly forced to fight her way through the waves of monsters created by the nearby Torsion. She is relieved when she sees Setzer and Cyan, but soon realizes that something is wrong because they do not speak and appear crystalline. Realizing they are imitations, Celes defeats them.

When the real Setzer, along with the rest of the party, find her, Celes takes them for more manikins and prepares to attack until Setzer proves his bona fides by reciting what he knows about her. When the others tell her that there are more friends from her world, Celes realizes that Kefka is also there and asks to join their ranks.

Celes and Terra discuss the manikins and their origins. According to Mog, they are created by Spiritus, but this brings up the topic of Mog's trustworthiness and the group argues. It is agreed that the manikins seem to originate from Torsions, and that they only take the form of people already in the world. Celes speculates that Spiritus creates them after a new person enters the world and puts them under the command of his own warriors. She and Terra decide to ask Mog for more information, but Shadow remarks after they leave that they are wasting their time.

Act 2, Chapter 5: Will of the Hunters[]

Celes is part of the group that happens upon Noel Kreiss while exploring an abandoned city which takes on the appearance of the Imperial capital of Vector from her world. At the direction of Ultimecia they pursue Kefka, who has kidnapped the dark manikins of Celes and Terra and sowed within them the seeds of a dimension-destroying monster known as the Blackened Will.

The warriors of Materia chase Kefka onto a surrogate rendition of the Floating Continent, they find the discarded bodies of many of their dark manikins, stripped of their brilliance. Celes comforts Krile, who is shocked by the sight of the pile of their bodies. While looking for survivors, they stumble upon the distressed and badly injured dark manikin of Locke Cole. Locke tells them that he has failed to protect the dark manikins of Celes and Terra from Kefka and directs them to Kefka's final location. After dark manikin Locke's death, Celes ponders the apparent notion that dark manikins are easily manipulated with Noel and Krile, which seems far less certain after what they have just witnessed.

Celes and her compatriots confront Kefka but fail to destroy the Blackened Will, which escapes during their battle and begins to destroy the world - including the surrogate Floating Continent. They are forced to flee aboard Setzer's airship, but chase Kefka through a torsion opened up by Spiritus and Materia into a corrupted version of the World of Illusions.

Spoilers end here.

Allusions[]

  • Most of Celes's attacks rely on Ice, which she learns naturally in Final Fantasy VI.
  • Other allusions to Celes's character arc are peppered throughout the story, the most dominant of which is her time as the prima donna of "Opera Maria and Draco".
  • Celes's victory pose resembles a piece of Amano artwork from the original game.
  • Celes's FR partner is Basch. Both are generals of their respective empires who fell from grace when they allegedly betrayed their homelands, resulting in both being imprisoned and tortured before being rescued by their parties at the time. Coincidentally, both were rescued by thieves in the vicinity of their cells (Locke for Celes, Vaan and Balthier for Basch). Both are also defensive characters ("tanks") when deployed.
  • Celes also shares a lot of similarities with Neon, whom she also pairs up with:
    • Both are Runic users, with Celes's Runic as her default ability and Neon's Runic coming from the Void Knight job, one of her exclusives jobs.
    • Were on opposing sides from the main party and joined them later.
    • Tried to kill themselves after realizing their allies are dead, leaving them as the sole survivor. Celes jumped of the cliff when Cid died, believing she's the only one alive in the ruined world; Neon tried to become Chaos, wishing people would kill her to end people dying in the hunt of Chaos.
