Judge Gabranth is a playable character in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT and its arcade version, representing Final Fantasy XII. He is a Specialist type. He is the third representative for Final Fantasy XII.
Gabranth's default player name is Nameless Warrior. His manikin counterpart, the Ersatz Magister, is gold.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Gabranth's default costume is "Judge Magister", updated from his main appearance in both Final Fantasy XII and previous Dissidia games. His suit of armor has been updated, featuring more accentuation of his ornate markings and metallic luster. Because of the reworking of EX Skill, Gabranth's aggressive fighting style in EX Mode, along with his helmet, are retained throughout battle, though taking a certain amount of damage will greatly fracture the helmet or completely remove it. His first alternate coloration resembles that of fellow Judge Magister Ghis, coloring his armor bronze with a red cape. His second alternate coloration has black armor with the ornate patterns white and his cape purple.
Gabranth's first alternate costume, "False General", is an updated version of his second alternate costume in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. The now darker metal armor has added luster along with his leather clothing. His alternate coloration resembles the early concept art of his brother, Basch, the upper armor being red with black accents. His second alternate coloration resembles that of regular Archadian soldiers, coloring his armor blue and silver.
Personality[]
Gabranth maintains his personality from Final Fantasy XII with the word "hatred" being a big part of his vocabulary.
Equipment[]
Gabranth brandishes dual-bladed swords, which he can freely disconnect at the hilt to wield as two separate weapons, the signature style of the Archadian Judges. He mainly dual-wields, but reconnects his weapons in several of his attacks.
His default weapons are the Highway Star & Chaos Blade, wielded by him in Final Fantasy XII. His first alternate weapons, Daybreak & Twilight, are Judge Ghis's weapons; golden in color, the primary sword is a large blade while the smaller sword is a spiked fan that has a half arch crescent guard and a long protruding blade with a series of trailing blades that follow down the guard. His second alternate weapons, called Triumph & Imperial Ensign, are Judge Bergan's weapons; the blades are rectangular and feature additional spikes at the edges of the blades. His third alternate weapons, Mace of Themis & Redemption, are Judge Drace's weapons; a dual-headed club with a longer, larger head on one end, and both themed in an enigmatic arthropod-like design, sporting the apparent preserved and possibly reinforced bodies of insect-based monsters with some limbs and anatomy jutting out metal blades.
All of Gabranth's weapons appear in Final Fantasy XII and its updated Zodiac versions as the weapons of the Judge Magisters, although the alternate weapons did not have names until the Dissidia series. Both their naming and design reflect their owner's personalities.
Gameplay[]
- Type: Specialist - Gabranth can use six unique EX skills.
Gabranth's gameplay is similar to his gameplay in the original Dissidia, but not as powerful. He excels at close-range combos and has attacks with numerous utility options, but lacks ranged abilities and is on the slow side. His gimmick is that he has six unique EX skills, sorted into two groups that share cooldowns with each other. Gabranth can change between skillsets by pressing 
, and his primary skillset is focused on debuffing enemies and increase his offensive potential, while his secondary skillset is focused on supporting his teammates. His variety of EX skills give him a great deal of versatility, but on their own are not standout, and his self-buffing skills are a double-edged sword.
