Though he was once a prodigal prince, in the rebel army he gains strength of character and body.|''Final Fantasy II Anniversary Edition'' instruction manual}} '''Gordon''' is a [[Guest|temporary playable character]] from ''[[Final Fantasy II]]''. He and his older brother [[Scott (Final Fantasy II)|Scott]] are the princes of [[Kashuan]], allies of the Kingdom of [[Fynn]], and both are in love with [[Princess Hilda]]. ==Profile== ===Appearance=== Gordon is a young man with pale skin, blue eyes, and blond hair tied back in a ponytail. He wears a headband on his forehead inlaid with a blue gem, leather chest armor with a yellow tunic underneath, dark green pants and boots, and a purple cape. His NES battle sprite is similar to the [[Red Mage (Final Fantasy)|Red Mage's]] sprite from the original ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', with red and white clothing, but he has a red headband and his hair tied back instead of a hat. Gordon wears a red cape and yellow clothing in his PS/GBA sprites, but his sprite matches Yoshitaka Amano's concept art in the [[PlayStation Portable]] version. ===Personality=== Gordon is initially a cowardly man, filled with self-loathing over having abandoned Fynn and his brother. He is envious of the party's bravery and progress, feeling even more worthless in comparison to them. He eventually gathers the courage to try to assist the Rebellion, and during his time with Firion's group develops into a brave and confident leader, willing to volunteer for even the most dangerous missions. In ''[[Final Fantasy II Muma no Meikyū]]'', Gordon is portrayed with a drastically-different personality. He is rash and hotheaded, urging members of the rebellion to fight more aggressively, and rushing to confront [[Borghen]] alone. He goes by the alias "Gordy" when fighting alongside rebel forces. ==Story== {{spoiler}} Gordon is a man plagued with depression and self-loathing. He wanders in [[Altair (Final Fantasy II)|Altair]] blaming himself for his brother's death, as when the [[Palamecia (Final Fantasy II)|Palamecian]] Army penetrated the royal castle in Fynn, Gordon fled in terror rather than help his brother, Scott, who was overpowered and mortally wounded. His cowardice keeps him from joining the [[Wild Rose Rebellion]], but Gordon offers his knowledge on various topics when asked. What finally inspires him to take action is the rebellion's need of the [[Sunfire]] to destroy the ''[[Dreadnought (Final Fantasy II)|Dreadnought]]''. [[Firion]] and the others meet Gordon at Kashuan Keep as Gordon tried to find the [[Egil's Torch]] to prove to both his peers and to himself his strength. He was unable to continue through the keep due to the monsters festering inside and his lack of knowledge of the full workings of the castle despite being the prince of Kashuan. This revelation about himself threatens to drive Gordon into despair but he pulls himself together and offers to fight and aid the party as they travel the monster-infested castle, as he is the only one who can open the door to Egil's Torch. Upon his deathbed, the [[King of Fynn]] recognizes how Gordon has grown and grants him control over the rebellion's army. After the party returns from [[Deist (Final Fantasy II)|Deist]] they discover that Hilda had been captured and replaced with a [[Lamia Queen (Final Fantasy II)|Lamia Queen]] by the Palamecian Empire. Gordon requests to accompany Firion and the others on the rescue mission while [[Leila]] keeps watch on the army for him. Though thrown into the dungeon of the [[Coliseum (Final Fantasy II)|Coliseum]], he rescues Hilda with the party's help. Gordon remains by Hilda's side, leading the bulk of the rebellion with her while Firion's party acts as the front line. Gordon and Hilda pledge to join together to rebuild their kingdoms and Gordon finally believes that he can live up to his brother's expectations. Gordon, alongside Hilda, plays a vital role in the defeat of the deceased Emperor's [[Emperor (Soul of Rebirth)|light-half]]. They, alongside [[Nelly (Final Fantasy II)|Nelly]], [[Elina]] and Kain, appear before the deceased warriors, and warn them that the Light Emperor is just as evil as the Emperor the surviving Wild Rose Rebels are currently fighting (his dark-half). {{endspoiler}} ==Gameplay== Gordon comes to the [[party]] wielding a spear, and with balanced [[stats]] and equal proficiency levels with every weapon, though his [[HP (stat)|HP]] and [[MP (stat)|MP]] are weak compared to the other party members. Because of his balanced stats the player can train him however they like as either an attacker or a mage. ===Initial Abilities=== {{multicol-begin}} ;Stats {|class="FFII article-table" style="text-align:center" |- !width="70%"|Stat !width="30%"|Level |- ![[Final Fantasy II stats#HP|HP]] |128 |- ![[Final Fantasy II stats#MP|MP]] |15 |- ![[Final Fantasy II stats#Strength|Strength]] |22 |- ![[Final Fantasy II stats#Spirit|Spirit]] |22 |- ![[Final Fantasy II stats#Intelligence|Intelligence]] |22 |- ![[Final Fantasy II stats#Stamina|Stamina]] |22 |- ![[Final Fantasy II stats#Agility|Agility]] |22 |- ![[Final Fantasy II stats#Magic|Magic]] |22 |} {{multicol-separator}} ;Proficiencies {|class="FFII article-table" style="text-align:center" |- !width="70%"|Category !width="30%"|Level |- ![[Final Fantasy II weapons#Unarmed|Unarmed]] |2 |- ![[Final Fantasy II weapons#Knives|Knives]] |2 |- ![[Final Fantasy II weapons#Swords|Swords]] |2 |- ![[Final Fantasy II weapons#Staves|Staves]] |2 |- ![[Final Fantasy II weapons#Axes|Axes]] |2 |- ![[Final Fantasy II weapons#Spears|Spears]] |2 |- ![[Final Fantasy II weapons#Bows|Bows]] |2 |- ![[Final Fantasy II armor#Shields|Shields]] |2 |} {{multicol-end}} {{clear}} ===Optimal [[Key Terms]] for [[Arcane Labyrinth]]=== {|class="full-width FFII article-table" style="text-align:center" |- !width=20%|Good Fortune !width=20%|Promising !width=20%|Quite Well !width=20%|Auspicious !width=20%|Superb |-valign="top" |[[Arcane Labyrinth/Locations#Aquifer|Aquifer]]<br/>[[Arcane Labyrinth/Locations#Cave|Cave]] |[[Arcane Labyrinth/Life and Nature#Dragoons|Dragoons]]<br/>[[Arcane Labyrinth/Matter and Materials#Mythril|Mythril]]<br/>[[Arcane Labyrinth/Magic and Spirits#Tracking|Tracking]]<br/>[[Arcane Labyrinth/Life and Nature#Wyverns|Wyverns]] |[[Arcane Labyrinth/Matter and Materials#Candelabra|Candelabra]]<br/>[[Arcane Labyrinth/Life and Nature#Wind|Wind]]<br/>[[Arcane Labyrinth/Life and Nature#Thundercloud|Thundercloud]]<br/>[[Arcane Labyrinth/Magic and Spirits#Darkness|Darkness]] |[[Arcane Labyrinth/Life and Nature#Dense Fog|Dense Fog]]<br/>[[Arcane Labyrinth/Magic and Spirits#Sunfire|Sunfire]] |[[Arcane Labyrinth/Magic and Spirits#Goddess's Bell|Goddess's Bell]] |} ==Other appearances== {{main|Gordon (Final Fantasy II)/Other appearances|t1=Gordon other appearances}} Gordon has made appearances in the following games in the [[Final Fantasy series|''Final Fantasy'' series]]: *''[[/Other appearances#Dissidia Final Fantasy|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' as a cameo. *''[[/Other appearances#Pictlogica Final Fantasy|Pictlogica Final Fantasy]]'' as a playable character. *''[[/Other appearances#Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade|Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade]]'' as a summonable [[Legend (Airborne Brigade)|Legend]]. *''[[Gordon (Record Keeper)|Final Fantasy Record Keeper]]'' as a playable character. *''[[/Other appearances#Final Fantasy Trading Card Game|Final Fantasy Trading Card Game]]'' as a series of [[Final Fantasy Trading Card Game cards|cards]]. ==Behind the scenes== Gordon is something of a spiritual predecessor to [[Edward Chris von Muir]] from ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''. Both are princes of benevolent nations who suffer from debilitating survivor's guilt following the death of a loved one, and grow courageous and resolute over the course of their respective stories. Gordon is the first playable character in the series who is of royal blood. ==Etymology== {{Etym|Gordon}} {{navbox characters FFII}} [[de:Gordon]] [[es:Gordon]] [[pt-br:Gordon]] [[ru:Гордон (Final Fantasy II)]] [[Category:Characters in Final Fantasy II]] [[Category:Guest characters]]
