The New Conflict

Unlike Y'shtola Rhul and Noctis Lucis Caelum, who are confirmed to have never participated in the old conflict, it is unknown if Locke was summoned to World B and then later dismissed sometime between the first and the eleventh cycles.

Shortly after Shinryu's defeat, the moogles give Locke a crystal to host his memories for Materia to use in the upcoming infinitely long war. With a crystal doppelgänger of himself to serve on Materia's behalf, Locke returns to his home world.

Gameplay

Locke's fighting style is similar to Zidane in terms of using daggers, abilities and gameplay. He can also throw a round bladed boomerang to his opponent as part of his Bravery attacks.

He is an Assassin type, and when he attacks foes not targeting him, he deals extra damage and his EX skill Steal becomes Mug. Whether an enemy is currently targeting him is determined at the instant Locke unleashes his attack.

His base EX Skill is Steal, which pilfers an item to use at will. The items are revealed on his list, such as Potions and Ethers, which he uses to restore a small amount of HP or Bravery. When he attacks foes not targeting him, Steal becomes Mug, in which he takes a piece of equipment that can be used to unleash a powerful attack. Most items stolen are Master Scroll, Soul of Thamasa and Brigand's Glove, which he uses to increase his attack damage, dealing magic damage and to buff himself to attack his opponents.

Creation and development

Locke was considered as the playable candidate of Final Fantasy VI during development of the original Dissidia Final Fantasy, but Tetsuya Nomura stated that the heroes' side lacked female representatives, and Locke rejected in favor of Terra Branford, due to her prominence in the main game and her stronger connection to Kefka Palazzo.

Locke was revealed as the second DLC character of the Season Pass on May 15, 2018. He was released on May 17, 2018 in the arcade version, and was released later in June 2018 on consoles.

Voice

Locke is voiced by Yūki Ono in the Japanese version, who previously voiced him as the "Amnesiac Man" in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Secretum -Himitsu-. In the English version, he is voiced by Jonathan von Mering.
