He does however make it his business to go after any murmur of people hatching any ideas of going after the far off little village on the Lost Continent. He doesn’t go out his way to find these folks he simply runs into them and decides he might as well knock some sense into them. Yet he somehow always finds himself running into people just like him - or the old him - friendless lonely people who are looking for a fight. Instead he’s got no particular destination. I imagine he goes off on his own for a bit like before but this time he’s not after Zidane or a fight. He doesn’t feel any place with the others in Alexandria, Burmecia, or Lindblum. Random headcanon: Before Zidane returns at the end of the game Amarant wanders around a bit, unsure of what to do. He’s 26 but compared to Zidane, he’s the real teenager with angst. I ain’t getting blood on my gloves cause you’re having a temper tantrum.” And then Amarant runs away to have an existential crisis. what is your damage, it’s 5 pm on Tuesday in Madain Sari. Amarant is such a drama queen and Zidane knows it. Also this line “Tell me! Why didn't you kill me!?" Because I quote it all the time and it makes myself laugh. You don’t need a reason to help people, but Zidane has his reasons for helping Kuja and while Amarant doesn’t give two shits what they are he knows Zidane won’t be stopped because, despite everything, Zidane saved a loser like him. He acts cool and pretends his reasons for doing things are loose but when he’s decided something it’s always for a reason. Amarant figures Zidane out pretty quickly after Ipsen’s Castle. There's no stopping this fool." I love this. It goes against my nature.’ You're a real simpleton. Was he born on a battlefield? Fighting for his life, living without comrades, taking scraps whenever he could? Was he betrayed when he was young? Is he a supposed to be a version of Zidane had he not been adopted into Tantalus by Baku? These are questions I deserve answers to, Square.įavorite line: “’I can't just walk away. Was he another victim of Gaia’s wars? Probably. He says he doesn’t remember anything about his origins or parents, but why. In the published after-game canon, like Ultimania, we could have been given a bit more. He’s a purposely written mysterious “cool-guy” character so we’re given scraps to make him unknown but come on. Like, okay, what the actual in-game canon gives us on Amarant is sort of enough. 18 years from his birth until he became “well known”. yeah he was born.? And then he uh got famous.? Idk then he met Zidane. You learn Steiner was a war orphan who was saved by the Pluto Knights - explaining his devotion to them. If you look at Ultimania there’s additional lore about other characters, like Steiner for instance. But my issue is, Square never gave him anything else. In a sense, he already has one that connects him to Zidane and explains his motives and actions and eventual arc. Now Amarant doesn’t need a backstory or history in the game.
