Wiegraf Folles (Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions)
With Ramza Beoulve/Lugria confirmed for Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade, it’s only right that Tactics should get a villain. There aren’t many villains who stayed in the players’ minds quite like Wiegraf Folles. Although in Wiegrafs case this is partially thanks to his infamous final boss fight.
After the events of the Fifty Years’ War, a group of ex-soldiers would become the Corspe Brigde bandits. This group was led by the charismatic and honorable Wiegraf Folles and his sister Milleuda. While these bandits would eventually be defeated, the fighting would destroy the lives of Ramza and Wiegraf forever. Unfortunately for Wiegraf, his lust for revenge over his sister’s death would led him to join the Templars’ order. While there, he would eventually become a shadow of his former self, and this would eventually led to him being slain by Ramza after transforming into the demon Belias.
Story-wise, Templar Wiegraf would make for a perfect fit in Chaos’ army where he could serve as a leader for their Manikin forces. He could also serve as a good rival to Ramza, too, as they knew each other before he joined the Templars and he could have at one point even been a warrior for Cosmos.
As a fighter, Wiegraf would be a close range threat with his Holy Knight move set. His HP attacks could include moves such as Judgement Blade, Cleansing Strike, and Northswains Strike, which could also target enemies at medium range, because these three moves are swords that come from the ground. Naturally, his EX Burst would see Wiegraf transform into the demon Belias and tear his opponents apart with darkness attacks.
