Ramza Beoulve (Final Fantasy Tactics) |
|||
Joshua and Ramza have a lot in common. Both come from rich and prominent families, both abandoned their lives as rich brats, and both use their swords to kick serious ass. In such a battle of seeming simplicity, Ramza is the one that has the edge. After all, Joshua only has one option; to hit things really hard with his Audhulma. Ramza has a little more than that; Ultima to deal with Joshua’s counters, Scream to make himself stronger, and a variety of armors to assist him in either powering himself up or giving him durability. With those cutting edges, Ramza is going to take Joshua down. And hey, he might even take Joshua’s Audhulma with him… |

His flowing red hair symbolizes the fiery sands of his Jehennan home. And the skilled swordmaster Joshua is the second Fire Emblem blade artist to find his way into the RPGDL. With fellow swordmaster Guy beaten in the first round, it'll be up to Joshua to prove to the DL that a dance of blades can take on anyone, no matter their power. Josh's opening fight should be quite an eye-opener: his foe is Ramza, the hero of Final Fantasy Tactics. Josh won't have to worry about anything but showing off his flashy swordskills. Ramza's Ultima and shouting will avail him not against Josh's fast, powerful strikes. With the legendary Jehenna blade Audhulma under his hands, Josh will be smiling, his awesome hat tipped in respect for the fallen foe, as he makes his way onto the next round towards greatness. |
Otter "Outrageous!" came yet another cry. Joshua shuffled uncomfortably, unable to hold a steady pose in the presence of this cacophony. Not only had there been an ominous series of enraged screams from somewhere just outside the arena, but in the judge's booth, Steiner had started chuckling to himself. Since the knight was the only one to face Ramza in the DL until now, Josh found this was worrisome. Unfortunately, there was nothing to be done but to await his opponent's arrival. Leaning against a wall, Josh uneasily felt for his Audhulma and watched the door. He didn't have much longer to wait. Soon the door flew open and there stood Ramza Beoulve, sword in hand, his face a mask of seething hatred. Off to the side, the judges seemed to be discussing something with amusement, but Josh was already back in his fighting stance, preparing for a frenzied if futile outburst from his furious opponent. But Ramza just stood there and yelled at him. "Intolerable! A runaway noble turned mercenary, unable to save his family, forced to fight a trusted comrade.... you cheap knockoff! Surrender or die in obscurity!" Gritting his teeth, the red-haired and now red-faced prince made to cut Ramza down before he could utter another foolish word, but before he could even draw his sword, he felt himself being knocked aside by an impossibly quick Ultima. A second blast followed almost as quickly before Ramza closed the distance in a moment and granted the nervewracked Josh the gift of unconsciousness with a sword hilt to the skull. "I don't think much of your style, either," added the contemptuous but calming hero of Ivalice, ripping apart the offending hat and throwing in a Rune Sword haircut free of charge. Of course, using Scream before a match was clearly prohibited by the rules, but as Ramza, TimeLord, and countless others will attest, there is more than one way to win.
