At least he’s alive in Dissidia (w/pants). Maybe Chaos revived him?

Seriously, you can’t have a FFIV without Golbez. It just doesn’t work. And his death is inconsistent, too. He got two sets of meteors dropped on his head in FFIV, yet Cecil’s doppleganger is able to kill him with a single* hit in the After? Maybe his FFIV and Dissidia armour is made out of compressed demigods.

*I’m not sure if it’s one or more. It still sucks either way.

Not sure about that, come to think of it… I thought all the chapters had come out already, though?

But yeah, wouldn’t put it past ‘em. Though even the /original/ FFIV had a thing for bringing people back from the dead too, I guess. XD

Kweh: So it’s confirmed that Theobez is dead-dead? I was curious if they might pull something to bring him back in the followup section to that chapter or not. I mean… everything else they’ve done has been far, far more unbelievable than possibly even Sygnus!

Yep. Apparently, ***spoilers*** Theobez the Pantsless Wonder gets skewered.

He dies dead, though. Prolly ’cause he’s not as hardcore as Bennyboy. D:

***end spoilers***

Wait, what the After spoilers? I’m pretty sure Syn told me all about it, but I have a terrible memory.

Okay… I did go to look it up, just out of curiosity. This is how this chapter ended in the original version — bewaaaaaaare the bad OLD writing:

Cecil struck out fleetingly, simply tapping the Crystal Blade’s edge upon Luccious’ Katana. “Leave her.”

“Cecil.. no.. don’t Cecil.. no..” Rosa sobbed.

“I.. am the Second Coming! I’m the Sygnus! You will face me!” He challenged.

“Cecil! What are you doing..!” Kain bellowed.

He’s going to get himself killed!

A slight smile slipped across the Paladin’s face as Luccious turned back to him.

Shiva. He’s.. trying to get himself killed! The idiot wants to die…

Luccious’ face contorted, the blade whistling as it sliced the air. Cecil didn’t even attempt to defend the blow as it came. His eyes softened as he braced his heels into the ground.

“Cecil.. NOO!” The scream rang through the hall.

Golbez was instantly there, standing in front of his brother, arms outstretched to protect him. He turned his face away, flinching from the darkness of Luccious’ Katana.

And when the sweeping void passed, they were both gone.

So, yep. Golbez did jump out in front of Cecil in the first drafts. It wasn’t quite as graphic and it didn’t describe the sword plunging through them. But that was what it was meant to represent. I guess a decade ago, I skimped on the violence!
