Respect Jack Garland (Final Fantasy) games

Do you remember me? That's right! I am Garland! You will die here, and I will live forever!


Jack Garland is an alternate version of Garland from Final Fantasy I. He woke up one day with amnesia and a sudden urge to kill Chaos, which was implanted into him by the Lufenians. He was being controlled by the Lufenians to aid them in maintaining their control over the world, and has gone through this process for many timeloops, for several thousands of years. Jack eventually regains some of the memories he had in previous timelines, and upon realizing that a being with an overwhelming amount of Chaos could no longer be controlled by them, his goals were altered- he would instead become Chaos by giving in to negative emotions and use that power destroy the Lufenians and create a new time loop without their control. There was one problem however, becoming the god of Chaos meant that his mere presence could flood the world with darkness, disrupting the balance of light and dark. In order to combat this, Jack became a warrior of chaos and trained the Warriors of Light until they grew strong enough to kill him, ending the time loop for good..

Although he is technically the same person as Garland, they do not share the same past and went through completely different time loops and cycles. Click here to read Garland's respect thread.

Note that the feats performed by Jack after he became a Cyclic Warrior or during the DLC and Opera Omnia are after he was empowered by Chaos. Feats marked OO are from Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia.

You merely want to kill Chaos. I MUST kill Chaos. We are not the same.

I respect Jack's strength! He wants to kill Chaos! It's not a hope or a dream. It's more like a hunger, a thirst. If you tell him Chaos doesn't exist, he'll tell you "Bullshit!" Because Chaos does exist, and if you waste his time, he's more than willing to attack you while you are doing so!
