+AdiG1 She could destroy the world but she do it not becuse its stupid to do that shit. I would say Shantotto is more like an anti hero. Oh and its Gabrath who attack here. So she technically just defend here self.

She's like Naraku from Inuyasha. The moment you think you have her beat, it turns out it was just a puppet and she was actually fifty miles away getting a manicure.
I love how Shantotto is like "I'll completely destroy you" in this cutscene. Then in the next cutscene Gabranth is gone. No mention of him getting away. No mention of him being killed. No mention of him at all. Man got deleted so hard that they couldn't even render it in a cutscene.
Her stature may be lower than low, but be wary her power is larger in tow. A judge hiding in his armor and blade, steadfast and held fast made to fade. Merrily her cackle with his every tackle, a sneer and a scowl grows blacker in their battle. Do take care oh villain in the light, to the broken and the wise. For it is not right, to judge one misspoken by their size.
cosmos prolly really confused whether shantotto is guarding her or taken her as hostage; the game portrayed her as someone on a completely different level compared to the other warriors, Gabranth has no clue what hes got himself into, love shantotto!
I know it's late, but I think the bad guys here are the villains that have their own selfish agendas, like conquering the world, sending it to the void, compressing time to rule it or simply destroy it (staring at you Emperor, Cloud of Darkness and Exdeath, Ultimecia, and Kefka). P.S. The world I'm referring to is the world of Dissidia. These villains simply don't care about Chaos.
...In one cutscene, saying no to paying her 5000 gil has her KILL your character (not permanently luckily), by stopping you and then incinerating you. Over saying no.
while her ego is mighty and strong. she doe's have great power to cast that along. terra may be a mage who's power is strong and intense. but if you fought a equally skilled player with shantotto she could completely crush your defense. while her words may be insulting and sour. shantotto is right when she tell's terra *without control can you call it power?* *take's a bow*
A bit of a wavering course. Don't you think some of those rhymes were a bit forced? You have to speak with elegance. Otherwise you sound really dense. But you still did okay. If it were a mid-term paper, I'd give it a solid "Eeh, you pass. Go away." But I know you can do better if you had a better chance. Then you'd shine with Shantotto's radiance. And yes, I'm aware this comment is four years old but I couldn't resist being so bold. And with that I suppose this joke has run thin. Though if you were to ask me, I'd say I didn't even begin.
@@manoharalisa5829 *gives your comment a like.* i love how this comment i made from about 8 years ago is still getting responses to my cringe rhyming skills i made just for fun, also love that its got 62likes, thats 62 more likes then what i expected to get for something so lazy. also did my bad poem give you a stroke from the cringe rip at terra's expense? cause reading that comment out loud sounds very funny to me. it sounds like caveman speak XD if it makes you feel any better im aware terra's attacks are pretty op in the game. i use her all the time when i wanna just casually nuke my way through the labyrinth spamming terra's great big balls of fire :V . that move is so broken and easy to abuse lol.
@@Chale1288 well not including bosses. More to player control character(yea shes an npc in ff11) but shes playable in Dissidia, where she and her assistant Prishe is the only warrior Cosmos called upon to safeguard her, just to show how capable she was. I scale her feats and abilities based on her FF11 lore vs all other FF Protagonist. 1v1 only a few FF characters can stand up to her or even win.
Im sorry but whenever Shantotto starts talking about how "Dastardly" Gabranth is, I break out into a terrible british accent and start yelling, "DASTARDLY!? OH MY HOW PERVERSE!" XD
I slept on her for a long time playing Dissidia because I had never played XI and so she was not familiar. However, I must say, she's a bad bitch. She has every right to be boastful because she is so powerful and dependable. I found myself using her for majority of the last parts of the game. She has the ability to chain multiple destructive spells in quick succession which makes her one of the most capable damage dealers in the game - especially because her magic power increases as she gains bravery. She is also on the record as one of the fastest characters when it comes to movement and evasive ability. She is arguably one of the best characters in the game as a whole. And who doesn't love her humorous dialogue?
Shantotto is pretty beastly in general, she's one of two characters across all the games who appears, as themselves, in multiple FF universes. (The other is Gilgamesh.)
+Prince Midforest a friend of mine wielded her very well, i was unwise to underestimate such a character. even back when i felt i used a pretty good firion.
locke103 Oh I loved using Firion. I tended to use characters with a lot of versatility and combat options. That person used to be Terra until her battle skills were crapped on in duodecim.
She cracks witty remarks at exdeath if I remember right with the intro quotes. When facing Sephiroth I believe she says "I might actually have to try this time" I find it awesome how most of the chaos warriors respect Shantotto's power. Thus why she's my favorite character and I use her in Theatrhythm a lot.
Woah! It's kinda awkward but cool...to think that the voice actors of Shantotto and Gabranth are actually the voices of Madame Foster and Bloo (respectively) from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends! :D These voice actors have a lot of variety!
Gabranth is technically the Weakest villain, if he fought the likes of Kefka and Ultimacia and Exdeath and Emperor, Gabranth just doesn't have enough strength.. If anything they should have putted Vayne salidor and his Dynast King form
@@Omega-jg4oq Ironic that he's the only one on Chaos' side to actually just up and try to flip the table himself, despite effectively being just a human knight. Some of the others like Golbez helped Cosmos indirectly but Gabranth straight up tried to just end the cycle himself and might well have succeeded if he hadn't the misfortune to run into Shantotto and then Garland/Emperor Mateus.
@@Can_O_Crayola the only reason Gabranth has powers because he is using the nethicite or something special moves like Bash does, Vayne has Venat which it is a holy spiritual creature the same one who was helping Dr.Cid, why did they put Gabranth but not Vayne the main villain and the man behind everything, that's the biggest question that I've always wondered for years now
@@Omega-jg4oq Gabranth doesn't use Nethicite. We've never seen indications in-game that he has nethicite implants like Bergan or Vayne did. He's an unmodified Hume, and that's what made it all the more impressive that he survived all the way to Sky Fortress Bahamut, even through the Sun-Cryst's explosion. As we saw with Bergan and Vayne, dying whilst using Nethicite implants is not a clean or simple death, that stuff detonates you like a bomb. His abilities are all implied to be the same kind of "magic" or "technique" that most characters in FF12 have, like how the main characters have Quickenings or in the cutscene-esque big moves that bosses have. Nethicite has nothing to do with Gabranth's abilities, it's just how characters in Ivalice are. As for why Gabranth made it into Duodecim, it's probably because he's more recognizable as the flagship villain of the game's logo and because he's generally more popular than Vayne as an antagonist due to his Darth Vader-esque role in FF12. Not to mention, Square has not made it a secret that they absolutely adore the visual design of the Judges, since even after all these years they were still used as design inspiration for Kingdom Hearts' Keyblade Armors. As a further note, when Vayne finally did make his Dissidia debut, he doesn't have Venat with him, he only uses his powers gained by his Manufacted Nethicite like the Sephira swords. FF12 might not be as popular or famous as FF7, for example, but its influence on Square and Final Fantasy continues to remain relevant to this day...and we have Judge Gabranth to thank for a very large part of that.
@@Can_O_Crayola and let me add the fact that Gabranth has more interactions and enemies relationships with the main cast than Vayne does, like he was the one who killed Vaan's brother and dressed up to look like Bash to trick everyone and make his brother a traitor and the one who killed the King who suppose to be Ashe's father which it is caused her kingdom to fall, Vayne just happened to be the final villain and the final boss of the story
It's called awareness and sanity. If she's not the final boss of the Final Fantasy multiverse she's close... a bit like if she were Marvel's Dr Doom and XI's city of Windurst were her Latveria - she's a threat to everyone, but she's keeping her turf safe.
Tarutaru (Shantotto's race) in general tend to have some very odd speech patterns. What makes her especially endearing is that behind the sadistic black power is a Tarutaru who drives herself constantly to improve (and will use adventurers like tools, even her own nation's) so her nation can live in relative peace and quiet. Destruction, harnessed forever to the purpose of protecting those who are frankly terrible at protecting themselves. She's not the mage the Federation may deserve (the race tends to be kind-hearted and a bit cowardly) but she's the one they need. Cosmos probably reminds her of the Star Sibyl.
To be fair if I remember correctly shantotto managed to escape the cycle on her own. She was probably smart enough to figure out the pointless cycle and decided to *nope* out of it.
That pensive look on Cosmos's fate had nothing to do with Gabranth threatening her ... it was her realizing how gory it was going to get seeing this poor knight getting slaughtered by the god of black magic!
I don't know why so many hate Shantotto. Sure, she can be condescending, arrogant, and rude. But she is still the most dependable character, and I would rather have a competent bitch with a cool a cool accent than someone who is always positive but never helpful. Also, her character grew on me quickly. Then again, I haven't played this game that much yet.
People from Windurst like her, she might be a lunatic but she's our lunatic. Also during COP when the mithran trackers were running around Windurst like they owned the place and threatening people for information she ordered them to GFTO. And they did, because they knew better than to fuck with her.
It's because she's condescending, arrogant and rude. Those happen to be widely reviled character traits. On top of that, a lot of people didn't play FFXI because it was an MMO released during a time when console gaming was still experimenting with online play, and not everyone had internet access. Couple that with the fact most FF fans played all the other main line games and have a lot of respect for the characters, it's a bit annoying to see this random ewok bitch disrespecting them.
I can't believe Gabranth got completely obliterated, that's all he had in Dissidia.. this one cutscene and one fight and that's all, THEY DONE HIM DIRTY BRO 😭
Dont know if it is just me but Gabranth seems to be the only character whose past makes sense and actually why he is the way he is also makes sense. Why isnt he in NT
@@TheBanishedWind I made a joke based on the similarity in appearance between Isabelle from Animal Crossing and Shantotto of Final Fantasy XI. Maybe people didn't get it...
I haven't played it, but I'm pretty sure she does rhyme. The laugh is also a pretty iconic character trait for her, even though 11 doesn't really have voice acting.
"FFXI A Shantotto Ascension Ending Part 1" kinda shows that Shantotto is definitely the better Black Mage. Possibly more villainous than Kefka, too, if she chose not reverse the Shantottofication spell Domina Shantotto cast (who cast the spell AFTER being defeated by you and your party).
I'm actually kinda glad Shanttoto was on the good side. :Ic Even though I haven't gotten to the Shattoto expansion yet, I never really thought she was that much of a bad guy...
+Joseph Frombaugh Serisly only a noop would play here like this. Sometimes in the right moment Bind is realy usful. But most of the time Stun is the Key to obliterate the enemy.
Not really. Shantotto likes destroying things, but only if they're BAD things. So she's on the right side. Gabranth, meanwhile, framed his twin brother as a king-slayer when he was the real culprit. I'd say that's fitting for a Warrior of Chaos.
@PrinceOfAltea I wouldn't call Gabranth a hero nor villain. He does what he thought was just despite the weight on his shoulders and clinging to hatred. He's like Golbez, a warrior of Chaos by nature but he makes his own just-like decisions. Still, a fight cutscene would have been nice. Sometimes I don't like "invincible" characters like Shantotto because of these types of situations.
@PrinceOfAltea What gave Kain, WoL, Lightning, any of the Cosmos warriors, to determine what is just either? But because justice is debatable that makes the even FF characters more human in that respect. Tidus fights for Cosmos despite that his hate for Jecht is selfish. Cloud fights without knowing his purpose for doing so. OK is calculative and shows wisdom in avoiding conflict. And so on. It's true that the ends don't justify the means. You can also adapt from your mistakes to find new means.
Shantotto: "Yeah, yeah. You may believe you are strong, but I am a being so powerful that Ultima ran clinching his buttocks and thong." Gabranth: "What?" Ultima: "AH! THAT THING IS A DEMON! A DEMON I SAY!"

That pensive look on Cosmos's fate had nothing to do with Gabranth threatening her ... it was her realizing how gory it was going to get seeing this poor knight getting slaughtered by the god of black magic!
and after this cut scene Gabranth was no more
I don't know why so many hate Shantotto. Sure, she can be condescending, arrogant, and rude. But she is still the most dependable character, and I would rather have a competent bitch with a cool a cool accent than someone who is always positive but never helpful. Also, her character grew on me quickly.
Then again, I haven't played this game that much yet.
agreed
shes condescending, arrogant, rude, and bombastic...and she can also back up every single word of it
People from Windurst like her, she might be a lunatic but she's our lunatic. Also during COP when the mithran trackers were running around Windurst like they owned the place and threatening people for information she ordered them to GFTO. And they did, because they knew better than to fuck with her.
Good King Moggle Mog XII she have every right to be arrogant
It's because she's condescending, arrogant and rude. Those happen to be widely reviled character traits. On top of that, a lot of people didn't play FFXI because it was an MMO released during a time when console gaming was still experimenting with online play, and not everyone had internet access. Couple that with the fact most FF fans played all the other main line games and have a lot of respect for the characters, it's a bit annoying to see this random ewok bitch disrespecting them.
Gabranth's already dead, he just doesn't know it yet.
Correct but it wasn't Shantotto who killed him.
Gabranth: *underestimates Shantotto*
Shantotto: "So you have chosen, DEATH."
I can't believe Gabranth got completely obliterated, that's all he had in Dissidia.. this one cutscene and one fight and that's all, THEY DONE HIM DIRTY BRO 😭
@@Omega-jg4oq this isn’t the only scene he has, there is another scenario where he’s the boss with his own cutscenes talking to the player character.
Jecht was pretty chill, though, actually. He just didn't have anyone to be cool with. Actually, I think him and Golbez had some neat conversations.
and Cosmos thought "Chaos, why did you get ALL the silent warriors?"
Dont know if it is just me but Gabranth seems to be the only character whose past makes sense and actually why he is the way he is also makes sense. Why isnt he in NT
because FUCK the developers! they didnt care about him.
they're bringing all veterans back so he'll be back eventually
The original 10 are in the cycle no matter what. All the rest are technically extras.
Good news everyone!
Well hes in nt now lmao
When Shantotto doesnt ryhme... YOU KNOW SHE MEANS BUISNESS...
And then he *fucking died* . . . ~the end~
So this is what Isabelle gets up to between Animal Crossing games...
Wait what?
@@TheBanishedWind I made a joke based on the similarity in appearance between Isabelle from Animal Crossing and Shantotto of Final Fantasy XI. Maybe people didn't get it...
@@The_Wandering_Nerd
More like it made zero sense beyond them both being small.
1:00 there she goes again Ohohohohoho
Gabranth : But it is time to quit the field, little one.
Shantotto : Who are you calling... LITTLE?! I'LL BURN YOU, PRETTY ARMOR AND ALL!!!
Nah dawg she ain't Edward Elric
Having Shantotto for a teacher would be like reading Dr. Seuss for a year... all that damn rhyming....
She's the cutest of them all. 😊💖
Remind me why she's a hero again.
The last war she fought in she won, but ended up decimating everything so she had to quit
And finally, for all her haughty-bitch attitude, all she wants is to protect her nation.
I feel like she would be a great teacher if you want to learn magic, but I would also be terrified if I mess up something simple and she got pissed
Palom is the student.
"I think I'll incinerate you, pretty armor and all!"
Shantotto for Chaos ?
With the added punishment of Bind + Flare, if you snooze during class.
Everytime Shantotto speaks an awesome is born.
The jackhammer in the background definitely pulled this scene together.
I could listen to that laugh all day!
Yea no matter what game she appears in she is always right & her wrong meter is not fixed yet still broken probably by herself
I love reading all the salty Shanototto haters comments. Don't be so mad that she's freaking amazing in conversation and in battle.
She’s been beaten before though 😗
Shantotto vs Jack Garland. Now that’s something I’d like to see.
It is just now that I noticed that Shantotto here actually has a British accent. hahahaha
Gabranth is my favorite villan in Final Fantasy.
Christopher Petellat Entwisle mine is Sephiroth but i also like Gabranth
I like how the closed caption works perfectly for Gabranth and fails for Shantotto lol
Shantotto:"I admired your heart but ur head must be of solid bone"
Gabranth: did we have sex before?
You say that when Chaos has Kefka, Kuja and the Emperor.
That laugh brings me instant joy and shivers of fear
Shantotto: Time to end this man’s career
I haven't played it, but I'm pretty sure she does rhyme. The laugh is also a pretty iconic character trait for her, even though 11 doesn't really have voice acting.
"FFXI A Shantotto Ascension Ending Part 1" kinda shows that Shantotto is definitely the better Black Mage. Possibly more villainous than Kefka, too, if she chose not reverse the Shantottofication spell Domina Shantotto cast (who cast the spell AFTER being defeated by you and your party).
So she is a villain antagonist... Why they chose her as FFXI ambassador..
Holy crap ,now Gabranth really sounds like Basch
I'm actually kinda glad Shanttoto was on the good side. :Ic Even though I haven't gotten to the Shattoto expansion yet, I never really thought she was that much of a bad guy...
Why an antagonist to be main representative for FFXI (online) in dissidia..?
I still think "AHAHAHAHA!" (X, Tidus) is more annoying than "Seriously, seriously, seriously"
+Joseph Frombaugh Serisly only a noop would play here like this. Sometimes in the right moment Bind is realy usful. But most of the time Stun is the Key to obliterate the enemy.
Oh my god, they killed his accent. Goddamn it!
Shantotto is epic xD love that little lady
Shantotto and Gabranth are just like David vs Goliath
Not really. Shantotto likes destroying things, but only if they're BAD things. So she's on the right side. Gabranth, meanwhile, framed his twin brother as a king-slayer when he was the real culprit. I'd say that's fitting for a Warrior of Chaos.
And the best part is, Shantotto won that fight.
By sending him running. It's revealed in a Japan-only Official Quest that an exhausted Gabranth was later killed by Garland and the Emperor.
Shantotto is bae. Alt+3
Fun fact: The actor who voices Gabarth in dissidia also voiced Bloo and Reaper from Overwatch
Better than that. Shantotto's VA also was Dexter, from Dexter's Laboratory.
Shantotto was also Madame Foster.
@PrinceOfAltea I wouldn't call Gabranth a hero nor villain. He does what he thought was just despite the weight on his shoulders and clinging to hatred. He's like Golbez, a warrior of Chaos by nature but he makes his own just-like decisions.
Still, a fight cutscene would have been nice. Sometimes I don't like "invincible" characters like Shantotto because of these types of situations.
I play FFXII now, and I hate Gabranth..because he killed princess Ashe father, that is must be his doing... He is villain and his prince Vayne.
damn didnt know shantotto rhyme pretty well
@PrinceOfAltea What gave Kain, WoL, Lightning, any of the Cosmos warriors, to determine what is just either? But because justice is debatable that makes the even FF characters more human in that respect. Tidus fights for Cosmos despite that his hate for Jecht is selfish. Cloud fights without knowing his purpose for doing so. OK is calculative and shows wisdom in avoiding conflict. And so on. It's true that the ends don't justify the means. You can also adapt from your mistakes to find new means.
His accent was just...A PREVIEW!
Gotta loves Shantototto's rhymes
If Dr. Seuss was a homicidal dwarf with a god complex.
Where the fuck did his sexy accent go? SQUAAAAREEE
@xenokil Actually... they do show her fighting in both her mini-expansion and the Khimaira fight for ToAU. She abuses things.
hm good point, goddess or not you don't speak when Shantotto is having her moment.
relishes murder and a nazi slaute to boot: good guy
wants to end the war: bad guy
Shantotto is the best. Get that glass canon build bb!
He doesn't realize he's talking to the Yoda of FF lol
she actually doesnt rhyme a few sentences in duodecim..
in XI... it's 100% XD, including the Ohohohohoho XD
(XI player since day 1 here XD)
@yasheem15 They don't really ever show her fighting in FFXI. But in all what shows of her, she's a sorta lunatic Awesome Doc and a kickass Black Mage.
Wings of the Goddess, Battle of Jeuno. th-cam.com/video/qWfmLw3_GXU/w-d-xo.html
Well, people complained about the job Keith Ferguson did in the first game...so he dropped the accent altogether, and the complainers are to blame
Cosmos thinks: why Chaos got all the SILENT warriors?
Shantotto: "Yeah, yeah. You may believe you are strong, but I am a being so powerful that Ultima ran clinching his buttocks and thong."
Gabranth: "What?"
Ultima: "AH! THAT THING IS A DEMON! A DEMON I SAY!"
I Shantotto is easily my favorite FF character.
awww i loved gabranths british accent i'm brittish :(
always dropping bars on her opponent's
