Any signs of Jowy's....? *Spoilers*

Post by bluemask »

I'm just wondering, was there ever a hint that Jowy would betray the hero? I mean, like a foreshadowing of some sort. Replaying the game, there doesn't seem to be one though.. but I'm curious if you guys ever saw something :/

having secret conversations with a ninja hiding in the shadows might have been a dead giveaway.

Well, yeah it's one. But I'm thinking something very early in the game... I dunno D:.

The first sign of Jowy becoming something different from Tir is when he addresses Jilia Blight on the way to his death sentence. That's when he choses the path of violence and revenge.

I'd say the seed was planted when his old man disowned him. When he received the Black Sword Rune it only gave him the realization that he had the power to maybe actually do something about what had happened.

The first time i played the game i was really shocked that Jowy betrayed you. But i liked that because i found Jowy annoying most of the time :lol:


and yes talking with Kage could hint that Jowy would betray you

There was major foreshadowing (which like all good foreshadowing... I only noticed AFTER playing it the first time) when Riou and Jowy received their opposing runes. I believe Leknaat even gave a basic history of the runes clashing before.

Now that's something. How come I never thought of that one. Well, you wouldn't realize that there's an actual story until you hear of Han/Genkaku's conflict right??? Good thinking.

Oh and I just thought of another one, how about, when Riou and Jowy got separated after jumping in Tenzan Falls? I think it literally signifies their parting ways? Something I just come up with :P

You wanna know how I knew there'd be a falling out? Every time Jowy asked my opinion on something, I picked the negative/don't care answer. Frankly, I'm surprised Nanami didn't betray me as well. I told them they both stunk.

LOL. Nanami knows that in herself so it's fine with her. She knows no one can beat her annoying-ness.

Obviously, the fact that he's the main charater's best friend in a JRPG, which means he'll either die, betray him, or die after betraying him. :)
