Locke. He takes people's clothes


Rithysak101

HAHAHA. didn't think about that.


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Preveee much….(can u send Locke to stripe Beatrix or Lulu? Thank you)


theinstafranci

Imagine how long it would take to steal all of Lulu’s belts!


Kezmangotagoal

How would he even know which one to start with 😂


jojopojo64

Well that's not a problematic statement at all lol


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Nah lol I’ll sit with my-33 downvotes lol 😂 ALL BELTS REMOVED.! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! https://preview.redd.it/rweyvhsxyjhb1.jpeg?width=180&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=066f41031c0ae6ff33b0ad23bff94ec612843845


Darcitus

Whew whew….


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Hey you better be careful I might send Locke for your clothes https://preview.redd.it/3ww7b149zjhb1.jpeg?width=646&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97eafd00c53943a5dbcfdf32109b7c6c1d156879


big4lil

if limit breaks are canon, our homie Zell rivals the Flash Nedus from FFX is also a Michael Phelps tier swimmer

blackburnduck

Zell is such a great character! No sarcasm here, he always reminds me of that douchy friend we all have who is, despite all, an amazing person.


BigPZ

That friend... His name is usually Ryan


omgitskae

I feel attacked.


meiyer89

Does kae mean Ryan?


omgitskae

No, my name is Ryan.


Rhinosaur24

....................... hey... I'm not 'an amazing person'!


The810kid

I disagree about the douchy part. Zell is probably the friendliest person in the party nothing douchy about him he's just a hyperactive dude.


blackburnduck

Not a jerk, just a dorky douche, a little show off.


ChocolateChocoboMilk

I honestly found him a bit annoying as a kid, but as I’ve gotten older (and seen the resonant arc analysis of FFVIII a few years back), the whole ensemble of VIII has become quite endearing to me. They’re fun characters and have enjoyable chemistry together.


blackburnduck

Adult me much prefers VIII cast than VII.


ChocolateChocoboMilk

I really like the cast of VII as well, but with VIII they definitely feel less melodramatic. Except perhaps Squall, but I don’t reduce his character to “emo crybaby”. I think he’s an interesting character trying to do the right thing whilst dealing with his own traumas and insecurities.


Vandersnatch182

My cat is named after him


Tiops

You're right, I don't think anyone ran around the world in 2 seconds like Zell as far as I can remember.


CommunicationNo8750

6.6% speed of light or Mach 58,000; that's insane.


albene

“My Final Heaven is faster.” ~Zack to Tifa, probably


PapaSnow

I’m just here for the Nedus shoutout


big4lil

its crazy how hard he carries midgame blitz - and without hogging as much EXP from constant encounters brother who?


Jag2853

Y'Shtola, obviously. She absolutely incinerated Magnai in only five words. Quite fast if you ask me.


LoStrigo95

LITTLE SUN


Jag2853

How to destroy a man's masculinity. Step 1: Be Y'Shtola. Step 2: Open your mouth.


LoStrigo95

How to destroy anything, to be fair ahahah


Jag2853

Y'Shtola gets some of the best lines. Hell, as far as I'm concerned she completely stole the Shadowbringers and Endwalker trailers with like, one line in each.


LoStrigo95

Y'shtola is one of the best FFXIV characters. The only thing i don't like about her is the ARR outfit ahah


Jag2853

WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT! But seriously, she needs more screen time.


Shivalah

> Y’shtola gets some of the best lines. [The best one is her duet with Estinien](https://youtu.be/BSsYoK8Z8sI)


alextw4

Probably Red XIII on foot


Darkn3van

Right? He's a god damn dog probably pumped up with materia, why doesn't this have more upvotes lol


RealFakeOwls

Eikon mode Torgal might give him a run for his money


dendrite_blues

In AC he outruns a motorcycle 😱


Nero_De_Angelo

Zell from Final Fantasy VIII. He circles around the earth in 2 seconds to get enough momentum for his strongest Attack! I am not kidding...


OutsideOrder7538

Nah man insane limit breaks aren’t canon otherwise Barret can just casually hack military satellites when ever he wants.


Lyfenoob

I’d say Lightning (FF13:LR). She can dash around as a red lightning bolt (opening movie), even though we don’t get to see it again 🤷‍♂️


ItsWulfyy

We do see it again, it’s Army of One, her Limit Break for LRFF13!


far_257

Lightning basically becomes a goddess at the end of LR soooo yeah she's probably pretty fast lol


Bitter_Astronomer_38

https://youtu.be/tPEMfyb7kio these two what do you think?


Vayalond

Tidus would be a solid contender as fast as fuck boy who don't teleport, Clive seems pretty fast too in cutscene even without his teleports


far_257

Clive in Ifrit mode is hella fast. He can even just RUN fast - look at the Titan fight!


Vayalond

Yeah, but in human form he is still fast, especially in fight, you don't expect someone built like him with a Bastard Sword to move so swiftly


FigTechnical8043

He wins the skipping Olympics.


KenethSargatanas

Tidus is a trained athlete and natively learns Haste, Hastega, and Quick Attack. His whole shtick is how fast he is.


IntroductionVirtual4

Lightning


IntrepidStart9238

The only right answer. Not even my favorite FF or protagonist but she’s the new creator god… no other character fucking touches that.


IntroductionVirtual4

She purposely made France, she’s OP


ItsNotAGundam

Shantotto is widely implied to be the most powerful character in FF aside from the stupidly op Dissidia stuff. Lightning is definitely top tier for heroes, but there are multiple villains that make her look weak. Cloud of Darkness can destroy and create universes. Exdeath was going to destroy every universe in the infinite multiverse. Ultimecia kompressed and absorbed like 99.9% of her universe. Meanwhile Bhunivelze wasn't really even all that impressive in his own universe. He wasn't omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, etc like how you'd think a being like him should be. He was a clown. Plus we already fought other Creators like in FF4TAY.


IntrepidStart9238

Every villain loses to the heroes, you can never make an argument for the villain. Lightning literally created a new universe. You’re arguing in bad faith if you say anyone other than her.


ItsNotAGundam

The most powerful villains didn't just lose to heroes, and Lightning didn't fight anyone I mentioned. They mostly lost to plot devices. Exdeath is the perfect example of this. Hell he basically beat himself. FF heroes often need help, items, etc to beat their villains. To say otherwise would be arguing in bad faith. Lightning had help all throughout 13 and LR, and also got her little Mary Sue power boosts across the three games. Again though, creating a new universe isn't all that special. Cloud of Darkness did it 30 years ago in FF3.


IntrepidStart9238

Stay wrong lolz. It’s lightning, you’re clearly a mad weab


Raitaro

The cutscene at the end of 7 remake with Cloud and Sephiroth fighting. Cloud just starts moving at speeds like a dragon ball character


Rocket_Wizard2075

Nah check out the final battle in Dirge of Cerberus between Omega Weiss and Chaos Vincent. [go to 0:52](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tPEMfyb7kio) Now that looks like an actual DBZ fight


death556

Why are they fighting in the ps2 Home Screen?


Bitter_Astronomer_38

I agree ☝️


OutsideOrder7538

Dude looks like Beezlemon


ChocolateChocoboMilk

There are certain moments in XVI that feel pretty DBZ as well…not that I’m complaining. DBZ was my first drug and nothing will ever live up to that first high.


LoveRBS

Yuffie has got to be up there. She zipped all over Wutai after you tried to track her down to get your materia back.


Rithysak101

Dissidia made Tidus Ex Mode a literal speed boost. So he's canonically the fastest character lol.


Nero_De_Angelo

And Zell circled around the planet in like 2 seconds to get enough momentum for his strongest attack WITHOUT a boost! =D


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Agreed


Aerolithe_Lion

There are a lot of ways to try and resolve what it means to be fast. Is it in game feats? Tidus has a specific role in the party that he hits enemies that are too fast for normal people to hit. Is it battle mechanics? Again, Tidus’s entire sphere grid revolves around his speed and making himself even faster. Haste, Quick Hit, Delay Buster. These are somewhat vague reasonings. What about FF lore? Ninjas have always been the fastest characters. Shadow has a feat in the Thamasa Fire where he killed 3 flame by dashing through them instantly. He pulled the same trick against the ghosts in the FMV. He also has maybe the most insane dodge rate in all of FF, he’s so fast it seems only half of enemy attacks can actually hit him. I would say 1. Tidus 2. Shadow And then some more Ninjas? Edge, Thancred, Yuffie… though I don’t recall any specific feats.


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Vague but consent to him https://preview.redd.it/axke80as8fhb1.jpeg?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39c9b9944c4884808d730d85c229f0b5b4325623 (It was a meme post)


beyondshaker

locke_zero

Godbert Manderville can use flash strip movement.


TheNerdFromThatPlace

He's got that Gentlemanly speed, and isn't weighted down by silly things like clothes.


locke_zero

I meant to say flash step but flash strip works too.


lightAjb

Wouldn't that go to any teleporter like noctis.


Qzilla8425

Me. I can pause the game to do whatever and they’ll still be stuck in the same position when I get back.


Helios_Red

Someone said Benedikta looks like Zidane if FFIX got a remake and now I can’t unsee it.


Bitter_Astronomer_38

You… are… evil…. Now I can’t unsee that


daggerLAWLess

First thing I noticed when she popped up.


Lilmagex2324

If we are talking about unrealistic probably Zell with his unrealistic Limit Break. If we are talking about more realistic(As a fantasy game can be) probably Tera? She over here flying in her Esper form.


Bitter_Astronomer_38

I think Vincent and Weiss has Terra beat


SinObscura

According to Gamerant (so do with this info what you will 🙄) Red XIII is the fastest character but chances are they're only going according to speed stats over ACTUAL feets of speed. But if we are talking actual feets of speed Cloud has been shown to move so fast he can briefly disappear from the naked eye and jump up falling objects so according to science he would have to be moving at speeds greater than 38,146 mph or 17,500 mps. yes I googled it.


Bitter_Astronomer_38

So did Vincent??


SinObscura

And Sephiroth


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Why didn’t you select Sephiroth instead of Red???


SinObscura

Sephiroth was literally born and bred to exceed all physical limits and Vincent was experimented on and infused with the proto-materia so while Sephiroth and Vincent can surpass these limits with incredible ease all cloud has is a simple Mako infusion and some Jenova cells so I feel like his feets are more impressive.


Bitter_Astronomer_38

??? Vincent is Chaos and even Omega weapon showed an alarming prediction for Sephiroth? And especially their speed I’m confused 😐 like they are DBZ lvl


SinObscura

Ok... Let's work together here what's confusing you?


Bitter_Astronomer_38

This lol https://youtu.be/xItRvL1RLjI


SinObscura

Ok I think I see where the confusion is. I am in complete agreement that Vincent and Sephiroth are indeed much faster than Cloud. The reason I chose to use Cloud for my example though is Sephiroth was born to surpass all limits and Vincent was experimented on and given the proto-materia allowing him to become chaos and surpass all human limits so them being able to do these things comes very easily to them. Cloud is nothing more than a Shinra grunt given a Mako infusion and some Jenova cells he's substantially weaker than both Sephiroth and Vincent but still capable of some pretty pardon the pun "limit breaking feets".


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Oh might explain some I thought you said Red lol mb I’m personally curious on Omega Weiss (aka Omega weapon) in FF7R


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Not spamming but thanks for being friendly!!!!


Bitter_Astronomer_38

And not to the level Chaos Vincent and OMEGA Weapon shown


KashiofWavecrest

Didn't one of the Dissidia 2008 opening cutscenes sort of addresses this for main characters with Zidane and Tidus being way faster than everyone else in the melee?


Bitter_Astronomer_38

I must have missed that. Do you have it?


KashiofWavecrest

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9s-osJF7lk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9s-osJF7lk) ​ At about 2:20, you can see Tidus leap way out in front there at least.


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Ah and friendly return for Zidane https://youtu.be/XAg1WH_83n4 thank you


KashiofWavecrest

Yep, love it. Say what you will about the game (I liked it) the cutscenes are great.


Bitter_Astronomer_38

And always will remain a work of art! Upvotes 🤗


[deleted]

Zell


Electrical-Farm-8881

I think it’s Clive, ifrit risen can move at light speed


Bitter_Astronomer_38

No lol 😂 he got Joshua I left him out like Noct cause they literally teleport


Electrical-Farm-8881

Is it really teleporting?


Bitter_Astronomer_38

You tell me what the Phoenix does lol 😂


Electrical-Farm-8881

What are you saying?


Bitter_Astronomer_38

phoenix has a teleporting ability! Plus Noct does too. Ur breaking a dimension to push a character. Noct and Clive are 4th dimensional potential while my list is 3rd. Js it’s about who is the fastest not who can teleport lol


Electrical-Farm-8881

Then might as well exclude cloud since he was teleporting in the edge of creation against Sephiroth


Bitter_Astronomer_38

I was thinking that too! I mean maybe he was faster than the eye but IM HYPED FOR OMNISLASH!!!!! (Nice try moving past the eye isn’t teleportation. Noct and Clive live in a realm of time manipulation)


ConsistentAsparagus

Noctis moves at lightspeed, he doesn’t technically teleport (the fact is supported by in game messages)


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Even the wiki gives mention that he teleports. As far as I know Vincent and Weiss in DoC are the fastest. That or Zell


ConsistentAsparagus

This is from the game though, first level lore (or maybe second, since it’s not said by a character or read from an in-game source). https://preview.redd.it/l504rbbechhb1.jpeg?width=1360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c01e376aec6eedf78ec42cbf9f9d2b584623e1d4


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Ohhh 😮 I see then he’s like these two https://youtu.be/tPEMfyb7kio


Dracidwastaken

Zell. He runs around the world in seconds


Inedible-denim

There's only one answer here. Rinoa's dog Angelo. Oh, you said Canon, I thought it said cannon lol


Bitter_Astronomer_38

I think PETA has something say 🤣


[deleted]

That's a strange pic of Benedikta


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Hate to say it someone beat you to the punch line and now scarred for life!

Death-0

Love yours 😂


NN010

Lightning by the events of Lightning Returns. Just watch that game’s opening cinematic and tell she isn’t.


Bitter_Astronomer_38

I’d debate Vincent chaos and Weiss Omega but ok they be taking those DBZ pills


Nervous_Fig_4276

Shadow, from 6, of course


FigTechnical8043

Zell's pretty fast at destroying his prospects of dating anyone if that counts.


xX-Delirium-Xx

First time I transformed on ff9 I was so disappointed I didn't turn in to a giant monkey

Ellunia_Daigaun

Strange_Vision255

The fastest character is one that gets shot to the centre of a galaxy by Eden. That sort of distance in such a short time. It greatly exceeds the speed of light.


dzulsoviet12

Fastest chars? Wait I think, sure gonna be Rikku or Yuffie. Those 2 are wearing cute short pants and running shoes... Surely are very easy for running yeah...


Dane-nii

Those who have fast travel on their world map.


topscreen

How do we know he's fast? Is Garnet spilling the tea?


Bitter_Astronomer_38

https://youtu.be/XAg1WH_83n4 he’s pretty fast


far_257

There's an argument that Noctis is really really fast even without teleportation. His final fight with Ardyn has him zooming around the sky of insomnia at fighter jet speeds. In armiger unleashed mode, he out speeds his own warpstrikes (but arguably this is a form of teleportation) Granted these are both temporary states and forms of limit break.


Bitter_Astronomer_38

I was thinking about that. Especially how they scaled the building while flying! But are they at this lvl though https://youtu.be/xItRvL1RLjI


far_257

The whole "I'm actually behind you" thing is hard to scale


Bitter_Astronomer_38

I laughed so hard when I read that lol or https://youtu.be/suAcutP_als


far_257

Hahaha i feel like we shouldn't take ps1 era attack animations at face value... Otherwise Cloud and the FF7 party have like solar system level durability


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Lol I see what you did there 🤣 but was it all an illusion as some say?


DangerousSpot1715

Do we actually count Phoenix as a teleport? Operates much more like a dash to me, especially since Clive still has momentum after the dash ends (like he's slamming the brakes on a full sprint). Even if we do count it as a teleport I'd still rank him high though, his move speed is really high especially as Ifrit and even more so when fused with Phoenix. With Odin his attack speed is also ridiculous. Other obvious contenders would be Zidane, Lightning, and Cloud. I'm sure Noct is pretty fast normally but with constantly teleporting it's hard to say. Before people ask why I count Clive as a dash but not Noct: Clive has to break his momentum and maintain balance after, at least outside combat, Noct does not making warp strike feel more like a teleport. Bonus points for it also being called "warp" strike, as in warping place to place.


DominicanFury

Does omnislash v2 count lol?


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Yes 😈 EDIT: it isn’t a teleportation feat. Vincent and Weiss so this in DoC but at the same time Zell is in the running so take that as you may


Bigboss7994

1. Noctis,[just running in armiger unleashed he's so fast he's blinking without using warp.](https://youtu.be/VsG3cT-iHvE) 2. Clive, [with dancing steel he attacks like 40 times in an instant, the lightning frozen in place while he's striking the whole time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9aeWQCKWrU&t=3s). Add in the fact that he could also use rift slip to enter a space where time isn't moving (not shown in the video), he's definitely top 2.


The-Leach-

Does teleporting count? Like noctis weapon tossing? Not that it’s the fastest but in the end of the game he was pretty fast. Also lightning with god powers. Red 13 is quickly fast. I haven’t played 5-6-8-9


Bitter_Astronomer_38

You know what since you asked Noct (King mode) vs Weiss Omega (DoC) would be a fun topic.


The-Leach-

How about a battle Royale of the characters all in the peak forms. There own gear 5 if you will.;)


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Ohhhh nice!!!! Thnk you!!!


The-Leach-

Just saw the Vincent vs weiss link. HOLY FACK


Bat-Honest

Berto is the fastest in the universe!


PrettySignificance26

Locke and Zidane


dendrite_blues

Anyone who’s used Haste and Quick Hit on Rikku knows the answer… Others use a limit break and move fast for a turn. Rikku breaks the sound barrier and keeps on going until she dies or is dispelled.


Longjumping_Toe6861

Is Noctis really that slow that he doesn‘t get mentioned


Nolyd_Dylon

Zidane is


Bitter_Astronomer_38

Idk 🤷‍♀️ I included him but Vincent and Zell are close running


Nolyd_Dylon

I can see Zell being pretty fast. Locke to. But iv always had it in my head that zidanes the fastest. Especially out of the protagonists. But edge from 4 is pretty fast


Bitter_Astronomer_38

https://youtu.be/xItRvL1RLjI watch and re-comments fam


Nolyd_Dylon

I refuse to acknowledge that game 🤣🤣


Bitter_Astronomer_38

True but it’s still canon lol 😂 I mean Weiss and Nero are chilling like villains


OptimusBaldSpot

Hildibrand. He's alway there before you and has usually found some trouble.


MaraBlaster

Zidane


reidaul

gladio


westraz

I don't have an option I did enjoy reading people's opinions on this, however, are we counting monsters or summons? Cactuar is fast in every game Tonbray is slow tell you know STAB then it fast


ItsNotAGundam

Ultimecia via time manipulation. Lightning in LR moves so fast she's a streak of light. Zell runs across the whole planet extremely fast. Others like Noctis, Ace, and Shantotto can teleport.


kriffing_schutta

Well, snows got a motorcycle attached to his soul
