No, Ovelia doesn't die from being stabbed in the guts. She survives and dies of other things later. Most likely complications as a result of being stabbed in the guts.

One of those games with complete, brilliant,fully fleshed out stories and characters with no need for a sequel but I can't help but wanting more of it. Ramza's journey outside Ivalice could easily be it's it's own game.

[@J7Jase]

I totally agree. I believe Yasumi Matsuno did say he wanted to make a game like Tactics or another Tactics before he died. But honestly this game is near perfect and my favorite of all time. If there was another game, sequel or prequel, he needs to write it and direct it.

Consider yourself lucky it took you a week to find out bro I play and beat this game 20 years ago and iam just finding out and relieve that she didn't and pissed off that I waited 20 long years and for another sequel and the funny thing is tactic advance came out but it did nothing

[@sz3]

What was the point of the double stabing in the final scene if both of them survived??? And to say that she died long time after leaving Delita to rule?? So what, they just forgot about what happened and lived together after? Are you kidding me Ovelia cleary fainted/died after the stab, giving the player/viewer a clear message that she was killed in cold blood Honestly I would have preferred to believe that both of them died in that scene showing that Ovelia was just a victim for that false monarchy and "king" Delita died cuz of his greed to change the world without giving a shit about all those lost lives

[@J7Jase]

His words not mine. I am just glad he clarified the fact that Ramza and friends survived. FF14 and the internet need to recognize that they survived.

[@camazotzbat5970]

The point of the scene is to show that Ovelia has been broken by the trauma, and can no longer trust those around her, and Delita's rule is going to be an extremely lonely one where nothing has changed for him. His life will continue to be one of treachery and retaliation. His end in all this is realizing that he has succeeded in his ambitions and desires, what follows will be the easy part and... this is his reward. Ever wary of unseen daggers from even those he might call family. He'll never be able to easily set aside his armor. He'll never have the loving family and brotherhood he once had. TL;DR: He won, and lost everything in the process.

[@Someone_Somewhere7]

@@sephirothangel563 Delita talks about building a new Kingdom not only for his ambition, but for Ovelia too, in the conversation with Olan no less, although more apparent in WotL. He also makes it very explicit he loves Ovelia in his conversation with Ramza at the church in Zeltennia, unless what you mean is that he never told HER that fact. He did still use her as means to an end, but Ovelia's perception of his plan and himselfe were still twisted from her previous experience and trauma, and she didnt see anywhere past the fact she was used by him.

[@SeventhheavenDK]

@@Someone_Somewhere7 . Delita doesn't outright confirm to Ramza that he loved her, he was kind of ambiguous, tho, of course, in that ambiguity he implies he cares for her, but still, he was using Ramza too, so who knows if he only said that to have Ramza do what he wanted, do not forget he said that after Ramza asked Delita to come with him, but the truth is that he said that also as an excuse to turn down Ramza's offer. In any case that conversation happens even before Delita managed to succeed Golthana, while I actually think he cared for Ovelia (not sure if he loved her), by the time the scene of with Oran takes place (and the ending scene too) it seems Delita cares more about his own goal than Ovelia herself, he indeed mentions he wants to create a kingdom for Ovelia, but at the same time he also mentions how he wanted to use the story of the commoner saves the kingdom and becomes King to manipulate the people. In the end, Ovelia is truly nothing more than a tool for him to reach and end.

[@vyguardelite7874]

This is a topic of contention? You see Ramza and Alma riding off to a new adventure at the end of Fft. After everything he went through and lost along that journey, all the virtually insurmountable odds he was against and fought the zodiac demons of yore and won btw...people thought he died? Are you serious?

[@J7Jase]

Yes no joke. A lot of people thought he died. There are so many forum topics and such on the internet about it. And also the raid in FF14 Return to Ivalice says Ramza and company also failed to defeat Ultima the High Seraph and many people think that this is canon.

@@J7Jase Yeah I've seen 14s content I just assumed they were trying to go somewhere different with the story. Lmao I've been playing tactics since 99, no idea this was a thing that's wild. Nice to know that even this many years later though it's still be discussed so avidly.

[@vyguardelite7874]

@@J7Jase Personally, I like to believe that an explanation for Ramza's continued life was purely the fact that Orann Durai tried to publish Ramza's events. The church at the time condemned him and labeled him a heratic, burning him alive. The church very well knew Ramza was alive, infact the account of the translation of the Durai Papers suggests Ramza was avidly helping Delita establish his Empire. If Ramza had died they would not have gone through so much trouble to cover up the actual story, that would merely have made a martyr of him regardless of the events that transpired. Orann had to have some amount of contact with Ramza after the battle with Ultima to have detailed information into the events of his life, even the events prior to Balbanes death. One could argue that information could have been public record and easy attainable but if the church is gonna cover it up, you bet they're gonna do the full deal. Just look at what they did to their own people. It's my firm belief the Durai papers prove Ramza survived the end of FFT.

[@korohacker]

I was one of those who believed all of them died in the end. But then again, I took everything at face value back then, and I even consoled myself by saying that Ramza and Alma in fact did survive and went into a secluded life, explained by Orran seeing them passing by in the ending, in defiance to what I had thought was the final ending of the story. So glad the writer explained the ending and the alternate ending, and he was right in saying that it did bring closure to me, who completed the game 15 years ago and learning to come to terms with the worst sort of ending

[@Anon9729X]

I’m gonna press X to doubt on Ovelia surviving that stab, Ramza and Alma on the other hand, I can agree with since we actually see them alive riding their Chocobo’s. Orran believes his Father is dead, who am I to claim otherwise. You as the writer can’t just contradict, the scenes and what your characters are telling us. I’m more of a “show, don’t tell and it actually has to make sense” kinda guy.

[@J7Jase]

You make a great point I get behind. I'd like to believe that not only Ramza and Alma survived but everyone else too. (Everyone who joins the party pretty much says nothing after anyway when it comes to joining unless you are on the War of the Lions version.) On the original PSX version though at the end, someone does mention someone named "Prince Clemence" so maybe perhaps that is their child?

[@Arioto00]

This makes no sense. I mean, if Orlandeu have survived, why Orran was left wondering if his father died in battle? Why didn't Agrias get back to Ovelia's service?

[@J7Jase]

You make a great point. I want to say some details were left out as well. Like there must have been some deep conversation between Delita and Ovelia after they stabbed each other. Dialogue and talks between everyone like Ramza, Alma, Argrias, Beowulf, Orlandeau and so on. So a lot of details missing or a large gap in this void.

Well this is 2 years late. But I believe everyone who joins ramza party are all labeled as criminals and heretics as well.

[@manulopez4697]

Here is my rant. First Delita is a lier he didnt change anything he just replaced the monarchy with another monarchy. The church still have power over Ivalice and everyone have a religion based on lies. Why does Orran think his dad is dead, Orlandu never saw him again?. i need a remake so bad where once a character joins your group doesn't disappear from the plot(Agrias,Orlandu,Mustadio,etc)

[@J7Jase]

You make a great point. You could also say he started The War of the Lions because he told Goltanna to march on Lesalia right away. He also was nothing without Princess Ovelia. In a way he reminds me of Kevin Federline and Triple H from WWE lol. He was nothing without the woman he was with lol. And agreed. I wish they had more speaking lines.

[@chriscyphercat]

I'm really puzzled at how the director could not have intended an ending as poetic as Delita and Ovelia dying. Delita dying alone in the snow at the hands of Ovelia, with "I got this" as his last words, was just way too profound. However if that's not how Matsuno saw it, I suppose I can go with that :). Perhaps it opens the door for some kind of redemptive arc and more of a story to be told. It's just all these years the emotional weight of that ending rested on both of them dying.

[@J7Jase]

He did say he wanted to give Delita more screen time but that was cut due to time development issues sadly

[@Archedgar]

The first time(s) I finished the game I assumed Delita died there after getting stabbed. It wasn't until someone I knew argued that he survived that we went over it and realized that the story claims Delita ruled for a long time with no record of him being randomly assassinated. Sad. It would indeed have been a much more poetic ending if Ovelia succeeded.

[@DeusaRem]

[@heavyc4450]

​@@Archedgarovelia dying would have fitted perfectly...

[@RetroFrito]

One of my favorite games and one of the best stories on PS1, and that's why it pains me to say this: if he's saying Ovelia didn't die, and that Delita wasn't cold-hearted, then that's sloppy writing on his part. How can you watch that ending and somehow be left aware that she lived? If he wanted the audience to know this, it should have been made clear. Sloppy.

[@J7Jase]

You got a point. But I will say that he is still a better writer than the current staff at Square Enix for the most part by far.

[@RetroFrito]

@@J7Jase You got that right

[@Kingdream93]

To the people's defense it's really reasonable to believe Olivia died. Not a lot of people can survive a stab wound to the gut. If it ended with Delita punching her in the stomach instead. That will make Olivia's survival more understandable. Wonderful story but bad choice of weapon for the ending.

[@stormtrooperjon9212]

Matsuno coulda fooled me with Delita knifing Ovelia at the end, I didn't think anything else besides Delita straight up killed her because he must've felt betrayed. Don't get me wrong, I like Delita, but he always made me think like ok, his character is some psycho/sociopath that really doesn't care about anyone else or their personal emotions because the loss of his sister "pushed him over to the dark side". The scene where he says "Is that so wrong" when Balmafula and Olan confront him about him becoming the King and using everyone also led me to believe that Delita lives in his own little delusional Delita bubble - his ambitions and goals come before all else. Even the whole love story of Delita and Ovelia, I thought that Ovelia believes in them together, but Delita was just using her and her status since day 1 when he saw his golden opportunity. So...even if Matsuno says "no Ovelia didn't die but she dies of other reasons later", to me personally that makes 0% sense, Delita doesn't seem like the kind of person that forgives betrayal (from his point of view), and he's killed others for much less.

[@J7Jase]

I thought she was killed too but he is the writer so if that was his true intention I'm for it. Even though it looks like she does drop dead. I like Chapter 1 Delita a lot but he isn't really my cup of tea for all the reasons you listed. I still think he is a better person than Goltanna, Dycedarg, Argath though. But yeah I could never see him letting her get off the hook.

[@NabaniSaa]

Not gonna lie, I like the original PSX translation of what Delita says at the end. The vague "What did you get" as opposed to asking if Ramza go "your end in all of this", hits differently, as well as Delita's unfinished "I..." rather than "I got this.", which to me felt like Delita almost, too ashamed to say what he got even though Ramza wasn't there.

[@J7Jase]

Yeah a few things of the original translation were better I think. I agree with that comment of yours.

[@Lauderdizzle]

Might have to do with the quirks of the Japanese language and the first translation not fully making clear what was really meant by that line. In Japanese I think people often have a habit of trailing off and not finishing a sentence whereas in English we wouldn't do that as often. So I wonder if it was something more like 'Ramza, what did you get out of all of this? As for me, I...'

[@randomgamerrs3384]

I wish Vagrant Story Ending was explained though I have a theoretical way of explaining the ending of it for myself (after having played it a long time): Now here's the way to look at it (theoretically as I've mentioned above): It is said by John Hardin that he who bears the BloodSin can take the city (something like that, I can't recall the exact words for everyone, apologies for that) and a soul is needed to complete the ritual. Sydney says (when conversing with Rosencrantz), "I gave my limbs to the Gods, perhaps I'll add yours the offering," and he holds the key (The BloodSin on his back is the key and he has offered his own limbs as a sacrifice to complete the ritual/sacred rite or whatever it's called. Guildenstern rips Sydney's Bloodsin from his back and offers Samantha as the sacrifice. These to incidents are linked in the same way as how in the KEMCO RPG Band of Monsters is related. In Band of Monsters, Zara has to sacrifice something which is important to him to inherit strong power (his buddy Woff), who is with him for that last moment before he changes into the form of sound (though later on in the game he returns, this matters not as up to this much the story is similar to Vagrant Story). Zara (also a woman's name in many asian countries like Ashley from Vagrant Story has that feminine name). In the Band of Monsters, monsters are combined to make powerful monsters, instead of weapons like in Vagrant Story. Anyways going back to the sacrifice talk: Sydney's something which was precious to him was his limbs, so he sacrificed them (yet he did not take the city, as he was testing Ash to see if he'd be fit enough as the vessel for the dark as they call it) and to Guildenstern, was his Samantha (his girlfriend from the looks of it). Now for Ashley Riot, were his beloved family (Marco his son and Tia his wife). Whether they had been killed as a part of his mission (we all know Ashley changes during the first moment of the game as he's so motivated to find the truth that he descends alone into the dark city of Léa Monde, stating the he is the reinforcements). Despite this whether his family were dead or alive, it didn't change the fact that they were precious to him. So, just before a voice is heard saying that his mission is not yet over, he is first reunited with his family, before they happily serve as his sacrifice (this can be proven when his son, Marco states, "I'm not crying Papa, see I'm not crying" and when his wife adds, "You gave me a lifetime's worth of love"). Further more, Ashley Riot is seen in the cutscene with the Red BloodSin Tattoo on his way back as he's carrying the body of Sydney. And as mentioned by Guildenstern before the battle with Father Duane about the Incomplete death, the state of Incomplete Death is what Sydney is suffering though the game and finally his Father (Duke Bardorba), who states that he was not much of a Father to him, ends his suffering by sending him to death with that little dagger like sword, looking much like the Excalibur and the BloodSin or Rood Inverse tattoo. This way, Sydney can finally move on to the afterlife and not be kept from passing away like in Corpse Party where the victims of that nexus are kept in that image of a school (Heavenly Host Eementary) as darkening affected souls bound to the school for all eternity.

I had always figured that Ramza and company didn't die by the fact they were seen by Olan and apparently that Bulfama also survived her attack from Delita. I did, however, think that Ovelia die from being stabbed by Delita, but this clears that up. I do wish however, that they would have maybe had her limping away injured. From the game's ending perspective it does appear that she died and until now thats all we had to go on.

[@MidianPOfficialytch]

for me Delita is still a big A**hole who pretty much did nothing but screw things for us at the end and took all the credit for himself, first he suddenly betrayed us, started kidnapping, murdering, and manipulating all sides, and did not even join us in the final battle while basically doing nothing and becomes king while us did the job for him without getting his hands dirty. if Yasumi Matsuno tweeted this then they should remake Final Fantasy Tactics yet again with bonus scenes described from his tweet since his tweet is irrelevant for now on what is shown at the ending of the game and War of the Lions. Delita's proof of a redemption arc won't do for a mere tweet on X (formerly Twitter) since his tweet ain't part of officially released material such as Games, Novels, Manuals, comics/manga, etc. despite being the writer or director. it's still not considered canon since his tweet might get deleted one day, making this information irrelevant until they plan to put this on an official game. so yes his reasoning is proven Non-Canon, what-if scenario or cut content for now even though he is the one who wrote this as long the things he describes are still not written or shown in official material that connects to the game itself. Delita is still a huge jerk through out the entire game.

[@J7Jase]

While Delita isn't my favorite character for quite a few reasons you listed, he was better than Goltanna and Dycedarg that is for sure. Well from what I recall and know there haven't been any official FFT manga or books etc. Its more than relevant because its coming from someone who actually worked on it.

Amazing video! Ramza and Alma are the only non-demons we know (except for Luso) who can cast Ultima. Do you think normal humans can't learn ultima? Celia a Lettie can and they're from a "diabolical killers trained by an order of assassins". So I wonder if they can because they're actually not human or because they learned this secret skill that only assassins know among humans. What do you think?

[@J7Jase]

Hey thanks so much for your comment! Really awesome out of the box thinking. For me I think they can only learn Ultima because of gameplay purposes to make them unique. But you might be onto something there. When you defeat Ultima at the end of the game, Ultima does mention being defeated by a relative of Ramza's in the past. Ramza also has the Zodiac Stones too, so maybe they are also giving him good power? I know the powers of the stone are mysterious but I think they give the wielder strength based on their true morals. Good evil etc.

[@metastase895]

Sorry but I don't buy it. It is very clear that the OG ending was meant to be ambiguous and open ended. There would be no point in including the stab scene if the real intention was for both characters to survive. What I believe happened is that Matsuno retconned the open ended nature of the OG ending because he was hired by Square to write for FF14 and thus the OG ending would be too dark to market for the general audience. TL,DR: Matsuno lied after the fact for marketing reasons.

[@J7Jase]

I mean believe what you want and feel free to disagree. From what I recall the 14 Ivalice thing didn't even feature Ovelia at all. However, I do believe that Ramza and friends or at least Ramza survived. We see them in the ending at the cemetery.

Huh. the only thing it really cleared up definitely for me at least, was that Ovelia survived Delita's countersabbing. Personally, I still have mixed feelings about Ovelia stabbing Ovelia at all, but that just goes to show how complex the whole situation really was in Ivalice at the time and how badly Delita sucks at building trust with folks.... Still, did he 'deserve' to get stabbed? That's debatable. Still, FFT is one of my favorite games storywise for just how brilliantly crafted and complex its narrative and worldbuilding was. Well, that and it did really felt accurate to its real world 12th century medieval Europe influences, right down to the speech too. Well, tbf, they prolly would've used 'Middle English' over the early modern to Elizabethan style used, but meh. Point is that I still liked it.

"That's not what I meant to show with that scene." Except, that's literally what you DID show. Delita stabbing Ovelia and leaving her there bleeding and dying. Lmfao. This kind of stuff can be chalked up to the goofy writing culture in Japan. Like how every manga or anime has >60% filler by law (lmao, joke) and how back and forth and corkscrewy their plots and lore are for almost every medium. The only time it seems to be pulled together in a coherent knot, instead of left as loose threads that seem to go no where and have no logical connection to the next part of the story (except that the writer says it does), is when they are guided or edited by someone from the west, usually an english speaker. Some of it can be attributed to translations (all your base are belong to us) or a difference in culture, but read a book that's been translated more directly (google) and edited vs by an english speaker vs by a Japanese speaker who learned english writing and speech. Tell me which one seems illogical and which one at least tries to make sense.

[@DarthObscurity]

As a kid, I remember telling an older friend "I want to see ALL the dragon ball z episodes!"
