Series appearances[]

Final Fantasy XIV[]

Galuf Baldesion is a background character in Final Fantasy XIV. A member of the wealthy House Baldesion, he and three of his friends went adventuring in their youth, from which Galuf learned of the danger posed by Primals. Upon return, Galuf used his considerable resources to turn the deserted Isle of Val into a research facility and founded the Students of Baldesion organization, both dedicated to combating the Primal threat. He would eventually adopt a daughter named Krile. Galuf's fate after the mysterious disappearance of the Isle of Val is unknown.

Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008)[]

Galuf makes a cameo as a tutor from the in-game manuals. He is directly mentioned by Bartz (though not by name) in dialogue in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy as one of the few things Bartz remembers from his original world.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call[]

Theatrhythm CC Galuf

Galuf's memories return at the sight of his beloved granddaughter, and his duty with them. When he fails to prevent Exdeath's revival, this proud old soldier is overcome with regret, eventually ending up back in his own world...

CollectaCard

Galuf appears as an unlockable character, and is obtained by collecting Silver Crystal Shards. His appearance is based off one of his artworks by Yoshitaka Amano, in which he dons gauntlets on his arms as opposed to his red gloves.

Galuf is an excellent choice for both field and battle stages, as he can take damage for the party while also increasing their HP and stamina, but can also be effective in battles thanks to his high strength, and that he is one of the few characters that can naturally summon the Knights of the Round, which is the most powerful summon. Keep in mind that boosting Galuf's strength comes at the cost of expending the party's overall HP gauge, so choose strategically as to what Galuf's setup should prioritize.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy All-Star Carnival[]

TFFASC Galuf Portrait

Galuf is an unlockable character, and is obtained by collecting Light Crystal Shards, after Lenna has been obtained.

Story
3★ - No. 0183: An old warrior from another world who appears in the tales of the Crystals. He first met Bartz and his allies in the aftermath of a meteorite strike. At that time, he had no memory of his identity, save his own name and his duty to protect the Crystals. As he journeys with the others, though, he recalls more and more of his past life. He remembers that he comes from a different world than the one Bartz and the others live in. And there, he had been one of the four Warriors of Dawn, who sealed the warlock Exdeath in the past after a desperate struggle.
4★ - No. 0184: An old warrior from another world who appears in the tales of the Crystals. He was the king of Bal in the Second World, and one of the Warriors of Dawn who formerly sealed away Exdeath. Unable to defeat Exdeath in a contest of strength, the Warriors had little choice but to seal him in the First World. Galuf has been haunted ever since by the fear that he left another world infected with the seeds of destruction. His love for peace and for his comrades is beyond compare, and inspires him to take on Exdeath in one-on-one combat, in order to save Bartz and the other Warriors of Light in the Great Forest of Moore.
5★ - No. 0371: An old warrior from another world who appears in the tales of the Crystals. Galuf was one of the four original Warriors of Dawn who first sealed the warlock Exdeath. However, the seal eventually broke freeing Exdeath in the process, which lead Galuf to seek the help of Bartz and his friends in another world. Determined to protect his comrades and family, he lost his life facing Exdeath in battle. His will now lives on in his granddaughter Krile, whom he continues supporting in spirit.

3★ I am not from this world! ...Wait, why do I feel like I've said this before? What a warm feeling... It reminds me of the crystals' power. I remember! I was one of the Dawn Warriors! I finally remember everything!
4★ I am Galuf, King of Bal! My hair may be gray, but I'm a Warrior of Dawn all the same! I've got to pick up the pace a bit or Krile will scold me again! I won't let you young'uns leave me behind! I won't lose to you younglings yet! I'll show you how real warriors were made in the old days!
5★ Above being the King of Bal, I am your ally! Feel free to call me Galuf. All is fine. I'll join ya! These beasts are nothing to me. The attitude of a ruler, I have not. As a warrior of Dawn, I shall fight alongside you!
