Final Fantasy Record Keeper
Template:Sideicon
Rebelling against her father, a powerful figure in the Galbadian military, Rinoa joined the Timber resistance group known as the Forest Owls. She met Squall at the SeeD graduation party and fell in love.
Description
Rinoa is a playable character who was first unlocked in Parade Float on Classic difficulty during the To Slay a Sorceress Challenge Event as the First Time Reward. She was also offered upon completion of the Bonus Quest, "Complete Balamb Garden 1 Elite (VIII)", and was later reissued in Broken Chains and Rains of Ruin. She occasionally appears fused with Adel as a boss.
- Assessment
Rinoa is a Resistance Fighter whose combat tole is Offensive Magic.
The first dedicated Black Mage and sole Summoner from her delegation, Rinoa focuses her Soul Break skills on multi-hit and area-of-effect attacks; and in so doing can be a devastating force in battle. She is slightly faster than her mentor in Edea; yet despite having higher HP, Rinoa lacks Defense and Resistance. Even so, she has a diverse skillset that can help her party in a pinch.
