Amano Minwu

Minwu was a hero and character representing Final Fantasy II.

White Wizard from Mysidia, he worked as Fynn's Royal Mage, and after Fynn's takeover by the Palamecian Empire, he became Princess Hilda's right-hand man who later assisted Firion and gave his life to break the seal on the ultimate magic - Ultima - to grant further offense against the Emperor

In the game's story mode, his opposing villain was Leon.

Attire[]

Minwu's main appearance is based off of concept artwork by Yoshitaka Amano. He wears thick flowing robes, a turban-like headpiece with his face partly covered and his trademark horned blue/red shield. In EX Mode Minwu's Shield turns Blood Red and he equips the Blood Staff.

His first alternative outfit "White Spirit" is based more around his game appearance in the PSP adddition of Final Fantasy II giving him pure white robes with red trimmings and bearing his trademark shield.

His second alternative outfit "Unmasked Man" is mased more upon the NES appearance which portrayed him with yellower robes and with a different headpiece that does not cover the face.

His Manikin is Yellow and called the Imitation Shaman

Battle[]

Minwu is best described as an Enhancer, fighting by combining the tactics of a White Mage and a Shield User for a defensive strategy. He can heal himself; give himself temporary defences – against either a Brave, HP or projectile attack, double his speed or release bursts of energy. His statistics are good overall but he is fairly slow when not using Haste. The downside is that he can only boost himself against one of these at a time and the second strike in the shields can all be pierced by most guard-breakers.
