The true identity of Gogo. *spoilers*
Not me, Gogo from Final Fantasy VI.
Gogo is not Daryl, Emperor Gestahl. Gogo is none other than the former Presidential candidate, Adlai Stevenson. Sound crazy? I didn't believe it at first, but here's the proof.
Please note that the following was written by former FFO member Claudius Aquila. Prepare to be blown away.
I have tried, over the months, to convince you people to stop arguing over who gogo is accept the fact that he is Adlai Stevenson, former governor of Illinois and failed Democratic presidential candidate in 1952 and 1956.
Here is ALL the proof, and if you need more, you're sick.
Quote #1
I am always amazed by the resistance offered to progress, even the most inocous progress. Imagine, if you will, jumping from one rickety bridge to another, with blind men running back and forth trying to push you off, and you will have some idea what legislating progress is like. The good news is that if you're pushed off, you can always climb back up and try again.
- from his book ''What I Think''
Quote #2
I suppose I could wear a hat, but them my teeth would fall out to spite me. I could get false ones, but doubtless then I would get fat just to prove my teeth work. The easiest course is to drape my whole body in robes and shawls and hope no one recognizes my eyes.
- Commenting about his baldness to an NBC reporter in 1952.
Quote #3
President Eisenhower continues to amaze me. He appears to be an ungainly and graceless man, but when [senator Robert] Taft makes a move, no matter how ridiculous, Eisenhower copies it with the skill of [French mime] Marcel Merceau. I haven't achieved such levels of mimicry with my own party, but I'm working on it.
- 1952 interview
Quote #4
The legislature is a frightening thing. To this day the state capitol building seems to me a beast ready to swallow me up; the very walls and cielings seem to crush you as you walk through it.
- from his book ''Friends and Enemies''
Quote #5
Today we are plunged into a battle that is familliar to us. the enemies and the problems are the same. But the terrain is different. The world around us has changed and shifted so much we no longer recognize it.
- Giving a speech at Charlottesville, 1960
Experience Egg
Read the quote in my sig. Stevenson's ex-wife once wrote a book about him called
The Egghead and I. In 1952, one of his campaign slogans was "Stevenson - The Experienced Candidate."
When you first meet Gogo, he says "I have been idle for too long." Possibly reffering to the fact that Stevenson had been dead for 30 years when FF6 came out.
A number of years ago a bill was passed regarding the transfer of funds among government-owned, government-operated (GOGO) laboratories. What was the name of this bill? The STEVENSON-Wydler Act, of course.
NOW are you convinced?
Freaky huh?

Hmm, that's funny. Heh yeah, maybe Squaresoft used that. I had actually called a gaming hotline for FFVI once and asked who he really was and all they said was "He's just a mysterious person, there is no way to know who Gogo really is".
