Journal Entry

Kingdom Hearts II

Final Fantasy VI

A wayfaring gambler who's ready for any game and any challenge. He'd even cast his life to the chips and let luck choose its course.

Setzer is the Struggle's prior winner. He tends to be followed by an army of lovestruck, screaming girls.

Trivia

• Setzer's appearance in Kingdom Hearts is criticised by Final Fantasy fans, particularly by fans of FFVI as well as old-time fans, as he is portrayed as an arrogant ladies man. He was similar in the original game, to some extent, but his character has been quite exaggerated.

• Setzer is technically the "earliest" Final Fantasy character used in the Kingdom Hearts series, hailing from Final Fantasy VI.

• Setzer can only have an entry on Jiminy's Journal after Sora defeats him in a Struggle match.
