Shantotto as a character, based on her history in FF11's story and lore, has pretty much ever right to be arrogant. According to her backstory she's arguably the most powerful Tarutaru black mage in existence, and the Tarutaru in FFXI are the most powerful magicians in their world, and that's saying something. Then she's also a master tactician, during the great war she herself took a group of mages on the offensive (after being fired from the military) and produced huge victories for her side. She's also widely respected for being one of the most knowledgeable mages. So when she calls you a total loser, you pretty much are, compared to her. She's a Tarutaru with attitude and lots of spunk and she won't hesitate to incinerate you with magic bombardment if you annoy her in the slightest (which she does do in the games)
Let's see, in XI you take down the Shadow Lord, Eald'narche, Promathia, Alexander, Lilith, Hades, the Crystal Seed, Shinryu, and the Cloud of Darkness. All of whom are, frankly, more powerful than Shantotto. No, I really don't think her calling the players "total losers" is justified, certainly not compared to her.
...keep in mind said 'queen the size of a Moogle' has high-grade black magic at her beck and call...don't underestimate her, or to your grave you'll fall.
even in FFXIV event , they mention that shantotto is more dangerous than empire and beast tribe combine ( which is the major problem and antagonists in FFXIV )
@@DukeOnkled Id argue she may still be stronger, but I certainly believe she wouldn’t be looking down on them. I could see her being interesting in teach the Protag honestly.
A friendly reminder that if you tell the short-stack with the hips "No" that not only will she nuke you, she'll nuke your house and your bat-winged housekeeper, too.
I don't like it when she just speaks to them and they say nothing back. I bet Jecht really wanted to take a swing at her with his sword, Kuja wanted to blast her to bits, and Exdeath wanted to send her to the void.
Well it's partially because the cutscene rotates who's in their spot, so it'd be impractical to have everyone have lines for her and for her to have lines responding.
I love how the rhyme should have been "... a solid B plus", but she has to give a dig at the player and breaks it just to make sure they know its a B minus. XD
The "Cavernous Maws" bit refers to FFXI's Wings of the Goddess (and later, Abyssea) expansions as floating giant, well, maws that enjoy sucking nearby adventurers into alternate dimensions and even times.
I was only introduced to Shantotto in dissidia, as I missed out on playng ff11, but she quickly became one of my fav FF characters. She's just so entertaining. Despite the fact she's tiny, her magic is off the scale, more powerful then any other magic user making her size in no way obstacle, if anything it benefits her not making her a larger target. Her demeanor is interesting too, because it very much straddles the lines between good and evil, she has her own agendas, she's one of the most intelligent mages, and having gathered so much knowledge it puts everyone else beneath her. This being why she can laugh at others efforts because she simply has no fear or anything to gain. Because her focus is that of knowledge, it puts things like petty disputes under her, meaning good guys and bad guys are more like curiosities for her. She probably only sides with the good guys because the bad guys want to destroy everything, interfering with her pursuits. Thats what makes her fun, your seriously want to be standing with her then against her, shes arrogant but with good reason to be so, she gets a chuckle from it.
I’ve never ever played this game so I don’t know exactly how powerful she is but based upon countless comments here I believe you all. She is very attractive and her personality just oozes such sassiness and high standards. I LOVE HER! 🥰🥰🥰
At 1:08 I feel like "I hereby score you a solid B+" would have rhyme better. But then I remember Shantotto rarely give compliments that are actually good.
She was first referring to Chaos ("Chas"), but she then said, "or is it one of his lackeys?" Gabranth is technically on Chaos' side in the game, so... yeah. ^^;
Shantotto: I do believe you are talking about me and forget that I can see thee. Exdeath: ! Me: ! Shantotto: Now it is time for meet death, even more tragic than the end of MacBeth. (Blast me and Exdeath) Exdeath: NOOO! WHHYYYYYYYY! Me: YOU STILL SUCK Shantotto: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ever watched Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, My Life as a Teenage Robot, or played Final Fantasy X? It's Candi Milo, she's in many cartoons and games. :)
Behold. Dr. Seuss but with even more bloodlust. As if he fused with that bird that shoves it's prey on spikes/thorns/whatever sharp object it can find and then eats it. Edit: I just remembered the name. It's called a "Shrike." Seriously, it's real. Look it up.
I'll say this tho: out of all the tarutaru I encounter in ffxi so far, shantotto is by far the one I definitely look up to when it comes to fighting style
She has not fallen in battle and been around since the very first war. So her memories stay intact. The longer a warrior has been around the more memories they remain with. Falling in battle means forgetting memories. Falling to a manikin means permanent death i.e Lightning and company not being in the 13th war.
It's also because she oftentimes just goes to the Interdimensional Rift herself when she gets bored instead of being booted there by Shinryu when he gets tired of a fighter. Going to the rift effectively puts you outside of the cycle, which shields you from purification.
@SlvrStryker IDK i always wanna say Shantotto is the gift of the goddess but well it didnt make sense in Crisis Core i wonder what shantotto would say if heard genesis saying those loveless poems Shantotto: >.> Ummm I dont get it
I dunno...Im aware of who she is and all that. But I'd still be more terrified of hearing a Judge's armor clanking coming towards me or seeing Sephiroth walking at me through flames. And I think eith of those 2(as well as Ject & Aron) would school the prof.^^
Seeing as how she can spam Flare like it's Cure and knows pratically every single spell that could ruin your day (and very few require her to put in actual effort into them) I doubt that last sentence of yours.
@SetsunaAndKonoka14 ...naaah...she'd probably just Bind the guy and burn him to ashes. While making better rhyming. And laughing. Can't forget the laughing.
No, she's referring to Gabranth, not Chaos. She might have said 'Chas' because thats who Gabranth has sided with, seemingly. But then she says "Gabri... Gabro.. Gabrand..?" and mentions he's covered in armor, so it's not Chaos, it's Gabranth.
![[HD]Dissidia 012 Duodecim Cutscene - Gabranth meets Shantotto](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yQ4JdAC7JxI/mqdefault.jpg)
She lectured Exdeath, the father of long monologues. Holy Crap
"Not too bad...for someone who could barley handle my powerful magic."
Suddenly Exdeath.
He might be an evil tree formed from a mass of combined evil, but she's still the master.

I think I just fell in love with this comment
Good thing she's super easy to kick around :V
Also you never really beat her in Dissidia. Whenever she loses it turns out you're just fighting a weak clone of hers. >_

She is so powerful that she quite literally jumped multiverses and ended up in XIV to start Black Magic there.
I love how she ditched her rhyme scheme just to insult Kuja.
Or.... The laugh was intended to finish said rhyme.
@@AGKaiju not the laugh
The B minus instead of plus
@@NychusX It's a slant rhyme. Minus also ends on the same sound as "plus".
BAHAHAHAHAHA.
Shantotto talking down to Exdeath while he's towering over her and just standing there speechless like a total moron.
This is beautiful.
*Random player sees Shantotto for the first time*
"Awwww, she's so cu-- GWAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" (gets blasted into the sky)
...keep in mind said 'queen the size of a Moogle' has high-grade black magic at her beck and call...don't underestimate her, or to your grave you'll fall.
It's been a decade but nice dude
even in FFXIV event , they mention that shantotto is more dangerous than empire and beast tribe combine ( which is the major problem and antagonists in FFXIV )
I wonder how she'd stack up against FF14's protagonist now.
@@DukeOnkled Id argue she may still be stronger, but I certainly believe she wouldn’t be looking down on them. I could see her being interesting in teach the Protag honestly.

They know better. Lol
As if they could
Pretty sure she can take out all 3 separately, but at once, maybe, it’ll give her trouble
I love how the rhyme should have been "... a solid B plus", but she has to give a dig at the player and breaks it just to make sure they know its a B minus. XD
Shantotto's words must be a wildfire, yeah? 'Cause she burned that dumb tree so bad, he should be re-named California.
I just love the way her hips shake.
Her walk is so cute!
The "Cavernous Maws" bit refers to FFXI's Wings of the Goddess (and later, Abyssea) expansions as floating giant, well, maws that enjoy sucking nearby adventurers into alternate dimensions and even times.
Sounds like Atamos.

Best girl.
But clearly a case of "continues exposure will be harmful"
2:33 Square-Enix knew what they were doing.
"A fairly decent job, even with all the fuss,
I hereby score you a solid B minus."
Fell out of my chair when she didn't rhyme there.
She did though. Fuss rhymes with minus (pronounced "MY-NUSS")
@@p.v.7269 She pronounced it MY-nis.
I couldn't help but think of her taunt to Exdeath on the last scene.
"In you head... is the void."
FFXI should be a game NOT MMO! the story of that game is sooo awesome and needs to be shared
I know I'm like 6 years late but...just play the game. its good.
Jamario
@@AJamJammy You can't play it right? Didn't they shit it down?
@@gaigeschaal9070 it’s still up and it’s still getting updates
Omg.... 0:09
Look at shantotto cute widdle feet!! xD
//gets blasted//

I LOVE HER! 🥰🥰🥰
Gabri, gabro, gabrand...
GABRANTH YOU FOOL! >:3
Kuja: Fuck a B- crap chaos will kill me
I did this with kuja when i learned that you could do these stories with the character that you want.
" and by special, I mean very much so.
you would cry tears of joy! Ohohohoho! "
that's what I like about shantotto lol
1:06-TVTropes/SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion
Out of your friend which are you?
Shantotto: Truck Freak
Kefka: Crazy Ass
Exdeath: друг
Gabranth: Fighter
At 1:08 I feel like "I hereby score you a solid B+" would have rhyme better. But then I remember Shantotto rarely give compliments that are actually good.
I like to think she forces herself to speak in rhyme, just to keep herself entertained.
When playing Duodecim my first character in my party was and Ultimecia in the cutscene 💀
She was first referring to Chaos ("Chas"), but she then said, "or is it one of his lackeys?" Gabranth is technically on Chaos' side in the game, so... yeah. ^^;
I just like that fact she said maybe his days of being a total loser are coming to a end:P
Shantotto: I do believe you are talking about me and forget that I can see thee.
Exdeath: !
Me: !
Shantotto: Now it is time for meet death, even more tragic than the end of MacBeth.
(Blast me and Exdeath)
Exdeath: NOOO! WHHYYYYYYYY!
Me: YOU STILL SUCK
Shantotto: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*some theatre actor* Do not mention the Scottish Play!
I love how she rhymes!
Shantotto = Dr. Seuss
That's what makes it funny. She sets it up like she's going to give the character a B+.... then doesn't.
Ever watched Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, My Life as a Teenage Robot, or played Final Fantasy X?
It's Candi Milo, she's in many cartoons and games. :)
Me meanwhile thinking: Waddle waddle waddle waddle waddle waddle.. so tiny and cute. lol
LOL Exdeath is just like *stands there*
It's hilarious especially when you compare their size, Exdeath and Shantotto.
to the void with her!
2:33 Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle...

She's some kind of Principal or Teacher
how in the hell does she have her memory intact unlike the other ff characters? :/

Falling in battle means forgetting memories. Falling to a manikin means permanent death i.e Lightning and company not being in the 13th war.

Sheesh! She rhymes like Wheelie from the original Transformers animated movie and cartoon.
@SlvrStryker IDK i always wanna say Shantotto is the gift of the goddess but well it didnt make sense in Crisis Core i wonder what shantotto would say if heard genesis saying those loveless poems
Shantotto: >.> Ummm I dont get it
She Sounds Just Like Madam Foster From Fosters Home For Imaginary Kids ! ☺
That's because it is the same voice actor :3
I don't want her as my teacher 😢
. . . idk who should be feared more. A queen the size of a Moogle, or a tree who longs for the Void :|
I dunno...Im aware of who she is and all that. But I'd still be more terrified of hearing a Judge's armor clanking coming towards me or seeing Sephiroth walking at me through flames.

Hey, my second cutscene won't play. Do you know if it's because I have to do something first?
Shantotto: OOOOHOHOHOHO!!
Jecht: what the hell is this creepy thing?
Shantotto: Your worst nightmare, you deadbeat dumbbell.
@SlvrStryker could be the reason why she got herself in that mess.
...cavernous...HEY!!!
Well, at least we know she's got at least the Wings of the Goddess expansion. >_>;
Where do I know here voice from!?
This is driving me insane ¬.¬
Nora wakeman my life as a teenage robot ^^
@SetsunaAndKonoka14 ...naaah...she'd probably just Bind the guy and burn him to ashes.
While making better rhyming.
And laughing. Can't forget the laughing.
No, she's referring to Gabranth, not Chaos. She might have said 'Chas' because thats who Gabranth has sided with, seemingly. But then she says "Gabri... Gabro.. Gabrand..?" and mentions he's covered in armor, so it's not Chaos, it's Gabranth.
Exdeath got burned. And can someone give her a nickname of smash n' sass)
She ryhmes...
on shanto can rap
I can't tell when she's insulting people. Can someone translate this?
Aurum Nova Yup. One sec. Ahem.
Shantotto: "I'm always insulting you."
XD
So a translation from what i understood :
Shantotto : "You are a shit, stay in your pit. I am the best, you can't test"
im at dat ass
I laughed when I saw Exdeath. :D
@I'm Very Angry It's Not Butter
I know what you mean.
shes scary
Your puny magic is no match for the VOID.
I THOUGHT IT WAS GARLAND! XD!!
She short
I so enjoyed killing her with every other magic user.
Cavernous Maws was mentioned I lol'd when I saw this seen!
