    Profile

    The following is translated from the Shining Force CD Official Guide Book written by Famitsu and published by Aspect.[1]

    Barry (バリー)

    Race: Birdperson

    種族 鳥人

    Job: Birdperson → Birdler

    職業 鳥人→バードラー

    Usable Magic: None

    使用魔法 なし

    One of the Cypress resistance fighters imprisoned in the fortress on Miniyomu Island. More than anything, the appeal of being a high flyer is getting the chance to support others by collecting treasure, carrying baggage, and searching for hidden items. If you ask Stock, Barry isn't really one for details, tending to focus on the big picture instead.

    ミニヨム島の砦に幽閉されていた、サイプレスのレジスタンス。空を飛べるのが何より魅力で、宝の回収に、荷物の運搬に、隠しアイテムの探索にと活躍してくれる。ストックによればわりと大ざっぱな性格らしい。

    Editor's Note

    Barry's promoted class, バードラー (bādorā, "birdler"), is probably a combination of the words "bird" (バード, bādo) and "battler" (バトラー, batorā).

    The English localization's choice to name the character Claude is presumed to be a pun on "clawed", i.e., "having talons". If there is a reference to be found in the Japanese name, (バリー, Barii, "Barry"), it is not known.
