Psaro's initial state is quite powerful; he starts at level 35 and all his stats are high, not to mention he can learn powerful spells such as [[Lightning Storm]] and [[Magic Burst]] (most of which originally premiered in later {{Main Series}} installments.) If the player chooses to pursue the bonus content and make Psaro an ally they will quickly find that he is more than a jack-of-all-trades, being adept at healing, support, and especially offensive abilities. If the time is taken to level him up he will swiftly become the most powerful ally in the game, vastly outshining the {{Hero 4}}.

If the time is taken to level him up he will swiftly become the most powerful ally in the game, vastly outshining the {{Hero 4}}. He can furthermore equip [[Cursed Equipment]] without penalty and without having his stats lowered. Also, as if all the above wasn’t enough, his ultimate equipment is far better than both the [[Legendary Equipment|Zenithian]] and [[Liquid metal armour|Liquid Metal]] set. | ||

*Originally the {{Hero 4}}'s [[Hidden Valley|hometown]] was discovered when the [[inn]]keeper allowed a traveling poet room and shelter, with his actions being noticed by some monsters. The remakes replace him with Psaro, who was posing as a traveler to find the {{Hero 4}}'s home. | *Originally the {{Hero 4}}'s [[Hidden Valley|hometown]] was discovered when the [[inn]]keeper allowed a traveling poet room and shelter, with his actions being noticed by some monsters.

*Psaro's appearance is strikingly-similar to that of ''[[Final Fantasy]]''' [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII ''VII'']'s [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sephiroth Sephiroth]. The two bear some similarities beyond design, as well, as they both have tragic stories and take on monstrous forms to do battle with their respective heroic adversaries. These similarities are frequent subjects of jokes among Japanese fans, such as suggesting that Psaro and Sephiroth are actually secret twins, or sometimes calling one of them "Psaroth". | |||
**The {{Hero 4}} and Sephiroth are able to encounter one another via a match in {{SSB5}}. | |||
*Despite Psaro being able to equip cursed equipment without penalty, he is unable to equip the [[Death mask]], likely due to the development team deliberately preventing him from gaining a high amount of Defence with little effort. | |||
*As revealed in an event in ''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars]]'', Psaro's last name is "Banesword". | *As revealed in an event in ''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars]]'', Psaro's last name is "Banesword". | ||
*Psaro's outfit is inspired by clothes worn by baroque princes—hence the puffed sleeves and pants—which may indicate that he is of high birth. Psaro's bestiary entry in the Japanese version of {{Dragon Quest IX}} describes him as a prince, corroborating this interpretation. | *Psaro's outfit is inspired by clothes worn by baroque princes—hence the puffed sleeves and pants—which may indicate that he is of high birth.
