Alonso

"The ship is perfectly safe, I guarantee it. I give you my word as a captain."

- Alonso

Alonso is a playable character in Grandia III. He is a sailor who travels the seas of the world in his own boat. On land, he is a gambler and a womaniser, but in the sea, his eyes regain their sparkle, and his soul burns with dependable passion. He claims to know Schmidt, but nobody believes him. Nonetheless, he's the party's best lead, and, once they help him reclaim his gambled-away boat from Bianca, sails them to the mainland.

Alonso also has a repartee with Ulf, who forms a connection with Yuki when he visits his friend's ship partway to the mainland, eventually joining the permanent party.

Alonso joins shortly after the second encounter with Kornell and leaves when the party meets Schmidt at Mendi City.

Battle
Alonso swings a long spear which is similar to a harpoon as a weapon. Therefore he has excellent reach when attacking. Alonso will be considered the powerhouse player before the party meets Ulf. Alonso's magic and MP are both on the lower side of the spectrum. Also, like Ulf, some of his critical hits are more prone to launching enemies for aerial strikes, so he's great exactly where he should be: on the front lines and dishing out punishment to the enemy party.

Since Alonso is only briefly a member of the party, he obtains only two special moves, both learned by default.
