Background

Cosmos as she appears on the game's logo.

Cosmos is the Goddess of Harmony who opposes Chaos, God of Discord. Before Dissidia: Final Fantasy takes place, Cosmos and Chaos fought once before. Cosmos was unable to unite the power of the Crystals and was defeated by Chaos. Her power is taken from her in the form of the 10 crystals. She summons the heroes in an attempt to restore balance to the world and regain her powers.

She is voiced by Sumi Shimamoto and in English she is voiced by Kathleen McInerney.

Cosmos Unites the Heroes

Cosmos summons the heroes in order to repel and ultimately defeat Chaos and the villains. Cosmos, severely weakened by the first battle between herself and Chaos, attempts to aid each of the heroes in reclaiming their respective crystals. However, as the heroes were once united, they are dispersed in the world of Dissidia: Final Fantasy, while they each reclaim their crystals.

The heroes are successful and reunite the 10 crystals. However, just as they approach Cosmos' Throne, Chaos appears and kills Cosmos. The attempt to strengthen Cosmos fails, and the heroes are given a new mission: To defeat Chaos.
