Official Biography
He is an honest young man. Somber but extremely headstrong, his parents are the most renowned and highly respected scholars of symbolical genetics in the Pangalactic Federation. Fayt also studies Symbological Genetics in the Bachtein Science University, and while he is studious, he prefers playing sports and games to studying. He commits himself daily to martial arts practice in the "battle simulator." Although he can be stubborn at times, he is thoughtful and never abandons a person in need.
Information
The main character of Star Ocean 3, Fayt is a seemingly-normal college student from Earth. His father, Robert Leingod, is a famous authority on Symbological Genetics, a highly controversial scientific field, and does much of his work on the orbital colony of Moonbase. Fayt is somewhat lazy when it comes to his college work and takes every opportunity during his vacation to Hyda IV, a famous resort planet, to ignore that work; he does this mostly by playing games. Specifically, combat simulation holographic games. In spite of this, Fayt is a loyal and honorable young man who will never abandon someone in need of help. When Hyda IV is attacked and Fayt is lost on an underdeveloped planet, the combat "games" prove themselves as good practice with his weapon of choice: the sword.
Battle Performance
In battle, Fayt uses his sword and the majority of his attacks are short ranged. His HP and MP growth rates are above average, and he is capable of dealing notable amounts of both HP and MP damage with his Battle Skills. His Defense growth is the highest in the game, and he is the fastest runner in battle.

Analysis
Fayt is the main character of Star Ocean 3, yet he is not well-rounded for the role. His physical techniques are few and far between, with only a few that hit multiple times; the majority of his magic techniques are elemental enchantments. He has very few MP-damaging attacks, making him inadequate for bosses with a shortage of MP. Fayt's most important quality is the elemental attacks he obtains with his Symbology.
Trivia
- His 3P Costume pays homage to Claude C. Kenni, the protagonist of Star Ocean: The Second Story.
- Jack Russel of Radiata Stories gains a Fayt costume after a certain scene. He also shares Fayt's victory pose when using a one-handed sword.
- Fayt is the first main character in the series not to use the Edarl Sword Style (Albel Nox uses it instead).
