Tactical Demo: Terra and Kuja VS Garland

[railenthe]

Here’s a demonstration of Mama Bear and Papa Wolf’s abilities.  SPECIAL NOTE:  Terra’s squishy because her level’s below the threshold for the course—I’m using a level accessory that requires me sticking a level under 20.

 

 

 

 

Note how even after being nerfed, Terra has some of the highest damage output in the game still. Also note that the Holy Combo that ends the battle never connected with its first hits…

 

They cover all of the range increments between them, and if you watch carefully, at that last combo?  Terra’s Holy didn’t have the time to hit.  She combos into Flare and Ultima off of Kuja’s hit.

 

Yep.

The build information is on the original Youtube Vid.

Epic music just because.

I have to say I disagree. Primarily due to the Ultimania information given about Soulcage but also because Soulcage seems unable to even consider reasoning with mortals whilst Necron does.

As for Sephiroth7734's reasoning as to why the world was covered in mist, that was actually the result of Kuja opening the doorway to Memoria. Since Memoria is made of the memories of all living things he needed to access souls from both crystals (Terra's crystal still existed due to being fused with Gaia's) in order to create the path to the original crystal which he would destroy and therefore take out all of existence with. Also Terra's attempt at assimilating Gaia had begun due to Kuja successfully killing enough people over the course of the game for Terra's cycle of souls to be strong enough to dominate Gaia's causing the Iifa Tree to have a violent reaction. The mist would've been spewed out as a side effect of said reaction.

Yeah, I kind of overthought FFIX's plot when it came to research for my giant Kuja analysis.

Well I just wanted to show you because it was an interesting theory...And while Ultimanias are usually the Ultimate Word of God for game content, their explanation for Necron just comes of as somewhat half-assed. It doesn't help they don't try to give some more info.

Oh I appreciate the thought, don't get me wrong, unfortunately I tend to get a little...um...intense when it comes to Final Fantasy IX.

Yes, I understand your grief over the lack of explination for Necron. Unfortunately it would seem that the developers want us all to have our own interpretation as to what he truly is rather than go to any effort as to creating a reason for his existence other than they need to have the party doing something else whilst Kuja atones. Though I believe their intention was for us to perceive Necron as life itself and so the party is fighting for their right to exist to the utmost extreme, culminating the theme of appreciating life for what it is and being your own person/taking destiny into your own hands. Because Kuja technically won the last battle and killed the party, they needed a deus ex machina to fix it and give the player a chance to WIN. That's what I assume the point of Necron was anyhow. It's the version that makes my brain hurt the least.

Understood. Moving on to another subject where can you get Ultimanias? I've never seen them in stores...or is it a Japan only thing D:

Re: Goblins...?

[toffeethesnob.livejournal.com]

Yep. Japan only sadly. No english equivalent. *sigh* You can buy them from amazon.jp if you have an account (which is how I got them) but the shipping fees are atrocious so it's best only done if you desperately want them. I am tempted to get VII's but I don't get quite as excited about it as I do with Dissidia or IX...
