HCBailly plays Final Fantasy IV (Super Famicom) - Part 60 of 70


Uh, Cecil? Edge? We kinda need a good healer and a good spellcaster not named FuSoYa for this. Guys? Guys?!?


From where you fought the Four Feinds, go north. You'll fight off the core of the Giant.

Destroy the DefenseSys (the lower-right orb). Have Rydia summon the Sylphs to destroy it immediately while attacking the other two Orbs. From here, you can attack the ControlSys with your strongest physical attacks and summons. The Attack Sys (the upper-right orb) will cast Reflect on the ControlSys so it can cast Laser on it and hit the whole party. From here, do not destroy the AttackSys before destroying the ControlSys, or else the ControlSys will cast Globe 199 and do some immense damage.

After destroying the core, the giant will be stopped, then Golbez storms in. FuSoYa confronts him and tries to get Golbez to remember who he is. Golbez comes to his senses, and it is revealed that Golbez really is Cecil's brother and that he was controlled by Zemus. Golbez plans to end everything by fighting Zemus on the moon, and FuSoYa goes with him. Before Cecil can go after Golbez, the Giant of Bab-il begins to collapse. Suddenly, Kain shows up, this time back to his senses again, and helps Cecil and company get out as the giant explodes.

Back on the Magical Ship, Kain announces that he is back to his senses again, and Edge nearly attacks Kain for summoning the giant, but Rosa reminds him that Kain was also under Zemus' control while explaining to Kain what is going on. Edge is still reluctant to trust Kain in case he loses control again, but Kain tells him to kill him outright if he becomes evil again.

Rydia and Rosa tell Cecil they want to go, but Cecil tells them to stay here while he, Edge and Kain take on Zemus themselves, as there is no guarantee that they will come back alive, with Edge telling Rydia to be a good little girl and Rydia telling Edge she would hate to be him if he weren't kidding, saying he would end his reproductive years rather quickly. Edge, Kain and Cecil fly to the moon after they leave, then it is revealed that Rosa and Cecil never left. Rosa refuses to move unless Cecil takes him with her. Cecil reluctantly lets her come with them, then Rydia shows up and tells Rosa that she knew this would work and says that this is everyone's fight. You'll then be back on the moon. (I swear this whole part of the story is absolutely crap - I mean, it's pretty obvious from the get-go that everyone has their reasons to fight here - and is an even worse idea than Budget rental jetpacks. Why on earth would you tell the only women in your party - as well as the source of your strongest magical attacks and healing throughout most of the game - to go home and "let the men do it because we might not come back alive?" This accomplishes absolutely jack shit for the story - as you'll see later - and was not even necessary, even in the DS and Steam PC versions. As a matter of fact, it was so unnecessary that even Wikipedia itself refuses to acknowledge it.)

(By the way, if you go back to Blacksmith Kukuro's house in the underworld, you can buy Shurikens, HellWind Shurkines and Yoichi Arrows in case you really need any.)
