Never explained.

Cloud of Darkness

This its a FF3 reference
The entire game is a gigantic FF1-5 reference

His name goes something like "we wrote ourselves into a corner because by all means of the plot Kuja won, so we needed an asspull"

it's not entirely an asspull, there's a few vague as fuck flavor texts in the game that point to him and not kuja being the final villain.

Its the same shit as the Lion Turtle at the end of Avatar.

he's death nigga, did you play the damn game

the entire game deals with finding purpose in life. vivi and the other black mages are probably the plot point that most directly deals with it, but it's relevant throughout all the rest of the story, right down to another planet waiting for everyone to die so their own culture can go on living on top of the grave

you aren't fighting a person or a monster, you're fighting the concept that the entire game deals with because kuja's final attack pushes you to the brink of death and you're fighting something like everyone's inner fear of death.

>pulls entire planet out of orbits to hit you

>4000 damage

This is correct.
9 is literally a throwback to their roots after 2 games and a movie of science fantasy and CGI.

Literally who?

What flavor texts?

If anything it seemed like he was a quickie replacement for Hades (who was supposed to be the final boss)

...

death

I don't remember her

if you sniff my drift, cry you rat bitch

Not as bad as Supernova, which cannot even kill you.

>characters constantly fat/ugly shame her

How can we accept this in the current year?

That whole fight was a mental fight, it didn't physically happen. The niggas just had so much willpower to live that sephy couldn't touch em

fat people are literally evil and greed incarnate

Only the final Cloud vs Sephiroth battle that you cannot lose was a mental fight.

BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY

A GAAAAME THEORY

Delete this.

Soulcage

This. I came to post this.

2 deep 4 me

It's Death. If his name was Death this meme wouldn't be a fucking thing. Who is that faggot? It's Fucking DEATH. You broke the crystal of life, what do you think would happen?

>not just using life on soulcage and skipping the the fight entirely

i think the point is he literally just comes out of nowhere right at the end and is never mentioned before

>Eiko Carol
>Amarant Coral

They couldn't come up with something a little more different sounding?

i dont think they ever even say their last names in game so it doesnt matter

*is irrelevant in your path*

best chef and frog hunter

>nobody else has realized that this boss is a bigg FF5 reference, literally Necron, a void monster
>ff9s endgame actually brought their world close to being voidraped like FF5
Its actually kinda neat, at least in terms of FF9s connection to the rest of the series

His name is fucking necron. How fucking hard is it to look up the suffix necro? Every word related to it has to do with death. Retard v kids

>A diety
>Out of nowhere
>Every fucking time

Ffs, it could have been the perfect game minus those last hours.

>physical attacks mostly deal shit damage
>offensive blue magic almost always misses

Yeah, fuck that guy. Oops, didn't mean to assume xir gender.

motherfuckers think shit like
Bahamut and Tiamat are original Square enix creations
>the absolute state

OP posted the wrong character
> the superboss a fucking tie-die orb

they were also hanging out right next to the core of their fucking planet so it's not like the logic of this ancient unknowable being could be comprehended by them anyway. seemed like kuja's narcissistic thoughts of dying and taking all life with him, in proximity to the untainted source of all life, the crystal, woke up this limbo god who thought it was being signaled to end the world.

*nothing personnels your path, kid*

Would people really prefer the game ended fighting Canary Kuja?

Anyway Zeromus in the oh-so-beloved FFIV was just as "out of nowhere", really.

Honestly this game would have been 50x better if the last boss was just another form or something for Kuja. Or at least explain this boss throughout the game if this is your aim

>actually an ancient eidolon forgotten over the wins, that became distorted

i think it's just a bad translation job desu. the japanese name is a reference to cloud of darkness. should've been translated more abstract in that same sense.

>plz spoonfeed me

Kuja was the main villain, so yeah.

That doesn't mean he'd be a satisfying boss to end on

better than a literally who

Yes it does.

cloud of darkness is a metaphor for death if you think about it.

why do people who nitpick always seem to be asking to be given less? how does getting less make you happier in so many situations?

>Have a boss with zero build up who comes out of literally no where as the final boss.

not less, just something that makes more sense

Because the game literally builds up to Kuja

It would if they gave him an epic final form like Kefka, Sephiroth and Ultimecia.

Honestly nine was a fantastic game until the ending overall

>fight the one thing kuja is afraid of

>b-b-but fighting kuja would've been so much better!

as if it weren't obvious enough he spells this out in his death cry where he says as long as life and death exists, he will be around

he is the reaper

>strong heals for little MP
>remedy everyone for cheap
>can do 9999 very early on and also later with limit glove and frog drop
>tankiest mage character

Quina's relevancy be damned, they're still extremely useful. Besides, on a game where a huge theme is death, its role is to be the one to tell everyone to enjoy life and to stop and eat the roses.

*cutes your path*

>Hades (who was supposed to be the final boss)
source?

i agree wholefartedly

I don't understand why you would want some out of nowhere boss as the final boss instead of the villain that was built up throughout the story. I still remember Kuja achieveing trance and giving everyone the middle finger by doing so. What has necron done?

useful in gameplay

completely useless to the plot. so useless you don't even need to interact with him until the plot requires him to be in the party to find Fossil Roo.

I was 13 years old when i first time finished it, didn't give a fuck about ass pulls, got hyped to kill monstrosity in the end, that was hella of a journey.

Ozma's lore is cool as fuck though. He was some all powerful eidolon that got sealed in a rock, and slowly lost a distinct form, since the legends that gave his raw power a physical form also faded and disappeared, leaving only a raw blob of powerful energy

You could literally remove all these characters and the overall game would be much better. Zidane, Garnet, Vivi and Steiner was already a full group that played off each other and had great interactions.

yeah and then you fight kuja

and fighting right next to the spiritual ancestral core of your entire world caught the attention of some void-walking horrorterror and they had to deter it as a result

how would that be less of an asspull. kuja is on the verge of expiring, by his creator's own design, he just let off a friggin Ultima splosion like ten feet from the heart of the planet

where would he get a second form from and how would that be better

Say what you want about the boss, the final theme was hype as fuck. Probably my favorite out of all of em.

Sounds unnecessary

for what reason does kuja save the party after the fight? also why does zidane go to find him in the tree?

No there aren't. I even replayed the game from start to finish about a year ago actively looking for any foreshadowing to this guy and found nothing. Maybe there was some foreshadowing in the Japanese script and it got lost in translation, but for the English release this asshole came out of nowhere and ended up being completely inconsequential anyway.

>superboss is a tide pod

Quina should just eat it

the party and kuja overcame their fear of death, and so kuja wanted them to live. he got beaten to hell and realized it was wrong to try and drag them down with him. zidane, whose motto is literally "i don't need a reason to help people", takes kuja's sentiment a step further and comes back for him.

they probably had a brotherly moment off somewhere and kuja died, between them reuniting in the tree, and zidane resurfacing in alexandria later.

Taste bad!

>ended up being completely inconsequential anyway.
brainlets have literally forgotten the concept of a metaphor.

So pure fluff basically

angel's snack + white wind nigga
quina is literally one of the most useful characters in the game as a healer

you sound like the kind of person who has the museum scene in ferris bueller explained to them, makes a stupid face and goes "pfft, that's stupid, it's just dots"

White Wind comes in handy from Lindblum to Cleyra when Garnet is out of the party, but it's quite costy and only heals something like 1/3 of your HP. The only times I ever used Angel Snack were against Ozma and Necron.

Fratley posters are the cancer that's killing Sup Forums. Go back to /burmecia/.

Was he a virgin?

yea blank or marcus mention that he's never been in a serious relationship

do genomes even have functioning reproductive organs?

i think he has a dick

I'm more surprised black mages have dicks.

>zidane was a closet faggot who constantly hit on women to try cover it up
It all makes sense now.

I liked Freya before they forgot she existed but you're right.

>when u name him "Homo" or "Homer"

Just a chill dude that was interrupted his tea time for those child that wants to blow everything.

You could remove Eiko, Freya, Amarant and Quina from the party and the game would largely play out the same with very minor rewrites.

Fucking Freya basically being forgotten after Iifa is still something that floors me.

If it was just a grim reaper you'd get it.

Who cares if they're minor characters ; Quina is broken AF and loads of fun to use.

>just add death as a final boss out of literally nowhere
Still doesn't feel right

>never been in a serious relationship
>thus implies he never had sex

Nah nerd, YOU have never had sex.

Amarant served no grand purpose in the story other than providing a separate perspective on Zidane, yes.

But Eiko, Freya, and to a lesser extend Quina, are there to reinforce the main theme of the game, "finding purpose and meaning to life, in the face of fate".
Their presence is obviously diminished because their story is just different flavors of the more dramatic tales of Vivi's lifespan, Steiner's loyalty, Garnet's princesshood, and Zindane's saiyanshit, but it still brings attention to the central theme of the game.

Your token "kill god" of JRPG fame

Always thought her eyes was on her helmet

Yeah they do. They actually tell you if you talk to a random genome in terra, the first time you arrive to their village.
