Deflector Shields: Difference between revisions

** ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'''s cities are protected by a "Paling," a [[Magick]] force field projected by a massive crystal in the center of town, that lets travelers pass through but keeps hostile creatures (or attacks) outside. Once the Paling falls, the city becomes vulnerable to assault and invasion—or the stray airship that was just shot out of the sky.

*** Actually the paling was up in that particular event, it's simply that even a paling can't provide adequate protection from a city-sized battlecruiser falling on it.

** In ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'', [[Ominous Floating Castle|Lunatic]] [[Evil Tower of Ominousness|Pandora]] is protected by a ''massive'' energy field... which is promptly pierced by the [[Cool Ship|Ragnarok]] [[Ramming Always Works|ramming it]]. May be justified in that it's possibly an anti-magic or anti-energy weapon shield, and the Ragnarok did have to struggle just to get through it.

** In ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', the Northern Crater is engulfed by an energy dome that repels any attempt to break in (the [[Global Airship|Highwind]] even bounces off violently if you fly into it). It's brought down by a [[Metaphysical Fuel|titanic shot of Mako]] from the transplanted [[Wave Motion Gun|Sister Ray]].
