Final Fantasy IX/WMG: Difference between revisions

=== Necron is the incarnation of Kuja's despair ===

"...as long as there is life and death..." }}

 

The resemblence is all there in the boss battle: Necron is (pale) blue, bald, and the humanoid half of his body is certainly muscular enough. So obviously, after leaving Earth, Doctor Manhattan spends many centuries refining his powers before setting forth on his mission to create life: in this respect, he creates life of several formerly barren planets- two of which are Terra and Gaia. He also gives several of his engineered species latent supernatural powers in the form of magic, before retreating to the Crystal World, the replacement for the totalled Glass Palace left back on Mars. However, after watching his creations war and kill over the next several million years, he begins to lose faith in life again. By the time Kujah's [[Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum]] comes to a close, Doctor Manhattan is ready to obliterate all his old work in the new galaxy and focus on something different. However, his defeat forces him into yet another epiphany, and he decides to give his creations another chance.

* And Zidane's speech about not being afraid and wishing to live on (and proving his desire to live by fighting and triumphing), reminded him of his epiphany, years and years and years ago, on Mars about how truly miraculous life is. Also, Necron/Manhattan's proclamation of being eternal was just an echo of his final line in Watchmen: "'In the end'? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.'"

=== Necron is Death. ===

As in The Grim Reaper. Anthropomorphic Personification and all that Jazz. The fight against him happens for EVERYBODY when they die, which happens to the heroes after Trance Kuja takes them down with him. The reason it doesn't happen to you earlier in the game is because you couldn't possibly win against him up until the Endgame. The reason he acts like Zeromus is to trick the heroes into wanting to fight him; since they're clearly good people who really don't deserve to die, he decides to not give them a choice as to whether to take the test to come back to life.

And nothing more. Square left his real identity ambiguous because we don't need to know it.

* Now that's just crazy.

=== Necron lives in the Moongle's red pompom. ===

=== Necron is [[Blackest Night|Nekron]] ===

== Necron is Ash's Father ==

== Forgoing Necron, Zidane is an alternate universe equivalent to [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Edward Elric]]. ==

The lines proceeding the last FMV and the FMV themselves are a delusion of Garnet's. Afterwards, She and Tantalus had tea and a good laugh about it, but she never was the same. [[Poison Oak Epileptic Trees|Even if I don't want to believe this and sincerely hope it isn't true.]]

== Kuja is a Red Mage. ==

* I always put down Freya as a liar about her class, she may be able to jump, but she has the "Dragon" skills that are kinda-magic (Even if the only ones I ever used were Rei's Wind and Lancet) White hair, [[Nice Hat|Awesome Red hat with decoration]]...

** Those aren't decorations. Those are her ears.

They're not simple-minded so much as speaking a second language that they don't bother to learn. This troper suspects they use a Southeastern Asian language, in order to explain the [[Gratuitous Foreign Language|barrel marked with the character for "alcohol" in the feast hallucination had by Quina]].

== Amarant is Eiko's father. ==

== The party came closer to beating Beatrice than she let on. ==

The way she keeps Stock Break in reserve, and the fact that when you get her its a very high MP cost attack, indicates that she was using it as a last resort. The party might have literally had her on her last legs before she swatted them. She's not almighty when you get her as a party member, and the fact that she gets stronger as the battles go on indicates she may have been doing a bit of [[Level Grinding]] herself. Her sparing the rest of the party may be as much respect for how much fight her opponents put up as contempt for said opponents.

Baku is close enough to Cid to be the first person he turns to when he needs Princess Garnet kidnapped, despite seeming to be just the leader of Tantalus. Regent Cid evidently trusts Baku enough to have him flying the Hilda Garde 3 at the end, with the rest of Tantalus on board, despite him owning a large army with other airship pilots. There's also a statue near the entrance to Lindbulm which Zidane says "looks a little like Baku," and it's revealed towards the end that "Baku always loved a grand charge." Plus, he's allowed access to Lindbulm and Alexandria castle seemingly at will, and knows the way around both.

 

He said that Terra had absorbed many planets before in an attempt to survive, but first they needed to be weakened. So what's to say he didn't construct an animal variation on the Iifa tree and send it to Cloud's world to consume the lifestream and then replace it with Terra's

 

* Don't the rest of the Tantalus (sans Ruby, who isn't an orphan) also share names with the characters? Baku probably named them; Marcus, who seems the oldest, even has the name of the main character of the play. Garland calls Zidane by that name as a [[Ascended Fanon|Sure Why Not]] moment.

 

Garland was named after... Garland, since the king remembered the days when Garland was a knight of Cornela/Corneria. The Garland we see is simply Garland *insert Roman numeral here*. [[And Zoidberg|Also, Mount Gulug]].

* Why would Mount Gulug be on a different planet than Garland's homeworld?

Vivi and the rest of the black mages somehow found a way to create ''other'' black mages that wouldn't have such a restricted lifespan. They could have worked with the Genomes to find the right way to go about it. So Vivi's children aren't strictly his, but they are black mages created by his ''idea'' to give black mages a longer lifespan. So they're more the children of his idea.

 

 

In theory, that is an alternate way to break the [[FF 1]] time loop. It removes the need to send Garland back in time, and the Four Fiends' origin. But because evil won in the end, the world turns out darkly. The Lufenish retain their supertechnology, but the crystals are still drained for reasons no one is capable of seeing.

The desparate Lufenish develop dimensional travel and soul manipulation, and eventually put together the Terran's plans as seen in Final Fantasy 9.
