Final Fantasy V/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fridge Brilliance

  • The game exemplifies the five elements of Japanese philosophy (Godai) perfectly. Not only are the four elements of Air/Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth present, the Void could also be considered one, as all four crystals kept the Void in check. This is also consistent with the Arc Number present in the game, as with the Void considered an element, there are five elements.

Fridge Horror

  • In Final Fantasy V Advance's Bonus Dungeon, one of the chambers leads to the game's second most powerful Bonus Boss, Omega MK II, an improved version of Omega, the robotic monstrosity who was the second-most powerful boss in the original. Prior to the room with the boss himself, you go through a room reminiscent of one of the rooms in the Sealed Pyramid, with a bunch of mechs crawling all over a small room. Except instead of the "Mecha Head" enemy, they are perfect replicas of Omega itself. Now, think about what this means. Someone, somewhere took Omega, a mechanical beast too powerful for the 12 Sealed Weapons, a monster capable of incinerating heroes with massive lasers, ruining the best parties in a turn, and temporarily erasing people from existence, and mass-produced it. And improved upon its design. Who is this person? Are they still working on these things? And why?
    • It is believed by some people that Omega is self-replicant and self-improving.
      • THAT'S EVEN WORSE!
      • And in Final Fantasy XII, it's canon. Bartz and friends are so goddamned lucky they don't live in Ivalice.
      • It doesn't matter where they live anymore. Omega has started traveling the Rift like Shinryu and Gilgamesh, and can appear anywhere anytime.
