The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Difference between revisions

** [[Final Fantasy III|The Dark World]], which was preceded by [[It's All Upstairs From Here|a giant crystal tower]].

** [[Final Fantasy IV|The crystalline core of the moon]].

** [[Final Fantasy V|The Interdimensional Rift]], composed of the pieces of the world destroyed by the Void.

** [[Final Fantasy VI|The shattered remnants of the world, formed into a blasphemous tower]], with {{spoiler|a [[Disc One Final Dungeon|fake-out TVDFD]] in the form of a '''''[[Floating Continent]]'''''}}.

*** The VDFD for ''Wings of the Goddess'' has not been unveiled yet, though it seems it may be in the next story update. Players have been given glimpses of a fragmented town suspended in ethereal space with a massive maw in the "sky" over it. There is also the continuing hope that this expansion will finally grant players access to the Marquisette of Tavnazia, the city destroyed in the intro fmv.

** [[Final Fantasy XII|A flying fortress]].

** [[Final Fantasy XIII|A strange, shifting, "digitized" dimension that is the "cradle" for your unborn enemy]].

*** [[Final Fantasy XIII-2|The largest city in the world, evacuated.]] Might not be the most impressive, but certainly the most unnerving.

** [[Final Fantasy Tactics|The ruined airship of some ancient civilization.]]

** [[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance|A royal valley in the throes of excessive reality warping]].

** [[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (video game)|A lone mountain, isolated far away from known civilization and right at the edge of the visible world, bearing the meteor which first brought miasma to the world.]] Then right when you are about to destroy the {{spoiler|Meteor Parasite}}, {{spoiler|Raem}} intervenes and teleports you to an [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield]]. Interestingly, after {{spoiler|Raem}}'s defeat, you are returned to right where you left off -- dealing the finishing blow to {{spoiler|the Parasite.}}

* The final dungeons of the ''[[World of Mana]]'' tend to take place in or near the [[World Tree]]. Exceptions:

* ''[[Baten Kaitos]]: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean'' had Cor Hydrae, the ancient castle of Malpercio currently floating in the middle of a dimensional rift.

** And the prequel gave us Tarazed, a colossal machina construct powered by {{spoiler|captured afterlings}} and serving as both the new capital of [[The Empire]] and said empire's continent-shattering superweapon.

** The final dungeon of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' was an entirely black-and-white castle ''completely inside of a black hole''.

** The final dungeon of the original ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'' is a flying castle (Bowser's). The final ''battle'' is on a special Bowser-boosting arena mimicking the appearance of his Clown Car, and is accessed via a temporary bridge leading from Peach's Castle, which is on top of Bowser's Castle.

** The final chapter of ''[[Mother 3]]'' takes your party to New Pork City. It's clear that there's no going back, since the overworld has been [[Doomed Hometown|completely abandoned]], and just about every NPC you've ever met is there with you. The final battle itself takes place deep underground, like in ''[[Earthbound]]''.

* ''[[Golden Sun]]'' has [[Evil Tower of Ominousness|Mars Lighthouse]], the final [[Cosmic Keystone]] that you've hiked across six continents (and [[One Game for the Price of Two|two games]]) to reach, located at the very edge of the world. It isn't even marked on your map.

* [[Spoiler Title|As predicted by the title]], the last battle of ''[[Lufia and The Fortress of Doom]]''... is in the Fortress of Doom, which sits on a floating island. Not too surprisingly, this is also where the game usually sends the players in all the other games...

* In ''[[Eternal Sonata]]'' the Final Dungeon is just some tower out in the desert. {{spoiler|However, that desert is located on the Moon, which acts as the dreamworld's Purgatory. The final battlefield (accessed by a portal at the top of the tower) is implied by [[Wikipedia|That Other Wiki]] to be the core of the dream, but by others to be the ruins of the [[Where It All Began|Tenuto flowerfield.]]}}
