| LeonhartFour 10/02/19 12:58:27 AM #41: | In fact, I'm already tired of this Queen of Cards nonsense, so let's move on to Lunatic Pandora! As we approach, we get a cool cutscene of the Ragnarok busting through its barriers and digging its claws into the inside, quite literally. Seriously, best airship. When we disembark, Raijin and Fujin are there to meet us. At this point, we're so overpowered that the battle is no problem at all. A couple of screens in, we "encounter" Biggs and Wedge for the last time (I say "encounter" because they never really even notice we're there!). Biggs has had enough of being bossed around by Seifer, so when Wedge jokingly suggests that he quit, he takes him up on it and drags him along for good measure! The weird thing about Lunatic Pandora is that all the random enemies here are level 1, for whatever the reason, so they barely give any EXP and they have low level spells to draw. You can use Tonberry's LVL Up skill if you want to boost them up so you can get better stuff from them, but I don't bother with that kinda thing! Eventually, we're able to get our revenge on Mobile Type 8! Eventually, we run into Seifer, as Raijin and Fujin restrain Ellone. He tells them to attack, but they both hesitate. They release Ellone and tell Seifer they've had enough because he doesn't know what's right anymore. He said he thought they were a posse, and for the first time, Fujin speaks "normally." Now if this means that she was always able to speak normally and chose not to, or this extreme situation helped her overcome her normal impediment, I can't say, but it's a pretty awesome speech. Fujin says they always will be a posse, and it's because of that bond that they want to help Seifer. They're willing to do anything to help him fulfill his dreams, but he's being manipulated. He's lost himself and his dream, so they can't follow him anymore. They want the old Seifer back, but since they can't get through to him, they have to rely on Squall. When Fujin asks if Seifer still plans to keep going, he tells them that it's been fun, and they run off. A neat little detail you can see during this scene is that the bottom of Seifer's coat is very frayed and ragged, showing how far he's fallen and perhaps how badly Squall and company have beaten him up. Seifer proclaims that he's given up on being a knight and now considers himself a revolutionary. He says he's always gotta be doing something big (perhaps the first truly self-aware moment he's had all game!), and now that he's come this far, he plans to reach the goal, and he won't share it with them. If you've acquired Odin by this point, you'll get what is probably Seifer's coolest moment in the game. Odin will come out as if he's doing his Zantetsuken insta-kill, except Seifer will reverse it and cut him in half (but the sword will be grabbed by a certain someone as it flies away!). This was such an unexpected moment the first time I saw it. The battle automatically ends when Gilgamesh shows up having received the last sword he needed and blows Seifer away. It's a timed battle if you've got Odin, and Seifer's HP never runs out. If you don't, then it's just a normal fight. Rinoa will be sad that it's come to this and will walk away, but Seifer hops back to his feet in an impressive display of agility and takes her hostage. He takes her to Adel as she pleads with him that she knows he isn't like this, but he says he can't run away and has to fulfill Ultimecia's wish to make the sorceresses as one. And with that, Disc 3 comes to an end! --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
