This bugs me, What the fuck is with with necron....I all the other final fantasys you know who the final boss is, 8 ultimicia, 7 sephiroth, 6 kefka. Yeah you know they are gonna be the final boss. Where the fuck does necron come in. You never hear about him anywhere in the game till the fucking end. it's just so outa the blue. Yall agree?

i wuld agree with you but Tokiko proved me wrong and made me change my opinion. hehehe.

I dont quite remember, but I do recall a character in the game mention a higher being, but they didnt say the name necron directly..

I'll simply copy paste my text from this (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16431&perpage=&pagenumber=2) thread here:

Necron was nothing more than the personification of destruction or oblivion, an entity or rather, a force, with the only purpose of destroying the world entirely. Necron's appearance needed a trigger, and that was Kuja's desire to end all existence. Necron explained it himself: Kuja's wish to destroy everything was taken as proof that living things strive for being destroyed, and therefore.
This destruction is Kuja's wish, not Necron's. Necron doesn't use Kuja to reach this goal. Necron has no goals. He's not a person. He's more like a mechanism.

It is kind of funny that no one complains about the final battle in FFV, although it is essentially the same, though there are differences. The Void, holding powers that the main enemy would like to harness, consumes him, turns him into its own incarnation, and then announces that it would now destroy the world, all existence, and then itself. Everything. To complete the analogy, both of these final bosses uses the Grand Cross attack.

It's odd that people fail to complain about this one, but also go on about Necron. Because if anything, FFIX introduces Necron, or rather, the oblivion he stands for, rather nicely into the game's THEME. The theme is memories, and the gist is that as long as anything exists, you also live on in the memories of the world. Total destruction, what Necron stands for, is exactly what the characters in FFIX do not want.

By fighting Necron, by clinging to life, and probably also by Kuja's realization near the end, they prove Necron's deduction wrong: People still want to live, and want the world to live, and do not long for being destroyed.

It's more a metaphorical battle, and works very well with the game's theme.

Thanks, god is dead.

i dont complain about ffv's boss because i thought it was too bad to get to the ending.

i still think that throwing ol' necron in there was bogus. sure you can say that it fits in with the theme of the game, but anything could fit in with the theme as long as they had dialogue to back it up. and with a theme like that game had, it wouldn't be too hard. it just seems kinda ridiculous to have this weird thing show up for no apparent reason (was it foreshadowed even?).

interesting, would have appreciated a mentioning of necro in the game though.... er before he makes his appearence.

thanks tokiko! I understand it much better now and see your point now.
