Meh.

I guess I'll go with the FFVI version. Just cause.

I'm also going to have to take the Final Fantasy VI version. It's deeper than the other version, more interesting. Sorry.

Prelude-FFVI

Prelude-FFVI

FFVI
it just feels more.... emotional

Prelude - FFIV -1
Prelude - FFVI - 5

D'oh!

Next Battle:

Golbez's Theme-Plays when you are fighting Golbez in the Dwarf Castle. During the fight, he summons a Shadow Dragon. This monster kills all except Cecil, because the grown-up Rydia comes back and saves the day.

vs.

Cyan's Theme-Plays when you are conversing with Cyan.

Fight!

Again, I am going with the FFIV piece, and Golbez's Theme. I think it has more "feel" to the situation. Cyan's theme is pretty boring to me.

Cyan's Theme

Whoa, Smokey, you and I totally on different wavelengths on this one. I'm going with Cyan's Theme. That's possibly my favorite FFVI piece except maybe the ending. Love it.

Cyan's Theme

Hands down Cyan's Theme.

Eric, you know I love you, but how can you find that piece of music boring?

I'm sorry. Cyan is my favorite character from the game. But, it never really gave me a good feeling about it for some reason. I don't know. :(

Golbez's Theme-1
Cyan's Theme-4

Once again, I'm the only one that votes for the FFIV piece...

Next Battle:

Boss Theme-On your way to the Village of Mist, you encounter the Mist Dragon, accompanied by this music. This music makes a special appearance in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars as well.

vs.

Shadow's Theme-You hear this music when Shadow is around.

Fight!

Okay, is there going to be support for me this time? Once again, I have to vote for the piece I think is better, in <B>Boss Theme</B>.

I'll throw you some support and vote for FFIV's Boss Theme, but only just barely. To be honest, I think I like FFIV's normal battle theme better.

Boss Theme

Ending this battle after a couple days of no votes. :(

Boss Theme-3
Shadow's Theme-0

Finally, another FFIV music piece advances to the next round. Maybe they can keep it up to make the rest of the rumble respectable?

Next Battle:

Big Whale-After you have acquired this ship, you will hear this music when you are aboard it.

vs.

Dancing Mad-This is the legendary music that plays during the final battle with Kefka.

Fight!

No, I'm not voting for the FFIV piece this time.

<B>Dancing Mad</B>.

Dancing Mad - although I will say that you put it against a fairly nice piece that might have gotten my vote if it had been up against some of the others. I can easily see this being another blowout.

Dancing Mad

Easily Dancing Mad.The piece fits Kefka so well.

Dancing Mad :swoon:

Another shutout and victory for FFVI...

The Big Whale-0
Dancing Mad-5

Will the fan favorite win the whole thing? Only time will tell.

Next Battle:

Cry in Sorrow-After you have dealt enough damage to King and Queen Eblan, they become conscience. Immediately, this sad music plays.

vs.

Awakening-After Terra has decided to stay with the kids in the World of Ruin, you will hear this music around her.

Fight!

No doubt I'm going with <B>Awakening</B> here.

Hmm. "The Awakening" has strains of Terra's main theme in it, but here's something different. I'm actually going to vote against you and vote for the FFIV piece. Chalk up one for Cry of Sorrow.

Ill go with the awakening
cause like Agent0042 said it does have little parts of terras theme which i like :)

My choice here should be pretty obvious.

(it's Awakening if it's not.)

Cry in Sorrow

Awakening

Awakening.

Well, at least this battle garnered several votes...

Cry in Sorrow-2
Awakening-5

Next Battle:

Prologue-This song plays only twice during the entire game. Once right after Cecil and Kain set out on their journey for the Village of Mist. As soon as you leave the castle, a long dialogue will appear on-screen, along with the song. The second time is during your final battle, with Zeromus. After your party has been killed by Zeromus, except for Cecil who has only 1 HP left, the Elders of Mysidia and a bunch of other people start praying for the group's success.

vs.

New Continent-You can hear this song while you are on the Floating Continent, on the path to confront Kefka.

Fight!

This is a tough decision for me, but I'm going to have to go with <B>The Prologue</B>, by a hair.

Even though I don't know FFIV, I'll vote prolouge. It sounds nice.

The Prologue! Those who have played most of the Final Fantasy games know that this wonderful piece is one of the highlights that plays regularly in various forms in the ending themes of most of the games. This piece is a favorite of mine and I gladly vote for it. For me, it doesn't even begin to compare to New Continent.

Prologue, don't like New Continent

I think that The Prolouge is one of the best pieces in IV.

New Continent, well I think it was a great song personally.

Prologue

Well this battle was really one-sided.

The Prologue-6
New Continent-1

Final Battle of Round 1:

Red Wings-Once the world starts conversing for their attack on the Giant of Bab-il, this music is played. Also, once you reach Lunar Subtarrane, you will hear this song as well thoughout the entire time until you reach the deepest part of the cave.

vs.

The Fierce Battle-You can hear this music during your fight with Atma Weapon, among others.

Fight!

I like this battle music from FFVI, but not enough to give it my vote. I go with <B>Red Wings</B>, as it is played with perfect harmony during the final stages of the game.

REMINDER: If you don't remember these songs, check out the MIDI's that this site has to offer.

Red Wings

Both are very good, but I think The Fierce Battle is one of those where this site's MIDI doesn't do justice to it. I'm going to go with The Fierce Battle.

The Feirce Battle

The Fierce Battle

The Fierce Battle :\

Red Wings, even if it is going to lose.

Going with the crowds, The Fierce Battle.

Ooh, it was a close battle.

Red Wings-3
The Fierce Battle-5

Hey, would you look at that? We are at Round 2!

FFIV

Boss Theme (Eliminated in Round 2)
Prologue (Eliminated in Round 2)
The Dreadful Battle (Eliminated in Round 2)
<B>The Final Battle</B> (Advanced to the Quarter-Finals)

FFVI

<B>Another World of Beasts</B> (Advanced to the Quarter-Finals)
Awakening (Eliminated in Round 2)
Catastrophe (Eliminated in Round 2)
<B>Cyan's Theme</B> (Advanced to the Quarter-Finals)
<B>Dancing Mad</B> (Advanced to the Quarter-Finals)
Dark World (Eliminated in Round 2)
Forever Rachel (Eliminated in Round 2)
<B>Terra's Theme</B> (Advanced to the Quarter-Finals)

<B>The Decisive Battle</B> (Advanced to the Quarter-Finals)
The Fierce Battle (Eliminated in Round 2)
<B>The Prelude</B> (Advanced to the Quarter-Finals)

It's rather one-sided again.

First Battle of Round 2:

Dark World-FFVI

vs.

The Prelude-FFVI

Fight!

Have to go with <B>The Prelude</B> on this one.

FFVI the prelude

The Prelude-FFVI, Very calming.

Hey, we finally made Round 2. Gonna go with The Prelude also, one of those classics that spanned FF games.


Oh, I just thought of something. Why wasn't FFVI's Aria de Mezzo Caraterre included in the original battles? That seems like a glaring omission.

The Prelude-FFVI

Ok, a pretty decisive win this time.

Dark World-0
The Prelude-5

So the calming piece advances to the Quarter-Finals.

Next Battle:

Prologue-FFIV

vs.

Another World of Beasts-FFVI

Fight!

No brainer for me, <B>Prologue</B>.

Another World of Beasts

Another World of Beasts isn't a bad piece, but definitely The Prologue. This is a classic. I like to hum it.

Another World of Beasts, I love this piece.

Another World of Beasts

Another World of Beasts

Another World of Beasts

Ending this battle.

The Prologue-2
Another World of Beasts-5

Wow, I am very surprised with this result. But that is going to happen sometimes.

Next Battle:

Catastrophe-FFVI

vs.

Terra's Theme-FFVI

Fight!

<B>Terra's Theme</B>, one of my favorites.

I guess you and I and nobody else here is disappointed with the loss of The Prologue. It's a real favorite for me.

For here though, I am definitely going with Terra's Theme.

I'm dissapointed, I just missed the vote. =\

Terra's Theme
I think it's strong enough to win, except perhaps Dancing Mad.

Terra's Theme

Well since I'm a Terra fan, Terra's Theme of course!

I personally like Terra's Theme too

.
Terra's Theme

Ah, terras theme is the best!! =-o

Terra's Theme

This one wasn't even a contest, a total blow-out!

Catastrophe-0
Terra's Theme-9

Next Battle:

The Dreadful Battle-FFIV

vs.

The Day After-FFVI

Fight!

I'll go with <B>The Dreadful Battle</B>, one of my favorite battle themes. The Day After just seemed pretty ordinary to me.

The Dreadful Battle

I think I'll actually go with The Day After. I rather like it, and The Dreadful Battle isn't my favorite as far as battle themes go.

This one wasn't even a contest, a total blow-out!

Catastrophe-0
Terra's Theme-9

Next Battle:

The Dreadful Battle

vs.

The Day After

Fight!

I'll go with <B>The Dreadful Battle</B>, one of my favorite battle themes. The Day After just seemed pretty ordinary to me.

Just so I can vote(because I haven't played FFIV, but played FFVI because it's great), can you let me know, which scene is from which game please?

They're not scenes, they're music pieces. But I guess you want, "The Day After" because that's the one from FFVI. You should go listen to the MIDIs over at the main FFShrine site though - they're freely available, so why not?

I'll go with The Day After.

The Dreadful Battle. I agree, a great battle theme.

The Day After

The Day After.

Why are there so many instances in which there are no votes for two or three days here? I totally forget to update the battles sometimes because of it...

The Dreadful Battle-3
The Day After-4

Even with the little voting it received, this battle was as close as it could get.

Next Battle:

The Decisive Battle-FFVI

vs.

The Fierce Battle-FFVI

Two battle themes from the same game meet to do battle, but only one will walk out victorious, and show up in the Quarter-Finals. Which one shall it be?

Fight!

EDIT: I forgot to vote, so <B>The Fierce Battle</B> for me as well.

The Fierce Battle-FFVI - Better theme.

You're not going to vote in this battle, Smokey? Let the winner be determined by us then, I guess. I'm going with The Fierce Battle. The normal boss music was cool, but this one really got things going and you didn't get to hear it nearly as often, so that made it even more special.

The Decisive Battle

I love this song. :swoon:

The Decisive Battle by far ;o

The Decisive Battle

Sorry about the late update.

The Decisive Battle-3
The Fierce Battle-3

Ok, even though I already voted, I'm going to go ahead and advance <B>The Decisive Battle</B>. It may seem unfair, but there was three days in which someone else could have broken the tie.

Next Battle:

Dancing Mad-FFVI

vs.

Forever Rachel-FFVI

Fight!

<B>Dancing Mad</B>, what else?

Well, it certainly doesn't unfair to me, but rather very noble of you considering that your vote was for "The Fierce Battle." I am confused though as to why you aren't using the tiebreaker in which you go back and look at the votes in the previous round(s) to determine which piece moves on.

Oh well, you can sort that out, and I'll put in a vote for Dancing Mad.

well I'm happy The Decisive Battle moved on; that and Dancing Mad are my favorites for this competition O:

Forever Rachel though I know it's going to lose >:O

Forever Rachel

Forever Rachel.

Dancing Mad-FFVI, I just love it.

Forever Rachel

Since this is the second consecutive battle to end in a stalemate, I'll take Agent0042's suggestion to determine the winner.

Dancing Mad-4
Forever Rachel-4

Alright, now let's see which of these two pieces will advance to the next round.

Dancing Mad - 5/5 = 100%
Forever Rachel - 7/8 = 87.5%

And just like that, we have Dancing Mad as the winner.

Next Battle:

Boss Theme-FFIV

vs.

The Final Battle-FFIV

Fight!

This one is really tough for me to decide, but I'm going to have to vote for <B>The Final Battle</B>.

I'll take The Final Battle for 1000, Alex. Although, like you, it was a tough choice.

Boss's theme-FFVI

The Final Battle-FFIV for sure. ;)

Final Battle.

Well, it's good to know that we have at least one musical piece from FFIV advancing.

Boss Theme-1
The Final Battle-4

Whoa, would you look at that? We are now one battle away from the Quarter-Finals!

Final Battle of Round 2:

Awakening

vs.

Cyan's Theme

Fight!

Even though I didn't vote for <B>Cyan's Theme</B> the first time around, I am going to pick it this time. I just listened to them both, and I like it better than Awakening.

Awakening

Awakening

Cyan's theme.

Cyan's Theme, no doubt. My favorite to win this.

Cyan's Theme

Cyan's Theme

There was an early lead for Awakening, but it was never meant to be.

Awakening-2
Cyan's Theme-5

And that leads us into the Quarter-Finals!

FFIV

The Final Battle (Eliminated in Quarter-Final #3)

FFVI

Another World of Beasts (Eliminated in Quarter-Final #2)
Cyan's Theme (Eliminated in Quarter-Final #1)
<B>Dancing Mad</B> (Advanced to the Semi-Finals)
<B>Terra's Theme</B> (Advanced to the Semi-Finals)
<B>The Day After</B> (Advanced to the Semi-Finals)
The Decisive Battle (Eliminated in Quarter-Final #4)
<B>The Prelude</B> (Advanced to the Semi-Finals)

So once again, FFVI dominates FFIV. But how long can the remaining piece last?

Quarter-Final #1

Cyan's Theme

vs.

Terra's Theme

Fight!

I've said before that I didn't like Cyan's Theme as well as other people, so I have to go with <B>Terra's Theme</B>.

NOTE: Start suggestion the next category.

Terra's Theme. ;O

Terra's Theme

Cyan's Theme, (sigh) I know it's going to get flattened, and I really like Terra's too, but as far as I'm concerned, Cyan's really is the better theme.

terra's theme

Terra's Theme

Terra's Theme.

Terra's theme. Cyan's theme was really cool, but Terra's theme was just incredible.

Terra's theme

Cyan's Theme

Cyan's Theme-2
Terra's Theme-8

Sorry Agent, but your favorite didn't go quite as far as you hoped it would. Nonetheless, it still had a good showing. And Terra's Theme is the first Semi-Finalist.

Quarter-Final #2

Another World of Beasts

vs.

Dancing Mad

Fight!

I'm going with <B>Dancing Mad</B> again. Yes it may be about 20 minutes long, but it is quite spectacular, and I expect it to win the whole thing.

Smokey, thank you for ending the pain. I'm voting Dancing Mad.

BTW, though --- isn't "Dancing Mad" only the music played during the final version of Kefka? I think the rest is just Kefka's full battle theme.

BTW, though --- isn't "Dancing Mad" only the music played during the final version of Kefka? I think the rest is just Kefka's full battle theme.
I always believed that Dancing Mad <I>was</I> Kefka's entire battle theme. Even if it isn't, I'll always view it as so.

Another World of Beasts

Dancing Mad, best boss theme ever.

Dancing Mad

dancing mad

Not a very competitive battle this time around, but there is still a clear-cut winner, as expected.

Another World of Beasts-1
Dancing Mad-5

Some people think this piece is going to win the whole thing. Well, it certainly has a good shot.

Quarter-Final #3

The Final Battle-FFIV

vs.

The Day After-FFVI

Fight!

I still absolutely love <B>The Final Battle</B>. But will there be enough votes to make this the first time that FFIV has made an appearance in the Semi-Finals?

The Day After-FFVI

The Final Battle - The Day After just doesn't interest me that much.

The Day After ;o

The Day After-FFVI

Ooh, a very close battle, with the little votes that came in.

The Final Battle-2
The Day After-3

And that eliminates the last of the FFIV music pieces, but at least it had a respectable showing this time around.

Quarter-Final #4

The Decisive Battle

vs.

The Prelude

Fight!

A very tough decision for me, but I'm going to have to go with <B>The Prelude</B>. There is just more feeling to it.

I really hope Dancing Mad wins at this point. I'm gonna go for FFVI's The Prelude also. I prefer the Prologue, but that's already gone. And I prefer The Fierce Battle over The Decisive Battle, but that's gone too.

Yeah, they were both very good, but I am going with The Prelude because I like that piece of music so much.

Prelude.

The Prelude

The Decisive Battle-0
The Prelude-5

And that takes us to the Semi-Finals!

<B>Dancing Mad</B> (Advanced to the Finals)
<B>Terra's Theme</B> (Advanced to the Finals)
The Day After (Eliminated in Semi-Final #2)
The Prelude (Eliminated in Semi-Final #1)

I really like this lineup that we have. I'm surprised that The Day After is in there, but that happens sometimes.

Semi-Final #1

Dancing Mad

vs.

The Prelude

Fight!

<B>Dancing Mad</B>, for the win!

NOTICE: Start suggestion some categories that we could do with the next installment.

Dancing Mad.

Also cause ; ;.

dancing mad

Dancing Mad kicks the Prelude. We could do bosses next. Have we done those?

Dancing Mad, one of the best! :D

definitely dancing mad

Dancing Mad kicks the Prelude. We could do bosses next. Have we done those?
Nope, just characters and music. People can freely suggest bosses from either game now.

Well I would have voted Dancing Mad, if it wasnt over and if it would have made a difference.

It's not over. Smokey just wants our early suggestions. This is only the semi-finals currently. Oh, and and Atma Weapon (both forms I suppose) should probably be in the bosses edition. I'll think of more later.

Well we only have two more battles before this thing is over, so let's take a look at the results:

Dancing Mad-7
The Prelude-0

A clean sweep ladies and gentlemen, as I clearly expected Dancing Mad to at least advance to the Final.

Semi-Final #2

Terra's Theme

vs.

The Day After

Fight!

I've stated that I'm surprised that The Day After made it this far, and I will not give it support here. <B>Terra's Theme</B> to make it a wonderful final.

My sentiments exactly. Terra's Theme for me.

Terra's Theme

Alright, three consecutive days of no voting. That's never good.

Terra's Theme-3
The Day After-0

And that finally takes us up to the last one!

Final Battle:

Dancing Mad

vs.

Terra's Theme

Fight!

IMO, the best music pieces from the game. Arguably the greatest boss theme of all, and also greatest theme music of all. With that said, I'm happy that one of these is going to win. So I'll go ahead and vote for <B>Dancing Mad</B>.

I think somehow people got the idea that we were finished with that edition and Dancing Mad had already won. And that's my vote, although Terra's Theme is worthy competition. And although the game's ending theme is the best piece from the game.

Dancing Mad :)

terra's theme

As expected, we have the winner for music:

Dancing Mad-4
Terra's Theme-1

Both were worthy to win the whole thing, but Dancing Mad takes the cake.

<B>Previous Winners</B>:

Character-Cyan Garamonde
Music-Dancing Mad

Bosses have been suggested. If you like that, go ahead and start suggesting ones that you want to see in it. I'll add ones that I want in there automatically, but just go ahead and tell me what bosses you want to see.

Like I said, at least the first version of Atma Weapon has to be in there. Maybe one or more of the eight dragons, also The Dream Stooges and Wrexsoul because they could be hella hard, especially if you weren't properly ready. Of course, if you're including final bosses, then Kefka has to be in it, but maybe those shouldn't be included. To be honest, I really don't remember any of the FFIV bosses off-hand, although I'd probably start to remember if I heard the names.

At this point, I'm open to any bosses, including final bosses and/or mini-bosses

Smokey - I don't think you're gonna get a lot of nominations. Generally, my past attempts to get people here to do my dirty work for me in assembling these rumbles has largely failed. Best just to come up with a list at this point.

Has there been a Summons rumble yet? I think that would be cool, I shall work on finding out some bosses anyway.

We've already gathered quite a few names for the Bosses rumble, so that's almost certainly gonna be next. Still, if you have any suggestions, they'd be appreciated.

Well there is the list of all the bosses from the two games... i think it is complete list.

Guys, I'm really sorry about the late update. I've had so much to do, and I honestly didn't have time for this. But I think we are going to do Summons this time around, since such an extensive list was provided. But look for this version to start in the next day or two, guaranteed.

But I think we are going to do Summons this time around, since such an extensive list was provided.
You do mean, bosses right, not summons? Because it was lists of bosses that were provided.

Oh, and welcome back! Sorry about all that work.

Oh, and welcome back! Sorry about all that work.
Haha, must be a side effect of me being so tired. Bosses it is, and I'll update this when I'm finished.

Great. Well, I believe everything is in place, so let's get the show started. This is gonna be good.

And there you have the 16 participants for each game

First Battle of Round 1:

Milon-After you eliminate Milon and his 4 Ghasts on Mt. Ordeals, he will disappear from the screen. As soon as you cross the bridge and reach the other side, he attacks from the back. The entire fight is a back-attack, making it more difficult to do good damage on the beast. The best strategy is to keep Palom and Porom alive, and have them cast Twin as many times as possible.

vs.

Atma Weapon - This is the first fight in which The Fierce Battle plays. You first fight Atma Weapon at the end of the World of Balance. He has powerful attacks and exists of pure energy. You'll want your strongest characters and specials ready. Have Locke in the party to steal the Atma Weapon, which grows in strength as you level up.

Fight!

EDIT: That was weird. I forgot to make my pick, and the 'Edit' feature wasn't on there when I wanted to choose. But now it is, so <B>Atma Weapon</B>

Oh, come on, it has to be Atma Weapon. "The Fierce Battle" seals the deal.

Atma Weapon. Both versions were hard, but the weapon version was much more testing.

Atma Weapon

Atma Weapon, Milon was easy

Don't know who Atma Weapon is but Milon was heck of easy so Atma Weapon for me!

No chance for Milon anymore, Atma Weapon

Atma Weapon

Ok, the first battle featuring bosses finishes with a good number of votes, but the battle itself wasn't even close!

Milon-0
Atma Weapon-8

Next Battle:

Sandy, Cindy, & Mindy-Better known as the Magus Sisters. As you are making your way through the Tower of Zot to rescue Rosa, you meet the Magus Sisters right before the end. The trick to the battle is to defeat Cindy first, otherwise it is a very difficult fight.

vs.

Goddess-She is one of the three statue bosses guarding the path to Kefka. 'The Fierce Battle' music plays during the fight. She has an annoying attack that puts your characters on a countdown to Zombie status. She also has a special blue magic called Force Field.

Fight!

I didn't like fighting any of the three statues, so I'm going with <B>Sandy, Cindy, & Mindy</B>.

Goddess is not a bad boss, but I beat her with a fairly weak party. I'll go with Sandy, Cindy & Mindy also.

Goddess

Sandy, Cindy, & Mindy

Sandy Cindy and Mindy.

Sandy, Cindy, & Mindy :D

Cindy, Sandy and Mindy I hate those damn statues. The Magus sisters where a good battle though. so they get the vote.

Let's see how the second battle faired:

Sandy, Cindy, & Mindy-6
Goddess-1

So we start out with villians from both games advancing. Let's see how the rest of the competition turns out.

Next Battle:

Valvalis-After you rescue Rosa, and Kain joins your party after being released from his spell, you will fight Valvalis in the same spot you finished off the Magus Sisters. The trick to this fight is to have Kain use his Jump while Valvalis is in her spin mode, and then attack at will when she returns to her normal fighting mode. Attacks are pretty much useless while she is in spin.

vs.

Ultros - He is an octopus who is always dogging the party. You fight him another of times. His special attacks include Ink and Tentacles. His Tentacles will likely kill Banon in one shot in the first battle if you don't put him in the back row. He later gives up the fight and becomes a receptionist.

Fight!

I really like both villians. <B>Ultros</B> was great throughout the game, and Valvalis has attacks that can take your parties HP down to 1.

Ultros was great as a boss.

Ultros

Ultros was the supreme comedy boss, but Valvalis posed a serious Challenge, either way I vote for Ultros.

valvalis cause it's only one i've had a battle against...

Valvalis He was tough when i was low-leveled

Ultros

Valvalis He was tough when i was low-leveled
She

Alrighty then, let's just take a look at the results.

Valvalis-2
Ultros-5

So while Ultros may have been the easier boss, it looks like people loved his comdedic sequences he brought to the game.

Next Battle:

Kainazzo-When you return to Baron castle through the sewers, you will meet this boss in the Throne Room. During the battle, he can hide in his shell to replenish his HP. After he summons water to surround him, this is your chance to use lightning elemental attacks, preferable Lit3 if you have it. Uses a powerful Wave attack on the party. Basically, Kainazzo is a big turtle.

vs.

Atma-You fight Atma towards the end of the game. It is a wise decision to give it everything you got, because this version is a lot stronger than the original you fought on the Floating Continent. Pearl works really well against Atma.

Fight!

I'm going to go with <B>Kainazzo</B> this time around.

I don't remember a lot of these FFIV bosses. Only some of the more unique / exciting ones. But Atma is another good boss.

ATMA... Kainazzo he was a waste of my time :/

Atma That Kainazzo was lame with a +++

Atma

Atma

Kainazzo-1
Atma-5

So it looks as if there wasn't much support for the huge turtle-looking thing. But nonetheless, we still have a decisive winner.

Next Battle:

Bahamut-On the moon, if you enter Bahamut's Cave, you will have the opportunity to acquire this powerful Summon. Bahamut uses a five count to use his devastating Nuke attack. 5-4-3-2-1...WOW! Try to defeat the dragon before he uses this attack, because it may wipe out the entire party.

vs.

Chadarnook - A vexing boss that appears in the portrait in Jidool. It has two forms and switches between them. It has a ridiculous amount of HP and the ability to sap life out of your characters and confuse them. The worse thing is that you may not know that you are only supposed to attack the Demon form of this boss. Attack the woman too much and you have to start over.

Fight!

I'm going with <B>Bahamut</B>. There are some great weapons and armor in his cave, and also the infamous enemy, Behemoth. The journey through the cave itself is a challenge. Plus, I don't really remember Chadarnook all that much.

Both are good battles, but I'll take Chadarnook --- this one was really strong.

Ah, yeah Chardarnook was a bugger to kill, 3 trys it took. :/

Bahamut

Chadarnook

Bahamut.

chardanook "great battle"

Bahamut

Bahamut he's awesome.

Bahamut. =/

This one came down to the very end.

Bahamut-6
Chadarnook-4

So a very close battle materialized with this one. Let's see if the next one is the same.

Next Battle:

Mom Bomb-As you are fighting your way up Mt. Hobs, you meet and help Yang in battle. Then, Mom Bomb strikes. It's a huge boss, that explodes into 6 smaller versions of bombs when you hit it with enough damage.

vs.

Hidon - A monster that once terrorized Strago and his companion Gungho. It exists in the cave north of Thamasa. It has minions called Hidonites and so-so attacks. It uses a Blue Magic called GrandTrain that is unique to it.


Fight!

Going with <B>Hidon</B> here.

Bomb monsters are lame, have to go with the FFVI boss again. Hidon

Hidon

And is it Mt. Gagazet?

Hidon

Hidon

Hidon

The Mom Bomb battle took place on Mt. Hobs, I believe.

Hidon

I was hoping that this battle would be a little closer, but there wasn't much hope of that from the start it appears.

Mom Bomb-0
Hidon-7

Thanks Daze, that is the name of the mountain. Welcome to the forum, and if you have any questions about the rumbles, PM me.

Next Battle:

Zemorus-The final villian of FFIV. After you use the Crystal on Zemus, it's true form emerges into a hideous beast. It has very strong attacks such as Nuke and Big Storm, which both take away great amounts of HP.

vs.

SrBehemoth-It's an Behemoth you fight in the Cave in the Veldt in the World of Ruin. It can attack four times in a row and has high HP. It always drops a BehemothSuit armor which can be exchanged at the Coliseum for the powerful Snow Muffler. It appears on the Veldt.

Fight!

I think SrBehemoth is a descent villian. But my pick is for <B>Zemorus</B>. I love the music that plays during the fight, and I also think he was a great villian all-in-all.

Im going with Smokey, Zeromus

The SrBehemoth showed up on the Veldt and you couldn't escape from it, so it really began to bug after a while, especially when it started getting weak because of your character levels. Zeromus is way better.

SrBehemoth I just like him better than zeromus

Zemorus

Zemorus

Zeromus ...great battle music, nonsensical anatomy

Zeromus.

Zemorus

Zemorus

=/

Zemorus

Zemorous...

Zemorus

Ok, so this battle lasted a little longer than usual, so let's see if there was anything special about it.

Zemorus-12
SrBehemoth-1

Holy cow! 13 votes is possibly the most number of votes a battle has received in this thread for a long time. Good job guys.

Next Battle:

Dark Knight-After Cecil becomes a Paladin on Mt. Ordeales, he must face his past, in the form of his former self! Dark Knight attacks strong and quick, so it's a hard fight if you don't take it seriously. When you win the fight, Cecil truly becomes a Paladin.

vs.

Skull Dragon-Another one of the many dragons you will come to encounter on the final tower. It's undead, so just use the typical undead attack routine, and you shouldn't have much problems with it.

Fight!

While neither of these are memorable fights, I'm going to just go with <B>Dark Knight</B>.

Dark Knight, because I think I had some problem with it and had to go twice. I can't recall if I just turned it off without saving, though.

Dark Knight.

Dark Knight, couldn't you let this one just kill you?

Dark Knight...that one was pretty damn hard...

Dark Knight An excellent bosss, much better than SKull Dragon. Dark Knight was at least a challenge.

The Skull Dragon sucks, Dark Knight is an interesting battle.

Dark Knight

Ok, are the FFIV villians keeping pace with the baddies from FFVI?

Dark Knight-8
Skull Dragon-0

So it looks as if nobody really cared much for the Skull Dragon. I didn't myself, so looks like there wasn't much need for this battle.

Next Battle:

Wyvern-Near the end of the Lunar Subterrane, you will notice a sword on the right side of the screen. If you find the secret path to it, you will have to fight this beast to acquire the Crystal, which is easily the strongest sword in the game. Wyvern countdown 5...4...3...2...1...0...then releases an extremely strong attack that can take approximately 6,000 HP away from your party members.

vs.

Phunbaba-A large giant that terrorizes the orphanage. Terra attempts to fight it, but this is a battle that is a guaranteed lost. Afterwards, your other party members take it on and one gets knocked away. Terra joins again in morphed form. This boss hits with elemental magic and strong attacks.

Fight!

I'm voting for <B>Wyvern</B>, since the reward for defeating it is so great.

Wyvern Its more of a challenge than that big green thing.

Phunbaba.

I agree with 1_W1nged --- Phunbaba's a little sucky. I'll take Wyvern as well.

Phunbaba

Wyvern

Wyvern.

Wyvern

Wyvyrn, although I went by the staircase and have to go back to get it...

It was shaping up to be a close battle from the very beginning, but let's see if it came out that way.

Wyvern-7
Phunbaba-2

Nope, the dragon pulled away with a comfortable victory. I guess just not enough people found Phunbaba to be a good villian.

Next Battle:

Odin-After certain events in the game have taken place, go to the basement of Baron Castle. There, you will fight the mighty Odin, except for one tiny weakness; Casting Lit 3 on him will almost kill him surely!

vs.

The Phantom Train-A train carries departed souls to the afterlife. Sabin, Cyan and Shadow if you have him get stuck on it. They eventually figure out how to stop it and it fights them. It has attacks that can hit all targets and is fairly strong, but keep pounding with Shurikens and specials and it eventually goes down.

Fight!

I would vote for Odin if he couldn't be destroyed in one hit. While I like the fact that he becomes a Summon if you defeat him, he was just too easy. That, and <B>The Phantom Train</B> was just awesome.

The Phantom Train. It's already pretty tough going through the train itself, and then you have to fight this sucker.

And yeah, bosses that can be killed in one hit in any way (barring extreme level-up or power stuff) stink.

Odin.

Odin, this was quite a fearsome fight.

Odin

he can be killed by lit3?? ARGH! Wish I'd known that. I spent a long time killing him the hard way before he did that insane attack.

Odin gets my vote, even if stupid lit3 will kill him. I don't know if I actually killed him when I had lit 3 though. I was busy summoning Leviathon though...

Odin , i killed phatom train with a a soft

Will there be another winner from FFIV?

Odin-5
The Phantom Train-2

Wow, I'm really surprised that Odin won this battle. There were two quick votes not in his favor, but then massive support came his way.

Next Battle:

Ogopogo-After you are nearing the end of the Lunar Subtarrene, you will enter a new area where the music changes. On this first floor, go to the bottom and you will see a sword on a pedastal. Touch it, and you will fight Ogopogo. He has a fearsome Wave attack that can cause great damage if you aren't careful, but the reward for defeating him is well worth it; The Masamune for Edge.

vs.

Larry/Curly/Moe - They appear in Cyan's soul as the Three Dream Stooges. They work to help each other and have a special called Delta Attack that petrifies your characters. This is a move that belonged Cindy, Mindy and Sandy in other FFs.

Fight!

These are two great bosses to be honest, but since Larry/Curly/Moe are pretty much the same as the Magus Sisters, I'm going with <B>Ogopogo</B>.

rofl~. The three stooges were as easy as they come imo.
But Ogopogo, now I couldn't kill him at all.

Yeah, Larry, Curly and Moe are just a bad Delta Sisters knockoff, agreed. Ogopogo

In my rom, he had a different name. It was much cooler than Ogopogo. He still gets my vote though: Ogopogo

L/M/C is a dumb idea, just put the real Magus Sisters in! Even FFX had the Magus Sisters, I mean come on...

Ogopogo only took me one try though, I think. Just hard-hitting Bahamut and jumping and attacking and curing from Rosa. That whole last place annoyed me though, because I didn't have hardly any phoenix downs. :whatever:

Ogopogo

Well, this it turning out to be dominated by FFIV for a change.

Ogopogo-5
Larry/Curly/Moe-0

Next Battle:

Calbrena-After you reach the Underground and enter the castle, Yang smells somebody sneaking around the Crystal. Head back into the Crystal Room, and you will encounter Cal & Brena in battle. There are six dolls in total, and they will combine to form Calbrena after a little while.

vs.

Doom Gaze - A dragon boss that you must chase around the world map with the Airship. It will run away, but keep chasing it and pounding it and it eventually dies. You get a very nice reward after you finally finish off the beast, very nice indeed.

Fight!

This one is relatively easy for me, in <B>Doom Gaze</B>.

Calbrena, very challenging, with all of the different forms and such, Doom gaze was extremely easy, I was expecting a tough fight from him.

Doom Gaze

Calbrena

I'll go with Calbrena too, Doom Gaze isn't particularly interesting.

Calbrena, the freaky dolls were wierd.

Okey-dokey.

Calbrena-4
Doom Gaze-2

So it looks as if more people enjoyed fighting the dolls of destruction over the dragon.

Next Battle:

Rubicant-he is the final of the Four Fiends. Obviously, he is the Fiend of Fire, and is incredibly strong and difficult to defeat. The first time you face him shortly after acquiring Edge, he destroys the entire party in seconds flat. Later on in the game after you have gotten much stronger, you at least stand a fighting chance against him.

vs.

Umaro - He guards the Esper Terrato. He's weak at first, but becomes 100 times stronger. If Mog is with you, he recruits him once you win. If he joins your party, he is a deadly force for your enemies to reckon with.

Fight!

Forgot to pick one, so <B>Rubicant</B>.

Umaro! He rocked!

Rubicant.

Lubricant Rubicant

Umaro, rubicant was seriously easy, just hit him with Ice3 at the right time.

Umaro --- Az is right. Bosses with ultra-strong elemental weaknesses are too easy.
