I've always wondered where he is while his jump is active. Is he literally jumping the entire time? How high in the air does he go? Or does he jump to a ledge somewhere? Not sure there are many ledges in this part of the game for him to hit, though...
Same. Honestly, as silly as it may sound, Jrpgs guided my morals as well. Over thirty years later, I've tried to dedicate my life to serving the greater good.
@@livingtoaster1358 False, the music isnt the only thing thats good, I consider FF2 to be great, I don't care what anybody says about the levelling system, or the encounter rate, the game has so much and people just dismiss it for being *Bad*
"Super Castlevania 4" does something similar to that during the final battle, when it starts playing Simon's positive and uplifting theme when the boss is low on health; that moment has the exactly same kind of "you can do it!" vibe to it.
Ehh I loved this fricken game. back when there weren't any hints online- there wasn't any online- It was just you banging your head on a wall figuring the game out... not knowing what was coming... this part and the part where Rydia rejoined your party were awesome!!
agreed same with ff6. thats what made the surprises of being beaten in battle that much more fun. no one wouldve ever saw the magimaster situation when they first fought him without knowing the tricks to get by him.
This game is actually one of the final fantasy games I found that I didn't need a guide cuz it was quite linear and explicitly told you where to go which I personally liked
So was the word holy. The spell holy was replaced with “white” and all Judeo-Christian references were scrapped or changed. For example, one location was renamed the tower of wishes because it was called the tower of prayers.
I was like, "Oh why did you put Rydia in front, you animal??", then I realized, "Wait, he only throws spells, doesn't he? And you're only going to be chucking super ninja stars with Edge. Ohhhhh."
me too actually. On FFVII, i also tended to get the ending of the Supernova animation in the second part of the bridge of the song. It always felt right.
Anyone that's gonna comment this is FF4 not 2 Read this Back in the 90s (I wasn't alive back then but I have the snes game) some of the final fantasy games were not released in the western area So they only had the first ff ,The fourth ff which became 2 then ff 6 which became 3
@Nate Diaz Couldn't Beat a Rattata OK, so now the original NES FF2 and FF3 are now playable, how you gonna keep all the names lined up with your collection? errr... FF2 (NES) and then a different FF2 (SNES, which is FF4 in reality)? Also FF3 (NES)and yet another different FF3 (SNES, which is FF6 in reality)? Don't forget there is also FF5 between FF4 and FF6, where will that one sit in your collection?
Also if you are going to use Cure when your HP of your party is only a few hundred below your max you should use Cure 2 or Cure 3. Saves MP. Only use Cure 4 after big bang.
One thing classic Final Fantasy never, ever failed at was giving you spectacular, worthy, climactic end bosses. As awesome as four-stage Kefka is, I still think Zeromus is the best they ever got.
Love how Zemus turned into an evil looking Sesame Street monster after he was defeated the first time. And I always thought the big blue orbs on his final form were his eyes. To this day I have no clue what he is supposed to be. Something only those who live on the moon know I guess.
major blast from the past! this was my first final Fantasy. and I remember this battle being so impossible! fucking Asura! if she didn't do what I needed, it was game over haha
I always made my screen black too LOL.. great old game. Good fight. Thanks for showing your stats beforehand. Always hated moving things around to get highest Attack x# but it did help alot. FuSoYa should've used the Crystal 1st and he knows it. Turning into a flat mop is what he gets LOL
A tad overleveled, but Holy ****, I've never seen the second Big Bang deal that much. I like your instinct for when to deal the finishing blow instead of healing.
The original snes copy will forever have its home in my heart, the part when everyone on earth is reviving and healing the party to fight zeromus always makes me shed a tear.
I think this is the first game I've ever played that shows characters chanting to cast magic. I loved it with Rosa--and then the casting animation looks like she's asking for healing. Actually I loved everything with Rosa, period.
I could be wrong, but I suspect Big Bang deals more damage the more Zeromus uses it, or perhaps the less HP he has. To me the second is the killer, the third is brutal.
Loved this game, but one major flaw in it. When you have Rydia the very first time (before you lose her and then she comes back transformed older later), if you level her lots of times, you can actually acquire Nuke spell. But if you do that, when you get her the second time, and shes more mature, she has forgotten the Nuke spell you earned for her previously by leveling. OK, maybe not a major flaw in the game, but was sad to me!
thats because if cecil and co isnt at said level like when u got her to learn nuke before she returns later she will get the average level of your allies.
Sorry I’m so late. It’s not just a randomizer thing, but relative agility is calculated at the start of the battle, and can’t be changed after that, so things like Fast or switching to or from a weapon with an agility stat change doesn’t affect you once the battle starts.
I beat the gameboy version and it was amazing. Working my way through the mobile 3D version right now. But I think that the music sound better in this version.
The trick is to not use any magic against him, else he counter-attacks to most of it. With just regular attacks, throwing weapons and jumping, all he does is Big Bang, Black Hole and eventually the rarely-working Meteo.
Nah, there was nothing else to fix the 15 FPS lock on battle so I kinda got used to it. the only way people did it was to use Cheat Engine to fast forward which imo wasn't worth.
Seeing that this is somehow getting attention and that it's been a decade since I did these boss videos, should I do the PSP version now?
god bless the pixel remasters, and yeah you could do the psp
FUCK YESSSS CRISYP HD SMOOTH RENDERED
Kain always missing the Cure spells cuz he's busy hanging in mid air
I've always wondered where he is while his jump is active. Is he literally jumping the entire time? How high in the air does he go? Or does he jump to a ledge somewhere? Not sure there are many ledges in this part of the game for him to hit, though...
@@ZenMonkeyGod I know that is a old comment. Kain jumps to the ledge of screen television. Solved it!
Kain allways missing cure spell cause a true man dont' need cure... That is for the weaks
@@ZenMonkeyGod
I always assumed that he jumped really really high, and then landed with a lot of force.

30 years later the final boss music gives me chills. This game is what set me on RPGs. Amazing game.

Same.

Zermous' theme is soooo underrated it's my top 3 favorite final boss themes
zeromus' theme is *NOT* underrated
@@Xamracress dawg what no one ever talks about this theme it's more overlooked than underrated but still
@@livingtoaster1358 what about final fantasy 2's themes hmmm?
@@Xamracress that's the only good part about 2 lol even then they're very short and looped a lot
@@livingtoaster1358 False, the music isnt the only thing thats good, I consider FF2 to be great, I don't care what anybody says about the levelling system, or the encounter rate, the game has so much and people just dismiss it for being *Bad*
I still like the classic snes version best of all. But I'm glad they updated it. This was such a good game!
Who on the Blue Planet puts Rydia in the front row?
Well they are on the moon. Different tactics
Doesn't matter, Zeromus has no physical attacks.
This guy did lol
I do
Pure insanity
9:45 when the true final battle starts!
When the Final Fantasy fanfare kicks in and everyone starts cheering on the main cast... *chills.*
"Super Castlevania 4" does something similar to that during the final battle, when it starts playing Simon's positive and uplifting theme when the boss is low on health;
that moment has the exactly same kind of "you can do it!" vibe to it.
@@Peter_1986 Oh yeah 4 was peak castlevania.
Always loved and feared this fight at the same time
That Asura summon at 14:00 really decided the battle.
Lol
The AI is a demonic force on youtube
She’s just so random lol. When all my people are down but still alive she always pulls the Life card lol.
Useless summons
I never use it
What does Asura do? I forget
Still one of my favorite final boss fights of all time, possibly my favorite.
I think the music is better than ff7 emo gothic homo final boss music
Ehh I loved this fricken game. back when there weren't any hints online- there wasn't any online- It was just you banging your head on a wall figuring the game out... not knowing what was coming... this part and the part where Rydia rejoined your party were awesome!!

Us kids didn't know how to read but we just went for a long adventure figuring out some.stuff
I know right. I remember when I figured out by myself where to throw that damn rats tail down the well.
Yes, banging your head on a Wall until you realize you need the Wall spell to beat Asura. Talk about the answer being in plain sight.
one of the best final boss BGM
Zemus saying "Silly!" is my favorite thing about the original English translation
2:54 I cannot believe they got away using the word "death." Back then, using that word was mostly forbidden
So was the word holy. The spell holy was replaced with “white” and all Judeo-Christian references were scrapped or changed. For example, one location was renamed the tower of wishes because it was called the tower of prayers.
@@lunarfox7287 You refer to the tower of babil correct?
George Williams No I mean the tower of prayers in Mysidia.
@@lunarfox7287 I forgot about that one
"Killing Zeromus only increased its hatred" No shit.
Always chuckle at that line.

Cecil will always be 2 of my most favorite Final Fantasy characters
Final Fantasy final bosses where always the highlight of the game for me. They got better 1 after another.
Still by far my favorite Final Fantasy game to this day.
I'm glad you realized when he shakes he removes status increases like haste and image.
Didn't know why Image disappeared all of a sudden. Thanks for the info. Probably realized that before the last times I've fought him.
I know it's supposed to be him dying, but when you beat zeromus and he sink through the floor, it's like he's slowly backing out of the room.
Am I the only one that actually organizes their magic lol
No I do too.. and my item list. Saw he had Sort on the bottom I put mine on top LOL
Cure cura curaga
Curaja raise arise
Esuna protect shell
Slow haste
Reflect blink
Fire fira firaga
Thunder thundara thundaga
Blizzard blizzara blizzaga
13:16 A lot of the times, I lived exactly this part of the battle, even synchronised to this part of the song.
me too actually. On FFVII, i also tended to get the ending of the Supernova animation in the second part of the bridge of the song. It always felt right.
11:05 Music goes well with super move
Rosa is literally that kid in a group project at school who does one thing at the very end and demands praise
What the hell? She's super op with holy and all her magic
More like the one that does the part nobody else wants to
LOL He didn't even get to use meteo. I remember when I first beat him and saw him use meteo toward the end and thinking "oh crap!"
If I recall correctly, he uses meteo as a counter to bahamut ?
@@DakkonDS zeromus will start using meteo when he has low hp
The Zeromus boss theme is one of my favorite songs of all final fantasy games. Brings back memories of playing this game.
Anyone that's gonna comment this is FF4 not 2
Read this
Back in the 90s (I wasn't alive back then but I have the snes game) some of the final fantasy games were not released in the western area
So they only had the first ff ,The fourth ff which became 2 then ff 6 which became 3
I grew up thinking that too, massive confusion even now
Oh damn just realized I'm old as fuck cause I remember this shit when it first came out
Dream Evil I agree
@Nate Diaz Couldn't Beat a Rattata OK, so now the original NES FF2 and FF3 are now playable, how you gonna keep all the names lined up with your collection? errr...

Don't forget there is also FF5 between FF4 and FF6, where will that one sit in your collection?
FF2 SNES US version is very much easier than the original game. PS1 i think emulates more what FF4 was meant to be about
I really miss this game :(
Man this brings back some feels from being 8 years old lol.
Also if you are going to use Cure when your HP of your party is only a few hundred below your max you should use Cure 2 or Cure 3. Saves MP. Only use Cure 4 after big bang.
One thing classic Final Fantasy never, ever failed at was giving you spectacular, worthy, climactic end bosses. As awesome as four-stage Kefka is, I still think Zeromus is the best they ever got.
I ended the fight the same way you did. With Rosa using Holy (it was called Holy in the PSX version I played).
Love how Zemus turned into an evil looking Sesame Street monster after he was defeated the first time. And I always thought the big blue orbs on his final form were his eyes. To this day I have no clue what he is supposed to be. Something only those who live on the moon know I guess.
Its been more than 30 years now since we were given this incredible timeless game. And its impact is still felt to this day.
11:05 Music goes well with super move
major blast from the past! this was my first final Fantasy. and I remember this battle being so impossible! fucking Asura! if she didn't do what I needed, it was game over haha
I love how Zeromus death animation least a good minute just with epileptic flashes, the good old times
This game had such a fun storyline, it made it more fun to play.
FuSoYa sounds like the name of a flavor of frozen yogurt
The main final fantasy theme on this one was my favorite
Me
I loved the music when Cecil and Kain left Castle Baron in the begining.
I like how this game settled for Cecil/Kain/Edge/Rydia/Rosa at the end;
that is exactly the party that struck me as the optimal party.
What was Cid telling me to hold onto again?
This is the final fantasy 4
Can't tell if this is a troll comment...
this is actually ffiv check other vids on Golbez in ffiv
ok
Fine Mamey Are you that braindead, or just a troll?
I'm not risking myself getting wooshed
I cried a little when Tellah showed up
Rydia in the front row!?
I always made my screen black too LOL.. great old game. Good fight. Thanks for showing your stats beforehand. Always hated moving things around to get highest Attack x# but it did help alot. FuSoYa should've used the Crystal 1st and he knows it. Turning into a flat mop is what he gets LOL
I just finished the PSP version.
Last battle is nowhere as epic as the SNES one. Played this game countless times since 1992
This soundtrack is so much better than the Pixel Remaster one
i only faults of this game was there was no true golbez battle to determine how strong he really was. and he wasn't playable in any way
You had amazing RNG. Dude would always hit Big Bang every second turn on me every time.
A tad overleveled, but Holy ****, I've never seen the second Big Bang deal that much.
I like your instinct for when to deal the finishing blow instead of healing.

orelas1 really? big bang would bring me down that low literally every time, and he did it was more often than in this video!
I could be wrong, but I suspect Big Bang deals more damage the more Zeromus uses it, or perhaps the less HP he has. To me the second is the killer, the third is brutal.
Nah, White, not Holy
Get it?
Final Fantasy IV will always be my favorite! VII? X? XIII? Nope good ol 4
Loved this game, but one major flaw in it. When you have Rydia the very first time (before you lose her and then she comes back transformed older later), if you level her lots of times, you can actually acquire Nuke spell. But if you do that, when you get her the second time, and shes more mature, she has forgotten the Nuke spell you earned for her previously by leveling. OK, maybe not a major flaw in the game, but was sad to me!
thats because if cecil and co isnt at said level like when u got her to learn nuke before she returns later she will get the average level of your allies.
Let's just call it the game punishing you for getting NUKE by Mt. Hobs. That's insane. You obviously had too much time on your hands.
Nobody:
Zemus: Silly!
But her magic defense is so high, she usually survives alot. But Big Bang kills anything :p
Isn't Cecil your agility anchor? Does casting fast on him increase Zeromus's speed? Or is that just a randomizer thing?
Anybody know?
Sorry I’m so late. It’s not just a randomizer thing, but relative agility is calculated at the start of the battle, and can’t be changed after that, so things like Fast or switching to or from a weapon with an agility stat change doesn’t affect you once the battle starts.
Just saw the FF 16 trailer. Amazing. But this is way better. Old fart talking here. "Zeromus I will destroy you." Such conviction.
He turned FuSoYa into some sunny side up.
Rosa at the end of the fight was all "I got shit to do and y'all are too weak. Let me blast this guy."
The bass line is so underrated in this theme
Came for the music but WHY is Rydia in the front line?!
Greatest final fantasy ever!!!!!!!!!!
4:25 goosebumps
So which spell is more powerful against Zeromus, White or Nuke? Lol love the censored names!
better save my elixirs, there could be a fight after this one.
The snes version of zeromus's theme seems to be the only one that really does it right for me
Yeah, remakes and remasters have an irritating tendency to mess up music.
Logan Dexter question: has golbez learned to be a good guy?
On Final Fantasy 4-2 After Years. The Saga.
love the sync at 12:37 and 14:18
Excellent sound levels!
I’ve been trying to beat this for 30 years.
If Big Bang doesn't induce an epileptic fit, it's not a proper Big Bang attack!!! :D
Zeromus, the only boss to make the background go backwards
Why does Fusoya look like a fried egg when he is KO’ed?
I'd say he looks more like a mop.
People born on the moon live in a liquid state.
Omg so good to see/hear the U.S. cart!
Que musica y jefe mas memorable
I beat the gameboy version and it was amazing. Working my way through the mobile 3D version right now. But I think that the music sound better in this version.
Amelia Osborne its faster and more upbeat
I really think ffiv missed the opportunity to let us play with the person we thought was the main villain but turned out to be our brother.
Cannot wait to see what they do with him in FF14. We just took down the last archfiend.
In the Japanese version, Big Bang deals a lot more damage.
Yeah I heard the Japanese version was much harder and the difficulty in the USA release was lowered
Why have Zemus say “Silly!”?
Because bad translation
Played 4 on ds and I had so much fun such a good story 😊
10:08 Covid
3 year old post but i laughed so hard ty 😂
@@jpeter313 I had completely forgotten I replied this 😭
About as deadly, honestly.
This should be a fun question. Why no Bersk? :p
cus then Zeromus will eventually use Black Hole which will remove all buffs.
It also won't work on Cecil if you equip his best armor as it prevents status changes
月よ光を与えたまえ！
What’s the name of the music that plays before you fight zeromus?
If its what im thinking its the prologue theme.. lol just looked it up
CineplexOFFICIALTECHNO
Yep, that’s it. Thanks!
@@NateDaMan5 no prob man
Zemus: thilly goose
Rydia in the front row 😂
I thought W.Meteo meant white meteor or holy meteor.. I guess it was meant as twin meteor instead :(
It’s because the W stands for double. It’s a rather common abbreviation in Japan.
I wonder what happens if you never use the Crystal to reveal its true form.
You just keep attacking him forever while his attacks fail
What is Rydia doing in the front row and Edge in the back?
Of course Kain is offscreen every time Curaja gets casted
22 hrs sounds about right. Have you ever beat it faster
11:06 fuck the sun from FF7, how about the *BIG BANG!*
Why TF is Edge at the back row?
The trick is to not use any magic against him, else he counter-attacks to most of it. With just regular attacks, throwing weapons and jumping, all he does is Big Bang, Black Hole and eventually the rarely-working Meteo.
Dayum i thought I'm the only one who uses black menus in every ff game
+Master Miller Good timing though, because I just finished the 3D version (PC) and was recently uploaded, go check it out.
+Galaxia Shadow nice
i really wanted to play ffiv pc
but slow battles kinda ruined it
unless u patched it
ds was nice tho
Nah, there was nothing else to fix the 15 FPS lock on battle so I kinda got used to it. the only way people did it was to use Cheat Engine to fast forward which imo wasn't worth.
