An important lesson to learn; if you want to truly change, you must accept the consequences of your past. Even if it means doing nothing but taking hits.
There's a secondary lesson here as well. Cecil is told that "justice and retribution are but trifling things" as well, indicating that it's not about retribution but stopping Golbez just as a means to stop bad things from happening. In that same moment, Tellah relearns Meteor. Learning Meteor set Tellah on his path of retribution which ultimately leads to his downfall, this solidifying what Kluya was speaking of. It's brilliant and perfectly shows how vengeance can lead to your downfall while at the same time showing that you cannot be passive about evil in the world either. There's always a fine balance to maintain. God I wish they'd remake this but in higher quality, I personally consider it the best out of all the FF series.
Seeking and accepting the truth has always been the primary story of FF4. Tellah was already on the path of retribution before he got Meteor and was only looking for a tool to exact his revenge. Tellah knew what would happen to him if he cast Meteor and wasn't ready to accept the truth and pass away until the burst of light from Cecil's trial gave him the confidence to know that the "kids" he was helping would be able to take over and that he could finally rest. Tellah wanted to go out with one last "bang", which is something a lot of the older characters seem to do now that I think about it. 🧐 And Tellah's quest for retribution did open up the door towards the truth: that Golbez's power over Kain wasn't absolute, which suggested an even more powerful being really pulling the strings which is confirmed after FuSoYa slaps Golbez back to his senses. The tragedy that unfolds before KluYa isn't just the obvious Golbez issue, but of KluYa seeing his own son still a Dark Knight. KluYa wanted Cecil to arrive in different circumstances to pass on his legacy but had to accelerate the process, hence the test. If Cecil truly was at the point where he could fully accept the truth he's known all along, that he is not defined by the armor he wears or the sword he wields, then the burst of power KluYa gives after the fight won't kill him. And that's the real point here: that justice and retribution, fighting for what is deemed "right" by others and for revenge, will never lead Cecil towards the truth of who he is and who he can be and will only further bury the feelings Cecil has. The Mysidian elder even pawned this fools errand off onto Cecil as retribution but quickly accepts the truth when Cecil returns a truly changed person. Even Palom and Porom know what's up after Cecil finishes his trial and attempt to apologize on the spot and reveal they were only originally there to spy on him and report his death back to the elder. On the flip side we have Kain who instead lets his "truth", his unrequited love for Rosa and thus rivalry with Cecil, consume him. While he had all the best intentions in not interfering with Cecil and Rosa's relationship, his truth turned to jealousy and allowed him to be controlled so easily by Golbez/Zemus. FF4 has been my absolute fav FF since I was like 10 and the older and wiser I get the more depth I find in it's storyline.
The moral is to repent of our wicked ways as Jesus went through pains and sorrows to die for us, as He has long been awaiting the day we would turn to him, and our test is if we will be willing to be purified in the fiery furnace in which only gold and silver can survive. Works of wood, hay, and stubble will no longer remain after this temporal realm's time has passed. Man can only achieve works that are filthy rags to a perfect God, but God is satisfied with a humble heart willing to admit wrongdoing and willing to give anything to Him that He requires, with faith in his perfect love.
So the lesson is hit yourself a few times in Court with a golden sword and all is forgivin that will so save me from the chair hell the judge will even let me walk free
This moment was one of the greatest moments ever experienced in a video game. The chance to become more than what you or others perceived you to be, to cast aside darkness and embrace light..
Same here brother. Cecil is a Legend. Helped to inspire me since my early youth, and even now, at 34, lends me encouragement to press on through the darkness ahead. Lots of themes of Truth and Light, and Love in this tale. And amidst all of those virtues, Forgiveness. Of other's and one's self.
Even cooler: In-game every enemy you come across leading to this point has high resistance to darkness, so Palom & Porom essentially carry you here. Then you become a paladin, and going down the mountain all of those same enemies are weak to holy skills.
When I played this almost 30 years ago now on my second or later play through, I grinded to level 45. My first grind experience. Made everything easier and loved that over powering feeling. At this scene when I first saw it, I felt those tingles all over my head and made me come back to FF again and again for all these years. Last time I felt those tingles was from those Origa tracks from FFXIII-2. Haven’t played FFXV yet though.
@@t.adamcollins2162 If you´re playing with an NDS emulator, you can hack a playable version of Golbez into your party that can use that gear. Even with the low Attack compared to later-in-the-game weapons, Deathbringer can still OHKO many enemies. Pretty niche use, but hey, at least it´s better than nothing.
Honestly one of my favorite moments in all gaming. I remember being a kid and being like HOLY SHIT I AM FIGHTING MYSELF. You play someone who has become their greatest enemy and you must deal yourself a great pain to earn your right to be the hero of the story.
What I find ironic now is that Yuri Lowenthal (the voice of Cecil) has recently gone on to voice He-Man. This transformation reminds me of how Prince Adam becomes He-Man.
I'm so glad I played this on GameBoy when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I'm 21 years old now, yet Final Fantasy 4 is still engraved within me. It's a part of who I am right now and I'm forever thankful for it.
When I was a kid, I thougt you had to beat the Dark Knight. I mean, Cecil literally points his sword at him. But not fighting him makes sense. Cecil can't beat the Dark Knight: he committed terrible sins and must acknowledge his past. Even though he became a paladin, he will always be the dark knight Even if these DS graphics don't look great, it's a really strong scene
"In my opinion, one of the most epic moments in any video game." Fact. It is representation of The human world religion. Amazing that we were gifted this as children. Though not surprising. We needed to be seeded.
I know they’ve made several remakes of final fantasy 4 but I hope that they make one for the switch I’m not asking for a 100% new remake just up the graphics and sell it on the eshop

Final fantasy 4 PR update, when a event that has a party member leaving you behind with the armor on will be put back into your Inventory automatically with the words "The gear has been unequipped & put in the Inventory."
Don't forget to have Cecils new equipment ready to go after the transformation. You can buy it from the armor shop in Mysidia before making the trek to Mt. Ordeals. After you leave the shrine is when you'll be given a test run as a paladin.
Such a good game. Imagine if this game’s plot was like FFXII with Vaan. You’d have the game following Palom’s perspective even though Cecil is still the main character. He’d have 9x the dialogue in this scene, with him giving a pep talk to Cecil that the game implies he wouldn’t have accepted the trial without. And when the trial actually begins, you bet Cecil would invite Protagonist Palom to back him up in his duel with his dark knight self.
To be fair, Vaan didn't have that much dialogue. In fact, one of his main problems was his lack of involvement in the story, only interrupting in some cutscenes to get one or two lines in (which villains will immediately ignore as they focus on actually important characters, mainly Ashe and Basch).
Ah. They should never have changed the original translation. "Justice is not the only right in this world..." That line has stuck with me my entire life.
The FFIV DS remake edition is very good, but I prefer the PSP remaster version why to be play a interlude story and The After Years togheter in seems game... THANKS SQUARE ENIX!
For some, it may be. But for me, it was the first SNES game I ever completed. I was 13. I don't recommend this being someone's first rpg. The learning curve is steep
Among Final Fantasy entries, it's challenging. As some said, VI and VII are better starting points. As a version of FFIV, the DS version is the hardest of them all. The original SNES and PSP versions are much more manageable.
The fact that you could control 5 characters at once made the combat a bit harder to control, especially with the characters changing often and you having to change your gameplay style
@@HyperNova137 thats how i always did it. i guess it doesnt matter if u attack or not then, cuz eventually u win? i just kept attacking and using potions
@@halronius I've attacked him out of fun and died horribly except times I've used cheats. You need to defend yourself. It's as many have said, you face the darkness within and don't fight it, because you have to acknowledge your own past darkness.

The PS1 version of the games has rendered cut scenes other than that it's the same thing as the SNES. Probably has added content too now that I think about it.
This is what it is like to be born again. When you accept Christ, you let go of your dagger of sin. You must pledge yourself to Christ as your LORD, and repent of the sins that once held you down.
He's not wrong in the context this was really meant to be. It's why Kain is actually named from Cain, the brother who betrayed his brother Abel, and his final weapon is The Abel Lance. Preaching to those aside from the comment above but just saying Final Fantasy takes alot of context from the bible.

Used to hate that he returns to level 1 as a kid, but now I love the symbolism behind it. Start again and live a better life.

Yeah... That's never been done before...
Took the words from my mouth... When I played when I was younger I found that FF IV is still in my heart even after more than 30 years.
cecil's story helped me overcome depression believe it or not
That’s awesome! Hope your doing better!
Same
Me as well

That is a wonderful example of awesome game design. Nicely worded.
Wow I never noticed that. Such a cool detail! Really what separates video games from other art forms as a story telling medium.
When Cecil becomes a paladin, his dark equipment will be lost.
If you want to keep his dark equipment, remove all equipment before becoming paladin.
And then he starts again at level 1, but when you go back down the mountain again, you gain like 12 levels.
Why would you want to keep it? He can't use it.
When I played this almost 30 years ago now on my second or later play through, I grinded to level 45. My first grind experience. Made everything easier and loved that over powering feeling.
