i love the detail that Neo Exdeath is emerging from the void, it made it felt like you're fighting just a tip of one of his roots/branch. Who knows what's behind that void looks like
@@TiroDvDnah Exdeath definitely has Evil Humans as part of him, so basically Exdeath is Naraku on thousands of steroids. Though reminder that the Tree itself isn't evil, it just failed to contain the evil beings inside it because it got overloaded beyond its capacity. And as we've seen in Neo exdeath, the evil creatures that constitute it is extremely diverse.
Man, this fight was a pain for my Four Job Fiesta run, I had to take down the part that casts Almaghest IMMEDIATELY, but my Dancer was just like "I don't feel like doing damage :)"
Just got done completing V this morning; Neo exdeath had me on the ropes throughout the battle. Two handed rapid fire dps, one healing with duel-casting and applying buffs, and the last one with black magic and time magic to attack. But once amaglest and grand cross came into play, it got incredibly dicey when my main damage dealer got zombied and the healer was stoned. It was a stressful time when I barely had one member that was hastened to get the mage back into play so I could duel-cast reraise and curaga on everyone.
"Who enters my demesne? Humans, is it? To have come all the way here, the ending point of both light and darkness... What do you seek from this place? Power? Fame? Foolish humans. Those do not await you here. Here, there is nothing. No past, no future, no present. All that is sealed within this beautiful darkness is the stillness of eternity." "I see you've begun to understand my glorious existence here. Yet, perhaps it is best if you see for yourself my power... Power that held the whole world in fear... ...the power of the Void!"
Brutally difficult, this guy. Possibly the hardest end boss in the franchise. At least you can take down Safer Sephiroth fast by using Dispel and Knights of the Round on him. I failed about twelve times in a row on this fight, then gave up and left the final area to grind and gain 200,000 Gil on the lake at Crescent. You get money fast for fighting there, but it still was time consuming. Then, I had to head all the way back. I had Bartz as a Samurai with full Time Magic skills, Lenna as a Freelancer with full White Mage skills, Faris as a Freelancer with full Summoner skills and Krile as a Samurai with full White Mage skills. All my characters were in their early Level 40s. All were equipped with Zeninage. I cast Float on my party before the preliminary fight, then cast Golem to Shell my party and used Hastega on them. I took out the first version of Exdeath fast using Meteor and Bahamut, but topped up my party's MP with ethers when I felt the fight was ending soon. Lenna and Faris wore Ribbons. My party carried their Statuses more or less into the next fight and thankfully no one was Petrified at any point, though this is unusual. I just used Curaga on the party every now and then and kept spamming Zeninage at the thing. Early on, I summoned Odin twice. The second time round, he took out the back part with Zantetsuken, which made things a whole lot easier. Half my party was dead from Almagest by the time that only the front part was left. Lenna was dead a turn after, it used Grand Cross on Faris and missed, and I used Zeninage again, instead of wasting time trying to revive, and it killed it. The front part will last for two or three shots of Zeninage after the rest of it is dead. I had no Dual Cast, and hadn't mastered Mime a few times over so as to learn it as a command and have Mimes with other skills to work with: so I had no option of using the Dual Cast Bahamut Mime spam trick many others use to get by this.
@@RetroFanatic-Trapster2 Without Ribbons, he'd be impossible. There's supposed to be four or something in the game. I could only get two, and it sucks as well that they're only equippable by Freelancers.
@@RetroFanatic-Trapster2 I remember when I beat Ozma finally in FF9. He used Curse as his last move, but I was extremely lucky that it snapped Steiner out of Confuse instead of it being the instakill it usually is: so I was able to get one more hit in with a 9999 HP damage sword.
Dont forget to steal that rare "RAGNOROK" sword before dumping off the ugly skullcollector looking dude in the very back ! (This process can be repeated in re-make
It also fits the fact that Exdeath (now Neo Exdeath) *knows* he lost at this point, but decides to use the last of his powers to take you (and everything else) down with him (hence why he finishes his quote with "Then I too can disapear forever!") So I see that gate-like thing as being the void trying to get Exdeath and Exdeath is fighting you in hopes of draggimg you with him.
@@NeoArashidoes he? He seems like he was furiously shocked that the void was eating him and Neo Exdeath acting like a different person when he came back out
@@lowhp_comic Naturally, this is mostly just my interpretation. But I always saw him suddenly being calm as Neo Exdeath as him accepting his fate, but still wanting to bring everything down to nothing, hence why he says in his introduction ("Everything shall be reduced to nothing. Then I, too can disappear forever!") While he did say he wanted to bring everything to the void, he never said he wanted to disappear alongside everything else. Yet he seemingly accept being about to disappear himself when he turns into Neo Exdeath . And the fact that he actually DOES bring anyone who's K.O.'d down with him when he dies further suggests this theory.(For the record, the first time I defeayed him, I thought I'd lose. Krile was my only surviving party member, and she won using a basic attack.)
It's funny how trivial the boss becomes with dualcast mimic cheese, since he's ridiculously hard for a casual playthrough. Guess that's what FFV is known for, having difficulty cliffs but also having airplanes to fly over them if you optimize hard enough. I played it back on a SNES emulator a decade or two ago, and I loved how well Neo Exdeath conveyed being an incomprehensible horror. Even only having one enemy name in the list, but there's 5 different parts to target. Always made kid-me wonder what the heck I was supposed to do against this pile of meat and fury. I wasn't well-supplied either nor did I want to grind, so it took me ages to actually beat him. Anyways, I think I like FFXIV's version of the song better. I like its fight better too, but it's apples and oranges with the combat systems.
Basically, it's much easier to break FFVI, but the rewards for breaking FFV are much, much higher. As for Neo-Exdeath, it's probably Bartz and company having to fight all of the monsters that were sealed in the tree at once because they were all mashed up into one giant horror, kinda like the final boss of Romancing SaGa 2. Also, the horned centaur guy in front was one of the rejected character designs for ExDeath
So would you say the PS1 version is harder? That’s the only one I played. Granted, I beat him on the first try, but it took me about half an hour or so.
@@dimitriosgladio059 Nah, it's common to see this. I beat this boss at Level 42 and saw it. Might be because he killed top mid target before it had a chance to use it.
I was highly disappointed with the lack of the GBA content, too. But, whenever I feel the urge to just do a casual run (Which is fairly often...once a year.. maybe twice.) This is now my preferred version to play.
Yesterday I managed to defeat Exdeath not once but three times. I’m not joking. The first time during the credits my game had an error and I had to start the fight over, on the second time Lenna died during the fight and I didn’t get the ending I wanted, and the third fight I did but just barely.
Still Exdeath, but the Void basically removed the perfect fusion Exdeath got from the Tree. Exdeath has always been an Amalgam of Evil Beings that has fused together from being inside the Tree for too long.

If it's anything like Final Fantasy 14, then it's only a tentacle.
Nah, more like the void tries to eat him back or you loot at the core
My go to to explanation for people is Naraku from Inu Yasha. but instead of a Human it's a Tree.

@@marcosseverini5297doubt it, FF14 just got lazy with designing Neo Exdeath fight.
I beat Neo Exdeath for the first time today and this theme hits harder when you're actually fighting him.
TRUE
True. Ah I miss playin this game
Even moreso while desperately trying to keep everyone alive for the best ending.
Most underrated Final Boss theme in the entire series.
The very complex battle of dualcasting bahamut and then using mime over and over again

peaple really dont know how easy the game is when we got chemistry and blue mage.
@@linmayo790 White wind and Mighty guard sweep
Last time I played this, Syldra got the killing blow in lol. Revenge.
Nice.
Reminds me of how I used to keep Aeris' weapons just to throw them at Sephiroth.
"Who enters my demesne?
Humans, is it? To have come all the way here, the ending point of both light and darkness...
What do you seek from this place? Power? Fame?
Foolish humans. Those do not await you here. Here, there is nothing.
No past, no future, no present. All that is sealed within this beautiful darkness is the stillness of eternity."
"I see you've begun to understand my glorious existence here.
Yet, perhaps it is best if you see for yourself my power... Power that held the whole world in fear...
...the power of the Void!"
Like that "No effect" at the end, like the game is saying "No, he's already dead."

meh, just the music, 1 to 4 have better versions on PSP, Steam, and others. 5 and 6 are better on GBA with a few patches
Soon
Mime! DualCast! Blue Magic! Rapid Fire!
These are absolute musts!
I spammed it over and over with Zeninage, but had to grind for quite a while to pick up 200,000 Gil for it.
nah, dual cast and rapid fire pretty boring and skippable. the must ones are just mix and blue magic (aim too but not every battle)
How is Mime a must? Let me know so I can find out for myself if it'll come in handy against (Neo)Exdeath.
