In FFX you only really start hitting the big big cosmic shit post Yunalesca, and even then Jecht is sort of portrayed as this tragic figure that has a clear developed connection to Tidus and other party members. Like the last disc or so in FFIX is wild, but there are so many scenes with Kuja earlier on to establish personal stakes, there's the subversion with Garland etc. Usually either the back half of the game feels super fresh (WoR), or the villain has some sort of intimate connection to the protagonist and there are more personal stakes involved, or they keep the real cosmic shit to very late game stuff. Like, plenty of FF games do this sort of thing, but they have some sort of hook. Could even say something cool like “Unrelenting whorl!” or something… I get not including it cause then Clive wouldn’t be able to counter it, lol, but it would have been a fantastic surprise if they suddenly pulled out Leviathan. Which means they should have water magic too. Explains why Ultimalius is able to use dark, ice, and lightning or whoever the heck Horn’s corresponding Eikon is. I assume it’s also specifically how they can use the different elements.Īlthough, now that I think about it… Dzemekys, Drake’s Eye, and Drake’s Horn being destroyed because of the blight meant their Ultima all returned to Origin. Each heart we destroyed meant another Ultima getting freed (we just don’t see it and only find out in the final battle) which allows Ultima to transform into Ultimalius later. Ultima (the “main” one) says “Welcome home, brother.” Which I took as the one sealed inside Joshua as really being this separate “person.” They’re a hive mind and all though, so it kind of hardly matters, but they’re different. Which is, well, when we find out there are multiple of them. Click to shrink.I thought it was too until the final battle.
