Final Fantasy IX - Hades (Optional Boss)

[@gamester512]

*Fun Fact:* You can fight Ozma (whom is harder than Hades), and if you beat Ozma before you fight Hades, then Hades has one hell of an "Oh Crap!" reaction at the start of the fight! XD

[@bogymanthedark]

gamester512 when he said YOU BEAT OZMA!!? me:and your next b*tch

[@TheOfficialHelloKittyPowa]

Fun fact Number 2: Hades was originally the final boss of the game, not Necron. Personally I'm glad of that decision because Hades as a final boss would of somewhat been completely typical for a final boss. I mean Hades is already a familiar villain.

[@RemyDyte]

The Official HelloKittyPowa it would have made more sense for hades to be the final boss

[@Bramhallthefifth]

beating ozma should have made hades harder

[@PlayBunnyGaming]

@@Bramhallthefifth Than people would go for Hades first. Not much point.

[@aziamuth6856]

Hades is such a good guy. You kick his ass and gives you access to the best shop.

[@hartantoanggoro]

The rumored Legendary Synthesis shop

My favorite boss battle in the game, and love Hunter's Chance playing during the battle!

[@ATK1734]

If they ever do a full on remake of FF9 (like they are with FF7), I hope Beatrix becomes a full-time party member

[@lordvegeta16]

Dude, me too

[@mjmelo9203]

And Trance to not be self-active ._.

[@FrozenDairy]

There is a mod called Alternate Fantasy that makes her a full-time party member. She even participates in the cutscenes. Look it up.

[@chrisbary6352]

use Steiner he has nearly the same techniques

[@madProgenitorDeity]

This guy was originally going to be the last boss. no idea why they chose necron instead.

[@animeisacurse8840]

Kind of a last minute decision

[@Dittoritos]

That would explain why he has his own theme.

[@Al-tanin]

That's not his theme, that's the theme from the Hunt festival in Lindblum

[@segaswirl3007]

madProgenitorDeity Hmm this one looks like a dirty man sitting in a chair. xD

[@thur..]

Necron has what it takes to be a perfect optional boss

[@elijahcollazo2535]

Fighting him on level 38 is probably why I can't beat him

[@pmanlicious7117]

Lmao. I fought him when all my character at level 75

[@The0rangeCow]

someone hasn't beaten Ozma yet...

[@QueenHyatt]

Thanks for letting us have Hunter's Chance back, game. 8D

[@killertrip10]

I love how they loved hunter's chance so much they couldn't help but throw it in again.

[@ShadowCrowX]

can't wait for Steam release!

[@godzilladestroyscities1757]

20 years ago I spend 3 months playing this game. It was fun.

[@Cr1ms0nRav3n]

Man I've always loved the animation for both the flair and holy spells in this game. Those spells look and feel like they hit hard. Unlike FF8 , those two spells are "meh" in that game.

[@canalultimateattack3169]

The magic in FF8 is basically only for junctions, I like the sound effects for Holy though.

[@michaeljames6737]

@@canalultimateattack3169 i like the limit break sound effect in ff7

[@sofaris576]

Flare from FFX is also pretty lame looking but FFX holy looks cool. I still prefer FFIX holy.

[@danielcastaneda1530]

However, FF8 has better summon showtimes. FF9 kinnda nerfed that part, disapointing, I love summons, thats what got me into the full Final Fantasy saga in first place.

[@ulibarriL]

This guy is pretty cake compared to Ozma, but he still poses a significant threat. Coming here unprepared will very likely result in total wipe. Just don't underestimate him and you should be good. Since an average level of 60-70 is recommended for this dungeon, that is a good place to be to fight him as well.

[@celebi734]

ulibarriL I killed this guy in like one minute.

[@Bizkit047]

@Braskasfinalaeon37 Nope, this game maxes out at 9999. It also does not let you hit more than once per move like the last few FFs. The bosses would be a joke if you could, as most bosses in the game don't have over 50k HP.

[@CHlZZNUTSS]

You can use Quina's "Angel Snack" to cure all the Mini problem in one turn right?

[@TheRobMr]

You need that auto haste and auto regen

[@greenpeach20]

I went all over that reef and I never got an ominous voice. Is there a spot I'm missing without realizing it? I can't seem to find Hades in that reef.

[@MrOrcshaman]

Looks like Mummra made a guest appearance

[@manman504]

Hades actually wasnt that hard for me compared to many of the other crazy superboss in the Final Fantasy series. I beat him on the first try.

[@Jrdotan]

And ozma?

[@michaeljames6737]

the ruby weapon he was a piece of shit and everybody knew it

[@manman504]

@@Jrdotan Ozma was easy for me too

[@Walamonga1313]

How do you avoid getting 1 shot by the stupid Cleave attack?

[@manman504]

@@Walamonga1313 I may have been over leveled. I dont remember being 1 shot.

[@PieMasterX13]

It does curse??? I beaten him everytime before he could even use that power and I thought damn got to get him now but ya.

[@vegetafan9922]

Final Fantasy IX an amazing game made ever better by the fact that you can fight...THE DEV'ELL!!! **BITCHIN' GUITAR SOLO**

[@arckangel420]

If you don't Steal the Pumice Piece at the mini-ark fight, theres no way to get the summon right?

[@snow8141]

either by stealing it from ozma or killing ozma and getting the pumice

[@senatorcthulu1815]

You get it one pummice piece from beating Ark, and you can get another from digging with the chocobo on the world map

[@crashbandicoot5087]

i can't beleive i didn't find somthing like this in FFIX

[@Braskasfinalaeon37]

you can't break the damage limit here?

[@Daybreak6427]

Isn't he the guy to beat if you want the legendary synthesizer? I keep buying just everything from weapons shops until the time comes when I can get the best stuff.

[@silai88]

Or you just equip ribbon an all chars?

Me. I like the all physical team; Him, steiner, quina and zidane.

[@MrOrcshaman]

Wouldn't Freya count as part of the physical team, since quinas more like a blue mage

[@miguelangelsalaslegonia7356]

I do, with the weapon that gives chance to execute the enemy in one hit

[@jasirmills582]

What's the name of the music playing during the boss

[@LG1204]

+Khalid Mills Hunter's chance

[@jasirmills582]

TheDe4thC0br4 Thank you :)

[@LG1204]

Khalid Mills np :D

[@KCGainz]

This shoulda been the decisive boss battle. Ffix's version of jenova or atma weapon or ffviii's Premonition theme, or FF5s decisive battle. This woulda been perfect

[@KCGainz]

+Christopher Knox this coulda been the song to face beatrix and kuja, garland and other high profile bosses

[@justindza]

Is this the actual music that plays? If so, is this only played with this boss?

[@Ketsukim]

Song name is Hunter's Chance, this is the actual music of this boss but it's also played during the Festival of the Hunt

[@miguelangelsalaslegonia7356]

And with the battle against ark iirc

[@ericdufresne8633]

bravo

[@Walamonga1313]

This guy sucks, he's just like Jecht in that he one shots your whole team with 1 sword attack
