Four Elemental Lords - Battle with the Four Fiends - FFIV Pixel Remastered

[@dvp84]

Rosa in the front row giving me a low-key panic attack

[@edgeninja]

It can't really be helped. FuSoYa is so weak, he needs to be in the back.

[@e.antonygray7497]

@@edgeninja when I do this, I switch the row structure to have Edge and Cecil in front and three in back.

[@anthonyjackson9654]

Put edge in the back. Lol he's made of paper worse than Rose

[@PaladinDusty]

@@edgeninja Yes it can, if you know how to play the game.

[@Noel_573]

supposedly being in the back row in FF4 doesn't affect damage you receive/take like other FFs, all it does is cut your accuracy in half when not using a long range weapon

[@visidenvisidane1155]

You have taught us the value of teamwork, which is why we will attack you one at a time.

[@chrisc6857]

Lol, seriously. I was always disappointed by this fight for that exact reason, though it would have been a pain to clear. Still, now that the four fiends are in FF 14, I fully expect there will eventually be an Ultimate battle that is in fact all four of them at once.

[@thesilentangel8299]

That made no sense. At the very least they should have switched every few turns.

[@Blues2Dark]

I thought you'd face all 4 of them on the same screen, that would have made things interesting,

[@jasonjaiid6833]

In fact, in the 3D remake(Nds and pocket edition)After you beat them once in the second play through (aka new game+), a hidden boss “Geryon”can be found within the Giant of Babil after the defeat of the four Archfiends, or on Mount Ordeals after the Giant of Babil becomes inaccessible. He is armed with all of the Elemental Archfiends' signature attacks. These include Scarmiglione's Gas, Cagnazzo's Tsunami, Barbariccia's Maelstrom and Lightning, and Rubicante's Inferno. It is also able to use Curse, Stone Touch, and a powerful physical attack.

[@RydiasRevenge]

I beat them all with Solo Rydia :)

[@shadowstarz3651]

Rubicante: *heals you* Other Elemental Lords: Damn it, what are you doing?! Other Elemental Lords: I can't believe we lost! Rubicante: It's been an honor. For an evil fiend, Rubicante is quite noble.

[@TheAzulmagia]

Just because he's a bad guy doesn't mean he's a bad person.

[@RagnarokB]

Someone's gotta put the Lawful in Lawful Evil, and damnit, Rubicante is the only guy for that job!

[@RydiasRevenge]

If you haven't already, you should play Edge's scenario in FF4: The After Years, and then the Crystals Part 1 he makes an appearance, he's much like Gilgamesh in FF5.

[@michaelmoore1627]

So that's why goku gave cell a senzu bean.

[@sandorcleg7393]

Yooooooo you put Rosa up front with Cecil and Edge?! You brave mad lad you!! Lol

[@civilwildman]

Every time those bosses died and crumbled away when I played the original version, I always imagined them screaming "NOOOOOOO!!!!" as they died.

[@sleepythemis]

Hyadain did justice to this theme yet again for the XIV trials.

[@briangaron7609]

This really does sound like a theme song for the demons from Dante's Inferno. I kept rats as pets in my youth and always named them after the demons named in the book.

[@e.antonygray7497]

I ended up at too low a level in the Giant of Babel, so this fight was pretty tense. I barely beat the mechanical dragon (ordinary enemy!) and almost got stuck in a death loop on the CPU. It helps a little to have Rosa in the back row (she has a lot of HP, but poor defense.) Rubicante's restoration of your hp/mp in this situation isn't really that much of a game changer as there is a save spot not far off. As always, some items (like Phoenix Downs and Hi-/X-potions) are worth their weight in gold. They really help you out in this battle by giving you Fusoya who is basically a double-Tellah, having the ability to cast two third tier elemental spells per round makes the incredible amount of damage you need to inflict bearable.

[@kingplaya6558]

This actually looks a lot more bearable here. The only version I played is the DS remake and this fight took a whole day of attempts

[@FormerMoonGod]

THE DS REMAKE IS NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT.

[@unknownuser494]

Honestly it was easy compare to golbez battle.

[@joshk147]

@@FormerMoonGod ???? notoriously easy you mean

[@FormerMoonGod]

@@joshk147 No offense here, what reality are you in bro? That game was far from easy. Only beat it because I abused grinding on the moon. I wish I bought the steam version because the DS version only has one difficulty.

[@tylerprince6371]

My first time playing this was the ds version and I have bad memories of this battle specifically because i got to this battle in my first playthrough, lost a couple times, then I had to restart from the beginning because my save somehow got deleted

[@gameingdude2266]

I love this version the brass makes it more epic

[@solidskullz5736]

Definitely one of the greatest versions of this theme. It’s so hype and one of the best battle themes in any rpg

[@TheDecatonkeil]

What happened to their proper names, Rubicante, Cagnazzo, Barbariccia and Scarmiglione?

[@TigerNightmare]

Pretty sure this fight was always like that with them sharing a single name.

[@e.antonygray7497]

@@TigerNightmare yeah, I think it always said something like 'four elements' - it's a unique boss in that it changes form when it receives a certain amount of damage. Ironic since they claim to want to 'work together' but still just fight you one at a time.

[@andrestewart2316]

I mean in the DS version they kinda "fuse" together and become an absolute nightmare...

[@dustinarmstrong1168]

That was a New Game + exclusive superboss in the DS version, Geryon.

[@KiaZelonKro]

Play this with 1.10 speed, it slaps harder and the beat feels better.

[@thegentlemanfish7504]

Can confirm, it slaps at that speed

[@LeMelleKH2]

This^^ I hated that they slowed it down from the original versions

[@arhkadian2389]

Yeah, I can't stand that they slowed it down, I always swap to the original snes version for these fights.

[@sunetefrost2394]

can totally see the remake of this fight in xiv as next ultimate^^

[@Anaklusmos42]

The four lords ? That'd be cool indeed. Can't wait to know what's in stock for Rubicante

[@bon7029]

@@Anaklusmos42 Rubicante: Would you like to see what's under my cloak? Derplander: THERE ARE LALAFELL IN THIS PARTY!

[@historiabyssus]

@@bon7029 And then we actually get Rubicante's remix.....

[@RetroNutcase]

[@dylanmanley935]

@@bon7029 hahaha..... ummm about that

[@jaranth9512]

All 4 should have been out at once to make this a true fight

[@RydiasRevenge]

They should have used this theme during Culex in SMRPG Remake 2nd fight.

[@Disembow1280]

Motif: "...uhhh okay *ahem* FINALLY a worthy opponent! Have at you, fiend! (just fake it til you make it, Cecil...)"

[@jojojoma3026]

Does this sound slower than the SNES original or is it just me?

[@bon7029]

It is slightly slower,

[@Blues2Dark]

It is.

[@AnonymosCritic]

Fun fact, use Curaga on Scarmilone and it does substantial damage!

[@Bladehound83]

That's the case for all undead enemies in early FF games.

[@michaelmoore1627]

My first FF game, rpg, and jrpg. Course it was on the Snes, so yeah im old😂 just turned 40. Never played the DS version and the remake for advance was too easy for my taste. Amazing music all and all.

_"Manto no naka, misete yarou ka..."_

[@flintecho3591]

HELP! WRONG PARTY STRUCTURE! HELP!

[@SwordHMX]

Is it just me, or do the character sprite look less detailed than the PSP version?

[@vvbvgeneraltsung2913]

Fucking rocking theme

[@RangoTheMercenary]

Barbariccia my boo.

[@mr.redeyes2583]

BOY! DONT USE THUNDAGA ON THE EARTH ELEMENTAL LORD!!! >:O

[@TheDownUnderDudes]

This lacks the intensity of the original...

[@Zanketsune]

It's slightly slower, that's probably what you're hearing

[@KironX1]

I honestly don’t like the music remakes for the pixel remasters at all. It’s missing the feeling and atmosphere of the originals. Also, can we talk about the worst most generic font ever…

[@PaladinDusty]

Another video of a classic Final Fantasy game uploaded by someone that has no idea how to play the game.

[@JASpiring]

Yeah, healing the enemy? How hard is it to look up enemy weaknesses?

[@PaladinDusty]

@@JASpiring I was mainly talking about not knowing how to arrange characters in the front and back rows properly.

[@Zetchr0n0]

This version of the theme fits better for an anime, playing the game i prefer the original snes music
