The Unknown Lore of The Weapons

[@KrusherMike]

Man, there's really not enough people talking about the WEAPONS. Glad you covered them!

[@DrakeyC]

Glad you watched and enjoyed it :)

[@TheAuron32]

FF14's Weapons might be the closest to being Gundam references, they are literally piloted and you the player even get in on the action in a pretty sweet and unique moment, a 1 v 1 showdown :)

[@ProToken420]

I almost forgot that Omega was created to fight Shinryu if it was ever to escape from the Void the Lunafrayen's imprisoned it in, the dragon was literally chaos incarnate, I also forgot that in the Sunken Laboratory when you fight Ultima Weapon, he is literally using the exact same Weapon Cloud had in FFVII, you making me want to play these games again especially after buying FFXVI recently and having the Buster Sword as dlc through Echoes of the Fallen was an awesome move the only sword I am currently using lmao

[@Vereid]

It is a disgrace that you don’t have many more thousands of views. That being said I only just found your channel myself, but am very glad I did. Subbed! Great videos!

[@ABenAbides]

I never noticed the Emerald Weapon easter egg in Crisis Core 😅

[@extra4542]

I wish Weapons were more prevalent in the series. I’m particularly disappointed whenever they use Omega instead of Omega Weapon bc the Weapons just look way cooler

[@fnafgamer2469]

I somehow never noticed that Ultima Weapon, Ultima Buster, and Omega Weapon from VI have 6 legs instead of 4. XD

[@DrakeyC]

in your defense, it can be hard to tell with those older sprites sometimes.

[@eumesmo1223]

Queria tanto que tivesse em português brazil 😢

[@DrakeyC]

Sorry, the only subtitles I have are English

[@PetarBladeStrok]

Awesome video. Love how you covered almost all the FF games in detail. One fun fact. In FFXIV it's stated that Ultima the High Seraph from FFTactics and Ivalice Raids, is the origin of Ultima magic, which Heart of Sabik uses. Also Estinien is pronounced Esti-ni-en. There's no "nine."

[@DrakeyC]

Darn, I always worry about FF14 name pronunciation. Actually had to re-record part of my Phoenix vid because I got "Louisoix" wrong. Thanks for letting me know, will pronounce it correctly in future vids :) And thanks for the lore on Ultima in 14, neat.

[@necroarcanistxiii]

There's also a variant of Weapon in Tactics Advance 2 for the Nintendo DS, set in Ivalice. The Upsilon-class enemies are Marks occupying 3x3, and in lore, are based on FF12's Omega Mk XII. Three models were made, which were designed to grow stronger by assimilating natural materials and Mist. The red "Smoldering Incubus", Upsilon-A1, can be fought as part of the Heritor questline. It has a Primary Weapon, which hits a 3-tile wide line and cuts all target HP in by 50%. It can also use Secondary Weapon, or Beguile, to hit a 3x3 cross with heavy damage, or the Charm and Doom statuses. It is situated on top of a volcano cauldron as its power source, and is difficult to climb up to with melee fighters, and it is immune to all elements with a high Resistance stat of 65. The green "Magick Weapon" fought in its self-titled "Wanted:" quest, serves as the game's solo Superbosses (Other "Superboss" missions include Brightmoon Tor and the final Cinqueler Quest, which involve multiple level 99 enemies), as a level 93 enemy. Situated in the Rupie Mountains to feed on snow, Upsilon-A2 has all the powers of A1 except it also alternates every turn absorbing high levels of Mist, and then causing an explosion that hits all party members on the field. The unamed, assumedly blue Upsilon-A3 was built to absorb seawater, but it took in too much ocean water at once and exploded.

Love this video! But you missing 1 tiny thing? It’s in A Anime call Final Fantasy Unlimited & that one Omega can destroy whole dimensions out of existence with just one hand looking for it’s missing parts of its missing body in other dimensions trying to find it’s self the same way to becoming one once again, oh Omega has a soul too & he’s just as powerful as any body part of his!!, but his whole body might be far the biggest Omega compared to any other Omega up to date & very deadly! 😱 I know in the past they were hoping to link Unlimited to Dissidia at some point to point out how infinite all worlds of Final Fantasy actually really is by far & much longer wide in scale!! Damn please excuse my wording! As it’s long winded… 😅

[@DrakeyC]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I was aware of the Final Fantasy Unlimited Omega, but as it didn't really fit the idea of a 'Weapon" enemy, I didn't mention it here. I included it in my video on Omega itself, though.

[@dannyleo5787]

This is very well informed and asks many thought provoking questions. For years now i had a theory as to why we keep seeing ultima and omega in many of these worlds. Besides simply being tests of might for numerous parties, they in their unique copies corresponding to the laws of these worlds are in secret knowledge seekers. Each version also sees a better version pending on the world as well based on advancements based on wether they be of a magical progression or of a scientific road. This may be of ultimas purpose but in terms of omega's many appearances they seek anomalys in these realitys to gauge the civilized world in which only they decide how their world goes foreward no matter how long it takes to gain the needed understanding of their strengths. Perhaps even being disconnected from the very sender to the dimension they were sent and were deemed destroyed so the maker creates new ultimas or omega's to move to the next world in its observations to understand and document. Since their are now 16 mainstream worlds now id imagine the sender has its very own recreationals of library's to constantly test and deploy copies to combat simulationed individuals to further its battle iq. The other weapons as well could also be mere experimentals seeking knowledge for geographical mapings to be studied by whomsoever has made them to understand these worlds laws to follow. This however Imo as said in video their's still no concrete evidence on who sends them or their purpose.

[@kyle13th97]

I finally found the video about these things instead of character weapons

[@TheSuckoShow]

Same here, haha. Reminds me, I read that Torrent in Elden Ring was named to make pirating harder

[@chrisdillon8376]

These videos are required viewing for any FF series fan

[@jaren12072]

You are criminally under subscribed, you put so much into your videos. Keep up the good work!!

[@DrakeyC]

Thank you, I will. :)

[@TheSuckoShow]

Thinking about the Gundam influence i kinda want a Final Fantasy Armored Core now

[@SecondChallenge]

Like iten tag

[@NotTheWheel]

This was a great video wasn't expecting coverage on every game in the series! Good work :)

[@DrakeyC]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@B-Man-69]

I still could not find a video on KZbin on Jade Weapon boss fight for FF7 Before Crisis. 😢

[@DrakeyC]

Sadly neither could I. I even looked on Japanese sites and couldn't find a thing.

Deathstriker

[@Voldemort_Pendlegrass]

Not the biggest FF fan, but I was always fascinated by the optional bosses in these games. Specifically the lore. I always wanted to learn who created them. Thanks for the video.

[@DrakeyC]

Happy to provide :)

[@SecondChallenge]

[@Zero-ELEC]

Really comprehensive and well redacted as always. Really enjoy these videos.

[@soyanchd5439]

0:45 where is it from?

[@DrakeyC]

Kingsglaive, the FF15 movie.

[@B33FY2011]

Your channle is criminally underrated. You should and deserve a hell of a lot more subs than just 6K. This was my first video of yours and I enjoyed every minute of it. I have subbed and will be going through the rest of your content.

[@DrakeyC]

Thank you very much for the encouragement :D It's been slow but I'm undeterred. Thank you for subbing, hope you enjoy the rest of the series.

[@TheBlackDeck]

subbed- liked. great work brother.

[@DrakeyC]

Thanks very much :)

[@Zinkyeal]

you missed ff11

[@DrakeyC]

Based on my knowledge, I'd not consider them Weapons; though that is their genus, the name and designs are more like Omega in FF5 than the Weapon-type enemies.

[@khalil8043]

You always skip final fantasy explorers

[@DrakeyC]

Not always, but I don't know everything about every game, so if Explorers features Weapons but it isn't documented, I can't cover it.

[@khalil8043]

@@DrakeyC how come it's not recorded? There are plenty of videos out there for Omega weapon in FFEX , as well as every other major FF boss

[@DrakeyC]

@@khalil8043 Ah, I see what you mean. Omega and Omega Weapon aren't the same being, the one that appears in Explorers is Omega, and that is indeed covered in my Omega video.

[@khalil8043]

@@DrakeyC I think you missed my point, I have watched some of your videos about FF bosses like Ifrit, Bahamut... And you always skip FFEX version of those bosses, So I thought I should point it out because not everyone played that game.

[@DrakeyC]

@@khalil8043 I understand you. With Bahamut in particular my coverage was awful, I skipped a lot of spinoff and in hindsight some of them were quite interesting. As for FFE, off the top of my head I recall covering it for Diabolos, Alexander, and Ramuh. That said, I'll try to be more comprehensive about it in the future.

[@eivarden]

does ff11 not exist? ;_;

[@DrakeyC]

It does, yes
