Phoenix, I summon thee... (Day 149)

So the second world came and went. When Galuf is plunged in without you guys, you realize that the only way to defeat ExDeath is to plunge in with him. The story of the previous four lightwarriors is revealed, and we find out that Galuf is one of them from before. We find out that Ex-Death's castle is shielded by a barrier that prevents the good guys from getting in. To break the barrier I had to climb up the barrier tower and defeat the boss that guarded it. Of course it was Atmos, his first appearance in Final Fantasy. A giant mirror that sucks your party members in. Not only does that character die, but he can't be used anymore during the battle; pretty gruesome.

After that battle the worlds collide and you find yourself returning to your world, only that remnants of the other world exist. The worlds have collided, but whats more intriguing is that it was altogether one from long ago, but the split was done to prevent Ex-Death from reviving. The story continues as you go back to Lenna's castle. Faris is greeted to be as the princess. After a brief departure from the gathering, Bartz finds himself with a conversation with Krile. They

After the worlds unite and I have retrieved Lenna, there's a bit of free time for the foursome to roam around. With airship in hand, I finished the piano quests and became a piano master. Playing that last song to the bard in Crescent gave me the Hero's song. I visited the Phantom town and purchased some remaining level 7 magics: Arise, Hastega, and Doom.

From there I fought Bahamut. Not an easy fight, but I managed to cheat him by using Hastega and healing faster than he can do Maelstrom. I was defeated, once again. Making it the fifth death in this game. After defeating him on my second run I had to show Odin's who's boss. After acquiring these two old souls, a new quest appeared, the phoenix tower. The quest was to treck up 28 floors to find Hiryu. The dragon jumps, burns, and is reborn as the Phoenix summon. One of the most useful summons of Final Fantasy 7, I guess it first appears here. That's enough talk for now.

Next update will talk about some of the humor of Final Fantasy V, and there is plenty.
