As the defeat of Shin-Ryu marks the end of the most difficult boss in Final Fantasy 5, I had nothing left to do but beat the game. Yes, I fought Ex-Death. He was attached to a giant tree and turned into something with with four body parts. It was a hell of an easier fight than dealing with Shin-Ryu. For one thing, Ex-Death didn't have any attacks that can wipe out all four of you. Next it's evasion was not impossibly high. I beat him by summoning Bahamut over and over, while healing and using Quick to do double casts. He dies, we return to the earth, and see a long cut-scene. The crystals' strength is restored and the elements return to the earth. The girls become princesses, our lonely hero wanders off, Krile visits his grandfather grave. We see them all get back together and well, it ends.
No, it doesn't end. I'm still stuck in a rut. There is an earthquake undersea and another "Sealed Temple" surfaces. I am definitely under-leveled here. I beat the Gil Turtle the second time, but the fact that there aren't many consecrated save spots around makes it really hard. Until the finishing of the end game, I'll be fighting.
