FFIV Week 2024 Day 1 - Locked Up

I'd imagine Kain's capture and brainwashing was a rough experience for him...

I need to do something less ambitious next time this took all day, it's an image I've been wanting to get out of my head for a while though, so I'm glad it's finally on paper.

I think it's not a coincidence that I like FF9 almost as much as FF4. I found a page on the final fantasy wiki with all the allusions in FF9, and the nods to FF4 are many : the medieval fairytale fantasy atmosphere, the airships and their designs, Alexander's design looking like Amano's design for the giant of Babil, a lot of easter eggs (Doga's mirror with Zemus' words that the body may perish but the spirit lives on, one of the best Freyja's weapons being Kain lance -I have to make sure I can have it next time I play it, …)

Personally I can't wait to have more informations about FFIX's remake (or remaster ?) the rumors talk about and the Echo S 9 fan dub mod project by Tsunamods. There's already an amazing demo about Echo S 9 (Steiner ! Vivi !! <3 ) and watching it reminded me of the parallels between Cecil and Zidane, and the scenario in general, the very similar relationship to the enemy brother, the importance of the moon and the axis connecting the worlds (the Ifia tree and the Tower of Babil, both referring to the Yggdrasil of Nordic legends), …

But in reality, from a character point of view, Cecil and Zidane are quite opposite at the beginning. Zidane is optimistic, spontaneous, adventurous, naturally rebellious. They both arrive on an airship in the opening sequence, but in reality, Cecil is more like Garnet concerning his situation. The game begins in both cases by showing them mulling over nightmares in their rooms. They have a relationship a bit similar to their royal parent, with all the dilemmas implied. In both cases, this parent first denied their identity for the sake of protection, then became an ugly big blue greedy evil ogre to the point of using them only as a tool, and their relationship explodes in the child's face … in the form of a (or several) bombo!

In fact, the character developpement is not exactly the same, Garnet is more sensitive and hesitant, still hoping to repair his relationship with Queen Brahne, when Cecil gave up (actually the king is already dead) and is more rushing to the end of his journey. But they have similar struggles to sort out their conflicting feelings, the guilt of not living up to the great person they would like to be, that people expect them to be, and keep these thoughts to themselves, with Cecil being used to "…" and Garnet having a period of mutism herself. And both have a physical transformation visible in their images in the menu, from closed expressions to more open and bright faces once they have discovered more about themselves and integrated a new, life-saving identity that help them to move forward.

I'm happy to find all these common points, but also finding the differences since I like the two characters, and I would not be surprised to find more thinking about it and replaying the games.

Drabble prompt 63: Cold Embrace

Cagnazzo would never admit to the other fiends how taxing it was to be Odin. As a public figure, it was difficult for Cagnazzo to have privacy to be himself, as himself. 

Rubicant would remind Cagnazzo that only he was “given” a kingdom, and to focus on the next mission.  

Barbariccia would tease Cagnazzo about the limitations of stinking human flesh and make a crass joke. 

Scarmiglione wouldn’t say anything, only give Cagnazzo a baleful look, maggots wriggling from his sockets. 

Only the ocean knew the true Cagnazzo and loved him anyway; its cold embrace accepted him as he was.

GOLBEZ AND THE FOUR ARCHFIENDS

"No sacrifice is too great. Even should my four archfiends be lost, I will not halt my steps. The prison of passivity is an obstacle to my cause and so you must fall. What irony that the blessed damned should set us free! As I swore so long ago. The gate lies open. At long last, my ambition shall be fulfilled! Accursed Light… you who have ever basked in its warmth could never understand our envy! Our agony! You will not deny us our release!"

[fresh-orange-whispers]

Four fiends.

[rousedwhisperingdawn]

Rubicante: My hands cannot hold even the smallest of hopes. All my training and power cannot save a single life. Yet even should war rage, even should the world be engulfed in darkness, will my duty remain, to keep the flame alive. That is all these hands can do.

Cagnazzo: MY HANDS ARE RATED E FOR EVERYONE

Pg. 14: Wave-Carressed Arcanum

(MODEL: Prince Horu Higuri)

Crashing into the stage of high fashion comes a set of clothing worthy of the Archfiend of Water himself, Cagnazzo.  The Wave-Caressed Arcanum takes from the Drowned King’s imposing form and has immortalized it into a regal set of finery.

Blues and golds reminiscent to the aqueous Archfiend set the scheme for this piece: a flowing, caped vest with accents resembling cresting waves; dark blue gloves lined with gold to mirror Cagnazzo’s claws, all brought together with a precious pendant and crown jeweled with pearls said to house his own power.

Created in the Hingan couturial style known as “Ouji” or “Prince”, the Wave-Caressed Arcanum also blends elements from Aristocratic fashion, resulting in a unique fusion of flowing cuts and exquisite frills.  

And what better way to compliment a set of water-aspected attire than with a parasol?  This clothing set comes with your very own means to beat the rain, and its heavy water aspect makes it water-resistant, allowing you to look your best even in the dreariest conditions.

The Wave-Caressed Arcanum is your ticket to princely fashion, and with it worn, you are bound to make a statement and make a splash upon the couture realm!

(Credit and thanks to Sapphrix for the creation of this masterpiece!)
