It should also be noted that due to 2 extra characters being placed in the game, Umaro and Gogo, you will have two characters which will not be able to be used in the final battle. This may be able to be used to protect a weak party early on in picking up equipment, but in general you will still need three strong parties to complete some areas where the path divides. It should be noted that if one of your parties possess Molulu's Charm (Moogle Charm) and equips it on Mog that party can explore Kefka's Tower without worrying about anything but boss fights. All your groups will engage in their own boss fights and exploration so you will need three strong parties.

This is reflected in Kefka, who has become the God of Magic and tells the Returners that life is meaningless.You will be able to use at most 12 characters in the final battle with Kefka, and against all the dungeons and bosses preceding that point. After traversing through Heaven Dante meets God, who explains to him the meaning of life. This is reflected by Visage in the first tier, Tiger, Magic, Power and Machine in the second tier, and Rest and Lady in the third tier. In the Divine Comedy, Hell is where Satan is a demon entrapped up to the waist, Purgatory is a place of suffering and spiritual growth, and Heaven is where Dante meets famous saints. Lady's Japanese name is Maria, another name for the Virgin Mother.Ī common fan interpretation of the Statue of the Gods is that they symbolize the Divine Comedy, an epic poem in which the author Dante Alighieri travels through the stages of the afterlife, Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. The positioning of Rest and Lady is based on Michelangelo's Pietà, a sculpture of Jesus lying in Mary's lap after being crucified. The artwork for the Statue of the Gods shows many of them wearing capes and sashes similar to Kefka, indicating symbolism to his ascension to godhood. No official material support this the idea was created by Nintendo of America. Those who fail to survive after all enemies in a tier have been defeated are removed from the active party before facing the next tier, and are replaced by the next characters in sequence.Īccording to the Final Fantasy III Nintendo Player's Guide, the final battle sequence is supposed to be a rematch of the Warring Triad, the first tier being Demon, the second tier being against Goddess, and the third tier being against Fiend.


This boss is fought during the final battle in the form of a gauntlet where the party has to survive each battle sequence before they can face Kefka. The Statue of the Gods is a towering and twisted, statue-like, supernatural monstrosity and a boss that acts as a series of bosses in Final Fantasy VI, and it's name comes from the Final Fantasy 25th Memorial Ultimania.
