Final Fantasy Tactics Part #89 - Murond Death City and Lost Sacred Precincts

Part 89: Murond Death City and Lost Sacred Precincts

Of course, you still have to fight a bunch of guys even down here.

We're in the old capital of Ivalice, the seat of the empire that condemned Ajora to death, that was destroyed in series of natural disasters...

Kletian is waiting for us with a retinue of guys.

: Then, unless I defeat you here, I can't face Rofel... Come on!!

Besides the Mace of Zeus, Kletian's boring. Same spells as last time, same crippling lack of competency. MA Save and Fly are interesting touches though.

Ninjas are ninjas of course.

Notice all the Feather Mantles. The endgame loves the shit out of feather mantles.

Bad compatibility? Eh, Kletian and Norma never really had a chance.

Then again this piece of shit said Ramza doesn't love Punching Demons so I doubt it can be that accurate.

Eldena petrifies a few guys for the hell of it.

And Beowulf essentially cuts out Kletian's legs from underneath him. All he has besides his All Magic is his staff. Oh dear, he'll hit us for 72!

Once again my brutality cuts out some mid-battle conversation.

: Where's Vormav!? Where did he go!?

: Where? What an odd thing to say... We came to Death City to revive our master. He slumbers in this world incomplete parts. Vormav is heading for the master's resting place... where St. Ajora died!

: Where is that!? Where!?

: You'll have to defeat me to find out!

I think this is Agrias literally cutting out Kletian's legs from underneath him.

Kletian's troops just stand there, flabbergasted.

Or calcified in a couple of cases.

I give Ramza the secret clothes so he'll be invisible too. I like having a bunch of invisible guys sneaking up on the boss.

Also Tiamat Time again.

This is one of the neater level names to me and you can go away if you don't think it's cool.

Is that... Balk? Wait, is that a Tiamat with him!?

But he's invisible.

: I was beaten before, but not this time. I'll make Death City your grave!!

Balk's chemist friend has a Glacier Gun.

Balk himself has a Blast Gun.

I think this is the only Tiamat in the entire game outside of End or Bariaus Valley's rare battle.

This bridge is the only way across the chasm in the middle for characters who can't fly or teleport.

This battle is pretty hard if you don't know what you're doing. Tiamats and Hydras are monsters, Balk and his buddy have pretty strong weapons, and the Dark Behemoth will plug up the bridge.

Ramza and Norma teleport over, still invisible. They'll only break it to shove shit up Balk's ass and kill him again.

: You turned into one of Lucavi's too... You'd sink that low just to live? What a pity!!

: It's pretty nice, kid. I'm finally a real human being!

: I wouldn't call selling your soul to the devil human!

: I'm above 'death'. At the top of the human race. Now I don't have to endure unjust treatment by you aristocrats!! I've won true 'freedom'! I'm a true 'human being'! I will be treated 'equally' now!!

: A real 'human being'? Don't make me laugh!! How valuable is a 'freedom' you didn't earn yourself? The moment 'pride' is lost, 'freedom' is also lost...!! You lost your freedom when you lost your pride and confidence....!! 'Equality's not something you're given! It's something you fight for!! Any 'freedom' gotten from Lucavi isn't true freedom.
