Not gonna lie, this ending took me completely off guard when I first saw it, namely 'cos it was pretty much the first time I'd ever seen an RPG actually have the balls to go _this_ far with an 'evil' ending... What truly makes it so hilarious/depressing is just how UTTERLY _screwed_ your former companions are... they literally have *ZERO* chance of winning - heck, I don't think you could lose this battle even if you tried!
@@snoobcat Outside of using cheats, I really don't see how it would be possible... your companions' DPS is far too low to ever outstrip your regen; plus, the reprisal mechanic - which the player has no control over - would likely kill off everyone but Nina & Eshin, even if all you did was defend... basically, this was not a battle ever intended to be lost!
@@PeteTheGrouch No, no i did it in the original ps1 when i was a kid. I didn't even know cheats like gameshark existed back then. My memory is a bit fuzzy when it comes to the details about the fight, but i still have vivid memories of me trying as hard as i can to lose as infini, only to be super disappointed when it just showed the game over scene. Iirc what i did was to have Fou-lu equip a weak sword obtainable from the bandit instead of the royal sword in order to prevent him from accidentally killing someone with that +1 hit, and also since the +1 hit part doesn't work if you hit yourself as well as removing all his armor to reduce his defense in dragon form in his last playable scene. Then i boost scias' attack with the dragon blade (and probably to cray and ursula too). I also used focus lv3 using the armor from the rider. Then i just hit myself, i think it was also a self inflicted crit hit too. Breath of fire 4 is one of my favorite game of all time, you don't know just how many times i've replayed the game. Other things that i've done is beating rider like 10+ times in a row relatively low leveled (like lvl 30-35 not too sure) without cheats, without resting in an inn, without using dragon forms, and without the spell that can only be used once every 3 hours. It's possible using Ryu with the cursed sword and super combo. I think i was farming the king's armor from rider back then.
You can just use Soul Rend on yourself. It will bring you down to 1 health and then let the party members finish you off. You'll get game over before your health can regenerate.
I actually prefer this ending. Yuna gets what she deserves, and, Fou- Lu giving up on humanity is actually believable given what he's seen ( terrible war before he founded the Fou empire and with the carronade). In the true ending Yuna is Left alive to keep doing what she was doing. If there is a main antagonist to this story it's Yuna.
I think the game should have had 3 endings, the third being after getting any of the two endings as a post credit gaming sequence where the Ayer has to find Yuna and destroy her, since she is the responsible of all the ulterior evil doings in the world.
@@Raikovleo Dude, you literally end the game as an unstoppable Dragon God... I think it's pretty safe to say that no matter what hole he tries to crawl down, Yuna - along with the rest of the world - is royally f*cked..!
My favorite video game antagonist, and my favorite "bad" ending ever! And of course the obvious inspiration for my username. Thanks for uploading!
Anti-Disney ending.
If you don't attack Nina talk something like "Is Ryu there?"
If you heal them with an item yes, you get: Ryu! That is you, isn't it, Ryu!?
Which just makes the whole thing more emotional.

You can if you try really hard. I did it once years ago cause i was curious and all i got was a game over screen.

@@GlutenSensitivityReader Ah, that would be one way to do it, I suppose... kinda forgot friendly fire was even a thing in this game.

Sorry but I don't get how Yuna was punished with this ending, unless it was because all mortals would suffer and she's in the package.
This theory of yours is not proven at any time in this end, you just deduced it for being implied... Without facts

lol, we are playing as boss? XD
although it's bad ending, it quite cool to play as boss XD
Having the opportunity to kill all the good guys in the game is wonderful! 🥰
