That's a bit too on the nose. (ie. "hidden" and έρεβος "darkness")
A grand trine (Grand Delta's original name) refers to an equilateral-triangle formation of three celestial bodies in the celestial sphere (on its own, "trine" is just a fancy synonym for trio, triple, etc.). If you missed it, you can get Hidon to respawn by talking to Gungho again (12.5% chance each time, repeatable).

![Final Fantasy VI [PC] - Kaiser Dragon
Kaiser, the most infamous dummied monster of the SNES version, was probably intended to be available after defeating the eight dragons. This particular version is completely new; the dummy is still in the GBA coding, and remains unused.
One Barrier Change = one life (five lives total, 65,500 HP each); it changes to the next one when depleted of health or when it next Barrier Changes (every 30 ticks before its final phase). Throw up your defences and wait (and heal as needed) until its fifth Barrier Change before you attack (preferably with non-elemental defence-ignoring attacks). You WILL need Ribbons for Mind Blast in the final phase, so if it uses Cloudy Heaven, reset. (Addendum: I havent tried this, but you could theoretically bypass its attacks in its first four phases with the Quick trick as seen in the Red Dragon video. Could be useful in the Soul Shrine.)

Insert I was just pretending! joke here…when your super-duper-ultimate-true form takes LESS effort to beat than the weaker one, yeah Im gonna say youre retarded.
(Yes, you can just use the Elixir [from Damcyan] on him for an instant kill, but thats a) boring and b) FAR more useful elsewhere than an X-Potion. But Im sure veghbot will bring it up anyway…) Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster - Scarmiglione](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ibN8kX49_SQ/mqdefault.jpg)
![Final Fantasy VI [PC] - Ice Dragon #2
You may have seen Ice Dragons duplicate strategy in action with Vector Lythoses in Kefkas Tower. Of course, those were piss-easy random encounters, and the dragon is not. (Granted, Ice Dragon isnt DIFFICULT—Ice Shields are easy enough to farm—but still.) Final Fantasy VI [PC] - Ice Dragon #2](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/j8U0ZLRZvVI/mqdefault.jpg)

![Final Fantasy V [PC] (LLG 2/1/1/4) - Sol Cannon
ソル, ie. Sun Cannon, _not_ soul. Much later on theres an enemy called ソウルイーター Soul Eater (note the extra ウ), so this translation is a slight stuff-up.
This and the Sergeant/Iron Claw fight in Karnak are the two forced EXP fights that matter (the Bartz-only Goblins at game start are completely unavoidable, and all other forced fights either give no EXP or can have it circumvented); 2/2/2/3 (all party members gain EXP) gives you higher party average but more evenly spread; 2/1/1/4 gives you lower party average but Faris absorbs all EXP and is of a slightly higher level (this does matter gameplay-wise in potentially significant ways).

![Final Fantasy V [PC] (LLG 2/1/1/4) - Enuo
I dont like Finishers coin flip. Omega Mk.II, Neo Shinryu and Enuo all have such high defence that Gil Toss is worthless. Of course, I wanted to see how fast I could beat him at low levels; you would want to be more cautious, for sure. Once you reach his second phase, you can guarantee a win by having one character hide and letting a Reflect Ring character get zombiefied (he always uses a damaging reflectable attack on the loops second turn).
The GBA version had him fade out like a normal enemy, with no victory screen; this version _does_ have a victory screen, and you get 180 ABP (+ learned blue magic, if any) for winning. (Thats still less than the three Mover formation, though.)
Earlier drafts of the story would have had Enuo (or at least his body) as the final boss, with Exdeath seeking to resurrect him; obviously, that never came to fruition. My interpretation of the GBA version: Enuo was cast into the deepest recesses of the Void after his defeat (Lethe Courts JP name is 光と闇の果て the end of light and darkness), and the Ancients stationed the Guardian there with orders to kill intruders on sight, that no-one would never free him.
