The mythical two-headed hound Orthros (kin to Cerberus) guarded the cattle of Geryon in the uttermost west. Who knows why he's an octopus in this game.

Aka Zurvan (lord of infinity in the Persian splinter religion of Zurvanism).
鬼神 (fierce god) as a concept has no real Western equivalent; theyre frequently associated with violence, but arent necessarily evil as such (eg. the wrathful deities of Buddhism, who destroy obstacles barring the path to enlightenment; there might be truly malevolent examples somewhere); notable pop culture references include the Fierce Deitys Mask from the Legend of Zelda and Luffys Gear 4 forms from One Piece (that he was able to create those forms despite working with misleading info is rather telling…). I personally wouldve gone with daemon (note the a) as a translation, albeit with the caveat that its not fully accurate either.")

Unfortunately the bottom-left tentacle is (seemingly) immune to instant death in this version. Also, fuck it, I dont care if this is suboptimal. (It isnt immune in the PR version either, so I have no idea what was with the constant misses in previous recordings.)")

Referring to the esper you can grab afterward. While using the Banish trick forfeits its Guard Bracelet drop due to how the battle ends, a) you can steal them from a random encounter in the final dungeon, and b) theyre not that useful anyway. (Well, you can turn them into Heros Rings in the colosseum, if you want more.) If you dont want to use that cheeseball strat, set Invisible status on your characters beforehand; Fury is a magic attack, so the possessed character will become visible. Berserk its minions so they cant cast magic (which muddles that strat up). Ive heard the Banish trick doesnt work in the Pixel Remaster, so theres that.
Nice scene and all, but Cyan is STILL probably the worst character gameplay-wise.")
