Then they attack Orphan again, and again one must ask: hey, wait, didn't they come to save Orphan? But by this time they've seen that Orphan is even more twisted and dangerous than Barthandalus. Once it is destroyed, Cocoon loses power and drops from the sky. Once it is destroyed, the "baby" Orphan is freed from the trinity. I therefore take it that this three-part being is really Eden/Menrva, Orphan-the-child, and Barthandalus. It calls itself "Orphan," referring to itself in the plural. During the final boss battles, after Menrva fuses with Barthandalus, a new boss named Orphan rises from the pool, but it's really a three-part boss made of three beings fused together: a woman's face (which looks like Menrva's), the sun-disk face of Orphan cradled in her arms, and Barthandalus sticking out the right side. If they can transform into Ragnarok and destroy Orphan, Cocoon's demise will be assured."Ĭomments: Orphan is stuck its its own pocket dimension, "Orphan's Cradle," where it powers all of Cocoon. Nevertheless, its death is what Barthandelus desires, for he seeks to offer the lives of the world's millions of inhabitants in sacrifice to call the vanished Maker back to this realm.Īs Sanctum fal'Cie and l'Cie are themselves incapable of harming Orphan, Barthandelus requires the assistance of Pulse l'Cie. "ORPHAN: This mysterious being fuels the fal'Cie Eden with the power necessary to maintain Cocoon's complex operational systems, and as such, its death would bring about Cocoon's certain destruction. Orphan is depicted symbolically as their "child," one which can only be born from its "womb" ("Orphan's Cradle") by killing them. To most of Cocoon, Barthandalus pretends to be Eden's human liaison, Primarch Galenth Dysley, but in fact Cocoon is ruled a duumvirate of two Fal'Cie. The game never states it, but I think that Menrva, Barthandalus' owl-assistant which has what appears to be Eden's face with Orphan's face on its breast, may actually be Eden in disguise. Presiding over the Sanctum's otherwise human administration, the fal'Cie is known to issue orders to the Primarch and step in to correct political gaffes on occasion.Īs the sole operational nexus linking untold numbers of fal'Cie, it is not unthinkable that the loss of Eden could spell the end of Cocoon itself."Ĭomments: Eden is confusing because it's both the city and a fal'Cie, the strange triple fal'Cie that directs the party through Orphan's cradle (the cracktastic red landscape with all the platforms whizzing around). While Cocoon's other fal'Cie do not communicate with humans, Eden does. "EDEN: The namesake of Cocoon's capital, this fal'Cie directs the others of its kind who support the world's day-to-day existence. Hope had Curaja.Įven before Orphan was staggered, I sometimes hit it with Relentless Assault, because the chain gauge built faster. Switch to MED/MED/SYN (Convalescence, Fang = SYN) every time the boss started to drop some godawful move on us with red letters.Switch to RAV/RAV/COM (Relentless Assault) to pound boss.If baddie didn't yet have Deshell/Imperil/Deprotect once the party was buffed, switch to SAB/SAB/SAB (Infiltration).Start the battle with Lightning SAB and the other two SYN (Superiority) to debuff the baddie (Imperil, Deshell, and Deprotect) and buff everyone as much as possible.

I gave Hope a Diamond Bangle and maxed-out Ribbon to protect him plus the Weirding Glyph, piled my best Sorcerer and Shaman Marks on Lightning to boost her magic, and piled my best strength-maxing accessories onto Fang.
