What Ramuh is doing in the Cleft of Dimensions? I never bothered to get him in world one, and now he's suddenly showed up right outside Halycanos' Castle. It wasn't the first time I had gone though this section, I was doing some turbo levelling to try and get to level 99 (which I have now...yay) and he just randomly showed up like a normal encounter, but with boss music...

Explanation?

I would imagine it's some way to gain the Ramuh summon since you missed it earlier in the game. But I've always obtained Ramuh the first chance I get, so I don't know how you would go about obtaining him now.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Presumably, it's just a mistake in the enemy placement. It'd be weird if it were intentional, considering the game doesn't offer any means to get the rest of the missable summons.

[ThroneofDravaris]

I doubt it's international, this was a ROm version of the game...

...don't judge me, I also have the anthology version. But turbo leveling is the only far to go when it takes 100 hours to reach level 99...

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

It happens in every version of the game.

I doubt it's international, this was a ROm version of the game...
Intentional, not international. :)

[ThroneofDravaris]

Intentional =/= international

Damn…this is the second time this has happened. I have to start reading these things more closely…

[Flying Mullet]

Or you could just say that kishi edited his/your post to make you look the fool. :cool:

[eestlinc]

that's pretty cool, though. more fun fighting Ramuh there than those annoying ninja guys.

i reckon its a glitch but it might be intentional. if shiva or golem ranadomly turn up that proves its deliberate and meant to give you all missable summon monsters but i think its a glitch(did you get the summon when you beat him because if you didnt that might mean its just a random encounter.)

[eestlinc]

It's probably not a glitch in the game since it happens in all versions. More likely it's just an incorrectly set probability level for Ramuh or something.

[ThroneofDravaris]

(did you get the summon when you beat him because if you didnt that might mean its just a random encounter.)

Yep, I was able to use him afterwards, as if I had beaten him in the forest originally. He even gave the whole 'you have Ifrit?' speech...

[Flying Mullet]

Have you missed any other summons? I'm curious to see if they show up too now.

[ThroneofDravaris]

Just Hydra and one more of the earlier ones (the one that casts petrify).

I doubt Hydra will show up, but the other was some form of encounter if I remember correctly so...

Stoat?

[HunterFlamebrow]

I doubt any other summons will show up . . . When I played my copy of the Anthology game, I missed most of the summons levels 1-3. I never used summoners, so it wasn't a problem, but none of them showed up as random encounters in the Cleft of Dimensions . . . you'd think that I would have seen at least one if the game meant you to be able to encounter them.

[ThroneofDravaris]

Keep in mind though that this was in a specific section, and after about 60 hours (yay for turbo mode!) of non-stop random encounters that I fought him. The encounter rate is probably really low.

[Peter_20]

Ramuh probably showed up cuz he's harder to find compared to Shiva and Ifrit.

[Flying Mullet]

Maybe Ramuh has the hots for you?

[rubah]

Do you even encounter any other summons on the map like ramuh? You have to go and search out ifrit and shiva I know, but it's been a while since I've gotten any summons past these xD

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

The only other summon you find just hanging out on the world map is Catoblepas (Shoat). Golem is also found in a random battle, but it's on that mountain.

[eestlinc]

man, I can't post here anymore because Kishi keeps beating me to the punch with the relevant information.

[Spuuky]

My first ever post at EoFF was on this very subject.

Dearest Kishi had never heard of it happening at the time. I was lost.

I'm reasonably certain after much searching and deliberation that it is as others have said before me.

[rubah]

A note: in guido's cave, there's an old man called a metamorphasomething and one of the forms he can change into is Ramuh (seeing how he did it just now). I doubt it's the same thing, but I just thought I'd mentioned that it happened. He also turns into Shiva.

[Nasarian Altimeros]

Maybe Ramuh has the hots for you?

ToDxRamuh...I see a new fanfiction.. :love: :love:

[Crossblades]

Looks intentional
