Was Kain going to jump??? //SPOILERS HERE

[darksword12]

lol xD... yes... the hair catches the eye because u see him with the helmet all the game... i wonder how sweated was him when he took off his helmet being all that time with the helmet on...

And it's pretty clear in the text that he wants to improve himself which rules out suicide, however you look at it. No idea how anyone could get that impression.

Nah... i know that he says clearly he want to become a better dragon... but that was my first impression, when i first saw the image of him there...

Anyway, i would like a little bit of drama at the end of the story... i don't like the cliché "everyone is happy" endings

"Everyone is happy?" Kain's going off on a training journey and Tellah's dead (and Anna, but that's off topic). FuSoYa, who was really cool, and Golbez, Cecil's brother, are going away for a gajillion years in the second moon. Of course the endings happy, but there's still a twist in it. That's plenty of drama, IMO.

But anyways, Square want to "paint it" like everyone is happy...
U can get it by the music they put, the scenes when the world is peaceful, the wedding and coronation of the king and queen of Baron, and all that...
On everygame they try to put things like everyone is happy at the end...
(Anyways, i love Square, don't take me by the wrong side)...

Maybe i should put: Everyone is happy in spite of all the bad things that destiny brought...
And that is more cliché...

I was thinkin that Kain went there because his mind was taken over by Zemus and stuff, which made him betray his friends (Cecil) and that he thought he was bad and had a darkness in him. So then he went to Mt. Ordeals to become a true dragoon again so everyone wouldnt hate him when he went back to Baron.

Or something like that....

[Zeromus]

Maybe... he went there cuz Zeromus was still alive and took his mind again!!! o_O!!! ...so he there would plain his evil plan to revenge Cecil and domain the world!...
Oh... we can now wait stupidly the second part of Final Fantasy IV in stores soon!...

¬¬'...
Lol... sorry... just wanted to write it... just thinking of why he chose the mountain...

Anyways, that thing about the place where Cecil becomes a Paladin is a good thought about the reason why Kain chooses this place:

My impression from the game was that he went to Mt. Ordeals for the same reason Cecil did. Not to fight random encounters until he leveled up more, but to overcome something dark within himself.

But i think he has no bussiness there... cuz there are no more Meteo to uncover (and besides, he doesn't use black magic), and the are no more lights with father voices to make u forget ur dark past and be a paladin (and besides, he don't wanna be a paladin)...

then what could he find there that could make him a better dragoon but just some forgoten low level monsters???
What do u think he could find on the mountain???
What could a dragon find in Mt.Ordeals???
I know is a non physical thing maybe, but anyways! i still don't get it... there are lots of better places...! the only thing i think is better in that place than in other places for a dragon, is the height...

[Takara]

Mt. Ordeal is to the people of FFIV what Mecca represents to musulmans. It's a spiritual place. Just because there is no longer any Meteo to unlock or light on top of the mountain to turn their half-lunarian sons into paladins doesn't mean people won't attempt to climb to the summit in the hope that accomplishing the task will help them become better persons.

Am I making any sense here or are the painkillers making me babble?

[Zeromus]

Yeah... I like that argument!
that maybe gives me some tranquility... =P

But i don't like that mountain xD... there is no forest and no waterfalls with strange forms and no legendary caves, no national reserves, no exotic plants and no animals in extinction danger... =/ ...
What a strange mountain!... it's really hides something...

Lol xD...
