FFIV Had "Best" Four Fiends?

[RedPouch]

I agree. I think that he would have been much more fierce looking if the difficulty of his fight was increased by a large amount.

This is probably true, however I really don't think he looked fierce to begin with. It's a big blue turtle thing that summons a puddle of water around him.



I think they should have selected some other monster for inspiration besides a turtle. Look at him. He looks almost... silly.

That said, I lean mostly towards the FF IV fiends, but not all.

Earth Fiend: Lich - He looked really cool, even in his old NES sprite design.

Fire Fiend: Rubicante - He was just a cool guy, and sometimes a villain that has a sense of honour, dignity, and grace with his power while showing a good level of intellect [while still being quite evil] is a refreshing change from the brazen, ferocious, rock-brain monster brutes [these make for great monsters, but there are an awful lot of them].

Wind Fiend: Valvalis/Barbariccia - She just looked cool, and I might be biased because I appreciate seeing women proving themselves in some way. Although Tiamat does indeed look very awesome, something about Valvalis wins me over [and for the record I'm gay, so it has nothing to do with the fact that she's almost naked ].

Water Fiend: Kraken - I think a killer octopus wins out against a turtle in terms of looking ferocious. Though I have to say that his NES sprite looked "meaner" than his GBA sprite somehow.
