- #240 Zeromus (2)
Level: 96, HP: 65498, MP: 4093
Drop/Steal: Dark Matter (steals consist of the most common drop item; if the fight were programmed to have him actually drop something afterward, it would probably be a common or uncommon drop)
Strength: 174, Defense: 3
Magic: 39, Magic Def: 38
Vulnerable to: Slow, Sap
DS: • Final Fantasy IV - Zer...
NOTES
*Counters all magic with Flare.
*Dark Matter is useless; don't bother with it unless you're an obsessive collector or something. I don't know if it was intended to have any effect at all; if it did, it was dummied out of the final version. No, it does NOT reduce Big Bang's damage. If you're playing the DS version, it grants access to the superboss Proto-Babil on a New Game Plus.
*Lunar Ruins trials open depending on the party setup at time of successful defeat; this requires going through the battle and ending sequence at least twice. You only need one of the twins to open theirs, though both must be in the party to actually undertake it. Incidentally, my Zeromus-bashing parties: Cecil/Rosa/Kain/Rydia/Edge (the original, and the canonical setup as per The After Years), Cecil/Porom/Yang/Edward/Cid.
I need to check if there's some AI oddity going on or if I encountered a glitch...this doesn't seem to match with the SNES datadumps I have. He should heal up once around 9:27, but doesn't; perhaps the trigger condition is between 12k-16k, instead of simply below 16k as indicated by the script?
3:09 - Meteor is holy-elemental; they probably gave blue-spaghetti Zeromus holy-absorption property.
God all the PSP animations and sprites are so fucking gorgeous, I'm forever depressed knowing 5 and 6 will NEVER receive this treatment
Agreed! I wish they did….
But FF6 still looks gorgeous even by this standard.
It sucks 3 never got the psp treatment as well.
This looks so much more appealing than the 3D remake
Yep. The 3d remake had a nice augment system but the PSP version is still the best
@Alex Kalinin me
@@antoniorand1833 guess you're that one in a million that prefers the low poly 3d models from a DS game over the finely crafted 2d sprites.
@Alex Kalinin me
@@antoniorand1833 Same, Played GBA 6 and 5, Was kinda sick of the sprites. So I played the android version of 4. Nice change of pace. Currently playing android version of 3.
It's so rote and cheesy now, but anyone too young to remember has no idea how MINDBLOWING all this DRAMA was in an RPG story back in the early 90s. Before that, most RPGs didn't even have a plot (Dragon Warrior), or if they did certainly not with any kind of cinematic presentation (Ultima), and definitely not with music close to being this good (the SNES Final Fantasy music still to this day sounds better than 90% of all Square music since).
It's kind of like how the word "cutscene" didn't even exist until Ninja Gaiden in 1989. It didn't matter how dumb the story was, just seeing an actual plot was mind blowing.
This is absolutely true. I watch vids like this from time to time and just reflect on my childhood seeing this awesome stuff unfold...
The term "cutscene" was first used in 1987 for the Maniac Mansion title, actually. But you're right on every other account.
I think DQ4 had a better story than FF4, and DQ4 came out a year earlier.
Phantasy Star for the Master System is an early innovator, with its Genesis sequel PSII released before FFIV having quite an interesting storyline.
@DeadMemes NeedToStayDead what arguments do you have other than " its gud bc I sed so"?
this version looks so nice
Yah.
So smooth and clean.
It looks so 4K
Ultra High Definition
But the music sounds crap.
I’d love to see these crisp graphics, the 3D character battle animations, and the original game’s music.
Or a Trials of Mana overhaul for the 30th anniversary.
I always love it when the main theme plays against the final boss in a JRPG.
This version (and the GBA port it was based on) managed to also show even spoony bards can kick major ass when set up right.
*zeromus casts flare*
no u! *rydia casts flare*
nu u! *zeromus casts flare*
Man why ff6 don't have 2d remastered like this
Isn't there a remaster like this on Steam?
@@research_winter there is but it sucks, its nothing like this
MatrixSoft that's why.
We were supposed to get a 3DS remake, but it never happened.
We're finally getting a solid remake of it soon
Zeromus has "Big Bang", that means he's capable of creating universes.
Semi big bang ya know
Not totally makin' a universe
@@decastar3010 It's debatable since the name of the attack is literally big bang wich implies that Zeromus casts a big bang in the party
I also wouldn't be suprised if it was an actual big bang because we've seen characters like Ultimecia and Exdeath do way more impressive feats of multiversal size
@@marilenede.paula.martinsma4211 (๏_๏)
...sarcastic
@DeadMemes NeedToStayDead That can be what Zeromus is probrably doing,he created a pocket dimension because the scenario were you fight him is completely diferent from when you fight him in his normal form
Man, the sprite work in the 2D PSP Final Fantasy games was fantastic. Such a shame they didn't do something similar for the Steam versions, instead just porting the shitty mobile ones.
I love how they combined the DS music with more appealing sprite based graphics.
That time when Hold actually kinda does something against a boss.
Always made me giggle how in the original SNES version it didn't even work, but was still part of the script 😂
so much better than the pixel remaster
Best remake of this, IMHO.
Man... Meteor animation is so badass, it makes PSP lag. Truly a spell of legends...
5 year old Palom can learn it. LET IT SINK IN!!!
Ff4 the only games where 5 years old twins are allowed tp leave Mysidia for save the world 😂😂
And after years the only games when an random NPC in the ending of ff4 become a playable character
I give you : Leonora !! Or like i like to nickname her : Dont worry, im scaling 😂
a little tip that can help, use edge's steal ability to grab dark matter before using the crystal. Stealing the dark matter will weaken the big bang by 20%
thanks
It amazes me when people fail to read the description...
Oh wow. That is a neat secret.
Whats interesting is that this boss has 3 phases like a lot of FF bosses. But you only deal with 1, which is great.
We had the Cloud of Darkness in the Crystal Tower raids.
We had Exdeath and Kefka in the Omega raids.
We had Ultima and the Lucavi in the Ivalice raids.
Here's hoping we get Zeromus in the Endwalker raids!
This may be the case seeing how a certain individual is in a cutscene sitting with all four crystals. If we get it, I am sure it will be a legendary encounter
Not raids now but wish granted for an appearance
Well, you can fight Zeromus in a trial instead!
@@crowdemon_archives And Soken - being an absolute fucking LEGEND - got me killed more times than I'd care to admit because I was too focused on the kickass remix of Zeromus' theme.
Cast Meteor! PSP explodes in your hands
Good god, that Bahamut summoning animation never gets old.
Is it me or does the background change direction every he uses Big Bang? And not just in this version, but also the SNES/PS and GBA versions.
Yep, it's a visual effect from the spell.
Big Bang has always done that from the SNES version to the latest one.
Even though I love the new Pixel Remastered on Steam, I still greatly prefer the PSP here.
The graphics, the animations, the bonus dungeons and more. It really feels like the ultimate way to play it.
The Pixel Remastered lacks a ton of the later features.
As someone who has played the Pixel Remaster, I can say that its in-game music is incredible. It does need the extra dungeons and stuff in the PSP version, though...
My fave version of ff4 and fave ff game of all time. I remember playing ff2 on the snes and being completely emersed in the first 20 minutes. It was not hard but was harder than the few other rpgs I played up untill then. like Breath of Fire 1+2 and Dragon Warrior. Zeromus was crazy !!!
Zeromas has one of the most confusing enemy sprites to look at, what is it suppose to be?
In the ds version he's huge we're just seeing a small pice of him in this version
Evil
Neo exdeath is weirder than this one i think
@@oriondancer I don't agree, Neo Ex-Death is an amalgamation of all of the evil spirits that were sealed in the tree and that's what the enemy spirit looked like.
I get that Zeromas is suppose to be the guys hatred but you would not be able to tell that from looking at the sprite work. The proportions and angles are all wrong like it's the work of a person that has never drawn before, basically it looks like something I might have come up with.
Its a bypedal bug but with pronounced flesh and no exo skeleton. It is evil incarnate, as a metaphysical entity actually turned physical. Hence, the control over space (big bang, meteor, supernova and bringing you to another dimension). As you see, he is spectral and only turns physical when the crystal is used on him. That's my interpretation.
Golbez looks awesome in this version!!!
I wish FFV and VI got the psp treatment like IV did.
Holy shit SE really went to town on using as many audio library effects they could find
Never played FF IV. But it seems to be awesome. Wish Square Enix would still make FF games like this one -.-
Timmy Menard
Hmm interesting... thanks for that insight!
+Timmy Menard A bit random, but whatever.
I liked Edge.
What are you all talking about. Every final fantasy has been good. Not story wise but more FF even they changed styles, the one thing I want is a fan demake of games like FF7 and now to look like this style.
I don't care if the story is weak as long there's character development, exploring dungeons,fighting super bosses, filling up the beastiery of each every enemies defeated and viewing it (the only reason why I play a final fantasy game is to complete the beastiery while listening to the great soundtrack.)
@@medianxx4687 They peaked with 7. 8 Was awful and I never played another one after that.
FF9 was incredible frfr
This deserve to be on the switch
Consider how terrifying this guy actually is, when you think about it: He's literally an alien who sought to conquer the world by wiping out all life, and his hatred for all other living things, your party especially, is powerful enough to not only remain after his death, but attain sapience and literally try to kill you all over again.
I dunno man Exdeath was going to wipe out all existence including himself. Same with Ultimecia.
The only final fantasy with 2d and 3d at same time
10 month fast forward now available in both pc and mobile XD
@@hasinhalim8280 graphics and additional content maybe gone but i cant wait for remixed music
@@makhyusnimakhyusni401 yeah the music is fucking banger dude
I remember showing this fight to a family member a long time ago and she described it as an "alien space turd".
I might start using that descriptor more, it's a good summary of most FF final bosses look like.
I know it should be expected since Zeromus is the final boss, but Zeromus was actually TERRIFYING on the PSP.
Bro he been kicking me ass and team level avg is 60. And I'm playing on the fastest speed.
Why does Edge dab when he gets hit?
Yuuni because he’s got that mad ninja swag
Is this just for the PSP or playstation console as well?
I was watching Zapper101's longplay of Final Fantasy IV (PSP), but unfortunately is was discontinued right at the battle with Leviathan at the Feymarch. At least now, i finally get to see how the final battle gets done.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THE SOUND DESIGN ON BIG BANG
Never really played my psp with headphones in so hearing it on AirPods makes me feel like the world is ending
Fun fact: final fantasy 4 has the longest story of all final fantasy
Mmmmmh not sure, i made to the moon in 8 hour ^^
But with after years, ff4 have one of the biggest lore, and the record of the biggest party ever
This is the definitive version of the game, imo. I didn't care much for the 3D ds version, or even the original SNES version...but this version was fantastic and turned FF4 into one of my favorites in the franchise right up there along with 6, 7 and 9.
I really hope they remaster Final Fantasy 6 in the same way they did this game. It certainly deserves that much and would be a lot better than the awful mobile port they did.
Amen. A FF6 remake would be amazing
omg animacion nivel dios omnipotente
@Chevitile it's a really good game :) you should buy it sometime, or find a ROM of the SNES/GBA/DS version somewhere. Twenty years old and it still holds up; it created, or at least popularised, a lot of JPRG so-called "clichés" that so many take for granted now.
So all I have to do is jump whenever Zeromus shakes to keep K from being hit by Big Bang?
Most likely you also seem to know what to equip in terms of helping everyone work best at their own abilities. Wasn't until an LP of this that I actually SAW that it wasn't the best idea to pay attention to what stats the equip screen shows.
@Chevitile for the bow-and-arrow wielding characters (such as Rosa, although she has a staff equipped because it helps with her magic and generally shouldn't be physically attacking in boss battles anyway), it affects the amount of damage they can inflict with the weapon. Arrows go in the dominant hand, and bows in the recessive; going the opposite way reduces its effectiveness to 80%.
did they fix the big bang issue in later releases? i remember that each time he uses it, it hits harder and harder each time. first time he used it, only 1000 or so damage, second time he used it, 3000 damage, 3rd time, around 5000.
Entonces, aunque logré quitarle la materia obscura a Zeromus, este item no apareció en mi inventario, ni durante el combate ni después de el, ¿no puedo acceder a un encuentro con proto-Babil ni con Gerion?; estoy jugando en la versión de PSP. ¿No existen otros jefes opcionales en el juego?
Si, Zeromus EG
Dude,WTF why you no let us READ???
Replaying this version right now and I have to say that the later half of the game can be VERY hard for the unprepared which is pretty refreshing (I remember this game being too easy but boy was I wrong). I really like the difficulty of this title in general - not the 3DS version tho, that one is a pure grind-fest.
FF4 is not terribly difficult. After Years and especially the Interlude sections can kick RPG hardcore players' butts if they aren't paying attention. I remember winning many boss fights and especially the last fight by the complete skin of my teeth.
You want to play ff4 in hard mode
? Dont farm exp, flee all fights and doonly the bosses ;) I do a first try on the gba version ( i made to the final dungeon at lvl 37 but had to farm until lvl 55 and use rosa and porom to defeat zeromus ) and i will try on the complete collection
6:06 Zeromus true form D: but i dont wanna die WELL TO BAD
I wanna pitition to rename bahamuts megaflare to baha blast
This version is what the PS1 version of FF4 should have been!
*These are the real battles in games*
This is the 5th hardest final fantasy boss based on weakness to how powerful
Damn and it only took me a month straight almost to beat it i have more difficulty with zodiac age ff12
Nah, I can easily name multiple FF bosses just in the main story that are harder than Zeromus.
- Seymour Flux (FFX): He zombifies your characters and then kills them with Full Life in the same turn. He also has a Total Annihilation attack that easily wipes any underlevelled party. Your only option is to take him out before he uses it.
- Barthandelus (FFXIII): You fight him 3 times in the main story, but the first fight is arguably the hardest, since your options for party builds are severely limited at this point in the game. In this fight, the big dude is protected by four little armor minions that constantly cast elemental spells that grow stronger over time. You have to kill them while healing a bunch, and only after all four are gone can you hurt Barthandelus himself. He has multiple AOE attacks which hurt a lot, but the biggest offender is Destrudo. If you don't know how to deal with it, you're dead.
- Bahamut/Mysterious Girl (FFIV: The After Years): Bahamut here is the same as in the first game, but the Mysterious Girl complicates things tremendously. She opens the fight with Meteor and will use Black Hole immediately before Bahamut follows up with Mega Flare, so basically you need to have a party strong enough to withstand, and recover from, both attacks at full power. Your main target is Bahamut, of course.
- Orphan (FFXIII): This dude has a giant sword attack that blows away 99% of your current HP and you can't switch paradigms in response to it. If you have Deprotect or Poison when this lands, it's game over. Plus, he can instantly kill your party leader with Progenitorial Wrath, which equals an instant game over as well. Good luck taking him down.
what i dont like about big bang on this version is they stripped the sap effect from it
How can I play this on my android?
I faced Zeromus at level 45 and managed to win... O_o Those gold and silver apples are very useful...
Screenshot or it's just another youtube comment
@@jedcauffield1858 Mid to low 40's is entirely possible. Just takes long. Anything above probably 60 is over kill
Nah, lvl 50 is a bit intimidating
@@TragGaming I did it with an average party level of 42 and barely won. Totally possible. I was actually stunned I succeeded. Was convinced I'd have to level more.
what version of the game is this? I've never seen it.
PSP
Has anyone ever attempted with a different party? I faced it with Yang/Cid/Palom/Porom twice. Results were just fine. 1st attempt: Berserk'd Yang and the thing went down faster than I expected, although it used Black Hole to negate it (brushed off with Focus). 2nd attempt: Berserk'd Cid and won in great style with Palom's Flare after he was KO'd by a Big Bang. After those attempts I plan on taking Creator down with Leonora + the new 4 instead of Rosa + the new 4 (the standard party).
Yes. I faced it with Yang, Cid, Edward, and Edge/Kain(I intend to finish Zeromus without any mages) and I won almost perfect and even without a white mage or using Elixir or Megalixir(I used Hi-Potions around 4-8 times, I guess), however, all of them already had their best weapons, Godhand/Hand of the Gods, Flare Sledgehammer/Fiery Hammer, Loki's Lute, Abel's Lance/Mutsunokami and Sasuke's Katana.
I try to do a low level challenge after a test run on the GBA version i will attempt a run on PSP and i plan to use Cecil Kain the Twins and Rosa ;)
My party was Edge/palom/Cecil/rydia/yang if i remember correctly
Does right-handed/left-handed make a difference?
I always thought FuSoYa looked funny for his KO sprite. Like if Cousin It went bald on top.
30 years later and I'm still bewildered by this design. Where, exactly, is his face? Are all those blue things eyes? What's up with those rib-like things? Is that a penis?
He's a mutated lobster. Or something like that. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
What's the name of the song fron 4:25?
I guess you find it when you search for "Final Fantasy IV Main theme" since it is the classic Main theme we hear in every FF game
is blood sword still game-breaking?
You mean the vampic sword, not really. It could be a life saver against normal enemies but it could kill you if used against the undead.
oh so the only reason i never got protoBabil is because i never use steal command even though thats always a thing for boss's in final fantasy's
Wow, I honestly don't know whose design scares me more: Zeromus or Neo Exdeath
Zeromus just looks like an endoskeletal alien hellspawn, which is disturbing enough, but Neo Exdeath is literally a massive deformed conglomerate abomination. Just imagine for a minute if Zemus and Exdeath fucked and had some sort of demonic love child. Now THAT'S the stuff of nightmares
Was hope for kain to get stuck in the air after battle
@Shadow12000 The PAL version (Europe) fixes most of those bugs, from what I've heard. Not ALL of them, but it's better than the NA version, at least. I suggested it because no PSP emulator I know of can play this.
awesome, I love It!
I can tell the music was performed live
Obviously. Have you played FF2 on the psp?
Died 7 times with zeromus!!! Yes I counted my death.
If dat dare to do anything similar to the crystal scene in Endwalker i'll shit myself then cry my eyes out.
Zeromus looks like the state of Wisconsin
me acabo de pasar el de GBA hace una media hora, ha sido ver esto y pasar del after years para volverlo a jugar éste en la psp hahahaha
@AquaRing Wow, you sure know a lot about this game! But I guess that's how it is when you really like a game.
6:45 RYDIA USE THE MIST DRAGO- oh never mind
On the PS1 version, I remember I couldn't beat him until a higher level either. What was it, like 60? Much harder than on SNES.
PS1 is the SNES but with longer loading times and better translation.
And also it's based on the 1st JPN edition (the one dubbed "hard type"), hence why the game is harder than the USA SNES version overall.
The webcomic Grrl Power brought me here😎
I didn't finished the GBA version but this is the only version I beat FF4 with my PSP.
Psp have the same content than the gba version ;) the only new content is the option to use triangle to switch between character, super useful when your white mage turn arrive and no damage to heal ^^
The graphics are so nice in this version, but I keep the original soundtrack on
It's hard to improve upon perfection.
Original soundtrack for me, too.
First the king has to be the villain, but then it turns out it's all Golbez's fault, then it turns out this Zemus guy is the true villain, then there suddenly needs to be a Zeromus to be the final boss? And this game predates Persona 4 Golden by over 20 years?
I wish this version of FF4 was on steam.
Not its the Ds version on steam 🥺🥺
It seems the developer add some HP to Zeromus,if you try to fight it again in EX game.
Edge died in this EX battle,o O
Game's best version.
Agree
i was a little over 50 and managed to kill him, albeit i had cid replace kain, even though it didn't make that big of a difference. the only thing you need to make sure of is that your healer can survive big bang, and it doesn't hurt if most of the party can as well. needless to say rydia was dead throughout my entire fight, and it dragged on for about 30 minutes.
Throw the excalibur = 8000 dgm
Throw the Ragnarcok = 9999 dgm
Row after row of TV screens. PLD, DRG, WHM/RNG, SMN, NIN. Think about it.
Zeromus is saying it is stupid ("dark") to believe a meteor would hit through to the core.
(A heavily armored PLD with ability to self heal and cover /A heavily armored dragon knight with "Jump" aka instant meditate / An overpowered Summoner [who uses pets] and magic / A healing wizard who shoots arrows from far away / A dual Ninja with blink magic who throws from far away)
The Best
5:50 Shit.goes.down
Did we all use the same party? Lmao
Rip audífonos
Cecil
know the things you gotta do, its just masterclas if you can deal it with a low lvl char, i probably would lvl around 65-75 because i would break my neck xD
K bidios mas chingones mas k son de final fantasy iv pero de biste entrenarlos mas
FFIV Remake, pleaseee SQUARE ENIX
Edge is like Sonic Wings players, xD.
I don't see how you defeated zeromus at such a low level, I grinded to level 75 and think it'll be much easier to defeat him.
You have a chance against him at level 50, he is much easier with two white mage and little tip i learn recently, if you use Flare on him after he shakes, his next big bang willbe nerfed ^^
Rydia от любого удара сдохнет . _.
FF4 is top notch.
Rydia
