Creator (Legend)

The Creator is the major character in The Final Fantasy Legend. He had originally created humanity, the Tower, Ashura, and is the mastermind behind all the events that plagued humanity from the very beginning.

Story
The party meets him several times throughout the course of the game in his mortal form, as he gives hints on how to break the seals on the doors. When the main characters meet him in Paradise, he congratulates them on their victory and reveals his role as the cause of the troubles plaguing humankind.

He describes how he believed humans didn't understand courage or determination and an so created Ashura to put that notion to the test and see how humanity would cope. Pleased with their success as the first to complete his "game", the Creator offers to grant the heroes a wish of their choosing, which is quickly refused by the main characters. He justifies that as the creator of the world he was allowed to do what he wished, but was vehemently insulted by them who refused to accept the Creator's evil and manipulative nature. Offended that he was willing to cause so much suffering in the worlds, the main characters proceeded to battle the arrogant god and after much effort, managed to destroy him and free the world from his manipulation.

Battle
The Creator can be easily defeated thanks to a bug, this bug cannot be used if the player raised their character's Strength to obscene levels.

The Creator has the passive ability Damage, making him resists elemental magic attacks. He also has Flare and Right at his disposal, both of these targets the entire party that deals damage. His last ability, Repent tries to confuses all party members.

Trivia

 * It is mentioned in the Final Fantasy XIII Ultimania that the bug involving the Creator and Saw was paid homage to in the final battle of Final Fantasy XIII, where the final boss is also susceptible to Instant Death.
 * In the North American version, the row of bookcases on the Tower's 20th floor featured a word of the sentence "Ashura is controlled by..." with the final word being unreadable. In the Japanese version, each bookcase featured a name, a date, and a floor number. This is made all the more eerie with the revelation at the end that the Creator is using the Tower and all who challenge it for his own amusement. To him, these are "high scores", a record of those who tried and failed. The main character's entry is still unwritten due to his journey is still in progress.
