Behind the scenes[]

FFLII Dolphin Field

The player can interact with the "Dolphin", which are shachihoko statues found on either side of Magnate on the roof. In doing so, the party will engage in battle with Dolphin. It is advisable to not fight it, as they have got thousands of HP and can use a group attack that will deal a lot of damage to the party.

Edo World has a single moon, as the party fights Magnate under the crescent moon atop of Edo Castle. The crescent moon in this scene is symbolic. The word crescent is derived etymologically from the present participle of the Latin verb crescere "to grow", thus meaning "waxing" or "increasing". Magnate is collecting MAGI to increase his own power, to become a true God. To do this, he has to defeat the party and claim their MAGI.
