Kain's dark side appears as one of the monsters that can be summoned by [[Mira]] after being purchased as downloadable content. He takes on his appearance from ''The After Years''. Kain is a melee summon with somewhat low attack; however, with his fast speed and cost of one slot on a tower floor, investing some NP to summon and max out the levels of an army of Kains makes for a very effective melee force.

Kain appears as a playable character. He is officially on the side of Cosmos, but works with [[Golbez/Dissidia|Golbez]] to help the Warriors of Cosmos survive to the next cycle of war by attacking and defeating them before the [[Manikin]]s do, as they will not be revived if beaten by the manikins. Kain defeats [[Bartz Klauser/Dissidia|Bartz]], [[Firion/Dissidia|Firion]], and [[Zidane Tribal/Dissidia|Zidane]], and he is implied to beat most of the other original Warriors of Cosmos, before [[Tifa Lockhart/Dissidia|Tifa]], whom he rescues from an encounter with [[Ultimecia/Dissidia|Ultimecia]], talks him into returning to the survivors and admitting what he's done. At this time, Kain accompanies them to the Lands of Discord, and the group sacrifices themselves to seal the portal the manikins are emerging from.

Kain is a standard character, also appearing as an early boss. He is automatically recruited as the First Time Reward for completing [[Mist Cave]] on the Classic difficulty track. He has also appeared in the [[Challenge Event]]s [[The Burning Blade]] and [[A Summoner Grown]], although many players may have received a Greater Growth Egg in his place. The only advantage to his recruitment in these events was a much earlier acquisition of his Memory Crystal.

Kain appears as a summonable [[vision]] and optional playable character.

Both are Rare Summons, their job is listed as [[Dragoon (job)|Dragoon]] and their role is Physical Damage. However, their stats and skillsets differ (with Atoning Dragoon Kain being a vast improvement over the original) as do their [[Trust Master]] rewards.

Template:Sideicon With Final Fantasy IV being one of the most respected titles in the series, Kain Highwind has made more than a dozen appearances across compilations, anthologies, and other works from Square Enix. The following is a list of Kain's many appearances.

Series appearances

Final Fantasy XIV

WindUpKainFFXIV

The Wind-up Kain minion can only be obtained by registering a Collectors Edition of the expansion pack Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord

Ffcc-mlaad monster kain

Kain's dark side appears as one of the monsters that can be summoned by Mira after being purchased as downloadable content. He takes on his appearance from The After Years. Kain is a melee summon with somewhat low attack; however, with his fast speed and cost of one slot on a tower floor, investing some NP to summon and max out the levels of an army of Kains makes for a very effective melee force.

Final Fantasy Dimensions II

Kain appears as a wind-elemental God-type summon.

Ffxiirw Shivan iconThis section about Summon magic in Final Fantasy Dimensions II is empty or needs to be expanded. You can help the Final Fantasy Wiki by expanding it.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy

Kain's artwork.

Kain appears as a playable character. He is officially on the side of Cosmos, but works with Golbez to help the Warriors of Cosmos survive to the next cycle of war by attacking and defeating them before the Manikins do, as they will not be revived if beaten by the manikins. Kain defeats Bartz, Firion, and Zidane, and he is implied to beat most of the other original Warriors of Cosmos, before Tifa, whom he rescues from an encounter with Ultimecia, talks him into returning to the survivors and admitting what he's done. At this time, Kain accompanies them to the Lands of Discord, and the group sacrifices themselves to seal the portal the manikins are emerging from.

Kain's first alternate outfit, Noir Dragoon, is based on Dark Kain, giving him dark blue and red armor, while his second alternate outfit, Light Seeker, is his "Hooded Man" attire, a blue and white robe with a brown cape.

Tetsuya Nomura stated prior to the announcement of Dissidia 012 that Kain was considered as a candidate to appear in the original Dissidia, either as a secret character or the antagonist representing Final Fantasy IV. He was ultimately excluded, but Tetsuya Nomura has said he personally wanted Kain in the game and that Kain would be in a sequel to the game if one were made.[1]

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

Theatrhythm Kain

Cecil's best friend and dearest rival. He feels deeply, but is ill-practiced in expressing that which he feels. Though he swears to stand by Cecil in his revolt against their unjust king, his heart is consumed by his secret love for Rosa and as a result of this weakness his conflicted mind is easily taken over by Golbez.

Online description

Kain appears as an unlockable character, and is obtained by collecting Navy Crystal Shards, from Dark Notes only.

Kain has the highest raw strength tied with Sephiroth, and possesses good agility which can be boosted further. Most of his abilities focus solely on power, so the player can safely prioritize Kain as a pure enemy crusher. As a downside, he lacks a Limit Break and his ability slots are limited.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call

Cecil's friend and rival since childhood and commander of the dragoons of Baron. He is controlled by the enemy and uses base betrayal to deliver the Crystals to his dark master, but he will atone before the end.

CollectaCard

Kain is an unlockable character, and is now obtained by collecting Turquoise Crystal Shards.

While Kain gains a number of defensive skills, his high Strength coupled with obtaining a Limit Break that synchs with his power ensures he's a still a force to be reckoned with. A major downside is that his Agility has been drastically reduced, and his Spirit is the weakest of all playable characters, making him vulnerable to magic-based enemies.
