Final Fantasy IV[]

Whisperweed given ffiv ios

Edward gives the Whisperweed to the party.

The Whisperweed, called "Twin Harp" in all official translations prior to the 3D remake, is given to Cecil Harvey by Edward at Troia Castle when the party finds Edward sick in one of the rooms.

When trying to save the Earth Crystal from the Dark Elf, the latter puts up a magnetic field so that swords and other metal weapons cannot be used. When the party meets the Dark Elf, he easily eliminates the party, but the power of the Whisperweed sends music from the harp Edward is playing. This upsets the Dark Elf and ruins his concentration so that he can no longer maintain his magnetic field, allowing Cecil and the party to use their metallic weapons and armor again.

After defeating the Dark Elf, Edward says he was playing an old elven song that was said to greatly upset dark elves. However, in the 3D version, Edward says it was a song he had learned on his travels to ward off evil.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years[]

TAY IOS Whisperweed True Moon

The party contacts Damcyan through the Whisperweed.

Edward has a piece of whisperweed hidden in Baron Castle to eavesdrop on Cecil. He also uses whisperweed to stay in contact with the people of Damcyan while aboard the Lunar Whale, until they fly out of the plant's range of transmission.

Much to Edward's surprise, it begins to work again as they reach the Depths of the True Moon, and discover that the moon is moving in closer to the Earth.

Whisperweed is also a dummied out key item, accessible only via hacking.

When the Warrior of Light returns to the First to gain Light to send to the the Thirteenth to pierce Zeromus's shield, Lyna provides them with a whisperweed before they head to Amh Araeng to place aether transmitters, and contacts them via it once all are in place to transmit the Light from the Empty to the Thirteenth unto Zeromus's shield.

Final Fantasy Tactics[]

Whisperweed is not an item, but is mentioned in the "Whisperweed Blossom" errand:

The labyrinthine cave on the outskirts of Warjilis led to a vast underground lake. We sensed we were being watched as we stared across the water, and turned to see a pack of red mousses ready to pounce. After overcoming our foes, we saw an astonishing sight: the blossom of whisperweed, a plant that blooms only once in several millennia. Could the monsters have been protecting it?
