Ceodore's Tale: The Last of the Red Wings


It starts the way it starts in the original FfIV. Ceodore is very nervous about being a knight, and Biggs and Wedge teach him about his training in Mythril. Despite his genetics of Cecil and Rosa, he still feels like it shouldn't associate it with him. Biggs is rather rough towards Ceodore, even physically, hitting him once for lack of discipline. Wedge is rather supporting.
You arrive in Mythril.
Biggs and Wedge introduce you to Moon Phases, in how it affects both monsters and you.
Full Moon, where Black Magic is boosted While Attack is decreased
Waning Moon, where Attack is Boosted and Abilities are decreased.
New Moon, where Abilities are boosted and White Magic is decreased.
Waxing Moon, where  White Magic is boosted and Black Magic is decreased.
The Moon's Phases change when you sleep in a tent, Cottage or inn, or 30 minutes of gameplay passes.
You are ordered to sleep in the Mythril inn, and once done, the Full Moon is in effect, to facilitate battle for you, especially from monsters attacks.
You go to the Adamant Isle Grotto, to start your training. You grab the chest treasure to continue from roughhouse but disciplinary and inoffensive Biggs. You are taught about Bands.
Bands are combo attacks done with one or more characters. Your turn appears and you press right and choose Bands. You have a list of Bands. Or you can make a new Band, choose Make Bands. For example, Biggs and Wedge choose attack, and press Band. Then, Vibra Edge is played. You bond with multiple characters. The effects can depend, from healing your allies to attacking all,etc. Be creative, but know who to band. Otherwise, IT WILL FAIL, UNLESS YOU MADE THE WRONG MOVES TO BAND, EVEN IF THEY ARE THE RIGHT CHARACTERS! As you cross the cave, Biggs and Wedge leave you to train on your own. At the end of the cave, a chest with the Knight's Emblem appear. You open it and you fight with a scripted battle of the Sand Worm. Once fought, it will play Whirlwind to put your HP to few digits. Then, Biggs and Wedge come to see Ceodore hurt, then Ceodore says he's got this Worm under control.
Then, we learns Awaken, and defeats the worm. Then, Biggs and Wedge join the party as Wedge congratulates your potential. As you leave, Biggs leaves you. Then go to the ship. As you leave to Baron, monsters spawn like crazy. You fight 2 Belphegors. Use Fira Thundara or Blizzara from Biggs to cause good damage. Heal when needed. Attack, and they die. Ceodore should be at LEVEL 13. IF LOWER, THAT'S FINE. 11-13 IS FINE. The scene changes to Cecil as King of Baron. You are under attack by monsters from inside the Castle. You go to the right tower to get a girl upstairs. Then, you cross the left tower to meet with Rosa and Cid and realize the Castle is invaded by the sky. Then, A MOON APPEARS. The Tower of Babil is activated, and the Eidolons are being captured by THE MYSTERIOUS GIRL, A WANNA BE RYDIA. One of them comes flying through Bahamut and attacks you. Then, the scene changes to Ceodore, as his airship is wrecked. Biggs protects him as he dies from the wreck. The soldiers died, making him the Last Red Wings to survive. He is ordered by Biggs to go to Mysidia. It gives history to how Ceodore is as confused and sad as Cecil was when he was a Dark Knight. Hence his roughousing. To make sure he doesn't repeat Ceodore becomes his shy self. You meet monsters alone, then You meet a new character who saves you from the monsters: THE HOODED MAN. Who is it? Elementary, my dear player. Who is known, besides Palom and Porom, to come from Mount Ordeals? It's not Cecil. Yes, the Hooded Man is ..... That's the man who shall not be named. He's like the Draco Malfoy to Harry Potter in this game.
Anyway, he says that he needs to go to Baron, and without a ship, he needs to go to Mysidia through the Devil's Road. That definitely raises suspicion to where this Man came from. Yes, Mount Ordeals. He doesn't have a ship or airship. Who is known to go to Mount Ordeals?
Anyway, You meet Porom. She offers you two Black and White Mage. The White Mage opens the door to travel the Devil's Road. This dungeon has a big improvement. You teleport to different parts of the dungeon. You must find the exit. Then, a save point, then Circle moves. It shouldn't take you long to solve. Once you exit, you arrive in Baron. Go to the Castle to realize the soldiers are acting weird. Just like the old Final Fantasy IV. So, you go to CIDs house to get the Baron Key. Talk to the woman. Then, open the door to the far left. This dungeon is needing Thundara. So, Thundara and heal your way to the cave. And pick up treasure. Then, you reach Baron. Then, Ceodore leaves and reveals to THE MAN that his parents is Cecil and Rosa. The Mages leave you because they need to bring news to the Elder.(I'll explain in Poroms Tale). You find that the soldiers are locked up and dead in a dungeon, The MAN realizes Ceodore is in Danger. You go to the throne, and realize Cecil has changed from Holy Paladin to strange as the Mysterious Girl. As he leaves, he meets up with Ceodore and leaves the Castle, and doesn't want him seeing his dad in a weird mood. They are kicked out, and that's where they learn CROSS SLASH BAND. IT CAN GIVE ABOUT 1000 DAMAGE TO ONE ENEMY. As you leave to Mist Cave, Cecil sends his soldiers to follow Ceodore and THE MAN. As they cross the Cave, aftershocks come, and Ceodore falls into one, and you climb your way to the cave. Be by Level 25 because the cause of the aftershocks is none other than Tunneler. He has 7,000 HP. Ceodore learns Float by Level 25. Because Tunneler uses Earthquake often and can hit pretty hard. Once he is down, you leave, and see that you're surrounded by soldiers, until Mist appears and covers them two. The soldiers leave. As they leave the cave off the hook, Ceodore asks the MAN why is he helping him? Then he says that he needs to kill a Dragoon named Kain. Then, you see Kain looking at Mount Ordeals. Onr question. If the MAN came from Mount Ordeals, and Kain is found there, then, Who IS the Mysterious Man, and did he encounter Kain? Why did he abandon his name? As Kain being the center stage of this Tale, only you can connect the dots.
In the Waning Moon, Thunder Dragon appears in Mist Cave. He is tough, so pretend he is like a SuperBoss. YOU SHOULD GET A BLUE TAIL. KEEP IT. IT WILL BE VEEERY USEFUL LATER.
Challenge Dungeon.
Recommended Level is 30, because the Monsters are cruel. From Steel Golems that put you to sleep, to Seducing Lamias, or impregnable Flans, to the Boss, Adamant Golem. Thank God for Cross Slash. But, Good training is my vice.
He has 8,700 H.P.
He attacks, and gets closer and his attacks are tougher until he gets close and stops for a few moves. Heal when needed, Spider Silk and Attack like crazy. Then, repeat the Dungeon to get all the goodly items. By the time you get all, Ceodore should be in Level 40, because, he learns Blink, which is really helpful against this giant.
