Previously, the party finished collecting the game's hidden monster Summons for Rydia, and they showed off the game's summons. Now, they will confront Zemus and conclude the second playthrough.

Lunar Subterrane:

The party resumes in the save room on floor B7 in the Lunar Subterrane. After preparing, they go downstairs through floors B8-B11.

On floor B12, they finalize their ability setup. Then, they head north for some epic scenes that include Zemus, Golbez, and Fusoya.

After the epic scenes, it is ... not quite yet boss time. Cecil must use the Crystal to reveal Zeromus's true form.

Once Zeromus's true form is revealed, it is now boss time! He can still do a lot of damage, but with their preparations for the superbosses, the party can handle him without too much trouble. Especially Cecil with Limit Break, Focus, and Darkness.

For defeating Zeromus and clearing the game a second time, the player earns the Steam achievement "Earth's Savior Times Two". For clearing the game on Hard mode, the player earns the Steam achievement "Bitter Battle".

Final Scenes (time 17:24):

After the battle, the final scenes play. Just as good another time around. After the scene on the Moon, there are several scenes involving the past and current party members and other characters. They culminate with the final scene in Baron's throne room.

Credits (time 34:43):

After the scenes, the credits roll. With the recent update, we can now hear a song, "Tsuki no Akari" ("Theme of Love"), based on Rosa's theme. Hopefully, I don't have to cut it out to avoid a copyright claim.

The recent update is not bad. I think it helped with an occasional controller issue. Also, the game display now fills up the window, which is nice. You can also use a mouse now if you wish.

Post-game Save (time 41:42):

After the credits, the player can make a second post-completion save. One more playthrough is available in this playthrough chain. Unfortunately, this edition of the game does not provide a second Limit Break augment. Fortunately, it is not really needed, unless you really want to maximize every character's stats.

Unfortunately, I did miss the Steam achievement for completing the bestiary. However, I know where I messed up; I will have to defeat Dr. Lugae rather than Barnabas in the Tower of Babil. Still, it is entirely possible to get all Steam achievements in two playthroughs.

This concludes my second playthrough of Final Fantasy IV for PC. Next time, I will get started on the third and last playthrough in this chain.

Thanks for watching!
