Description My rendition of Exdeath's true form, the main villain in FFV...

Info:
In the Moore forest, there was a tree where countless of evil creatures were sealed inside it. 30 years ago the tree finally merged everything inside it and formed a singular consciousness. Thus Exdeath was born.

Exdeath: If your dog pees on me, I will kill you and your little dog too!

I have a question that may start a war, but who's the better evil plant? Exdeath or Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors?

Exdeath is the embodiment of countless evil spirits. A tree once used to seal away evil, became the biggest threat of evil.

Ironic!

Exdeath is so powerful he can unseal himself.

I think this suits him better just like in the original...and a bit better from the other tree monster (who suddenly became Necron) from Final Fantasy IX.

When I was replaying through FFV (four years later, I was 13 the 1st time) I kinda understand Exdeath's reasoning for being so pissed at humans. I mean, it's much like today. We rape and scar the planet without even thinking twice about it, and it can't even fight back...compare this to how the humans in FFV sealed the demons (including Enuo) in the Forest of Moore. I'm pretty sure if our planet could fight back, it'd be kinda pissed as well.

Exdeath is evil incarnate. That's why I like him so much. Its the humans fault that they sealed countless demons in a single tree. They didnt perceived that the sealed creatures would merge and become a single sentient being.

I truly love this picture not only because Exdeath is my favorite FF villain, but the fact that this picture is the only one I've seen thus far shows the true nature of the embodiment that is known as Exdeath. If I saw you, I would shake your hand for 5 minutes straight...

I'm glad that you like FFV. This game is very underrated just because it wasnt released in the west during SNES golden age. However in japan, the Famitsu readers voted this #15 best game of all time...

What I like about Exdeath is his music theme and cool armor. Battle-mage. FTW!!!

I remembered when I first defeated him in the last stages I was like, "phew I'm glad its over," then suddenly..."I am Neo-Exdeath!!! All memories... dimensions... existence... All that there is shall be returned to nothing. Then I, too, can disappear...Forever!!!" I said, "Whoah WTF?! then I got owned. *sigh Those were the good o'le days....

Yep I even defeated Neo Shinryu and Omega MK II on my first try. I was dealing 7000-9999 damage using rapidfire which means X 4 = over 15K worth of damage!!! they should've put a sort of limit to physical attacks IMO.

The hardest FF boss for me would be Yiazmat. I fought him for like 4 hours straight and still havent killed him. He has over 50 million hp I think.

Wicked! In every sense. Exdeath, despite lacking a creative name, had one of the more interesting origins for a FF-villain.

grandchaosSR In reply to MiyaYoshi [2008-04-10 02:18:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the comment

There are some theories regarding his origin

1. The moore forest acts as a sponge for evil/hate and a certain tree got too much of it that it became sentient
2. Exdeath is a fragment of a powerful warlock called Enuo that terrorized the world 100 years ago. The tree could've been used to bury Enuo's remains when he was defeated or Enuo himself must've left some part of himself inside the tree. This theory can explain why Exdeath is so all-knowing.
3. Exdeath is the sum of all evil creatures sealed inside a tree.

I wish Squeenix would make FFV DS version

it has a feeling of a swamp from the mist like in a deep, deep part of a forest. it is really amazing how you've incorporated all the forms into a single entity. in some areas they look like they are trying to break free yet others seem to embrase it with ex-death at the center of it all simply waiting until he is whole!

grandchaosSR In reply to DodgingTires [2008-02-25 01:48:18 +0000 UTC]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Since he is composed of multiple creatures, it must've took some time for them to form into a simgle entity. But what really gave me the idea is his tree sprite in the game. If you look closely there are some skull-like faces in some parts of his body and I just added a bit more in my deviation.

Very creative work,although the fog/mist/ectoplasm is a nice touch,it kind of washes out the image. If possible put it in the background and just add a little in the very bottom of the front of the roots.

Neat. He has so many different forms i've lost count, but the knight is easily my fave. I hope they put him in that FF fighting game coming out for the psp.

grandchaosSR In reply to Cutmanmike [2008-01-22 02:06:16 +0000 UTC]

Yes I hope so but there is a big chance that he wont be in it. People today prefer the Sephiroth-looking kinda villains. I prefer the old ones like Exdeath or Kefka...

Cutmanmike In reply to grandchaosSR [2008-01-22 10:37:21 +0000 UTC]

Well i'm sure Golbez is in it (I should play that game sometime) who looks similar and kefka has been hinted at, so why not our chunky blue knight exdeath?!

Square went down the shitter with their originality for villians after ff7 (Necron was okay I guess but you only see him at the very end!)

I dropped off the FF waggon after FF10 so I dunno who Vayne is. Yeah Kuja was okay I guess, though I wouldn't look at him and think "man he's evil" unlike Garland who's in the same game. He also wears a thong so that's an added bonus for comic relief

When I first saw a 3D render of Kuja, I thought she looked kinda hot...then my friend told me that it was a guy. It was awkward, to say the least...and kinda gay.
