A very good turtle @cagnazzo - Tumblr Blog

Okay I found a really neat website that has documented some obscure final fantasy IV things! Among that is all the ffiv art there is, various commercials, the maps, etc. I think it's worth checking out :)

#reblogging myself yet again #mostly just to archive it #boy im really not using this acc to talk about the fiends huh

Quick! Does anyone wanna hear me rant about the FFXIV fiend designs???

#Rubi put on some PANTS #THEY DID SCARM SO FUCKIN DIRTY #HE PRONOUMCED HIS OWN NAME WRONG #FFIV #FFXIV #scarmiglione #Rubicante #barbariccia #Cagnazzo #Listen i havent seen cag yet and im afraid to look

Golbez: Stuck in an elevator because Cagnazzo decided to jump?

All four fiends (and Golbez): FUCKING MINT.

Golbez: Scarmiglione's had three panic attacks in ten minutes?

All: FUCKING MINT.

Golbez: Barbariccia's being immature and yelling the whole time?

All: FUCKING MINT.

Golbez: Rubicante has just been listening to music and calling Edge?

All: FUCKING MINT.

Golbez: Zemus is the one we're gonna blame because he's an asshole?

All: FUCKING MINT.

Zemus is the root of all problems honestly. Whenever smth goes wrong they're just like "dammit ZEMUS!!" ("Weve been telling you the elevator needs repairs so hire a damn repairman!"-"why dont you do it? You're TECHNICALLY their leader"-"with what money exactly?")

Also they do know how to get scarm down from his panic attacks luckily :)

Barb doesnt want to be here™ ("why did i even GET into the elevator! I CAN FLY!"-"barb barb barb-"-"yeah?"-"shut it"-" :V!"

#scarmiglione could you uh...#Rubi has a phone but its small and hes struggling. So a lot of times hes just like #Cag and barb have sibling energy™#Cagnazzo #Barbariccia #Scarmiglione #Rubicante #Golbez

Yall remember that mushroom monolog? Like "you cannot kill me in any way that matters"? That but its scarm muttering to himself while he thinks he's alone.

#Zemus enters. Scarm mutters: decay is just another form of life :D. Zemus hurries out.#Hes a chatty boy #And very much not ashamed of his lisp #Scarmiglione #Ffiv #Hey ffiv fandom come get yall fiend content!#Btw sorry for fucking dying lmao #I never stopped thinking about the fiends #Also yall know how ffi had a very recent prequel? Can we get that but with the fiends raising golbez? Please??

Scarm: [smth unintelligible] but of course Rubicante would kill me if he heard me talking about him like that...

Rubi, who is right behind him: like what.

#Rubi is just fucking silent when he walks so usually he just suddenly appears behind people.#Motherfucker just zooms around #Hes got places to be #And scarm seems like the type to talk with himself #So rubi has heard things he shouldn't have heard #But its okay he keeps quiet #Ffiv #scarmiglione #Rubicante

Broke: the fiends being tall during the fights is just a technique to show how intimidating they are/to let them fill enough of the screen

Woke: the fiends are gigantic. Except for scarm in his robe form. (And golbez is like 7+ feet)

#TALL FIENDS TALL FIENDS #BARB IS A 10 FOOT LESBIAN LETS GOOO #Ffiv #Golbez #Do i tag all the fiends?#Eeeehhhh #Yeah imma be annoying huhu #scarmiglione #rubicante #barbariccia #cagnazzo

Rubi: *trying to reason why he won't treat theo softer because he's a human (despite just being a kid) and boy does rubi have bad experiences with humans*

Scarm: *pulls out a crumpled piece of paper*

Rubi: huh? What are you doing?

Scarm: im writing you a check for THERAPY

#Scarm: listen i hate humans but but this kid is like... 7. Calm down #Ffiv #scarmiglione #rubicante #Golbez

you know that "you have uno" skit? that but the fiends

Oooh I did not! But it gives me big cag and barb energy! Cags the first one going "I don't have uno" while barb is the responding one.

Heres the thing I'm referencing! I'm sorry if its not the full one since ive never actually like... Heard of it before. Do feel free to add on!

#your consoles are the same age. We got them on the same day. Are you two okay?#They give me big sibling energy honestly #Will mercilessly tease each other but will kill you if you insult the other #Scarm and rubi are hearing them argue and are like

headcanons on the four fiends of the elements from ff4?

*vibrates intensely*

Okay so fun fact, ten years ago, when I was a teenager, I was absolutely obsessed with the Four Fiends of FF4. They are partly the reason I got into Final Fantasy because I adore awesome monster designs. Ended up downloading a ROM of the GBA version of FF4 because of it.

Scarmiglione

Poor dude reeks of death on a constant basis and tends to slur his speech. If not for his terrifying appearance under the cloak, most would laugh him off.

He's actually a bit insecure in regards to being considered the "weakest" fiend. Most of the time he'll brush it off or try to show his power, but it actually does get to him.

Out of all four of them, it's he and Rubicante who are the most loyal to Golbez. The guy has a tender side under the rotting husk of a form but seldom shows it.

Don't call him Milon for short, he hates that.

Cagnazzo

He boasts power, but in actuality, as far as magic and numbers go, Cagnazzo is weaker than Scarmiglione. But he's good at shapeshifting at least.

Cagnazzo doesn't hate Scarmiglione, far from it! In fact, he would consider the Earth fiend the closest thing to a best friend. He just gets jealous and petty.

His only company is Baigan, who isn't exactly the best comfort in the world.

Upon finding out that Cecil is Golbez's brother, Cagnazzo did actually feel some remorse for killing Cecil's adoptive father. Wasn't entirely his fault though, Zemus is to blame.

Barbariccia

Hot-take headcanon? Barbariccia is trans. She altered her form and identity because she wanted to. The other archfiends accept this just fine and are supportive of it!

She actually has a crush on Kain Highwind but her general attitude and ego make it difficult to admit. So it ends up usually being a one-sided rivalry to most.

Even though Barbariccia is the most "human" out of all four of them, she actually behaves more feral than the other three. If she sees a turkey leg, she's going to rip into it like a hyena tearing a carcass while the others look on in horror.

She loves spoiling the Magus Sisters like they're her own kids!

Rubicante

The most levelheaded and sympathetic of the archfiends, given his disgust for Dr. Lugae and his twisted experiments and honor shown towards Edge.

His intentions are good and he likes fair fights, but sometimes the others have poked fun at the fact that he heals his opponents. Barbariccia has even asked him if it's self-sabotage or if he wants his enemies to defeat him.

Had Rubicante known that Golbez was under Zemus's control, he would have helped try to break it much sooner. He actually despises Zemus's desire for genocide on the Blue Planet.

He's usually the straight man of the group, but in the rare instance where he isn't, Scarmiglione will be the voice of reason to snap him back into character.

Bonus four fiends in KH headcanons below the cut, because I wasn't sure if you wanted that or just regular headcanons-
