Since you clicked on this, I bet you were expecting a rant. But. Onion Butt has “a” redeeming quality, and that is his EX Mode. His HP attacks now switch him twixt a Ninja and a Sage, best at attacking and spells in the original game. Quite obviously, physical attacks make him a Ninja, and magic makes him a Sage. Depending on which form he’s in when he starts his EX Burst it’s different. If he’s in the Ninja job, he has to hunt through a menu old-school-style to find a Shuriken to throw within an allotted time. If he’s a Sage, he has to hunt for Holy in the same menu.

Of course the time limit is bull crap and should have been applied to someone who has an Active-Time battle system instead of a Turn-Based system in their original game. Like Bartz. In fact, that would work really well for his EX Burst. Regardless, it’s the most imaginative EX Burst they made up. It’s probably on of the the hardest EX Bursts too. Every Final Fantasy player must have some memory of when they hunted for a spell, accidentally used Fira instead of Firaga and the boss who was about to be wiped out slaughters you all. Or casting some crap status inflicter the boss is immune to.

As an enemy, Onion Knight is always a surprise. Since quite obviously, you don’t know whether he’ll use magic or just attack you, or some twisted combination of both. Regardless, I wipe the floor with Not-Luneth just like everyone else.

I’ll probably put my review on Cecil up today, since I missed a day. Hasta La Smell-You-Later!
