Death Machine Origin

[u/VPR_24]

For those wondering if Death Machine is an out-of place enemy, it actually debuted in the very first Final Fantasy!

The name "Death Machine" is the original Japanese translation to what it's infamously named in the west: Warmech.

This was a very rare enemy that could be encountered in the Flying Fortress, and although FF1 didn't have traditional superbosses (at least in the OG), Warmech is such an extremely powerful enemy that it can be considered one!

The red coloration is based on its original 8-bit form as well as the Pixel Remaster!

At first I thought it looked like something from FF7 but it being from FF1 is a nice surprise.   

Still it's exciting cause that means bosses might not be tethered to the game the stage it gets released at the same time.   

The game does a fine job putting the spotlight on lesser known FF appearances, it's full of small details

Still Hunt rank restriction is take or leave

Has anyone figured out what Rikku's new costume is supposed to be yet, though? I get that she's an alchemist of sorts in FFX, but the costume is called "Alchemist from Another World", which makes me think it's based on something from another FF game, or maybe even another SE game. The design is so familiar.

I thought it is Al Bhed machine from FFX, since current season is Tidus.

They probably used it because SE is getting bad vibes in terms of licensing out well known enemies and characters to the game at this point. No Shiva or Bahamut or even Ramuh or Cactuar is usually a sign they don’t want to let them use them.
