Phantasy Star IV: Juza

Postby Thoul » Fri Mar 5, '10, 12:04 am

Juza, high priest of Zio, goes for a spin in this animation from Phantasy Star IV. Juza never walks in the game, but he does spin around like this when encountering the group of Alys, Chaz, Rika, Hahn, and Gryz near the top of Zio's tower. He must have been very dizzy.

This guy and his master remind me of an "Antichrist" (or opposite-dark version) of God and Jesus.

I know this may be a little to far-fetched, but, in my mind, if we play with the words, like an anagram, with the name "Joshua" (Hebrew for "Jesus") it can become "Oh Jusa" (or, at least, "Jousah").

His master/"father's" name is Zio which is also similar to Dio ("God" in Italian), but is also prefix of Zion (the promised land of God)*, like a fusion between the two words.

Thank you, it shouldn't be taken seriously, but I think this is kind of fun.
So, there's also a sentence that Zio states just before dying:

"why... Why do you abandon me? Dark Fo...Aaaargh!" (PSIV)

which is also similar to:

"My God my God, why did you abandon me?" (Mt 27: 46)

Red = both sentences have repeated words
Blue = in both sentences they mention their gods

I really wonder who Juza was, he says one incredibly uninteresting line and then you fight him.

I really want to see a Greneris or a Radhin sprite.
