Creator
From Final Fantasy Wiki
- "The destruction has already begun... My destruction... and that of this moon... You must run!"
- —The Creator, to the main party
The Creator (クリエーター, Kuriētā) is the main villain and final boss of Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. It occupies the True Moon, which it utilizes as a vessel for interstellar travel. The Creator is the last surviving member of a species which once prospered on the distant edge of the universe, but ultimately destroyed its own civilization. Concerned about whether or not evolution was a necessity and wishing to conduct experiments regarding the evolution of life, it created a host of Crystals capable of recording the history of a world and distributed them upon planets which held the promise of life, including the Blue Planet. The Creator and its Subterrane are even stronger than Zeromus's. Edge remarks that Zeromus's moon "has nothing" on the Creator's.
[edit] Story
Following the events of Final Fantasy IV, the Creator mass-produces and dispatches the Maenads to recover the Crystals. It deems the races of the Blue Planet evolutionary failures whose continued existence cannot be permitted, and, like the worlds of other inferior races, attempts to devour the Blue Planet with the True Moon.
The party eventually gathers and sets out to stop the rapidly approaching moon. Within the depths of the True Moon, the party advances, destroying Crystals protected by life forms of other worlds -- bosses from throughout the Nintendo era of the Final Fantasy series. The group reaches the extreme depths and encounters the Creator, encased in a cocoon-like shell. After being defeated, the Creator emerges and explains its true nature, then attacks in earnest, only to be repelled. The party senses that they are in danger and attempts to flee, with the Creator in close pursuit and Maenad helping to hold it off. After several encounters, the Creator takes on its final form and is ultimately defeated when Maenad unleashes a gigantic Meteor spell that destroys them both. The Creator's final words are "Thank you," implying that the Creator only undertook its quest due to insanity brought on by the destruction of its own civilization and had this craze broken when it realized its demise, and hence thanked Maenad for awakening it.
