Flying Fortress
The Flying Fortress.
HenryacoresAdded by Henryacores

The Flying Fortress (浮遊城, Fuyūjō?), also known as Sky Castle or Floating Castle, is a location from the original Final Fantasy that is only accessible through the Mirage Tower. In the NES and MSX versions, it resembled a satellite in space; the releases starting with the Wonderswan version changed it into a more traditional castle in the clouds. This structure is where the Wind Crystal rests and where the Fiend of Wind, Tiamat, awaits the Warriors of Light.

However, an even greater threat exists on the bridge leading to Tiamat's lair: the powerful machine of death known as the Warmech.

StoryEdit

The Flying Fortress was originally home to the advanced Lufenian race. Their expertise in technology is seen in the grand structure of the fortress and its seemingly impossible ability to levitate in the heavens. Unfortunately, 400 years before the advent of the Warriors of Light, Tiamat eventually forced the Lufenians out of their home, after which they began living in Lufenia.

After obtaining the Chime from Lufenia and the Warp Cube from Waterfall Cavern, the Warriors of Light venture to the Mirage Tower, so as to reach the Flying Fortress. There, they defeat Tiamat and restore the Wind Crystal.

The Floating Castle was mentioned as one of the wonders in Final Fantasy Tactics. It bears the following description:

The winged ones possessed technology allowing them to transmute cloudstone into crystals, like the ones that keep this castle aloft. Unfortunately, both the winged ones and their wondrous knowledge were lost in the Cataclysm.


Dissidia 012 Final FantasyEdit

The Dreams of a Flying Castle Gateway is located in the middle of the Mirage Sandsea (Dissidia 012's given name to the Yahnikurm Desert area), and is a direct reference to the Flying Fortress.
