Flying Fortress

From Final Fantasy Wiki

The Flying Fortress

The Flying Fortress, also known as Sky Castle or Floating Castle, is a location from the original Final Fantasy. It is only accessible through the Mirage Tower, and is 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.

[edit] Story

The Flying Fortess 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.

Floating Castle

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.
