    Geminus

    I have no idea if this is intentional or not, but it feels like an oversight. It's also somewhat spoilerific to those who have not braved the Second Coil of Bahamut, Turn 9...

    I died to Nael's "Meteor Stream", that swooping attack that targets people with a light-purple mark over their head. My fellow party member ran into the nasty "wall". The log for each of us said:

    You are defeated by Nael Geminus.

    Now is "Geminus" referring to his streaming-twin, or is it a remnant from development when he was given a different name as the Van's recreated body?
    (Either way, omg zodiac!)


    I figured I'd drop that here, just in case it was an oversight.

    It's a nod to the greek astronomer and mathematician Geminus.

    The attack isn't carried out by the boss, same thing happens if you die to a primal in Ultima, "You are defeated by Ultima Ifrit" if you die to a charge for example, just untargetable named mobs that do the attack.

    Dude, put stuff in spoiler tags. I was trying to be sensitive there. >_<

    Edited the name out, chances are most people who care about it know who the boss is anyway :3
