*Vivi then explains the situation to them, or scolds them, or something*
They are? Hey! You guys know better than to act mean! The implication here is that Vivi got sentience when we tried to Imprism him. So your friends there- are all of them able to talk just like you do? It's revealed that the person speaking over the ending is Vivi, who has apparently died by the time the ending takes place and this is something like a goodbye letter from him. That's kind of a bummer.Īt the end of the game, the party is shown getting together again to watch a play, but Vivi isn't around. Unfortunately, finding said village results in Vivi learning that the Black Mages only tend to live for about a year. He later finds out that other Black Mages gained sentience as well and formed a little village. Vivi seems to be the only one with sentience, while the others are basically just artificial soldiers. Vivi starts to develop identity issues throughout FFIX, mostly because of a similar situation to what we see here. A terrifying monstrosity guy named Quan finds him and starts to raise him, although at first Quan is doing so in the hopes of fattening Vivi up to eat someday. He's an artificially created Black Mage that falls out during shipping and winds up in a nearby forest. Vivi is voiced by Kath Soucie in English and Ikue Otani in Japanese.

Might as well try imprisming it, I guess. Strangely, a capture chance will trigger when the weird coloured Mage's HP drops to about 40%. The weirdly coloured Mage will cast Focus and then try to hit you with boosted magic. The Mages can quickly chip away at your HP by ganging up on one target. If you have attacks that hit all enemies (or items that do so) then now is a good time to bust them out. So we're up against 5 Black Mages and 1 weirdly coloured Black Mage.
Then we know exactly what to do with them. That sure is a large collection of garden gnomes.
