The party gathers and sets out to stop the rapidly approaching moon . Within True Moon ' s depths the party destroys Crystals protected by other worlds ' life forms — bosses from throughout the Nintendo era of the " Final Fantasy " series . The group encounters the Creator encased in a cocoon - like shell and after the shell is destroyed , the Creator emerges and explains its true nature , then attacks in earnest .

Abilities . As the sole survivor of a civilization much more advanced than any other known civilization , the Creator is immensely powerful . It created many Crystals that were scattered around many worlds , which had the ability to allow any civilization to prosper and also collected data . Many of the Crystals contain data from creatures of many games of the series , which shows the vast reach of his extent . Using the data collected from Rydia , the Creator created the Maenads . It is far more powerful than Zeromus and can use devastating magic , and even control a Moon with its power . When weakened the samples collected from his core allow it to transform and become more powerful , but The Creator loses its sanity in the process . In its final form the Creator becomes a deformed monstrosity with access to several powerful abilities , such as control over high level magic , blasts of energy , regeneration , and duplication , albeit these copies and its own final form are so unstable they damage themselves over time through Metastasis . Only a Meteor spell from the Maenads is powerful enough to destroy it for good . Gameplay . The Creator is the game ' s final boss fought in four different forms .
