yay!!! i finally kicked this game's ass!!!
turns out that my fan translated hacked NES cart had a bug in it - where if i encountered a mithril golem with two doom knights behind him, the knight in the lower left corner had endless hitpoints. i went all the way through jade just to get my ass handed to me on the first floor of pandemonium... AGAIN.
so i breathed in deeply and decided to give it one last try - one last run through that horrid end double-dungeon just hoping that i didn't run across the glitched encounter.
AND I DIDN'T!!!!
i picked up masamune and decided to say "fu
ck it" to the genji armor set - went straight for the emperor. haha i didn't get the info about blood swords being good on him until after i had unequipped BOTH of them thinking that they wouldn't do enough damage LOL. but after 10-15 rounds of serious beat downs on both sides, the undead emperor fell, and peace was once again restored to the kingdom.
i must admit, at the end when...
Spoiler:
the ghosts of all your party members who died come back and nod at you before disappearing once again

i started crying like a little bitch. and then during the credits when "Composer: Nobuo Uematsu" appeared, i completely lost it. it was a teary eyed farewell to a flawed, but ever powerful final fantasy.
now it's on to my final fantasy III NES cart!!!!
