Between the two, Calca has higher Strength, Stamina and Intelligence, while Brina has higher Speed and Spirit.

Their main stats are significantly lower than the other characters', including the lowest HP growth in the game-along with Leonora they are the only characters to have less than 4,000 HP at level 99.

For example, early on in Rydia's story the "Warrior's Clothes" boost strength and stamina while lowering intelligence and spirit, allowing the player to turn either Calca or Brina into a front-line fighter while they are in the party. However, all of their unique equipment gives extreme stat changes to customize their combat role. The dolls share this trait with Harley and the Eblan Four.Ĭalca and Brina are statistically the worst characters in The After Years based on their own pure stat growth from leveling up. If they are brought to the battle against the final boss, the cutscene where the people pray for the party will not show people praying for the dolls, but rather showcases Luca's cutscene. After the Creator is defeated, Calca and Brina remain as Luca's assistants.Ĭalca and Brina are playable party members in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. Within the moon, Luca and Cid repair the dolls into their perfect forms. The dolls join Luca and the party who embark on the Lunar Whale to stop the True Moon from crashing into the Earth. If a Mythril Nut, Mythril Bolt, and Mythril Spring are found, Rydia gives them to Luca so she can repair both the Falcon and the dolls (in the mobile ans Steam versions, the player only needs 2 Mythril Springs, which are acquired automatically in a forced encounter). After crashing the Falcon near the town of Agart, Luca is forced to scrap Calca and Brina's bodies to repair it. Upon reaching the Overworld, the dolls' circuits go haywire and attack the party. Despite the sacrifice, the crystal is stolen and Rydia and Luca pursue the Mysterious Girl to Baron. After retrieving the crystal the Mysterious Girl ambushes the party, and Calca and Brina jump in to protect Luca and Rydia and get damaged.

After becoming Cid's apprentice, Luca reconstructs Calca and Brina into full automatons to assist her on the maintenance of the Falcon.Īfter the Dwarven Castle is attacked they join the party to help Luca and Rydia obtain the Dark Crystal in the Sealed Cave. The dolls were originally harmless toys belonging to King Giott's daughter, Luca, who is frustrated to learn the dolls were used for evil.Ĭalca and Brina accompany Luca and Rydia on their journey to protect the remaining crystals. If left alive for long enough, the two merge into the more powerful Calcabrina (called "Calbrena" in the 1991 SNES Final Fantasy II U.S. The only hints of sentience in them is during the final battle, when, if Luca is in the party, they think thoughts wishing for her survival and return.Ĭalca and Brina are fought in the Dwarven Castle when Golbez takes control of them. In The After Years, Calca and Brina have no personality to speak of, with no dialogue attributed to them, and they take no action of their own save for when they malfunction and attack the party. In Final Fantasy IV, the dolls are generally mocking and playful toward the party, taunting that Golbez is on his way and frequently laughing. Their clothing in Final Fantasy IV is identical save for the Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection release, when Calca's body is blue while Brina has a red body with a white skirt. Calca wears blue clothing, while Brina wears red clothing, but in some games these colors are their bodies and they wear no clothes. Dialogue in Final Fantasy IV implies the dolls in that game were normal toys, while in The After Years they appear the size of small children.
