Rubiss isn't mentioned in the original {{Famicom}}/{{NES}} versions of the game. However, as of the {{SFC}} remake, and carried into future re-releases, Rubiss has been the subject of two brief prayers of adulation in the aftermath of the {{Hero 1}}'s victory over the [[Dragonlord]].

However, as of the {{SFC}} remake, and carried into future re-releases, Rubiss has been the subject of two brief prayers of adulation in the aftermath of the {{Hero 1}}'s victory over the [[Dragonlord]]. Specifically, the Sage in the [[Sanctum]] who bestows the Hero with the [[Rainbow Drop]], as well as the Sage in [[Cantlin]] who tells the Hero about the location of the [[Mark of Erdrick]] mention Rubiss. The two sages have the exact same dialogue, as many of the citizens of Alefgard share dialogue with other characters of the same NPC class at this point in the end-game. | ||

Being Her first appearance in the series, Rubiss is introduced to players as a protector Goddess who operates through Her chosen ones, rather than directly intervening in world affairs. The fondness and loyalty to which She speaks of [[Erdrick]] elevates the character from but a mere ancient folk hero to a savior to whom the very gods are indebted. This relationship would be further expanded upon in | Being Her first appearance in the series, Rubiss is introduced to players as a protector Goddess who operates through Her chosen ones, rather than directly intervening in world affairs.

The heroes must use the [[Faerie Flute]] in front of the statue there in order to free her. Her rescue by the {{Hero 3}} in this time of need would not be soon forgotten. | ||

Her dialogue has been greatly expanded. Here She will notice the [[Sphere of Light]] in the Hero's possession and state that She and Her flock are in the [[Dragon Queen]]'s debt before elaborating on the bauble's significance in the fight against Zoma. Rubiss laments that Her powers have not yet returned to Her and that the task of slaying the fiend falls to the party, implying She is capable of facing Zoma directly and that the archfiend ambushed Her. | ||
After telling the player that the [[Rainbow Drop]] is necessary to reach Zoma's citadel and bequeathing the [[Sacred Amulet]] to her saviors, Rubiss instills what remains of her divine power into the Sphere of Light so that it will pierce through Zoma's [[Shroud of Shadows]] and render him vulnerable. | After telling the player that the [[Rainbow Drop]] is necessary to reach Zoma's citadel and bequeathing the [[Sacred Amulet]] to her saviors, Rubiss instills what remains of her divine power into the Sphere of Light so that it will pierce through Zoma's [[Shroud of Shadows]] and render him vulnerable. | ||
