Awkward moment(in scenario writing) in a beloved old school RPG

I always loved this certain scenario in Final Fantasy IV. Not because it showed the true power of Golbez and how outmatched Cecil and his crew were. And not because it showcased the powerful(and sexy) return of Rydia from the dead(complete with leather, thigh-high fuck-me boots). And it certainly wasn't because it demonstrated the dire circumstances our hero was in for. No. I loved it because a gigantic hand of Golbez appears and takes away the crystal VERY VERY VERY SLOWLY in front of our heroes and they do nothing about it(The hand even takes a ZIG-ZAGGY way towards it!! It didn't even take the shortest distance!). Talk about awkward writing.

Note: Fast forward to 4:10 in the video to watch in horror as Golbez's hand SLOWLY takes away the crystal.
