>>6177
Because no one remembers it. It happened between the hype of VIII and X.

>>6184

X? X sucked.

I'm surprised anything that's not new aside from 7 is known.

>>6177 I have NO fucking idea, shit was great.

>>6185 Ten didn't suck, but only cause it had auron... and jecht.

>>6196
Nah, X was generally good, it just had people reacting realistically to situations, and nobody likes to see that.

>>6224

that's right. people were very realistic.
HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA.
HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA.

>>6226
Yeah, that's what forced laughter sounds like.

In SE's defense, FFIX was not good. Unless you like furries

>>6177
You forgot dissidia

>>6534 Nice try. I remember you.

Mr."FF9 is for furries and fags". No-one agrees with you.

FF 9 was epic.

>>6577

Without even having played it, just from hearing about it and seeing little bits played, I can say that is a quantifiably true statement.

FF9 stands on par with the best of the Final Fantasy series - the visual design choices are the ONLY reason, I think, it doesn't get the recognition and admiration it deserves.

>>6022 no, 'cause he's a pothead. I mean, just look at him!

>>6019
I love how FFXIII has alot of American celeberties.
Snow = Kurt Cobain
Sazh = Lionel Richie
Cid = Trent Reznor

>>6020

He can't be that manly, he's clearly deathly afraid of razors to judge by that moss he's let grow out on his face.

>>6250

When he tried shaving them, the razors were cut.

>>6251

He ain't no Chuck Norris.

Also, last picture on the 4th row: "Duuuude... too bright..."

>>6250 DOH-HOH-HOH

He's hot...

Too bad he's the worst shonen stereotype and biggest bitch in the series, everything he does goes wrong and the other party members have to bail him out and everyone he swears to protect either dies or turns into a crystal.

vc: refag

>>6390

FAKE!

>> 6053 I wish I knew, but it does indeed look awesome. Anyway guys, I did the project, its handed in and I can show you my stuff.

I'm gonna start with just the clubs. Bear in mind, I failed to find a single comedic quote from FF2 so yeah. I'm not particularly confident with them, so please dont flame me too harshly, Typography is NOT my forte

The Clubs were the comedic/silly quotes, obviously

>>6055

>I wanna be a Blitzball when I grow up!

Did someone really say that?

>>6061

Yes, in Kilika, there's a boy who says that in the Inn, I think

>>6063 Coo.

Hey, for 2 you should put: "Why is flare better than ultima?". This is something my dad said, as he noticed flare did more damage. For who said it you can put "-Player".

How come nobody has said "Son of a submariner!" until now?

"I, Garland, will KNOCK YOU ALL DOWN!"

GOLDEN SAUCER: BATTLE SQUARE
1)The braves don't fear the grave
also
2) Back from the grave back from the flames

pretty sure you could fill this thread up with just quotes from this guy

>>6397 Too easy.

>>6541-6551 scans taken from FFVI: Adventure Guide Book

>>6422
The name of FFVII's world is somewhat debatable:

In the actual game they simply refer it to The Planet.
Square retroactively named it Gaia for some reason no one knows.
FFX and FFVII are supposed to share the same world and the FFX's world is called Spira.

>>6425

>FFX and FFVII are supposed to share the same world

Don't start this shit, please.

>>6426 then you obviously haven't seen the timeline thread.

>>6431

You mean the "smoke weed, every day" thread?

Our site isn't claiming that world's names are the real ones.

As RE 6417 said, mostly of FF's worlds are Gaia.

We chose the names as follow:
1: Cyclochronos: Because of the time loop of the scenario.
2: Paramecia: Because of the name of the Empire that dominate the world.
3: Eureka: refering to the "forbidden land", my inspiration lacked, on this one.
4: Selenia: Because of the influence of the moon in the scenario.
5: Lerre: the approx. japanese pronouncing of "R", the planet of "FF Legend of the crystals"
6: Equilibrium: The latin word for "balance", refering to the world of balance.
7: Cetra: The name of the ancients who were living on the "planet"
8: Centra: The name of the ancient people who once lived on ff8 world (they were living on the central continent)
9,10,11,12,13,14:Named in the game itself.

>>6425 here.
Sorry for starting that shit but unfortunately that connection is canon because SE says so and because it's confirmed on FFX-2. Honestly I think SE just forced that connection up because FFX and FFVII are the most popular FF games in Japan.

>>6435

Source please. And no, a random NPC called Shinra in X-2 is as much of a source as all games having a guy named Cid and chocobos in them.

In FFX2, it's just a small cameo crossover... Nothing that really make a real link with FF7.
There's others (and numerous) little crossovers like this in the whole serie.
For example, in FF4DS, Kain Highwind says that his father, Richard Highwind was also a Dragoon. In fact, Richard is the dragoon of FF2. Is FF2 and FF4 related for so? I doubdt it..
Other example: Necropobia ("fear of death" in latin) from ff5 is the final boss of FF9 (see picture). Is there anyway a link between FF5 and 9?
See the "Crossovers section" of FFCOMPENDIUM for much infos.

Check the section about translations concerning the plot-related connection between FFVII and
FFX/X-2.

Nojima went on to say that Shinra's attempts to use Vegnagun's remains failed
and that he was unable to complete the concept of mako-extraction, just as
Shinra had predicted. However, some 1000 years later, once space travel became
possible, Shinra's descendants would go on a voyage to the world of Final
Fantasy VII. There, at some point in the future, they would be successful in
utilizing the concept, and would provide electricity from the Planet for a
price; these descendants would found the Shin-Ra Company of Final Fantasy VII.

Well if you look at the smoke weed everyday thread as >>6432 called it, I think its explained. I wish there was a good arguement against it other than "you know its not canon", well duh, it won't be unless they say it is.

I been giving it some thought, is it possible that when Sakaguchi stopped writing the stories and Kitase started to, to continue a feeling of Final Fantasy, instead of writing something that would go along the lines of "Tales of" or Star Ocean, he went on to make games that come after others. As a writer, you do not want to admit to a timeline because it implies the idea that you're uncreative. Doesn't matter, because we know its not canon. Doesn't mean it can't be fun and interesting.

Also explanations for the ones which aren't completely obvious from their names or designs:

• Kefka, like Cuchulainn, went mad and became a mindless destroyer after being infused with magic. He likes to use poison and devastates the entire world.
• Zalera is a triple reference. Like Sephiroth he has one large angel wing, the shamaness he bonded with is a reference to Jenova and in FFT, the one who ended up as Zalera's host was Marquis Elmdore, a slender man with white hair who uses the masamune and genji equipment.
• Kuja rebelled against his creator like Adrammelech and gathered an army of fiends to destroy the world, his counterpart was Zidane.
• Hashmal giving his body in the thousand-year-war and falling into the inferno in the end is a reference to Jecht becoming Braska's final aeon and eventually Sin.
• Belias finding a new purpose as a guardian of the king's tomb is similar to Raogrimm becoming the guardian of Dynamis, which is like a graveyard dimension populated by fallen warriors, after being defeated and brought back to sanity by the player.

I love it. Its sheer brilliance.

actually, a few espers came from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Adrammalech, Ultima, Famfrit are all species specific summons that your troops can call down.

there was a final fantasy encyclopedia that listed every enemy and boss from every game, and laid out the links between the FF12 espers and characters from earlier games

>>6423
source?

>>6427

not >>6423 but this might be what he's talking about. cba to actually find if it really has what >>6423 was talking about

http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/

Sorry but who is Famfrit referencing again? I don't recognize her

>>6429
Cloud of Darkness, the bringer of nothingness.

>>6428
This is great too, however, the other one seems like someone had to put thought and effort into it, which I really appreciate.

Any more of his art from FF11?

Not that I'm defending FF7 or anything, but you can do that with the plot of just about anything.

Although, the silver hair, and the giant two handed sword is a bit off.

Eh... The white-haired pretty boy is fairly well-established.

>>6021 Indeed.

>>6023

Actually, I think the closer Bleach-match is Ukitake. Nice guy though, and he does have 2 medium swords instead of one big one. Okay, maybe not so similar after all.

In a world that mixes magic and technology, an evil corporation has plans to dominate the world with magic infused soldiers. They are opposed by a small band of rebels, who work underground to stymie their efforts and are aided by a not-quite-human woman who is a descendant of ancient, powerful beings and is sought by both sides. One of the corporation's soldiers kills their leader and, crazy, decides to destroy the world. Oh, and he kills someone you care about. The rebels break into three teams to take him down, and destroy his final form... an angel-like being.

So was I talking about Final Fantasy 6, or 7?

>>6051 Exactly. Taken out of context in the right way, almost any plot can be compared to another.

>>6051 You forgot to mention how they both use gems to learn magic and summon spirits.
They also travel with a mog and a self-proclaimed treasure hunter.
The main character gets separated from the others and for a time is unable to fight.

"In a world that mixes magic and technology, an evil corporation"
Just that is enough to say final VII (Final VI is a world where magic get rediscovered)

FF8's plot is very original.

Yeah...
