Welcome to Gaia! ::

Speaking of Gold Diggers, the creator of the comic with the same name is Fred Perry, who once did a short FFXI animation! ph34r my random mastery over trivia! scream xd

A ton of weapons in FF7 were done in other games. Most of the weapons are based off of a potluck of mythologies and legends so are bound to show up in other fantasy games. The masamune for instance, featured in both Chrono Trigger, and Soul Calibur 2 (although chrono trigger is Square, and ALMOST a final fantasy so I dunno if it counts).


You know what would be a pretty badass duel? Sephiroth versus Vampire Hunter D. Winner gets to take on Oni Kirimaru! Speaking of ogre slayer, I looked for a cool clip on you tube, and all they have are a couple of crappy 2 minute things in SPANISH. How incognito is this thing, Jesus! rolleyes

Uh... Yeah. That's what I was trying to say dude sweatdrop Half the weapons in any given FF game are references to folklore, legends, myths, whatever you wanna call it. And any given fantasy RPG will usually have at least one as well, thus the odds of FF and other games sharing weapons are rather high 3nodding

He wasn't saying weapons that were a reference to final fantasy, he just means weapons in final fantasy that have appeared elsewhere...

Well, there are a lot of recurring items in general as you go on through the Final Fantasy universe. The Ribbon appears in nearly every Final Fantasy as an accessory that wards away bad status effects, the Ragnarok appears in most of them as a weapon (inorite?), as well as the Masumune. In essence, there are a lot of items that cross over between Final Fantasy's.

The same can also be said of spells (even though they didn't start translating them correctly until Final Fantasy VIII) and summons.

Ribbons really are the only accessory to still be used, that and the genji equipment.

Bland games with shallow storylines don't need more than one ending. With the exception of Final Fantasy VI, VII, and Tactics, I'm not a huge fan of Final Fantasy. If you want story, then play something from Atlus. Their games' stories trounce Final Fantasy most of the time- namely their Shin Megami Tensei series.

I suppose I'm being a bit harsh on the series, though, seeing as how I buy each of them that comes out. Maybe I'm expecting the proverbial lightning to hit again with their games. So far, I'm just disappointed. Here's to hoping that Final Fantasy XIII and VERSUS XIII won't be complete letdowns.

As for Final Fantasy VII's story line, I can't help but feel that they're milking it WAY too much now. I was happy with Dirge of Cerberus, even though the gameplay itself was rather lackluster, it shed more light into Vincent's background. I even liked Advent Children, since it felt like it brought Final Fantasy VII to a conclusion that was missing in the original game. But, I have to say, all the other installments are beginning to make my interest wane.

Final Fantasy VII has, in essence, become its own game series. Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, and the rumored Eternal Crisis for the PS3. How long can they keep this series going?

You have no arguments from me. That actually is a large reason why Final Fantasy is one of the most notable series for Square Enix. Back when Square Pictures made "Final Flight of the Osiris" for "The Animatrix" and "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within", Square was on top- namely thanks to Sakaguchi. How ironic that it was Sakaguchi's greenlight of The Spirits Within that bankrupted the company. stare In essence, they've had to make only what would earn money for the company as a whole and pay off what they owed Sony (which bought 1/3 of their stock to keep them afloat). It's a huge reason why we haven't seen another Chrono game or any other Square game that we love.
