I don't know what we'd find. I'm kind of an anti-Vivisectionist.

I don't know of any others in FFVII per se, but in Advent Children the plate on Jenova's helmet is retconned to refer to a "[μ]-Era": https://thelifestream.net/lifestream-projects/analysis/4774/frequently-asked-questions-regarding-ffvii-an-analysis-by-squall_of_seed/ (Scroll down on the linked...

Ever since I was three and saw Land Before Time, I was a dinosaur nerd. Normal people only loved Jurassic Park. I was obsessed with it. But all that's to say, in 1987 Avalon Hill came out with a board game called Dinosaurs of the Lost World. My dad was a big war gamer at the time, so he scored a...

I've replayed all of the main series at one point or another. The ones that I've replayed after finishing, though, are: IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X. The ones that I've completed multiple times after finishing are: VII, VIII. The ones I've started multiple times but never finished are: I, II...

I almost forgot. Blue Dragon (a.k.a. perfected Final Fantasy V). An honorary Final Fantasy. I'll be frank: The story bores me as an adult, but I can see a younger version of myself having this as his favorite in the series. It has everything that made V fun, but with a Chrono Trigger coat of...

I'll bite. FFI. Didn't grow up with the NES, can't stand it because I'm spoiled by the quality-of-life improvements in the PS1 remakes. But I've played the original Wizardry and Might & Magic, so I recognize what it achieved at the time and do consider it one of the best RPGs from that era...

Yeah, I noticed this the last time I played about a year ago, because I've been learning Modern Greek to help me follow the Eastern Orthodox liturgy. I don't think it has any significance. I think it's just there to give a façade of worldbuilding. Relatively few people in the world speak Greek...

My group likes to play a lot of the games you mention. I struggle, because our glorious leader likes shorter games, but I like Twilight Imperium, A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, Shogun, Firefly: The Board Game, and Rialto.

I like listening to this one to get in the mood for work. I work as a behavioral therapist with kids. Chip tunes and synthwave remind me of all the great sci fi from the 1980's that got me into natural science. Shook puts me in an indulgent state of ecstasy to where I can just see the code of...

SaGa really doesn't get the love it deserves in the West. I never played Lennus all the way through. When I tried it when I was younger, its graphics didn't appeal to me. But it's cool to see someone restoring the original hardware experience.

I think you're all over-analyzing. Jenova's just there to tie together the themes of environmentalism. Shin-Ra, Sephiroth, Jenova--they're all just foils to get the playable characters to find a personal stake in putting the well-being of the Planet above their own. If the name chosen for Jenova...

I do also have Alpha Sapphire, have played a little of it, and like it (though not as much as OG Gold). I would LOVE to go back to the GBA days and do plan on buying FireRed and a back-compat DSi, but the OG Sapphire etc. feel like too much of a hassle to preserve given their use of save...

Well, I wish you luck, but it's just not my cup o' tea.

Yes, really. The sprite edges are too smooth, the color variety is too rich. No, it's not as bad as the mobile FFV and FFVI, but it's still too far from my fond memories.

It certainly looks good graphically. But I'm not much of a fan of crossovers unless the worldbuilding can be accounted for. I'm OCD like that.

Hey there. Hope you enjoy one of the longest-running FF forums on the Internet.

In order of frequency: Playing FFVIII to learn how to break it. I'm in the process of farming Cures outside Balamb Garden so I can refine them into Curaras before I resume using Card to mine AP from the Fasti-- ... the Fasticu-- the fish things on the beach without accruing EXP, so I can keep...

It mostly comes down to the graphical style. Give me 16-bit visuals, give me 32-bit-like 3D models, but please don't do the Pier Solar HD look.

Objectively, I know this entry in the series is near the bottom of my personal list. I actually think FFII and FFV are better (but not FFXIII!--and yes, I mean Japanese FFII; I've always loved the wacky mechanics of SaGa). But subjectively, FFVIII came out at an important time in my life. It was...
