One of the interesting things about the FFVIII world is the way that the pasts of the main characters is connected... but the connection between Squall and Rinoa's pasts kinda creeps me out. Julia and Laguna had a budding romance, although when he disappeared after the Lunatic Pandora mission...

So FFVII started a new trend in Final Fantasies to combine SF elements and stylized mechanics with the traditional fantasy. But FFVIII took it to a new level. I'm wondering what people thought about that. Do you think in a way it made you like or dislike the game more? I really dislike pure SF...

How do you guys think magic and sorcery works in the world of FFVIII? The consensus seems to say that sorceresses are able to use magic innately, but regular humans can only use magic when they have Drawn it from a monster or draw point. However, there seems to be some kind of threshold, as...

What aspects of Final Fantasy do you believe to be staples of the series? What about things that aren't necessarily staples, but simply recurring themes, or symbols? Here is an obvious one: Crystals Here is a not so obvious one: Case of Identity: I can't think of any hero, except for...

What are the weirdest moments in Final Fantasy games that just made you go WTF?! I'm not talking about the crazy plot twists, or the betrayals, or any important stuff. Just the weird things that make you laugh or alternately make you want to back away from the controller. Slowly. Here are some...

Let's disregard the fact that Aerith is the "official" spelling for the name, as well as the fact that it makes a clever anagram of "I Earth". Based only on how they look and sound, which name do you prefer: Aeris OR Aerith?

This was my first RPG and definitely remains one of my favorite games to this day. I loved the whimsical nature that Nintendo injected, but also the definite Square hallmarks of a complex plot (well not that complex... it was a complex plot for a Mario game, anyway) and a great battle system...

I liked Last Order considerably better than Advent Children. However, I couldn't stand the fact that it's subtly, but profoundly inconsistent with the game canon. The biggest inconsistency that would actually have greatly changed the game's plot: Tifa talks to Cloud at the Mako reactor. It's...

Hey everybody... I'm new to FFF, so just thought I'd introduce myself. So, my preferred sn is eisprinz, and my current avatar happens to be one of my own baby pics, just to clarify the fact that I'm not some creep who posts up pics of other people's kids. Anyway, obviously I'm a fan of Final...
