Maybe this is a topic that's already been discussed, but it's something that has been on my mind lately. So, small topic for the night: What exactly do you suppose the a Supersoft is?
I'm sure a good chunk of you are aware that Softs were previously known as Gold Needles in the past. I'm not sure what the reasoning is in the change in names, but in FFIX they're known as 'Soft'. Interestingly, their icon in the menu is shown as a potion
So no gold needles here! Though I suppose there could be needles inside?
So, is it a potion? Golden needles inside? Something else?
That said, more important to the title thread, what do you think a Supersoft is? A more condensed or higher prescription grade soft? Maybe a special kind of needle? How does one even go about using a soft/Supersoft? Assuming your party member is petrified, would a golden needle just need to touch the surface to cure the stone? Or would you pour a liquid potion over the entire character? Is there even enough to coat a person in a single bottle?
I can't find evidence to back this up, but I seem to remember reading somewhere a long time ago that in the Japanese version the Supersoft was referred to as a PlatinumPlume Needle. I'll keep looking for more info but it would bring another interesting piece to the topic if I'm right!
Let me know what you think
