Final Fantasy Fan Club

[Ultra - Retro Reviver!]

I actually have two things to talk about. One of them actually being the topic, and another one being a Final Fantasy VII theory.

Theory

Spoiler:

Square has mentioned that they want the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII to run on until it's twenty fifth anniversary. And a few stuff could happen during that time.

A rumour I heard about quite recently is War of the Ancients, taking place 2,000 years before any of the events prior to Final Fantasy VII. That is one thing that could happen. And with Crisis Core currently being the earliest out of the official compilation of FF7, there is a game between Crisis Core and Final Fantasy VII called Before Crisis only released in Japan.

Crisis Core was originally going to be a PSP Port of Before Crisis, but then Yoshinori Kitase recommended changing the main character to Zack Fair because of his pre-determined fate in Final Fantasy VII, thus Crisis Core is born. Before Crisis was mobile game only released in Japan staring the Turks as the main characters. Yoshinori Kitase, the same person who recommended changing the main character of Crisis Core to Zack, has been interested in developing a port of Before Crisis onto the Nintendo 3DS. All though I don't see this happening any time soon. I also think it'll probably be on PS Vita and not Nintendo 3DS.

There were also a few Final Fantasy VII animes. There was "Last Order" which covered the events of the Nibelheim Incident and the ending of Crisis Core. There was also another one called "On the way to a smile" which covered the gap between Final Fantasy VII and Advent. Children. Both of these animes still need an official translation.

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is also here. In the game's secret ending after collecting all of the "G Files",

Spoiler:

you see Genesis picking up Weiss and then Genesis says "now is not time for slumber, brother. We have unfinished work" or something alone those lines. We could see a game starring this unlikely duo as the main antagonists. Also, keep in mind that Crisis Core was not planned out by this point in time. This is were Genesis made his debut.

.

And finally, Square-Enix has poked fun at a Final Fantasy VII remake. Could they actually mark the twenty fifth anniversary of Final Fantay VII with a HD Remake?

So we could be getting...
> War of the Ancients
> Before Crisis port to the Nintendo 3DS / PS Vita
> Official English translations of Last Order and On the way to a smile.
> A Final Fantasy VII HD Remaster.

But this all just my speculation. None of this is confirmed as official, at all.

Topic

Spoiler:

What are your favourite games by Square that are not FF or KH?
My favourite games made by Square would be some of their older classics. Namely the Chrono franchise. Chrono Cross in my opinion being the superior game because...PARALLEL DIMENSIONS!!!!!! =D Yeah. I am a sucker for anything parallel dimensions and time travel. I'm more interested in Parallel Dimensions / Worlds to be honest, though.

Chrono Trigger is beautiful too. It's pretty damned overrated and it's honestly deserved the overrated title, unlike Chrono Cross being fairly unerrated.

Another game in the Chrono franchise that never made it out of Japan is called BS Radical Dreamers. It's a bit of an interquel between Chrono Trigger and Cross kind of, but it doesn't get covered good, in my opinion. Atleast it did inspire the first visit to Viper Manor in Chrono Cross! :3

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars for the SNES is another classic. This game is probably one of the best games I have ever played. All though I admittedly would not put it near the top of my list of favourite RPG's. It's a shame that Square didn't work with them on Paper Mario or Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, though. With Nintendo's I.P.'s being open for use by third parties, they should definitely team up again and make a sequel to Super Mario RPG!

And finally, Bravely Default! It's got everything for a great RPG! Job System, Well-Developed Characters, something remotely close to free-roaming. It's a spoiler though.

Spoiler:

When you get the airship early in the game. You can go almost anywhere on the world map!

It's one of the best RPG's I have ever played!

 

[Auticorn]

I don't know if it counts as fan made but... probably this:



I love it because it's remixed so perfectly to me. I think it was fan made or something, so I'm pretty sure it counts? O_o

 

[Seth Rollins]

Wasn't active for a while because well...school.

What are your favourite games by Square that are not FF or KH?

Spoiler:

Chrono Trigger of course! I find it very much interesting than Chrono Cross for the following reasons...

Chrono Trigger has 12 endings, and very fun sidequests. It has less characters than Chrono Cross and each have their own sidequests. For me, CT beats CC in terms of story, character developement. CC beats CT at graphics only.

Still it's just my opinion so don't be mad ;(

Theory

Spoiler:

Oooo i have been dying for a FF7 remake. Imagine all those characetrs just like Crisis Core instead of...uhh lego characters. Yeah FF7 sprites looked like lego imo.

Also would be awesome to have Before Crisis in English as I have no idea what happened to Cissnei (yes i have played Crisis Core now.) and...we all would like to know right>?

What was your first Final Fantasy game?Final Fantasy I,for the Nes,i played it a lot before buying my SNES,and keeped playing it.
Final Fantasy games you've owned:All from Nes to PS2.
Choose a FF character to represent you (optional):Chocobo(it's actually considered a character?My sis likes it)

 

[Ultra - Retro Reviver!]

I'm not sure if you would count this but...I played Final Fantasy 1 for NES on a emulator and I had no clue what was going on / what to do at all so I stopped. But then NintendoCapriSun on YouTube started LPing a translation of Final Fantasy IV (hardtype). So I downloaded the patching stuff for FF4 and stopped again when I died in a cave after one hour of wandering around the desert and missing Kaipo EVERY. TIME for one hour. And I didn't save either. I then gave FF1 another try and stopped again. And then I legitimately bought a remake of Final Fantasy IV and loved it and finished it. It still remains today as my favourite Final Fantasy game. So it's either FF1 or FF4. I usually say FF4 though since it was basically the first one I actually gave a legitimate try.

 

[Seth Rollins]

New Topic everyone.

What are your favorite FF pairings?

I'll go with the most obvious ones:

FF7 - CloudxTifa(no fight between CloudxAerith or CloudxTifa x_x)
FF8 - SquallxRinoa (love story >_>)
FF10 - TidusxYuna (even tho Tidus is a goofy imo)

Sorry for not finding a better topic ;_;

EDIT: FORGOT ABOUT THE MOST MOST MOST OVIOUS ONE.

CECILXROSA. (not as obvious as Squall and Rinoa tho)

 

[Auticorn]

What are your favorite FF pairings?

Tidus x Yuna
Serah x Snow
Rikku x Gippal (I always thought they were kind of cute, even though Rikku claims she'd never really date him. XD)
Axel x Roxas Wait, that's not FF, lol fml

I don't have very many, to be honest. If I had to choose my favorite, it would be Serah and Snow. That's like, me and my boyfriend if we were ever in a FF game or something. We even made Serah's theme our song. <3

 

[Austin]

What are your favorite FF pairings?
Cecil x Rosa
Cloud x Tifa
Zack x Aerith
Squall x Rinoa
Zidane x Garnet
Tidus x Yuna
Wakka x Lulu
Snow x Serah (favorite)

Snow and Serah are just plain adorable together.

 

[Ultra - Retro Reviver!]

I think the best pairing in Final Fantasy was Zack X Aerith. Mainly because those two are my favourite (Aerith) and second favourite (Zack) Final Fantasy charcters. A few other adorable pairings are...

Locke x Celes
Cecil x Rosa
Squall x Rinoa
Cloud x Tifa

 

[Juno]

Zack and Aerith is also by far my favorite Final Fantasy couple (as evidenced by my previous signature/avatar set). ♥

 

[タイラー]

Gah, this is a difficult question but here i go:
TidusxYuna
ZidanexGarnet
MustadioxAgrias (Just my honest opinion)

 

[Raine]

Guess I'm the minority here saying that Cloud and Aerith is my favourite Final Fantasy pairing ;; Zack and Aerith would be another; can you tell my favourite female Final Fantasy character is Aerith? c: Amongst more recent characters, the playful relationship between Rikku and Gippal makes me like them as a couple as well.

 

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]

When it comes favorite pairings, I would have to go with these ones:
CecilxRosa
ZackxAerith
SnowxSerah

Course I also like the ones that are teased in Final Fantasy V and Dissidia 012 duodecim Final Fantasy. Course I will put both of them in spoiler tags for those that have not played either of those two games

Spoiler:

BartzxFaris
FirionxLightning

 

[Auticorn]

Am I the only one who likes Gippal x Rikku? ;w; How sad. XD Those two deserve some love because they really are meant for each other.

Also, since there hasn't been a topic here for ages...

Who's your biggest crush(es) in any of the square enix games? Mostly Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts

Mine would be Axel from Kingdom Hearts.

As for my FF list:

Kuja (This one goes waaaaaaaay back for me)
Gippal (obviously XD)
Zack Fair
Sephiroth (Don't ask ;w; )
Snow
Rikku Even though I'm clearly straight. XD

There's probably more, but I can't think of them right now. XD

 

[Seth Rollins]

Crushes huh...oh yes, i had one,

Tifa

I mean come on who doesn't like her. I kinda had a bit of a crush on Aerith and that's pretty much it. I don't have any crushes on the KH games.

 

[Sonata]

Pairing:

TidusxLulu
CloudxYuffie

Crush:
Lulu

 

[Auticorn]

Pairing:

TidusxLulu
CloudxYuffie

Crush:

Wut hell no. Why Lulu x Tidus? Explain please. O_O Still, I'm glad you didn't say Rikku x Tidus. XD I hate that pairing so much. Rikku obviously belongs to Gippal. <3

 

[Austin]

Who's your biggest crush(es) in any of the square enix games?

-Tifa
-Selphie
-Rikku
-Serah
-Aqua

 

[Juno]

I had the biggest crush on Zack after playing Crisis Core. :x
Tidus, and also Beat from TWEWY are also kind of cute in the bumbling sort of way.

 

[Sonata]

Wut hell no. Why Lulu x Tidus? Explain please. O_O Still, I'm glad you didn't say Rikku x Tidus. XD I hate that pairing so much. Rikku obviously belongs to Gippal. <3

Lulu is a hottie and when I played the game I always went for the route that raised her and Tidus' friendship an would have liked that happy ending very much.
