Thirty years now have passed since the first Final Fantasy game was released.
Therefore, I thought, in the spirit of the warriors of light we could rekindle that
esprit, review the games, with the perception of the past as well with the thoughts
of the present, and maybe we can celebrate the good times, which will create for
some or perhaps even more a delight.

end in some hilarious confusions.

who follow orders in their own way.

Number Nine
09. Vivi and Quina getting married in Conde Petie in FF IX. I mean, that must
be the funniest video game scene ever.

Number Eight
08. The dwarves in FF I and in FF IV. In FF I they construct a canal and with
a bit of TNT, provided by the party, they finish the job. Thus, opening the entire
world to the party. In FF IV they help quite a lot as they fight of the Red Wings
in the subterranean world and draw attention, so the party can sneak into the
Tower of Babil. In FF V the long lost Dwarf Kingdom lies at the bottom of the
ocean at the Great Trench with only a few residents living at that spot. There is
also Mithril Town, which inhabitants frogs, beavers and miniature people in FF IV.

Number Seven

Number Six

Kefka

Number Five
05. Steiner and Zidane argumenting over which turn to choose or what is best for
Garnet in FF IX.

Number Four
04. Lagunas cramp, his troop in general on their missions, his acting in a movie,
involving a real life dragon, not a life sized model as he assumes and the fight
against Cactor in FF VIII.

Number Three
03. King Gorn going mad, splitting his army in two and force them to fight each
other to the death in FF III.

Number Two
02. Odins (who cannot be beaten) fight against Cifer, whom splits him open in
FF VIII.

Number One
01. The Fight against Gilgamesh at the Big (A) Bridge (too far) in FF V.

Starkle, starkle little twink . . . Now its time that you guys SINK!!!

Hasta la bye bye!

Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And
ladies who dress like men!

Crystal so that the party can escape, the entrapment of Zeza in the Barrier Tower
and the shattering of the Crystals in FF V.

01. That it was possible, with so little technical capabilities as the NES, to create
such a vast game as FF I, FF II and F III, and with the SNES FF IV, FF V and
FF VI and then with the PSone a jump to three dimensional was made, in which
FMV took place with no extra loading time on top with an incredible soundtrack.

All that matters is whats inside us.

15

7 The most defining moments
Each of these elements that were introduced enriched the role playing gaming in-
dustry by far.

Aeris:
Cloud . . . Im searching for you.

Cloud:
. . . . . . . . . ?

Aeris:
I want to meet you.

Cloud:
But Im right here.

Aeris:
(I know, I know . . . what I mean is . . . ) I want to meet . . . you.

Number Twelve
12. The beginning of FF I, because it began everything with that.

Number Eleven
11. The introduction of the legendary Cid and the Chocobo in FF II and the in-
troducing of the ATB system in FF IV.

Number Ten
10. The birth of the summoning magic in FF III.

Number Nine
09. The fight against Demon Wall in the Sealed Cave in FF IV and Atmos in
FF V (because both were a new way of creating pressure inside the game onto the
player).

introduction of super enemies in general.

the Ballroom dance of Squall and Rinoa (although it might be falling through
time) in FF VIII. Prior to that NonPlayer Characters would sometimes do a
routine, which can be thought of as a pre stage of a FMV.

18

an originally song sung by Risa Ohki called Terras Theme or Terras Melodie:

Terras Theme, Terras Melodie

Tina No Tema

Haruka Tooku Yoru O Koete

Sabaku No Umi O Samayou

Kami No Koe Wa Shinkirou

Wasurerareta Hitobito

Kage Wa Shiroku Yurameki Tatsu

Ima Hitotabi No Maboroshi

Aoku Moeru Yuusha No Yume

Towa Ni Nemuru Hitobito

The starting violins at this point are incredibly fantastic.

So many stories, so many characters, so many tragedies, . . .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNefNLOHVYk

Whenever sang my songs,

On the stage, on my own,
Whenever said my words,
Wishing they would be heard,
I saw you smiling at me,
Was it real or just my fantasy,
Youd always be there in the corner,
Of this tiny little bar,

My last night here for you,

Same old songs, just once more,
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no,
I kind of liked it your way,
How you shyly placed your eyes on me,

Oh, did you ever know?

That I had mine on you,

Darling, so there you are,

With that look on your face,
As if youre never hurt,
As if youre never down,
Shall I be the one for you,
Who pinches you softly but sure,
If frown is shown then,
I will know that you are no dreamer,

So let me come to you,

Close as I wanted to be,
Close enough for me,
To feel your heart beating fast,
And stay there as I whisper,

How I loved your peaceful eyes on me,

did you ever know,

21
That I had mine on you,

Darling, so share with me,

Your love if you have enough,
Your tears if yourre holding back,
Or pain if thats what it is,
How can I let you know,
Im more than the dress and the voice,
Just reach me out then,
You will know that youre not dreaming,

Darling, so there you are,

With that look on your face,
As if youre never hurt,
As if youre never down,
Shall I be the one for you,
Who pinches you softly but sure,
If frown is shown then,
I will know that you are no dreamer.
