The FF Storyline

Thy_Dungeonman · 02-10-2004, 09:00 PM

Alright, I know most people think that every FF (Final Fantasy) game is completely different. However, when you look at the series you can find ways to link each one together. For example, in Final Fantasy X-2 you learn about a war between machines and summoners *cough* FF VI *cough*. Also in FF1 you fight a boss called Chaos who's some kind of evil demon... thingy (I don't know much about this so correct me if I'm wrong) and in FF Tactics (this is pure speculation mind you) they are trying to revive an evil demon... These are both medieval type time-based which appears to be a common theme throughout 1-5 and Tactics. Tactics Advance, being an imaginary world doesn't really fit at all. Now back to X-2. In X-2 there is an Al-Bhed boy named Shinra who invents many things and is a super-genious. His ideas could eventually lead to the creation of Shinra from FF7. These are a few of my ideas. I have played every FF game, but I haven't beaten any (I kinda lose interest after a while), so if you notice any flaws in my theories, or have any of your own, feel free to post your ideas here.

Uh...wow, who really cares? You know altogether too much about final fantasy. Unless this is you:

In which case I understand.

Lighten up anti,

On a easier note, they all seem to:

- Have the main plot as saving the world
- Have chocobos
- Have moogles
- Have summons
- Have a character named "Cid" who always has a somewhat important role.

Also, a few have the Vicks and Wedge characters.

Isn't it Biggs and Wedge? Also, in FF1, and 9...and I think a few more, there's the 4 Guardians of fire, earth, water and wind. Four, things that open up a magic happy land (FF9=That.... Place... Either Crystal Land or that Gaia place.... FF1=Final Dungeon, back in time)

ps. slut

Well, the Final Fantasy games are not [i]direct[i] sequels (save X-2). Though they do share similarities. It is these similarities that make it Final Fantasy.

makaveli121212 · 02-11-2004, 06:24 PM

hey is that final fantasy movie have anything to do with the video games...sorry dont know where else to ask

02-11-2004, 07:59 PM

Probable timeline. I have reasoning for this.

Final Fantasy I
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy VII

makaveli121212 · 02-11-2004, 08:06 PM

what about the movie

VxDx · 02-11-2004, 08:35 PM

well, it sucked, and so do the games, so yeah, I think they are related.

makaveli121212 · 02-11-2004, 08:38 PM

i thought the movie looked really good...like sometimes i couldnt tell if they were real people or not...but yes the movie did kinda suck

Anticrombie0909 · 02-11-2004, 08:52 PM

The movie would have been far better if
A: There was some element of Final Fantasy actually in it
B: There was more shooting stuff
C: There was less everything else
D: It didn't get all spiritual and wierd

Although I will admit the CG was excellent...put the Matrix to shame...

Jordy0823 · 02-11-2004, 09:10 PM

r we talking about the first FF movie?? or Advent Children (or w/e its called) or am i thinking of Kingdom Hearts?? im so confused

my friend tells me that some japanese guy with this huge japanese name with "cid" as the first 3 letters wrote most of FF1, but died before it was released, and as a tribute to him, every game has a Cid.

could be wrong, though.

Feuergeist · 02-11-2004, 11:34 PM

Advent Children will fucking rock.

**SpookG** · 02-11-2004, 11:37 PM

there was a cid in the movie too

**Snapps** · 02-11-2004, 11:44 PM

I know they all have the word Final Fantasy in the title. That should help much. And if it doesnt well you can shove it, really, really...really far somewhere!

**Cenright** · 02-12-2004, 12:09 AM

You know, I love the games, but it seems like there could only be one FINAL fantasy right? When is there the FINAL one?

peregrine · 02-13-2004, 06:58 AM

Uh, guys... haven't you ever heard of a tradtion? The FF games have self-allusions because old-timer gamers will get all nostalgic about them (trust me, I know they do cuz I do). Think of it as an inside joke.

Interesting theory on the connection of FF's, but they're all (cept X and X2) meant to standalone games.... now if Square just comes out and makes a game that relates all the other games and shows them to be connected, I'll rescind what I said.

btw.. concerning "Final" Fantasy: I can't ensure the validity of this too much, but what I've heard is that Square was having some trouble and about to go under so the last game they had planned to release was dubbed "Final Fantasy." Like I said, I don't know if that's true or not, but it's a rumor. (if you can confirm this, PM me, I'd like to know for sure).

makaveli121212 · 02-13-2004, 10:26 AM

its square-enix now theyll be in business for a long time
