Thanks to Scott Baird of ScreentRants.com for the inspiration! 15. AMARANT There are some Final Fantasy characters who aren’t as important to the story as others. This could be due […]
Thanks to Scott Baird of ScreentRants.com for the inspiration! 9. ZIDANE’S OVERLY DARK BACKSTORY Zidane Tribal was created to be a contrast to the moody protagonists who preceded him. Cloud […]
Recently, Kitase debunked the Squall’s Dead conspiracy theory in an interview. “No, that is not true,” Kitase said, laughing. “I think he was actually stabbed around the shoulder area, so he […]
Most Final Fantasy theories work as alternate explanations to the stories and characters they’re based on. The ‘Squall is Dead’ theory about Squall hallucinating the rest of Final Fantasy VIII […]
I like unlikable characters. I don’t want to play a game where I can get comfortable with the cast. I’m comfortable around my friends, who I like. I don’t need […]
Thanks to WonderWaseda for the inspiration! A while back, I wrote about the multiple theories arising from Final Fantasy VIII, and whether or not they were evidence of terrible or […]
Every Final Fantasy has a young, orphan protagonist skilled in the art of warfare. We can see the Final Fantasy identity and teens can have someone with whom they can […]
Final Fantasy VIII isn’t a very easy game to get into; monsters level up with you, junctioning is confusing, the story and characters are strange, etc. Many people find this […]
How about a full remake of VIII including ~400 or more SeeD “missions”? They would be like the missions in Crisis Core. Solo missions or team missions with every party […]
In the Western version of Final Fantasy VIII, Squall says “whatever’. This has become somewhat of a meme. But in the Japanese version, his responses are more varied. Tumblr dilkashi […]
I was sure that Final Fantasy VII was to end on an ambiguous note. Did they survive? Did the all perish? The Final Fantasy VII Remake is going to miss […]
There’s an odd scene in Final Fantasy VIII, when you go visit the Shumi village… Elder’s Attendant: The Elder will not present you with a gift. Elder: For your services, […]
Gogo’s a mysterious character. No one really knows who Gogo is, or even their gender. But it hasn’t stopped fans from guessing. Some theories involve Siegfried, Banon, General Leo, Emperor […]
Ultimecia was a strange villain. We don’t really know much of her actual plan, except for to become a “living god”. Otherwise, she was kinda weird. The Dissidia games don’t […]
Thanks to Thelassa for the inspiration! The idea of time is a persistent theme in Final Fantasy VIII. And apparently, time is used to support the Rinoa is Ultimecia theory, […]
There’s something seriously off about the protagonists of Final Fantasy VIII. They’re not “sociopaths”, “psychopaths”, or whatever. It’s that they aren’t really persons. First, people correctly point out that Squall […]
Most of the Final Fantasy games a character, usually the flagship, with a meteorological name. Why do they do this? I guess in a ham-fisted way, to inform the player […]
Last Thursday, Schwahn and I had an off-topic discussion about my posts: They are just getting frequent and often lose direction. I didn’t mind Aspilante’s posts. But others did. Your posts already […]
Probably one of the greatest mini-games in the Final Fantasy series was cards. Who would have thought to see a card game in a video game? And those games are […]
The weapon collecting, dimension hopping, self-proclaimed “legendary swordsman”. Although possessing the body of a fiend, he holds a strong sense of loyalty and compassion. —Description Gilgamesh is Ex-Death’s right-hand man, […]
Searching the web for even more material on the Squall’s Dead theory, I came across this post. The author’s theory is pretty abstract, but the basic gist is two-fold. The […]
Final Fantasy VII is one of the most iconic JRPGs of all time. Final Fantasy X-2, on the other hand, was a bit more contentious. Suggesting the former connects through […]
But if you can think it, it doesn’t mean it is. What is St. Anselm’s argument? It is a conceptual truth (or, so to speak, true by definition) that God […]
Recently, Kitase debunked the Rinoa is Ultimecia conspiracy theory in an interview. “No, that is not true,” Kitase said. “I don’t think I’ll incorporate that even if we do remake the […]
Not is but can, as in able. Square Enix could take elements from Brave Exvius for the next Final Fantasy game: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is a free-to-play role-playing game developed by A-Lim […]
This isn’t satirical. This goes beyond a cross-dressing like in Final Fantasy VII: A puzzle in Wall Market involves Cloud collecting various articles of female attire to audition as the […]
Ultimecia: Reflect on your…childhood…your sensation…your words…your emotions…….Time…it will not wait…no matter…how hard you hold on…it escapes you…and……. ……you can never get it back? Seems to fit with the idea of […]
Thanks to Sepaphor for the inspiration! To show how almost any theory could fall for the “dead theory”, let’s take a variation of the Squall Dead theory, using Cloud: Basically, after […]
I doubled majored in Art and Philosophy in college. When I graduated, I sat around thinking about unemployment. Elucidating the philosophical ramifications of majoring in philosophy is not fun. Luckily, […]
Thanks to exdeath1987 for the inspiration! One of the comments struck my interests: What gets me is when people pretend the monsters post-death are totally different than the monsters before […]
The Theory That the Knights of the Round, the thirteen knights behind the most powerful summon materia in Final Fantasy VII, are not only Cetras, but fought Jenova 1,000 years […]
Thanks to RebeccaETripp for the inspiration! A philosophical zombie or p-zombie in the philosophy of mind and perception is a hypothetical being. This being is indistinguishable from a normal human […]
In World of Final Fantasy, they gave Quistis Trepe a British accent. That was as surprising as not giving Faris a pirate accent. We generally know what Squall and Selphie […]
Thanks to ParagonEsquire for the inspiration! I agree, Tidus probably is one of the most heroic Final Fantasy protagonist from the entire franchise. As ParagonEsquire puts it: He has little […]
One of the main criticism I hear about Final Fantasy VIII’s story is the dreaded orphanage scene. People cringe. The scene seems all too convenient, and almost everyone views it […]
The point of this game is to connect two different things in six steps or fewer. They can be two names, a name, and a place, a name/place, and an […]
How was your high school experience? Mine was boring. All I did was learn, eat and occasionally sleep. I didn’t join any clubs or sports, I had a few friends, […]
Ah school. I didn’t care for it. I’ve had a dream about Final Fantasy VIII sometime before going back to school: Squall, Seifer, probably Zell and I run around in […]
Why don’t some people like Squall Leonhart? Ironically, even many of the more introverted people here cite him being extremely introverted. During the game Squall narrates his thoughts and feelings […]
Thanks to Memorphous for the inspiration! Zidane is dead. During the end scene, after the battle with Necron, Zidane runs after Kuja to save him from the Iifa Tree. He’s […]
