I've been playing through Final Fantasy III again over the past couple of months, little by little. I actually discovered something new that I didn't know about before, a fairly major plot twist....

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Watching all of Shadows dreams, something I have never done. He, Clyde, begins by meeting Baram, they then rob a train or something and Clyde becomes Shadow. The next dream has them in a cave where Baram wants Shadow to stab him, Shadow doesn't do it. Then the next dream he ends up in Thamasa and meets a girl, they have a child together, a girl, and Shadow leaves her. We all knew there was a relation between Shadow and Relm because Interceptor only likes Shadow and Relm, plus there are a few other scenes. I never really thought much on this, but Shadow is Relm's father. I'm probably one of the last people to find this, but at least I found something new in a 10 year old game that I've always liked.</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah you're extra late. lol</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Only 10 years.... Hey I'm sure I'm not the only one who hadn't stumbled across this yet! =)</div>

[Don]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>There's an artifact called Memento Ring (which I think is on Relm) that only Relm and Shadow can equip should clue you too. :)</div>

[Mental (The Shrine ate my]

<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>Heh. I love that game. I was always proud that I'd gotten all of Mog's dances. The Water Rondo is a bitch to get.</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I don't get why Final Fantasy VI doesn't get this kind of respect. It was just as dramatic if not more then FFVI. And it had Kain, he was just awesome. lol.</div>

[Don]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Kain was FF2(4j).</div>

[Don]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You've to give up the Gold Hairpin (rescue mog instead of the other guy) to get it, plus you've to walk through a bunch of places to get to that underwater area (and then walk back!)</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You're not serious are you? Final Fantasy III is lightyears ahead of FFII in almost every aspect.</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Can we please just use the original Japanese numbers for the FF series as a standard? It's a lot less confusing.</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>I remember when one first just happened and i was like, "What the heck was that about?" only to realize and then become to addicted to seeing them all to know his past. I love the little gems like this in FF3, things like this mixed in with the fact that i played this game in my gaming prime atleast 10 times gives it a little place in my heart. Best, FF, ever. ^_^</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Nah, there's too much tradition, love, and habit behind calling it anything other than Final Fantasy III now for a lot of people to ever change. The game we grew up loving was Final Fantasy III.</div>

[Lox]

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I looked those up in a walk-through one time. I thought that was pretty sweet. :)</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Seriously. I almost got bored with all of the characters dying then coming back to life. This happened, what, 5-6 times?</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I favor calling it FF3e or FF6j or whatever.</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I've actually been doing that for a long time now.</div>

[Tortolia]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I liked Kain a lot more before I realized that he was Square's prototype for the dark, brooding, mopey hero who done fucked up and gets all standoffish about it (as seen in, oh, most later FFs). At least Cecil sucked it up and moved on.</div>

[Torgo]

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I though that went without saying here.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>If we're going to do that, at least quit using the Roman numerials. There's a reason why the Huns didn't adopt the system.</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I don't really like Roman Numerals either (They are kind of ugly in comparison to our standard system), but I use them when refering to the North American versions of Final Fantasy II and III out of habit.</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Have you ever tried to go back and use items in FFII after playing newer ones? It takes forever, once you use one item the menu closes, you have to go back to the menu, re-select the item again to use it again, each time. It gets to be a huge pain when you have to use a cure potion 30-40 times.</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I like Roman numerals for titles - I think "Final Fantasy II" looks better than "Final Fantasy 2" - but not for regular conversation. If someone types FFVIII, I have to stop and check to see if that's FF7 or FF8.</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Well, the unspoken memo didn't reach Seeker, apparently : )</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>BECAVSE THEY WERE STVPID, VNCVLTVRED BARBARIANS!</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>You don't even need that distinction anymore since FF2, FF3, and FF5 have all been re-released in the States under their original Japanese numbers.</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>You don't even need that distinction anymore since FF2e, FF3e, and FF5 have all been re-released in the States under their original Japanese numbers.</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>You're nit picking, SERIOUSLY nitpicking.</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>That was a no brainer for me; I'd much rather have Mog than an item. But his dances aren't all that useful, I just liked his character.</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>In any other game it would take about 4 seconds. In Final Fantasy II it takes about 5 minutes. That's hardly nitpicking, that is a huge annoyance with the game that I have.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Have they really been calling FF2=FF4 and FF3=FF6?</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>The collections on the PSX all renamed them to their original Jap names</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Didn't they only sell like 5000 copies each though?</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Someone failed Ancient history.</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I received a memo, it says Gentz is a fanboy. =)</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Maybe out where you are. They all went to the PSX Greatest Hits, which means they sold at least 250,000 each. That's why they're easy to find. It's not like Panzer Saga, which sold between 5,000 - 10,000 and it worth $200 US</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>When people talk about sales, it generally is for the entire continent of North America.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Wow, Sine, we REALLY need a sarcasm tag</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Do you even know the definition of sarcasm? Perhaps you should first invest in a dictionary, otherwise the tag would do you no good.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Aye. He's been calling on sarcasm on a lot of useless things.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>And somebody failed Monty Python, Biggus Diccus.</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>If I could understand half the words they were saying in that movie, then I would have passed =)</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>SIVENCE!</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Heh. And you're not? Earth to Seeker: YOU POST AT AN RPG MESSAGE BOARD!</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You don't have to be a fanboy to post on an RPG messageboard, most people here aren't. Also, I'm no fanboy, I'd think my arguments against Japanese voice acting and using the North American names for videogames instead of the Japanese ones would be proof enough for that.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>You don't know me well, I'm ALWAYS sarcastic</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>That's because I always am. Just ask Gray</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>You're a Nintendo fanboy in case you haven't noticed.</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>A what? A fanboy is a non-Japanese person who is obsessed with Japan and Japanese culture.</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Fanboy is a term to just describe someone who's passionate about whatever. Whatever you put in front of the actual word is what the person is passionate about, ie Nintendo Fanboy, Sony Fanboy, DBZ fanboy, Nvidia fanboys, etc. You're thinking about Otakus. Don't deny your fanboy heritage!</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Otaku is the fanboy word for fanboy, they prefer a Japanese word, very typical of their sub-culture.</div>
