  • 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....

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<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>
