FADE IN/OUT VIDEO FINAL FANTASY I AS BACKGROUND FOR HOSTS WHILE DISCUSSING

FADE IN/OUT MUSIC FOR THE DISCUSSION

ALBIE Whats cool about final fantasy 1 is the freedom to choose and name characters at will in before the game starts, FADE IN/OUT CHARACTER CREATION PORTION OF THE GAME You can choose from warrior, thief, monk, mage, or white mage, to form a 4-man team which you will use all throughout the game. Of course, as many would know, the warrior class focuses on strength and a well-rounded defense.

FADE IN/OUT VIDEO CLIPS OF WARRIOR CLASS (1min)

The warrior can withstand a lot of enemy attacks as he is also able to dish out powerful blows against foes. Later in

the game, the warrior turns into a knight and will be able to use white magic at certain levels. The thief on the other hand, focuses on speed with an acceptable amount of strength. Not as strong as the warrior though. The thief can be a life saver since he has an admirable amount of speed, he can attack before everybody else does, and the best part is that he can use items to save team mates before they could even be attacked by a killing blow.

FADE IN/OUT VIDEO CLIPS OF THIEF CLASS (45secs)

The thief class can help the party a lot in a lot of troubling moments facing off different kinds of monsters. Later in the game, he turns into a ninja and is able t use black magic but not as high leveled as the mage's magic. The mage is the powerhouse of the party, a lot of people would not disregard having a mage in the party as he is the character capable of dealing maximal damages !

FADE IN/OUT VIDEO CLIPS OF MAGE (1min)

The mage can release powerful spells that could even wipe out an entire flock of enemy at once, he is the source of the scariest amount of damage to deal with. The bad news is that mages have very low defense rate that makes them really easy to kill. Moving on with the game, the mage becomes a wizard who is able to use higher levels of black

magic which are far more bloody than the mage's. The monk is a strenght based class with not much defense.

FADE IN/OUT VIDEO CLIPS OF MONK (1min)

This barehanded warrior faces off monsters and dealing them with admirable amount of damage. Most gamers would not go for this because of the limits and because a warrior or a thief class would go better off than this class. Whats admirable about him is only his strength. The next step of the monk is the master where he gains greater strength but cannot use any magic at all. The white mage is the heart of the party, she is the healer. She keeps the party safe and if ever one would fall in battle, she is able to raise them once again from battle. Gamers would find this class extremely useful because of its white magic,

FADE IN/OUT VIDEO CLIPS FOR PRIEST (50secs)

Gamers would save a lot of money for not buying too much items such as potions and phoenix down which is for resurrecting. When the white mage falls down in boss battles, the whole party might as well fall at certain chances. The white mage turns into a priest later in the game which unlocks more powerful levels of white magic which gives greater assurance in keeping the party alive !

Final fantasy 1 had given so much enjoyment to players during the ps1 days, and because of that,

FADE IN/OUT VIDEO CLIPS OF FINAL FANTASY 1 FOR PSP (30secs)

Square enix released a psp verion of the game. The company decided to maintain the 2d graphics of the game with a few improvements on it to preserve its classic trait for the years to come.

Once it is full, that means that the character is ready for action. The higher the speed of the character, the faster fills. Each character has their own unique features. In the beginning of the game, cloud will be teaming up with barret who is his friend in the eco terrorism,

Magic here are in forms of item which must be equipped by character, these items are called "materia".

Yuna's special dress sphere is the floral fallal. Shifting into the special dress sphere can only be made possible in the battle field by jumping on all equipped dress spheres during the fight. As you can see, when yuna uses the special dress sphere, the rikku and pain goes away from the battle, that is because special dress spheres are 3 in 1. It acts as a party of 3 during battle. In floral fallal, yuna turns into an ellegant, gigantic, white flower with yuna on the middle. This form may look so delicate, but it is actually a powerful killing machine once it is used!

-FADE IN/OUT SOUNDTRACK FOR TRIVIA PORTION

ALBIE Lets start off in our first trivia that all of you should know....

-FADE IN/OUT SOME VIDEO CLIPS FROM FINAL FANTASY SERIES (1min)

Where the hell did the title "final fantasy" came from? The name final fantasy came from the sense of desperation square felt back in the 80s, it was a last ditch attempt to make the game and it was an all through out success ! Yes, it's called "final fantasy." yes, there are 14 of them. Noticing the inherent contradiction of that doesn't make you cleverlook, it's a japanese series, and as far as japanese titles using english words go this is probably the most mild offender possible. Besides, everyone should know by now that it was called "final fantasy" because when the original game was first developed, square was in dire financial straits and everyone figured it was probably the last game they'd ever make. Obviously that wasn't the case. So it goes.

FADE IN/OUT TRANSITION TO NEXT TRIVIA (2secs)

Another fact is that someone named cid is in every game,

FADE IN/OUT VIDEO CLIPS WITH APPEARANCES OF CID IN EVERY GAME (1min)

And his name may or may not be a pun. Yes, its very all rounded genius, cid ! If you've played a final fantasy game, you've met a guy named cid. He's a series mainstay, possibly a reference to historical figure el cid, possibly a pun on the japanese word for discipline "shito," which is similar to "shido," the literal reading of his japanese name. Either way, he's never the exact same guy from title to title, but he always represents wisdom, science, and knowledge. "but wait!" you say. "there was no cid in the original final fantasy! The first was in final fantasy ii!" true enough, but the gba and psp remakes of that game have squeezed him into its backstory as the man responsible for inventing the airship.

This unseen cid is actually a key figure in dissidia final fantasy.

Another thing that you may have noticed is that the series has a tendency to name its characters for meteorological effects celes, as in celestial; cloud, as in those fluffy white things in the sky; squall, as in a sudden, violent storm; tidus, as in tide; vaan, as in "vent," the french word for wind;

lightning, as in those flashes of electricity you see during a storm.

The original game is very, very closely inspired by d&d.

-FADE IN/OUT VIDEO CLIPS FROM DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS (50secs)

Final fantasy might as well have called itself "dungeons & dragons: we filed off the serial numbers edition." its class system and magic spells were practically drawn straight from the tabletop game. Certain monsters were even more blatant rips. The "sorcerer" was simply a weaksauce version of d&d's ilithid, and the death eye was even worse: in the game's original japanese release, it looked so much like d&d's iconic beholders that square meekly redesigned it before bringing the game to the u.s.

Show up almost as often. Sometimes cloud strife shows up in a spin-off game. But only one character appears as himself across multiple core final fantasy games: gilgamesh.

Originally exdeath's lieutenant in final fantasy v, gilgamesh was flung into the extra-dimensional void; this gave him license to pop up in multiple final fantasy worlds, where his search for a set of legendary weapons could continue. His first cameo was in final fantasy viii, where he could be summoned as an alternate to odin; since then, he's appeared in multiple final fantasies, even having been added into remakes of the first and sixth games in the series. And yeah, this isn't just idle speculation; dissidia confirms that there's just one gilgamesh spanning time and games.

We can also learn many things from the ff series ! Final fantasy makes you more conversant in classical literature and world culture. Final fantasy makes you smarter! Not only do you learn how to develop strategies, you also expand your knowledge of world religions and culture. Take, for instance, golbez's four fiends from final fantasy iv, which are based on demons called malebranche that appeared in dante's inferno. This wasn't immediately evident in the original translation of the game, since the likes of barbariccia and scarmiglione were rendered in english as valvalis and milon. Even adjusted for localization mishaps, you still shouldn't take this book learnin' entirely at face value;

Sometimes called zeninage. This is a reference to a popular series of japanese novels from the 1930s about a policeman in medieval japan named zenigata heiji,

Who captured criminals by throwing money at them. Final fantasy isn't the only game to make this reference, either; konami's ganbare goemon that was set in the same approximate time as the zenigata novels also lets you chuck money to win. Oh yeah, and if you think you'd heard the name zenigata before, it's probably because manga creator monkey punch borrowed the name for the persistent, jean valjean-like inspector zenigata in the lupin iii novels -- a reference intended to complement the literary nod in the thieving protagonist's own name. We'll be right back after the break.

Final fantasy ii is the only game in the series that doesn't use the standard magic system. Final fantasy ii does a lot of things differently from the rest of the series, but nowhere is that more evident than in its spell system.

Where other games properly use a tiered suffix system for example, cure/cura/curaga/curaja, final fantasy ii simply gave you spells and let you power them up through 16 tiers. There's no curaga, merely cure level 10.

It merely means you've played final fantasy tactics, whose introduction features armed warriors riding giant birds into
