One of these things is not like the other

[Del Murder]

What things do ALL the numbered FFs have in common (I-XI)? Let's list them. It could be something silly or meaningful. I'll start.

Airships.

[Faith]

Cid....i think

[Del Murder]

Cid was not in FFI, and I can not be sure if he was in FFXI.

[Rase]

Fire/Ice/Lit spells?

[Necronopticous]

I can not be sure if he was in FFXI.He is.

[Yuffie514]

although it may be a Job, some characters are actually thieves. does that count?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Cid was not in FFI.He's in one version of the game.

[Faith]

just a guess....biggs and wedge?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

They've only been in 1/5 of the games.

[Craig]

Uh, Bahamut?

[Dreddz]

a villain

[Ultima Shadow]

The "Item" command. :greenie:

[Zante]

Magic

[Alexander]

A main character? *shot* I don't think that FFI and FFIII match well in this one XD

[Christmas]

Swords...All kind of swords...Huge one...Long one....and one that is attached to a gun...

[Alexander]

Holy and Flare.

[Christmas]

How can we forget? The Almighty classic "Fight/Attack" command.

[Del Murder]

The ability to run from battles.

[Hinky the Pickle]

I think Bombs have been in every FF to date as well (the monsters I mean).

[Wiegrahf42]

Healing magic. Potions. Evil People. Leveling up. Battles. Bosses. Dungeons. monsters.

[Rase]

Victory dances.

[RedCydranth]

That oh so sweet victory music. (I think its in all of them...)

[Magaso]

Masamune and NPC's?

[Alexander]

Healing magic. Potions. Evil People. Leveling up. Battles. Bosses. Dungeons. monsters.

You don't truly level up in FFII and FFX. XD

[KoShiatar]

Status alterations.

[rubah]

imps.
royalty.

[Snap Jumper]

Towns, inns, shops that won't even give you a discount even though in many, you're saving the world, dragons....

[Craig]

A main character? *shot* I don't think that FFI and FFIII match well in this one XD

Neither does VI.

[Snap Jumper]

Neither does VI.

Or 5 for that matter.

[Yuffie514]

That oh so sweet victory music. (I think its in all of them...)

it's not in XI. and if there is victory fanfare, it's not been the same since FFX. :( :cry:

[DJZen]

Poison and Petrification.

[Alexander]

Haste and Slow.

[Kakashi509]

[Alexander]

Flee. XD

[Kakashi509]

[Alexander]

Death. The magic and when your character die. XD

[Christmas]

Life.

[Crossblades]

Cid was not in FFI

Although he wan't there personally, they did mention him. So yeah, FF I counts

[Crossblades]

Imp
Holy
Flare

[Hroth]

Well... for one, they all had characters, a storyline and some awesome music.

[DJZen]

Cid was not in FFI

Although he wan't there personally, they did mention him. So yeah, FF I counts

...Sort of...

He wasn't mentioned until Dawn of Souls. In Origins and the NES version he wasn't mentioned at all.

[Kakashi509]

they all have limit breaks or summonings

[RedCydranth]

they all have limit breaks or summonings


Nope. No they didn't.

[FoxHoundx25]

they're all called Final Fantasy....which is kinda wierd, one of the longest and best chain of games....

they also usually involve the earth blowing up and the universe dying

[Magaso]

they all have limit breaks or summonings
He Obviously never played any of the FF's before 7.

[Snap Jumper]

they all have limit breaks or summonings

NES FF1: Limit breaks: When your patience hits your limit, you break the controller. Summonings: "I'm stuck. I'll go get my brother."

[ljkkjlcm9]

let's see, no Holy in FF1
No flare in FF1 originally, but i guess Nuke is flare if you want
definitely no Cid in FF1
Definitely no main characters in 1, 3, 6 (even technically 2, 5)
definitely no limit breaks before 7 (unless you include 6 but eh)

No summon until FF3
earth doesn't blow up (or change it all or is threatened of being changed at all) in F1,2,3,4... or universe die in 1,2,3,6,7,8

Was there Imp after 6?(enemy or spell) I don't remember....

I don't remember bombs in ff1... except the TNT

let's see, an FF constant huh, how about music... male and female characters (not necesarilly PCs..2,3) Fighting classes and magic classes and balanced classes(classes/characters)
Potions, Inns, Item shops, weapon shops, magic shops,

OOOO.... goodguys that become bad or bad guys that become good

And they all have an ending!

ff6 had both summons and a type of 'limit break'

[Alexander]

NUKE is Flare.
And FADE is Holy. XD

[KuRt]

Chocobos. Not so sure about 1, 2 and 3 but every else atleast..

[Lon611]

[rubah]

They had them in ff2 for shya~

[Cless]

A band of people working together to overcome adversity.

[DJZen]

OOOO.... goodguys that become bad or bad guys that become good

*thinks*

Hmmm, I think you might be onto something...

FFI: Garland
FFII: Lionheart
FFIII: I never got that far in FFIII
FFIV: Golbez and Kain
FFV: I never got far in FFV either
FFVI: hmmmm... Shadow... sorta...
FFVII: Sephiroth, Reeve, and Heidegger :love:
FFVIII: Edea? Maybe... I'm NOT counting Rinoa!
FFIX: Amarant and Lani come to mind, but the obvious one is Queen Brahne.
FFX: Does becoming Sin count?
FFX-2: Never played it.
FFXI: not far enough into the plot to know.
FFCC: The dark knight I guess
FFMQ: No one that I can recall offhand...
FFT: Never got that far in it
FFTA: I'd go with Mewt for this one.

[Buccura]

In some way or anouther theres a crystal.... or is there?

[Cless]

Oh, oh, I've got one! A long lifespan. It should take at least thirty hours first time through for each one.

[Desert Merchant]

strippers

[Rase]

Towns.

[abrojtm]

-The fact that no matter how many times you rest in that Inn, that emminent plot event that is supposed to happen at _____ o'clock won't happen until you make it. (i.e. The North Bridge is built, Emperor destroys some city, etc).

-Pressing the action button to trigger events.

-The ability for at least one character to use a sword (I guess this has already been mentioned :rolleyes2 )

[Reles]

Moogles? Maybe?

[Takara]

Battle Themes.
Boss Battle Themes.
The Crystal Theme, I guess. Correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't played X, X-2, XI, CC, or TA yet.
The ability to name/rename characters, or at least the main one? Can't remember if you cool rename Firion in II, and again, correct me if I'm wrong about X/X-2/XI/CC/TA.
Ultima weapon? Pretty sure there's one if every game, albeit probably named differently in some.
Airship Themes!

[Tai-Ti]

The ability to name/rename characters, or at least the main one? Can't remember if you cool rename Firion in II, and again, correct me if I'm wrong about X/X-2/XI/CC/TA.
I only know that you cant rename Yuna in X-2

well let's see, in FFVI i was definitely thinking Celes going from bad to good, and Leo being on the bad side but ending up fighting on the good side until..., and FFVII I was definitely thinking Sephiroth being the best person in soldier then going crazu and becoming a bad dude.

THE JACKEL

[Del Murder]

FFV: Gilgamesh
FFX: Yunalesca, the Maesters
FFT: Algus, even Delita you could say, Malak, a lot from this game actually
