Every franchise has 'em. The Metal Gear Solid series has it's torture scenes, Legend of Zelda usually had an easter egg involving chickens, etc. They're the threads that hold the separate games together, the defining features, if you will. Of all the franchises I've ever played, however, Final Fantasy has the most. Ranging from recurring characters such as Cid and Gilgamesh to recurring weapons like Ragnarok and Excalibur, this franchise is packed with similarites (which is ironic since every game [save a few] take place in completely different worlds].
The reason I bring this up is that I am making an FF Fan Game *dodges incoming projectiles* and would like to know what recurring themes you've come to expect from a Final Fantasy and which ones you would rather have left out. Also note, the battle is somewhere between FFIV FFV and FFVI. There are going to be random battles. I will not take them out.
Discuss!
