80 reoccurring Final Fantasy appearances
Right so this is 50 things that can be found in most of or all of final fantasy. Don't be afraid to go higher. Post more things you notice about the games that really stick out. Don't forget to number them. I have 50 things, how many more can you think of?
1. Chocobo - Rather it's Yellow, Blue, Green, Red, White, Black, Silver or Gold a chocobo is one of Final Fantasy's most memorable creature. It is a really big bird! Kweek!
2. Excalibur - A holy blade said to be a legendary weapon almost always exists in Final Fantasy. You can look forward to seeing more weapons like this but nothing seems to be more of a trademark then this weapon.
3. Airships - From Final Fantasy I all the way to Final Fantasy XIII there was a major means to have an airship. I know there are ships in XIII but none that allow full transportation around the globe.
4 ATB (Active Time Battle) - Almost every Final Fantasy game has a form of active battle. This makes it so you have to wait for your turn to attack an enemy or heal yourself.
5. Bahamut - A dragon who strikes with non-elemental damage and ignores defense. This creature is in them all. He is the one who enhances your jobs in final fantasy I.
6. Moogles - One of the creatures that can cross time and to other world is no other then Mog! He is a good creature and has helped many lead characters throughout the series.
7. Ifrit - A summon/aeon/esper/airship/eidolon master of fire magic. He is almost always a early summon you can get. He helps all the way too be very useful.
8. Shiva - Like Ifrit she is an early summon. She usually uses diamond dust. There are sometimes Moments where she has a sister like in Final Fantasy XIII.
9. Odin - He comes in the form of a king, he usually has a boss battle to get him. In which time he will count down to Zantetsuken. He is a summon and usually slices enemies in two. It is an instant death attack.
10. Black Mages - Usually controlling elemental damage and status alignments this meteor casting job is found in a lot of final fantasy games. Spamming fire spells at enemies is also a legitimate tactics in all titles.
11. White Mages - How would we ever get through a game if we can't cast cure? If potions aren't good enough, you won't. So the white mage is always needed no mater how how much trouble they get themselves into.
12. Warrior/Knight - Almost the same thing but knight can sometimes do the job better. They attack and attack while they aren't good with any magic. They are still a Final Fantasy staple.
13. Thief - It is fast, it can steal, and it isn't bad in battle at all. I know I always look forward to using a thief so I can find hidden treasures.
14. Omega - Not always known as Omega Weapon this creature is a stamped superboss of Final Fantasy. You want to be high level and dish out a lot of damage as Omega seems to end the battle quick.
15. Ultima Weapon - We're talking about the sword and the creature. The sword is found usually by defeating the creature. He makes his first appearance in Final Fantasy VI while his brother/cousin/father Omega is found in earlier titles.
16. Tonberry - "This is one small little guy who doesn't look tough at all." is what we all said before we knew the truth. This guy always hates your main party member the worst. His "everyones grudge" attack is based on how much the rest of your party doesn't like you.
17. Iron Giant - He's made of iron, and he is really big. This guy looks like he can end the world himself. You usually find him in final dungeons. He holds the Mighty Guard blue magic.
18. Blue Mages - Surprise! They cast spells enemies can cast on you! There is always some type of blue magic in final fantasy games. You usually have to get hit from the spell to learn it but you can eat or cast lancet too.
19. Bombs - Usually grows three times and then self destructs. They aren't always fire based but when they are your best bet is to attack with ice.
20. Potions - they aren't in all final fantasies but they are in most (or are they in all). They aren't magic but they do restore HP to allies. You can commonly steal them from enemies or but them at a shop.
21. Ethers - They cure MP. This allows you to cast spells. It is a much needed item and can be rare in some games. It's best to use these as a "as needed bases".
22. Phoenix Downs - or Phoenix Feathers. They are the easiest way to bring someone back from KO status. They kill undead enemies and they can not be used on Aeris.
23. Cactaur - or cactuar. They attack with 1000 needles and can be really annoying. If they don't run away from battle they can be a lot of good. Giving a lot of AP.
24. Behemoth - big attack and likes to use meteor. Because of that he is one of the biggest damage dealers in final fantasy. If he does counter with meteor make sure you silence him. He has many forms like Proto-Behemoth.
25. Genji Mail - Well really there is a genji shield and other genji equipment. It is one of the best armors in the games. Usually only beaten by exclusive equipment and but not much. It makes it's appearance in final fantasy games that use armors.
26. Blood Sword - Strike an enemy and absorb the hp. This is a great weapon found in a lot of final fantasy games. While it is weaker then say Excalibur and Ultima weapon this weapon is still a goodie. Just don't attack things that are undead.
27. Ribbons - An accessory is cool right? Status effects not cool right? A lot of the time an endgame accessory is indeed a ribbon. Not to be confused with the avalanche gang sign. This item is in a lot of final fantasy games.
28. Dragoons - Kain, it's Kain Highwind right? Even Cid Highwind in Final Fantasy VII favored this awesome class. Using a Spear he jumps in the air leaving him unattackable and dealing double damage when he comes down.
29. Time mage - Hastega, win. Slowga,double win. Teleport? Yes please. It's not really the most popular of mages but they do appear in multiple Final Fantasy games.
30. Cid - Always supplies you with at least one ship. Even in Final Fantasy VI he makes a ship if you save him. He appears with an airship which is often very useful.
31. Marlboro - Famous for its bad breath this creature can end the fight fast. It hits for status attacks and then slowly takes you down. If you not prepared for the fight do not try. He will kill. nomnomnom.
32. Remedy - Back in items this item sticks out in a lot of games. It usually has the same effect as a eye drop, echo screen, antidote will do. It is very similar to the esuna white mage spell.
33. Chaos Blade - Usually really, really strong. Hidden in the deep dungeons this blade appears in multiple games.
34. Save the Queen - Another blade from the series that is seen a lot. Usually a holy weapon but is also used by knights. Beatrix in final fantasy IX used this weapon as had many others before and after her.
35. Pandemonium - It can be a place or a summon but at a time during Final Fantasy I-15 there are many times a play achieves Pandemonium.
36. Flan - They are jelly with high defense. You gotta hit them with a spell. This creatures are a classic example that a basic enemy. They are found in a lot of final fantasy games and in many forms.
37. Red Mages - Can attack, cast white magic, casts black magic, doesn't do as good as other jobs. They are a Jack of all trades.
38. Frogs - Yep, that's right. Ribbit. Frogs show up so much in final fantasy but go unnoticed. However you can get a nifty frog song blue magic from them.
39. Magic Pot - "Gimme Elixer" (Items > Elixer > Magic Pot > Attack > Magic pot = AP!!) Did you follow that? Well just give him an elixer and kill it. He will give AP to you. He does other things as well like force you to use a certain action.
40. Ragnarok - Can be a sword, a summon, a ship, or a place. Final Fantasy likes to try and name something Ragnarok in its titles.
41. Ninja - It's a job class in many final fantasy games. Usually using two weapons instead of one. It can be upgrade to as early as Final Fantasy I when you bring a thief to Bahamut.
42. Gambler - if it throws dice, plays with cards, or does something MORE silly then this in a fight it must be a Gambler. Final Fantasy has trade to introduce a way of fighting which involves toys.
43. Monk - Weapons not cool enough? Wanna see someone use their fists? Have high HP and cheap? Monk does a lot of good in the games as he is basically a warrior with higher HP. He has lower defense though. :(
44. Cait Sith - He is a cat who likes to fight, but he comes in a very friendly stuffed body as well. He appears as a villain, summon, character, and stuff animal. He is really another unique Final Fantasy being.
45. Leviathan - In the earlier titles he was a superboss and most of the time he is a summon. He doesn't always appear in the games but a lot of the time he does. He is a water Elemental creature.
46. Trains - Yep. It's basic transport in a lot of final fantasy games. Not to mention there is doomtrain and other monsters. Take a ride around midgar or travel as a SeeD you have spent your time in trains.
47. Mace of Zeus - A reoccurring mace that a lot of mages use. While it's not always the best it is good gear in a lot of games.
48. Gysahl Greens - They seem to be the most popular of the chocobo food choices. Sometimes they are used to summon the fat chocobo which holds items.
49. Tents - Same as a megalixer but can only be use in certain places. Not all games have them now n days but from the early titles up until X Final Fantasy always had tents.
50. Maps - A lot of games only have one but some games use multiple maps. Most players are familiar to using them to travel on the world map.
