Dark Cloud's two forms look exactly the same, except one is orange and the other is green. It never has a big accessory cannon thingy. :aimsad:

But yeah, I think we're all done here.

Then it's zande. All I know is I've only got zande and dark cloud to go in FFIII, and one of those two is Exactly the same looking as famfrit.

Zande is a scary-looking devil man. He doesn't even wear armor.



There is no enemy in FFIII that resembles Famfrit. If you want to see for yourself, here is a list of all the enemies in the game, complete with their sprites.

Dum de dum...

Dark Cloud is hot.

He looks like it to me. The important thing is not if he looks as such, however, it's that square said so.

I know that responding to this quote is much akin to reviving a dead thread, but oh well. Japanese IS spelled with letters. They also use symbols called "kanji" to represent words, sort of like how we have the ampersand in English (this is what an ampersand is: &). Also, the difference between a U and an E in Japanese is greater than it is in English. In Japanese, vowels have fixed pronunciations. The U is always pronounced like the "oo" in "fool". The letter E is always pronounced like the "eh" in "meh". In English, the letter U can be used for the sounds "oo" (blue) "uh" (muscle) "eh" (hamburger) or this weird "ih" like sound (burn). However, when translitterated from Japanese, U will always sound the same. So, the name "ekusodesu" can NOT be pronounced "exodus". The only variations on it you can really get are things like "ekuthdes" or "exosd su". In short, Kawaii Ryukishi is right, as usual.

I think the monsters came off worst in FF5. Y Burn for Wyvern? FerryWalk for Fairy Orc? Oh dear...

I'm hard pressed to think of any examples in which kishi HASN'T been right. I know there've been one or two. In something like 6,000 of his posts I've read.

Even I must admit he is generally right. And I know my point is the harder to defend, but the point is that square-enix said so!

If you'd link us to the article in which SE allegedly said so, we'd probably be a lot more inclined to agree with you.

It wasn't an online article. It was an article from nintendo power about a month before the release of the game.

Got the approximate date? I'm sure that if you searched for "nintendo power tactics" and the month and year of the article on google, you'd come up with something relevant.

Unfotunately no... my memory grabs onto details like squares's indication and doesn't let go... but not numbers. I'll try to find the magazine again, but no promises.
