His hairstyle is the effect of a gravity spell gone HORRIBLY wrong.
Why are there so many crystals in this game?
There are both Light Crystals and Dark Crystals for each of the 4 elements. The other FFs didn't have that.
Why don't White Chocobos restore MP in any other FF?
Because they got lazy.
If Yang's pants have little smiley faces printed on them, what are on his bowers?
They have "kiss the future" written on the front and "smurf the past" on the back.
How did Yang marry such a virago?
All the other women in Fabul were White Mages which he didn't like.
Why aren't there Red Mages in FFIV?
There aren't any red mages because they're actually called "sages". Blame Tellah. He whined so much about how "red mage" was a lame name for his class that after the new name was accepted, the other red mages-- I mean, sages, kicked him out of Mysidia.
Did Zemus have hair before?
Yes he did, but it all fell because of the stress. Being evil is not as relaxing as you'd think.
What do the Pink Puffs smell like?
Tuna.
How do those crazy summon creatures get out from the Underworld when you summon them?
They take a cab.
If Bahamut's cave was on the Red Moon, does it mean Rydia will no longer be able to summon him after it leaves the Blue Planet's orbit?
Nah, Rydia's awesome, she can summon anything from anywhere.
Do Namingways have nothing better to do than hum and name people all day? Are they really...SECRET AGENTS?
Yes, they were agents from the false king of Baron in charge of spying Cecil's moves everywhere he went, but after he was defeated they retired and went to the Moon to live their old age in peace.
Why do BushHags wear a hood?
Its all they got to cover their ears from a 'singing cry baby bard' (due to the Hags never learn his name).
Is there any air on the moon???
Yes. It smells like old cheese and dirty socks, though.
Do a Lunarian's dirty socks glow in the dark?
Only when they take their annual Uranium baths.
---
Why is Kain blonde?
hes an albino, this is also why he never takes off his armor (he'd sunburn really quickly)
whats this dubbingway guy I've been hearing about do.
He gives you subtitles for FF II US's poor translation.
What does the weirdo man in the Adamantium Cave do with all the animal tails?
God you do not want to know. It's disgusting. He actually...it makes me feel sick...he...he...
He peforms transplants on disabled animals in order to help them have a better life!
Ugh.
Anyway, how come the preferred guise of Leviathan is a wrinkly old man? And don't say BECAUSE THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS AS THEY SEEM OHOHOHO because that's just what he wants you to think.
Well, he wanted to take the guise of a hot chick in a blue dress, but Asura beat him to it, and the wrinkly old man was the only one left.
When a Troian woman gives birth to a baby boy after a one night stand with a traveler in the "Pub", what does she do?
Sunbathes, of course.
Why are the dwarves constantly bombing the tower of Babil before you go in there?
Because Golbez stole the dwarves' muffins when he sent his dolls there.
How does Baron manage to brainwash Yang?
Suggestive clothing, a drunken bet and eleven secret herbs and spices.
How would the people of Eblan decorate their caves if they couldn't go back to their castle?
If they try to hang something (eg a photo), they're get caved in!
If theres a Yang, then wheres a Yin?
yangs wife is yin in disguise
if tellah hadn't died, where would he be
In the basement of the "Pub" in Troia. And then he'd tell the other lecherous old men there: "IM IN UR PUB, CHECKIN UR HOTTIEZ!"
Not counting Gilbert/Edward, if the characters were magically transported to 21st century Earth, which one would be the best Guitar Hero player?
Cecil. He's no guitar, but he sure is a hero.
Does Rydia carry a whip to keep Edge off of her or what?
She started using whips ever since the people in the Land of Summoned Monsters gave her one.
How can Kain Jump on Sword Rats without getting injured?
Armor, duh. Although other theorize that his hair grant him some awesome powers.
Why does Eblana Castle have the same music as Damcyan Castle while all the other castles in the game have their own theme?
Because, much like FF6 and Figaro Castle, Damcyan/Eblan Castle can move between the two locations, so they are actually the same Castle, just in a different region so they had to give it a different name.
If Rosa and Rydia had a child that turned out to be Cecil, who was in fact Golbez's father who is Kain's Auntie who is Edge's Mother and Father, yet Rosa and Rydia never met, how did all of this happen?
A wizard (read: Tellah) did it.
Would FFIV have been even more awesome if Tellah was the main character? Why?
I don't know. I guess the main character dying in the middle of the game would have created some interesting reactions in the fandom. And we would have gotten a lot more old people rants about feet being cold, then feet being warm, then feet smelling, then kids dressing up strange, then a large amounts of "in the good old days" anecdotes... And he would have told everyone that when he was young, they didn't have such things as airships, hovercrafts, chocobos and Serpent/Devil Roads. Adventurers had to walk everywhere (yes, even walking ACROSS oceans, because there was also no such things as swimming and boats), barefoot, in ten feet on snow. And no matter where they went, it was always uphill, in all directions.
If Tellah and FuSoYa had met in game, what would have happened?
They would have held a contest to see who was more deserving to be dubbed old fart.
What if the FFIV cast read "Ah, the Power of Cheese!"?
Zemus would interrupt the FFIV cast while they're reading it saying "You the heroic humans reading it does not offend me you fools!!"
Why didn't Asura or the Mist Dragon appear in any of the other FFs as summons?
Because the Mist Dragon was Rydia's mom's personal dragon, and it was passed down in her family from mother to daughter forever since. As for Ashura, she went on to do pageants and has't stopped to this day.
Why are there Dragoons if they don't ride dragons, but they kill them?
They were on holiday. It was a trade union thing, the programmers tried their best to try and get them into the game, but they just weren't having it unless they paid them double. Greedy dragons.
When Porom and Palom are unpetrified, why didn't the walls resume moving and crush them?
Because then FFIV would be TOO awesome.
Why didn't Palom and Porom just cast stop on the walls instead of stone on themselves?
It's a prerequisite that to be a minor FFIV character you need to die heroically at least once.
Either that or, CUT THEM SOME SLACK, THEY'RE FREAKING FIVE.
Do you think Rosa knew she was dooming herself to endless kidnappings as the LOVE INTEREST?
As the love interest, I think Rosa was amazed that she only got kidnapped once, and only because she had no choice but to let herself get kidnapped if Cecil were to live for another day.
Why did Rydia wait until Cecil and the others were about to die before she jumped in with a summoning of her Mist Dragon?
Because she wanted to look badass, of course.
Do Palom and Porom pick their noses?
No. They pick Tellah's noses (Note, Tellah has more then one nose)
Is Golbez actually Rosa's father?
No. Rosa's father was a Baronian Knight.
Why does the Troian who guards the treasures call you honest after saying you don't have permission to get the treasures when you actually do in the GBA Version?
Cuz he doesn't want to share his treasure.
How does Rydia learn the dragon summon if Kain and Cecil killed it?
Ancestral memories.
What does a CPU do in a mostly fantasy world?
Nothing. It just waits until someone activates the giant, or allows Golbez to play Solitaire when he's bored. Some debate Edge might have used it for porn-finding purposes if he knew about it before it was destroyed.
Speaking of the CPU, how technologically-advanced were those Lunarians?
They live in caves. Not very.
Does Kain listen to emo music?
It depends on whether you consider any of the songs in FFIV emo or not.
Besides the game developers not wanting people to use Meteor, is there any reason why they made Tellah's MP always stay at 90?
To show how Tella's magical capabilities were smaller than his ego.
Why do dead people just disappear? Is burial never used in the FF IV world? And where do they go?
The rate of decay on FF worlds is vastly greater than that in the rest of the known universe due to the gargantuan microbes that crawl around everywhere, so burial is unnecessary. They end up in the gigantic bacteria bodies... a.k.a. the farplane.
Do you think that Cecil & Edge lived happily ever after with Rosa & Rydia, or do you think that ten years later there was a room full of lawyers that were debating the conditions of the prenuptial agreements?
Cecil and Rosa live happily ever after and have about eight kids. Rydia is currently spending time in the prisons of Eblana for torching Edge to death with a Firaga spell the first time she visited. Her lawyer wanted to go with the SPM defense. Rydia plead guilty, claiming "the little snot was asking for it".
So, who's ruling Eblana now that Rydia torched Edge to death with a Firaga spell? :radred:
Probably that goofy old prude that kept getting frustrated with Edge's interminable spooniness ("to spoon" is 50s for "making out", which is why Gilbert is a "spoony" bard for trying to make it with Tellah's daughter, incidentally. But who can blame Tellah's daughter when Gilbert is the FFIV version of a rock star?). Things are actually getting done now, interestingly enough. Rydia of course will be let off on reduced charges and plea bargaining. Bahamut makes a better pet for her anyway.
Just to clarify, I'm pretty sure there's this chancellor that hops around during the ending cutscene while Edge just faps on his throne to thoughts of Rydia and her summons.
How much DOES a Namingway? (Get it? How much does it weigh?)
As much renaming as you ask him to.
How come the invisible switches in black halls from FFIII were removed in FFIV?
Because when the time came to bring them over from FFIII nobody could find them. They say there are old staff members stuck in those bloody walls. That explains much of the supernatural phenomena that goes on almost on a daily basis at Square Studios. Random battles are actually attributed to the ghosts of the damned who are unable to pass on from this world into the next.
Mommy, what does it mean when Cecil is on a tile and Rosa is on the same tile and they are hugging like that??????
Why, they're inspecting each other's tonsils to make sure neither of them are sick, child. That's also the first step to make babies, generally. Sometime later, the stork brings the newly-made baby, and then Edge barbecues the stork with his awesome power of anger.
Why are white mages unable to use mallets in FFIV like in FFI?
Cid's Beard took them all away, because it enjoys the awesomeness of the noise "PAMF PAMF" that the hammers make. That and Rosa can't Aim with a Hammer to save her life.
Is Lord Zemus actually a misspelling/misread/mistranslation of the name Lord Xenu?
No, because the Church of Scientology would have sued Squaresoft into bankruptcy for using a Scientology term in the game without making the protagonist L. Ron Hubbard or making explicit mention of the "wonders" of their group.
What would Rosa do for a Klondike bar?
Finish Guitar Hero III on Hard mode.
Are the Pink Puffs made of strawberry chewing gum?
No. That's only an urban legend. They are actually made of Cherry Pie Filling.Quote:

Why doesn't the Coctric (FFII SNES Translation of Cocatrice) Summon work in the SNES American Version?
Because status-affecting skills are notorious for never working in RPGs ever. They make the game too easy if enemies catch them, as they're mainly just inserted to be obstacles to the player characters, which would imply that they make the game too hard or that the difference in difficulty is too steep.
Why don't they reference characters' full names in North America? I never knew Cecil's full name was "Cecil Harvey" before. Man, what a great name.
Because them folks over there across the pond in the US of A are a lot more informal and familiar.
Why do the extremely powerful summons hide away so deep underground?
they are ariphobic (wrong i know it supposed to be scared of open spaces)
why are antlions evil?
Because heroes in search of the Desert Light came so often that they got pissed off.
Why doesn't Rosa wear a regular White Mage hood?
Because nobody will see her beautiful blonde hair, duh!
Why does Edward (Gilbert) look so girly?
Because he was planning to have a sex change and taking female hormones but then he met Anna and changed his mind.
Are Rydia's eyes blue or green??
Blue. No, green. No, blue! ... GREEN! Arg, I don't know! Let's just say they're blue-green, mkay?
Do Dragoons all have smelly boots?
No. In fact, you might say that none of them do.
What do you suppose Cecil and Rosa named their kids?
Well, they will end up argueing because there's so many friends they could name them after, and in the end, the poor kids will just end up with names "Boy" and "Girl".
Why didn't Square want to make more FMVs in the DS remake and show us more charachter (especially Rydia) hotness? T_T
Because we would have all gone crazy so hot they were.
Who are Palom and Porom's parents?
The Mysidian Elder's daughter, sadly deceased, and KluYa (yeah, he got around.)
Do you think that Cecil ever faced an assassination plot after the twins discovered that they were next in line for the throne??
Nay. The twins liked too much being little marauders to face the responsabilities of the throne. Besides, they liked Cecil after all.
Does FuSoYa have any children?
Rosa, Rydia, Edward, Telluh, Yang, King of Fabul, the Real King of Baron, Leviathan, Bahamut, that little kid who thinks Dark Nights are cool, the astronomers from that one city before the Dark Elf, the Dwarf King, and a random Ninja.
And you thought Kluya got around.
Does the FF IV cast believe in the Engrish Santa?
No, they don't even have an holiday called Christmas. They're safe, for now.
Why won't Square-Enix give me CGs of Cid, FuSoYa, and Tellah? :(
because cid
\\
/ \
fusoya-tellah
Was that a pass on a question? Was that even an answer? What's a CG supposed to be? Guess someone has to fix things...
There are no "CGs" of Cid/Tellah/FuSoYa because they don't have that "silver fox" appeal.
Are Cecil and KluYa related to Kal-El and Jor-El by any chance? The whole "space parents origin lineage" thingy, I mean.
Of course! They're cousins twice removed on KluYa's mother's side.
Edge: boxers or briefs?
Briefs. He thinks he's got style but... well...
Ashura vs. Rydia. Who'd win?
Rydia did win, remember? Rydia kicked her four freak faces good.
What the hell is Zeromus supposed to look like? I can't wait until FFIVDS comes out to figure THAT one out.
Which one? The form when he first appears, or the form after Cecil uses the crystal on him? In the first form, he's obviously a blue dust bunny that became a sentient being and mutated into something ugly after being stuck for 10 years under FuSoYa's robes. As for the second form? He's a mutated blue dust bunny from the inside out. *nods*
Speaking of FuSoYa, what's up with his long, gravity-defying eyebrows?
He's suppose to look like an undead insect/dinosaur/bat thing that looks completely hideous yet cool.
If Cids were a unit of measurement, would Rubicant really be eight Cids tall in real life? Why/why not?
Well, maybe not EIGHT Cids tall, but Rubicante definitely would be abnormally tall. Why? Aside from the fact he's evil (though he seemed real nice about that), Rubicante was star of the Mysidian Chocobos back in his college years. The fact he got left out of Mario 3-on-3 Basketball was a bit of a disappointment to his fans (unless of course he's actually in there--I never played it much myself).
What do you think is considered "high cuisine" in the world of Final Fantasy IV? Braised boa over minced baby leek? Or?
I just feel like I have to say something to one of the earlier things said, for the Ashura vs. Rydia one.
"Rydia did win, remember? Rydia kicked her four freak faces good."
No she didn't. The question was about Ashura versus Rydia one-on-one. The battle with Ashura in the game had Ashura versus a five-person party that included Rydia.
Braised boa is where it's at. Right beside sword rat on a stick.
What's with Tokita acting like he's joining your team? Why doesn't he actually join it?
Because he's having second thoughts after he joins you, and decides not to join because he's a coward and FuSoYa scares him.
Speaking of FuSoYa, again, since Evastio missed my question after we answered the same one almost simultaneously... What's up with FuSoYa's long, gravity-defying eyebrows?
FuSoYa's eyebrows... are FALSIES!? And he left them in his pocket when he starched his robe. Or else they're his Lunarian antennae, which is silly, because everybody knows Lunarians don't have antennae; Martians do.
If you play FFIV backwards, does it say "Tellah is dead"?
No, playing FFIV backwards says Cecil and Rosa get a divorce, Rydia goes through puberty backwards, and Kain's inner struggle becomes whimsically undecipherable.
Why is it that Cecil didn't finish off the many many wounded, near-death soldiers he came across in Damycan to save them from the agony of living a half-life just long enough to die a horrible gruesome death, half-caused by blood loss, half-caused by starvation?
Because if he didn't, Rosa would break up with him, Edward would call him a meanie, Rydia would run off terrified and Tellah would call him a spoony dark knight, thus causing a mental breakdown which eventually leads to him being gay with Kain, and eventually, the end of the world.
Why is Valvalis the only woman-fiend?
There wasn't any other women out there who wanted to live in freezing water, have rotten flesh, or have burnt up skin.
(Please assume fire can talk for this question next poster) Why does the fireplace in towns say ouch whenever you talk to it?
Because fire is very sensitive, of course. That's why it flickers about so much; it's nervous about being touched.
What's going on in the cutscene after you defeat the CPU in the Giant of Bab-il in the DS version of FFIV? Actually, the answer to that might contain spoilers... even though I'm dying to know.
Where did the characters from FFIV hang out in between filming scenes in the game?
At Lufia, Fynn, Kefka's house and Midgar.
What IS FFIV anyway?
The abbreviation for "Final Fantasy 4".
What do you suppose are some of the main cast's interests outside of saving the planet and fighting evil badguys and the like?
Cecil is a hand model, earning millions of Gils due to his pretty manicured nails. Rosa is part of a black market ring selling Troian weed to teens of the Blue Planet. Rydia has her own BDSM place. Edge is actually volunteering at his local Salvation Army to feed the orphans. Kain spends too much time doing his hair; he buys shampoo and conditioner by the crate nowadays. Gilbert is actually the lead guitarist of some punk band in Kaipo; his nipple piercings and tight leather pants drive the ladies insane! Cid just sleeps all day and buys little boats to do boat races in Baron. Yang is writing self-help booklets for abused husbands. Palom and Porom fight crime in Mysidia, shoujo manga-style, when they're not studying. Tellah just rots. FuSoYa enjoys rolling on the floors of the Lunar Palace to keep them clean.
Why is the dancer in Baron such a hussy?
She was meant to go to Troia, but Cid, being old, misheard, and took her to Baron.
Can a five ounce Black Chocobo carry a 1 pound bomb?
(See if you can guess the movie reference.)
It could but its flying abilities would be hindered so much that it might as well run with the bomb instead of fly.
Why do Pink Puffs have defenses that are a lot lower compared to other slimes?
Because they're pink and puffy, duh!
What will Edge do if he can't get Rydia to like him?
As off-color as it may seem, there's always drinking and porno. He'll probably ride his fame as a famous ninja, eventually learn to be humble, yet continue his flings with numerous ladies without ever feeling satisfied, become real disappointed/depressed when Rydia meets up with someone more right for her, until he meets some ninja princess with super kung fu skills whom he didn't expect to fall in love with and then live comfortably ever after.
Uh, but for those who think Rydia and Edge get together, I'd imagine they'd turn out much like Yang and his wife, only with Edge being real irresponsible compared to Yang, of course. Comic foibles ensue and we are taught to laugh at love again. Pick either scenario you want. Personally I think the latter one is a lot more light-hearted.
What EXACTLY did Kain do after Rydia first summoned Titan at him and Cecil causing a huge destructive earthquake? Did he wander around confused until Golbez found him, did he wander back to Baron on his own and become brainwashed/assimilated that way, or did Baronian guards send to spy on Cecil and Kain find him and escort him home?
In fact, I want to change my question to this instead: What transpired while Cecil and Kain were sent off to unknowingly destroy the village of Mist, until at least Cecil met up with Tellah? What we can probably assume is Rosa and some Baronian guards were somehow able to trace Cecil to Kaipo (maybe it was just chance Rosa was taken in there after contracting desert fever?), and Golbez gained power in Baron without Cecil having met him yet.
Well, maybe one could have a more elaborate discussion on what was going on then and before the game's events began, but feel free to answer however you like as according to this thread.
Rosa fell off Baron Castle over the mountains into the Kaipo desert after she heard the news. The Baronian Guards followed her (jumping off Baron Castle into the Kaipo desert) and spied on her thinking she'd lead them to Cecil. A traveller found her and brought her to Kaipo and the soldiers followed the two of them there.
Why isn't the Piggy status in any other FF?
Pigs went extinct, sorry. Plus, they weren't as cute as the froggies.
What kinds of regional dialects and accents do you suppose the various locations and peoples of the FFIV world have?
Well, probably Math and Science.
Why does Cecil have white hair?
Cause he's half lunar person?
How exactly can Gilward split a potion?
He uses harpblades. The strings are actually really sharp and can cut through glass and plastic.
Why can't anyone equip the Spoon?
Actually, Edward was supposed to be able to equip it, but he rather used it to play his harp.
Why are there no black people in FFIV? (no offence to anyone)
Well, the dwarves have black skin... Although, it might actually be due to soot and bad hygiene, who knows.
Seriously, is Rubicante naked under that cloak of his?
Crud, you just had to ask that one... ...
...
Yes. Yes he is. That's why he opens his robe when you fight him so that he can no longer absorb water and ice damage. Because he thinks by flashing you the party will be so shocked that he will be able to take the perfect chance to strike! Luckily, Cecil and co. are too brave and heroic!
Do you think the Magus sisters watch the Three Stooges? How would you compare these two trios?
They probably did until Cindy sat on their TV on accident mistaking it for a cushion. The Three Magus sister's aren't as funny as the stooges.
Why can't Cid handle Hammers with one hand?
He's 54; he's not as strong as he used to be in his youth.
Does Dark Knight Cecil's helmet smell like cheese?
No.
Where did that face on the moon come from? Whose face is it?
It's mine. I bumped into it one day so it got stuck there.
Why does Cecil have a change of heart?
He thought he was doing the right thing following the King's orders. Eventually he realized it wasn't right after he had many innocent people killed during his missions.
Why are Black Chocobos so adamant on staying inside trees while waiting for Cecil and them?
All black chocobos are tree-hugging hippies, that's why.
Where do they get Phoenix Downs if there are no phoenix in FFIV?
Check the label, it clearly says "May not contain genuine phoenix down. May contain peanuts. 0% Trans Fats!".
Aren't there any pets in the FFIV world? How come you don't see some girl taking a Behemoth for a walk on a leash?
The behemoth ate her.
Where do the emos like Kain and Edward hang out in FFIV?
Toys R Us.
How does Golbez truly die?
We'll find that out in FFIV's sequel.
Or not...
What's with that lone Chocobo forest on an island that's west of Troia?
They moved there to escape Cecil, but he still found them.
Why can't you fly over the lava at first and see the airship EXPLODE with heat, and laugh hysterically at Cecil's horrible death before realizing you haven't saved since before you got Rydia, and you start crying softly?
I dunno. I never played FFIV. XP
How does Egde know how to use magic?
It's not magic. It's ninjutsu.
Was Barbariccia nailing the Magus Sisters, or what?
Yes, with a nail gun, in the save room.
What is the air speed velocity of an unladen Black Chocobo?
Around 8 squares per second.
Why are the save points' appearance so different in the US and Japanese versions?
Cos if it didn't it wouldn't make sense.
How exactly do they save?
The platform thingy that they step on has a photographic memory and remembers all of the character's items and stats. The overworld also has a memory that's as good as the platform.
Why didn't they let Edge's smoke magic let you escape dungeons?
Because that would encourge smoking.
How can Edge pin shadows?
He can't. All that "Ninja Smoke" he's been inhaling only makes him think he can.
If Rydia were a man, would she still be sexy?
He just can.
Why can people just instantly decompose when they die? (eg Edward's girlfriend, forgot the name)
Square supports human fertilizer.
What kind of name is Edward for such a pretty young lad- HOLY CRAP IT'S A DUDE!
Does Cid realize that his suit clashes with his awesome beard?
Yes. But Cid is so cool, he doesn't care about such trivial things as fashion.
Where do FFIV characters buy all the gothic-looking make up they have in the Amano artworks?
They don't, they steal it from Steiner when he makes his weekly visit to FF IV.
If Rydia were a man, would she still be sexy? (I do this only because SOMEBODY didn't answer my question and answered the one before instead.)
To some people yes. She'd be one of those feminine looking male FF characters though.
Why isn't Evil Wall weak against Ice or Water? Being a rock based enemy Ice and Water should make his stone body weaker.
psst... he's not made of rock. he's made of... hair.
OMG WUT DID I JUST SAY?!
You just said Evil Wall was made out of hair.
What happens to the crew of the ship that Cecil and friends take from the Fabul docks and it then gets attacked by Cecil the Seasick Seaserpent? Do they wash ashore an island and start "Final Fantasy Survivor" or what?
Nope, they would die instantly.
Why do people play FFIV?
Because it's a good game.
Why did zack_fair ask such a question?
Because of forum trolling.
What technology does the Devil's Road use? Fiber optics? Do the wizards stand behind the walls make "WOO WOO" noises and pick up Cecil and friends and move them through an underwater tunnel to Baron and try to pretend it's all secret-y and magic-y?
It's very complicated technology. It involves a buggy, a long tunnel, lots of LSD, and a hamster. Better not ask; those Mysidians are weird.
Speaking of technology, are the lights in the towers of Zot and Bab-Il lights from real machine, or are they just Christmas lights inserted into painted cardboard boxers to create the illusion of supah high-tech machinery?
It's half electrical lighting, half bioluminescent light from Flame Dogs.
Is Octomamm female? (the mam part of its name kind of implies that)
It's sexless.
Is Cecil gay?
Yes.
Is Kain?
If anything, he's jealous.
How does Tellah remembering all of his spells make him forget the Recall command?
No idea.
Why?
Cuz.
Why not?
No idea.
Please end this lame chain?
I'll try.
Maybe Tellah found it too exhausting to learn all of his spells and the Recall command similar to how Rydia forgot White Magic after learning a whole bunch of Black and Summoning Magic?
Nah. Can't be. It should be cuz he met Edward.
Why is Edward gay?
Cuz he's not straight, bi, lesbian, queer, trans, or questioning.
With all the remakes/retranslations of the game, which is the FFIV that REALLY happened? The scripts are so different from game to game that they could be considered different games entirely.......
The original release of 1991 in Japan, of course.
Did Golbez change his name from (SPOILER)Theodore because it was too dorky for a badass villain?
No. Theodore and Golbez are two totally different people.
Why isn't Kain able to deal double damage to flying enemies in the DS Version?
Not exactly. Hint: Guess who Cecil named his son after.Quote:

Why didn't Kishi ask a question?
He knows all. I think.
Why did Porom's hair go from brown to pink in FFIV: The After?
I don't know how, but I blame Palom.
Was Yang attempting to look like Pai Mei by growing that mustache in Final Fantasy IV: The After?
No it was the other way round.
Why does FFIV have to have a sequal?
SQUENIX IS A MONEY EATING MACHINES
What will the new main's personality be like?
Emo and/or arrogant.
What does Rydia think of Edge?
That he's gay.
Why does he have greyish hair?
Because he's actually very old.
Where does Rydia live after the events of FF4?
Wherever she wants to.
How did Rydia get green hair? Did she dye it?
She shouldn't have eaten that odd looking vegetable.
Where did that crystal at the end come from?
Golbez bought it on eBay.
Who did Kain's manicure?
Baronian Nurses.
Why do both of the airships that you get have to be fixed so they can go over magma? Shouldn't the second one already be able to travel over it?
Cause the 2nd one was an exact copy of the first one, just red.
Why is there an underground world?
Because Rydia cast Titan when she was too young to control it's power and it made big earthquakes that.... I don't know. Something to do with Rydia and her awesomeness.
Just why is Rydia so awesome?
She has green hair, that's why.
Is the Dark Elf that stole the Earth Crystal Astos's great great great great grandson?
Take away one great and that'd be a yes.
If ghosts are undead why doesn't Cure magic damage them?
It is beause Cure is a physical spell, therefore being unable to affect ghosts.
However, Cura and onwards can affect ghosts. Why is this so?
Is it because Cure is, as the doctor from Contact might say, "weak sauce"?
That was a rhetorical question; here is the actual question:
Where did Dr. Lugaeaeaeae (Dr. Loogie? Dr. Luigi?) learn to reverse the effects of healing and damaging like that? Damnit he's hard now.
I don't know. However, I do know that he was supposed to be a god but was rejected because he was just to short and had grey hair (I think). Gods CANNOT be short and have grey hair. That is a universal rule. So, being jealous, he stole some power from the gods, the ability to reverse the effects of healing and damaging.
O_O
Why does Rubicant heal you before fighting him?
Because he's too stupid to realise that if he left the team half-dead he'd win.
Why did Cagnazzo attempt to crush Cecil et al with the walls instead of using his elemental powers to flood the room, surely killing them?
The stonework in those old castles isn't perfect, so the water would have escaped through cracks. Plus, it lacks the squishiness of moving walls crushing your enemies.
Who was the Dark Knight that went to Fabul years before Cecil?
Kishi of course.
Don't you think Cecil could do so much better then Rosa?
Probably. But it could be worse; Rosa could be as annoying and pitiful as Rinoa.
What is the temperature of a Firaga spell?
Around 40 degrees C. Blizzaga should be around 5000 though.
How about Thundaga?
-G and a half degrees
What was Yang doing on that mountain exactly when his friends got killed?
They were in the middle of their training as warrior monks. He comes right out and tells you this, so it's not even a "never-answered question."Quote:

They didn't he had his sprite switched to the King.Quote:

Up.
In Zot, duh.
QUESTION: what exactly do the people of that place with all the chocobos in the arena do with them? I think it may have been Toroia...
They breed them, then slaughter them, and sell the meat to KFC for profits.
Where is Zot, where the tower of Zot is?
Up!
Why are Yang's metallic claws not affected by the Dark Elf's magnetic field?
Because the laws of Magnetism aren't as concrete as one might believe.
Why does Zemus hate us humans so?
Because he hated the idea of humans having lunarian technology since he felt it was really degrading.
Are the Magus sisters related to Palom and Porom at all?
Only in bad fanfics.
Why is there a desert near Baron?
Baron in Sanskrit means 'place near the desert'. Duh.
Why is Baron near the desert?
:aimmad:
Why are Bush Hags never in the bushes?
Cause they're supposed to be in... hags?
WTF are Bush Hags?
They're awesome deities of the FFIV universe. Cid is rumoured to be a descendant of the BushHags due to the awesomeness of his beard.
Does Kishi have a dwarvish one like that little girl in Agart?
No, its the other way round. The girl in Agart has a dwarvish one like Kishi.
Why does FFIV have such strange city names?
Because it's a FF Tradition.
Why didn't the talking beavers from FFII make it in FFIV?
They couldn't beat the pigs in a fight.
Why do most of the main characters have relatively normal names (Cecil, Rosa, Lydia, Gilbert, et cetera) instead of crazy fantastical ones like in other games (Frioniel, Mash, Cayenne, Cloud, et alia)?
Because with the inclusion of Dwarfish ones, an attention whore of a main character, and inexplainable moving hands they had to make at least one thing seem remotely normal.
What was Cecil doing before becoming a Dark Knight?
He lived like a prince along with Kain being raised by King Baron.
How come you're able to bring the hovercraft to the underworld? Wouldn't it melt in the heat?
No, there is a sign on the hovercraft that says 'Please don't melt me, heat. Thanks.'
WTF was Zemus there for?
He exists to hold Zeromus in his soul.
Why do Larva type enemies steal MP when they have no use for it?
If they gather enough MP, which is roughly estimated to be around 55234875102354504654897842145421321, they will be able to unleash a deadly attack called 'Summon Chuck.Norris', which will deal 9999999999 damage to all characters in and out of battle, all NPCs, all monsters including Zeromus, vehicles, your GameboyAdvance/SP/DS/emulator and you.
Why does ChuckNorris (with a space) change to Raoul Duke in these forums? And how does it affect FFIV in any way?
Because a literary hero like Raoul Duke is ridiculously superior to the deadbeat subject of a brain-dead Internet meme. This has nothing to do with FFIV, though, since a righteously transcendant fellow like Duke surely holds nothing but disdain for your "fantasy" games.
Why does Zemus need his Mind to report to himself?
Because he was so absent-minded, so unbearably absent-minded, his mind decided to really be absent and started going around on its own.
Does Zemus' breath stink? And if so, what did he eat?
It does since he blasts you with his blue cheese breath.
Why does the blue dragon absorb fire if he's an ice enemy?
In fantasy games, not everything is as it seems.
In FFIV, you can go to the moon, take a stroll, without any form of spacesuit or breathing equipment, and there are also mythical creatures like goblins on Earth and dwarves underground. What kind of age are they in?
The disparately advanced technology you see in the game, such as the Tower and Giant of Babel, are products of the Lunarians, whom we know are advanced far beyond contemporary human capabilities. Even the second moon is their work, which would explain how you can breathe on it. And goblins and dwarves don't necessarily belong to any particular time anyway.
Why was Namingway changed from a bespectacled cat in a turban to a rabbit in a hood in the remake?
Because Rabbits are more user friendly.
Since there are now blacks in the game, why aren't their any Mexicans?
Mexicans and FFs do not mix well. At all.
So are there Germans?
No, only Blue Planetians of different skin and hair colour.
Why are there more people with blue or purple hair than people with brown hair?
Because the color quota of the world was used up to make the mountains not pink.
Why does everyone act like badmouthing Rosa and ignoring her strong points is awesome and acceptable, but the second someone breathes a word of criticism about Rydia, they're chastised for it?
(No seriously. If you want to skip this and take it to another thread then okay, but I'm tired of seeing "Cecil could have done better than Rosa" or "Rosa's a wimpy, clingy, stupid, whiny, *et cetera et cetera* DiD and stereotypical white mage" and my every attempt to debunk it and highlight her strong points being cast down as inconsequential, all while everyone else does the same with Rydia and is perfectly FINE with it. It's bad enough that the fans' dislike of her reaches to the point where Square-Enix is doing what they can to get her out of the picture in The After and hyping up Rydia everywhere they can, is it REALLY necessary to kick the girl when she's dead?)
