    Default That does it! From now on...

    ...I'm only gonna use arabic numerals to refer to the invidual entries in the FF series, rather than mixing roman and arabic as it's just getting confusing.

    Which do you prefer to use?

    If I'm in a rush or in a lazy mood, I use the Arabic numerals. Otherwise, I like using the Roman numerals. For some reason, to me it makes the Final Fantasy game seem more prestigious than another sequel game with an Arabic numeral in its title

    I'm always going to use Roman numerals, Arabic is for n00bs.

    I go with what's on the game cover. And usually, that's Roman, so that is what is correct.

    I go for the Roman numerals, I always opt for the more pretentious option. Plus it looks cooler. Mind you, FFVIII is a real pain to write always that way.

    Well, I go for roman numerals since that is what is on the case. Lol

    And, a lot of games now seem to have roman numerals on the sequels. Guitar Heroes for example.

    I use arabic for quick posts on the forum and roman for the long, detailed, sometimes essay-like posts that I make to piss off fanboys that insist on putting parts of their post in l33t.

    Which FF Character Are You?


    (SPOILER) This Signature STILL contains spoilers

    FFXIII would be the same.
