Thread: Too much of a coincidence?

  1. #1

    Default Too much of a coincidence?

    dunno if any of you have noticed or disgussed this yet but here goes

    who thinks final fantasy 8 and 3 are set on the same planet?

    the geographical layout is spookily similar and then theres the creation myth of the great hyne
    could that be the boss from ff3?
    any ideas anyone?

    In my mind most FFs are the same planent (though there are acceptions) but many dissagree.

    probably
    like 7 and 10 hae been confirmed as the same planet
    but 3 and 8's world map layout is verry similar no?

    7 & 10 have not been confirmed to be the same planet, the only thing remotely confirmed is that the people of 7 & 10 share the same lineage, originating on Spira and migrating to Gaia...

    most FF's may take place in the same galaxy but not on the same planet, though several planets may share simmilar geographical formations...

    Yeah they were probably two different planets

    The name Shinra would have long been forgotten by the time the continents moved around like that!

    I think that the developers for the games take some stylistic inspiration from previous titles. Final Fantasy IX was the biggest example of this because it drew from concepts from all of the previous Final Fantasy games.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    I'm in the camp of 'do you know how freaking hard it is to draw landmasses?'

    Really the only FF that has any REAL connection is X and X-2, and the whole Ivalice/tactics franchise. The rest are separate worlds and any references to others are just nothing more then just nods to the past.

    well IX was more of a tribute to the S/NES & PSX(PSone) generations of FF anyway, so naturaly it drew from all the past titles prior to it... basicaly one final game for the whiny old-school elitist that complained endlessly about how futuristic styles like VII & VIII were destroying the franchise, though honestly VII was more of a different spin on steam-punk than being futuristic... though it did turn out to be a decent game (despite it's many flaws) that turned a lot of people onto the series, and hopefully by knowing it's a tribute they will seek out the inspirations from the previous titles it drew from... anyway designing landmasses can't be that hard considering Maxis has made a game engine that allows people at home to create any landmass they want in a little game called SimCity4...

    i think they could jus draw any old random lookin sland and call it a continent
    3 and 8's layout is jus too similar not to be the same place
