It's always amazed me in the FF world.

In the first title, it's clear that the game is set in a more medieval setting. Yet, there are flying ships!!

In later titles, for example: VII and VIII, the technology is much more advanced. The worlds are very high-tech and futuristic. Yet, in both instances, our main heroes rely on melee weapons. And not just any melee weapons, but swords!!

VI has a clash between high- and low-technology.

What is this madness
