If memory serves me correct, they will mention they learned something advanced, but Cloud still offers the big explanation. Its more of a dialogue than just the characters monologue gameplay information like the older games. As I said, the tutorial has a better interface. in terms of keeping the narrative.

Lots of fascinating titbits in this thread! Some are fairly common knowledge, but most are things I've never come across or noticed before. To everyone who's posted, thanks and good researching.Interesting... I'm not familiar with this - do tell.FFXII's Doctor Cid (Cidolfus Demen Bunansa) actually wins by a couple of letters
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but it might have because it's pretty obvious and I'm surprised I overlooked it:
FFVI is the first FF game without a constant party member. That is, in every FF game before it there is at least one character that is in your party from start to finish. This continues in FFVII-IX but reverts back in X-XII (Tidus, Vaan, and your FFXI PC are always with you as far as I remember), though it switches again in XIII.

What do you mean, buddy?

NEVER MIND! I missunderstood what you had said as the first game where you can choose every party member, and in 7 if you have cloud you have to use him, same in 9 with zidane, whereas in 12 you can use any three people. I thought you meant battle party. I apologize, you forgive?
This post brought to you by the power of boobs. Dear lord them boobs. Amen
By party member I mean with the group. Not 'choose your party', though it is true that FFVI is the first game you can choose your party! (not counting 'choosing your jobs' at the start of FFI)
FFI - all 4 characters are with you throughout the game
FFII - Frioniel, Guy, Maria always with you
FFIII - all 4 characters in the NES version, Luneth in the DS version
FFIV - Cecil
FFV - Bartz
FFVI - no one!
FFVII - you lose Cloud when he goes crazy
FFVIII - party splits sometimes, and also the flashbacks with Laguna
FFIX - you are Vivi solo during the first sequence, other instances
FFX - Tidus never leaves (unfortunately)
FFXI - pretty obvious you are always you!
FFXII - Vaan never leaves (though he adds nothing to the plot)
FFXIII - party changes constantly (whenever the scene changes, since this is just one big movie)

Cat Scratch is a move from the Rage Black Cat that pretty much dos 4x physical damage all the time, making it really easy to get it to do max damage at early levels.
Cyan's Kazekiri (Tempest) blade radomly casts Wind Slash and gets a bonus with the Catscratch ability doing higher than normal damage. Give Gau the Offering and Merit award so he can equip the Tempest and attack four times using boosted Wind Slash moves. After the SNES version, Gau can't use Merit Awards because of this combo, and now in the GBA version, Gogo can't use it either cause you could set him up the same way.
FFXII's Doctor Cid (Cidolfus Demen Bunansa) actually wins by a couple of letters [/QUOTE]
Del Norte Marquez is his last name since its technically a title. Del means Of, Norte means North, and Marquez is a noble title. "Of North Marquez"
I don't know too many people who would use The, Of, a, and an as middle names. John Of Adams
It's not very different from O'Brien or MacArthur since the O and Mac are shortened words "Of Brien" and Mac being Gaelic for "Son Of".
Back to the list...
161. is Del's entry
162. VI is the last game in the series to not have a run button
163. speaking of... VI is the last numbered FF game to feature the skills Dash, Double-hand, and Dual Wield.

I wonder if we can get all the way to 200. We should compile this list somewhere. This is a great example of something that would make a good page/article for the CMS enabled site.

200 is pretty feasible, I was just tired last night and only posted three. I also had to faq check one which didn't make it.

It was added in the ports but if you play the original FFIV and VI, their is no run button, you get the running speed by equipping the sprint shoes instead. After SE realized how stupid it was not to have it after VII and VIII, they've implemented them into every FF port thus far.

I see! You never fail to teach me something new WK. I wish I had been exposed to the originals, they sound delightfully strange xD
