Where have all the fansites gone?

[The Man]

Wait some of you guys are talking about The Final Fantasy and I guess others are talking about Final Fantasy Forums, aren't you? That's confusing.

I don't know much about TFF but I know Tedius Zanarukando was complaining about getting banned from there several years ago. Of course, he complained about getting banned from a bunch of different sites, including here.

One of the first and best Final Fantasy fansites I stumbled across was dedicated to FFVII & FFVIII and, while not a forum, had extremely well displayed (for the time) content detailing everything from character profiles to locations and all the shops within the locations and everything like that. It was fantastic for when I was playing FFVII (the first FF I'd played). I think FF Citadel and that site were the two I used the most at that point, and it wasn't until later when I was trying out other FF's that I discovered EoFF.

I remember there was one site that was based around the Gold Saucer and had mini games and trout.

I feel like I vaguely remember that and want to know what that place was called. Maybe it'll come back to me.

Just to remind some people that might have been missed. Due to the hacking death of FFO, we've moved over to Gaming and RPG News Community | Final Fantasy Society

Though its still looks behind eoff

Hacking death? What happened o.o

I used to post at a place called The Caves of Narshe a few years back ( 2010-2012 ), but members just stopped posting, so just hopped on to this place.


Everybody there used to love and adore FF VI which was like " yay " but the hatedom for FF VIII there was like massive. ;_;

I'm glad you reminded me of FF Citadel. I remember that was one of the sites I was genuinely quite impressed by many moons ago, as it was excellent for FFVII.

Quite sad to see FFOnline suffer from hacking and whatnot. It had a very good front site around the time FFX was released, both in terms of it's quality of info and appearance. I think 'FF Society' is a bit lame as far as name's go, but if I had a tenner for every different 'FF Something' site that has been around at one point or another I'd be very rich.

From a forum perspective, aside from EoFF - which is the only FF one I've bothered with so consistently long or actively - I used to post at Squally Leonharty's FFL, FF Mages, FF Web (the latter two I modded). I think I probably had accounts at numerous others (FFWA certainly), though I never frequented them.

So is the question still valid?

I think it is a variation on the question of whether people do personal websites nowadays, and I think the big thing is that everyone signs up to big media websites and have their communities there. The internet is a very different beast than it was ten, twenty years ago.
