Thread: Meteor and Holy

  1. #1

    Default Meteor and Holy

    I was reading a therad, and got an idea. This thread said that Meteor and Holy were spells in other FF games, and not this one. Well, I was wondering, why would that be? If Meteor in FFVII was like this huge ass thing, wouldn't it huge ass in the other games to? As for Holy, how would that change from huge green liguid to w/e it is now? And, isn't the comet spell similar to Meteor?

    Its a game. They cant be bothered to think of new names for spells every. single. time. they make a new game so they reuse them, thus the spells become a kind of trademark.

    If they changed the names of all the spells, would you be happy?

    I wouldn't, perhaps due to nostalgia.

    Meteo is always kind of a huge deal in FF games, it's just not always huge enough to wipe out a planet. Holy is pretty much the same way, since it's the only white spell that can really do damage, and it's useful against lots of nasty enemies. As far as green liquid.... Well.... It's sort of unclear that that's the effect of Holy. All we really know is that it's the lifestream attempting to stop Meteo (it explains that the planet does this in the game).

    It's not unusual for an FF game to glorify certain spells by making them important to the storyline. This was also done with Ultima in FFII, Meteor in FFIV, Degeon in FFV, and so on.


    Also, Holy is white with light blue. The green "liquid" is Lifestream.

    After defeating Jenova SYNTHESIS, the party descends to find Holy held back by Sephiroth's will. The light shining out of the red rock formation is blue/white. During the ending sequence, the explosion of magic that erupts out of the crater is also blue/white.

    Yup, not unusual at all.

    As another example, summons in most FF games are panzies really. They barely leave a scratch on the enemy sometimes! Yet in others... at least FFIX, they tear up cities and deal out mass death.

    MOST games? REALLY? Well that's odd...
