    Default Strange or juicy Final Fantasy facts...?

    EGM is doing an interview with me and they want to know what strange or juicy facts our site provides reguarding the series that people couldn't get at another site...

    What strange or juicy Final Fantasy facts ARE THERE... I can only think of a few easter eggs scattered throughout the series. Can anyone give me some ideas?

    It's really more the discussion of the FF series as a whole that attracts me to this place. It's hard to get that anywhere else, most sites focus on FFI or FFVII and up.

    Juicy tidbits? Well, there's the backstories of the team that created the original (Amano, Uematsu, Gebelli, Sakaguchi, etc.) but I don't know how interesting that is.

    Do a search for all of Kishi's posts. He's posted all kinds of juicy stuff.

    Yeah, what Del said about Kishi's posts. He's posted a long list of all of square's RPGs somewhere, that might be interesting. You find out news of games a lot quicker than magazines around the net, and this site. Don't forget FFMusicDJ or whatever that guy's name was, if that has anything to do with the series. I guess it does though because he makes remixes to the games' music. I'll think of more things later.

    Not many people will see this thread in here. Might be a good idea to just punch it to GC being that its more of a general discussion and you can do whatever you want, heh.

    We certainly tend to cover and scrutinize a lot of obscure details concerning how the games were translated.

    If by "Yay for" you mean "Death to."

    Um... I'm sure there were plenty. I'll try to think of some especially good ones in due course.

    If that wasn't sarcasm before, I would have shot myself right after typing that.

    You should also tell them that HOOTERS is really Nobuo Uematsu's alter ego.

    Since we are, to the best of my knowledge the largest forum/site as far as current members go, you can make a point to mention the wide variety of races and cultures that all find their unique points of view within Final Fantasy. Does someone from the USA or UK see a game exactly the same as someone from Russia or Norway or even Brazil? Certainly an interesting thing to ponder.

    Take care all.

    Or that Final Fanatasy is uniting people from all over the world in hatred of Ted Woosley.

    As far as juicy facts go, I'd delve into the discussions on the storylines, I've seen quite a few in the varied forums. The Sephiroth one for example. All that speculation and explanation is bound to have some gems. Big D has been known to post some pretty interesting stuff, for example.

    I dunno about that anti-Woolsey business... I posted an anti-Woolsey thread and all the FFVIers flipped out. I thought it was funny, probably because I was right. That's usually how these things go.

    You should tell them... oh my god...

    Yeah, the Adlai thing would be great to mention; it doesn't get any juicier than shocking similarities between an enigmatic FFVI character and a prominent mid-twentieth century politico. Even though we didn't come up with it. Heh.

    I just like the fact that it covers nearly all aspects of each game in the series, plus the forum let's us discuss more about the game.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.
