    Default FFIX Characters?

    http://www.the-magicbox.com/0409/game092404c.shtml

    Other than Vincent, other Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy IX characters will also appear in the game.
    I'm not sure where The Magic Box got that information, but I don't know if I like the idea. Cameo NPCs, perhaps, but I really hope they don't join the two games together plot-wise.

    I will do this. Nothing in my life matters except this. No moment in my life exists except this moment. I am born in this moment, and if I fail, I will die in this moment.

    If that's true I'll cry. Even cameos would be bad. I mean do FFIX and FFVII fit in together at all?

    i would say it's a typo, but that seems too deliberate.

    they'd have to change the character models for FFIX, which would be bad.

    There have been alot of rumors and stuff tying Final Fantasies together but none of them, I don't believe, were official. In FFIX there was a reference to a "spikey haired" person if remember correctly. With Squeenix breaking many, many, many old traditions I wouldn't put tying FFs together past them.

    We had a whole big topic a while back in the FF8 section about how the worlds got jumbled together in FF8 during the time compression.

    Yea was it something to do with a spikey guy in a weapon shop? Or was it one of the Alexandrian soldiers talking to some flower girl who says he has looks but ni personality.. maybe it was both.

    But yea as much as I love IX I don't they they'd work together.

    the two don't mesh well. and, the site says its going to be an action adventure. i don't think Square has a good reputation for producing quality games outside RPG's, even if it is a spin-off of the gr8est.

    it would suck big time if they'd throw two ff s into one for example the worlds are totally different i mean how would it look if you could go with steiner in his rusty outfit to esthar plus the world maps are all totally different
    and in XI it was in the alexandrian weapon shop it would happen when you'd look at a big sword zidane would say i remember a spikey haired guy who had such a sword

    The only reason FFIX had so many references to other Final Fantasy titles was because it was their last title before they moved into the "next generation" consoles. It was there to stir up nostalgia. It was there for fun. I still don't think they'd seriously consider a crossover. They've already got that strange FFVII/Dragon Warrior thing going on, I don't think they'd make a habit out of it.

    Wow, website I've never heard of talks about game no- one knows about much yet.

    By "FFIX characters" they probably mean someone will say something referring to Vivi and you'll have to fight a Mist Worm or two.

    That is all too true. They've been expirementing lately. All of these experiments have come out very well for them. Hell, I've become more interested in Kingdom Hearts II than any of the new Final Fantasy titles.

    I understand Final Fantasy being crossed over into other things, like Disney. But I think a Final Fantasy cross-over that's simply bringing two Final Fantasy games together would be very awkward. I think it'd ruin a part of the game.

    Kingdom Hearts managed to bring both Final Fantasy VII and VIII characters together because their prior back-story from the games was erased. They changed them a lot so that they'd fit in with Disney characters in a game rated E for everyone.

    I was just using Kingdom Hearts to make a point about what kind of cross-overs work. Kingdom Hearts took the characters and kept what they looked like (to some extent), kept their personality and set them in with a whole bunch of different situations.

    In Dirge of Cerberus it's the same world of FFVII. The same people exist and the same things happened. The only way they could bring in other characters and have it fit well would be to make a character who looks and acts like and is named Zidane (or anyone else) but have no background as the character Zidane was in FFIX.

    That'd be lame.
