Interesting. Thanks for sharing that :<3:!

You're welcome.

FFT: References to FFIV (the ruins of Baron Castle, the Tower of Babil, or at least the ruins thereof, the old flight school where the pilots of the Red Wings were trained, etc) as well as VII (Cloud, Aeris the flower girl, materia, etc).

Tactics actually has references to every Final Fantasy in the numbered series that came before it. Go here for more about that: FFCompendium.

FFX: ... the Farplane, which looks just like the lifestream in FFVII with a better special effects budget, the sphere's similarity to materia, etc)

Those aren't so much references as they are the continuation of a theme that's been pervading FF since Final Fantasy VII, and had its beginnings at least as far back as VI. Go here for more information on that: Spirit Energy and Memories in Final Fantasy.

If you don't like references to previous FFs in your FF titles, then for the love of God don't play FF9. There's about twenty references every five seconds in that game.

[silverpigeon97]

both games had chocobos, an airship, a blonde guy with a sword for the main character, a wierd dog like character and the main character had juts arrived in the place where the sotry was set

[TheAbominatrix]

Almost all FF games have had chocobos and airships.

[Sarkis]

Yep every Final Fantasy game has had at lest one airship. (not adressing Spin off's or side adventures like FFT allthough FFTA had an airship refrence.)
And all of them have had Chocobos Since FF3 and posibly ff2. I cant say for serten becouse I honistly cant force myself to play FF2 all the way through. I know Cid allso made his First apearance in FF2.

Dayum! I didn't realize there were that many references between the various FF games until I read that. Thanks for the Info, it will definitely help with a project I am currently working on.

Actually, airship references abound in FFT as well. Note that the final battle takes place at the Graveyard of Airships. Also recall that the Castle of Trials is described as a military school from which the Red Wings (FFIV reference) graduated. While this seems to be an error (there was a Citadel of Trials in FFI, but nothing with that name in FFIV), the mention of the Red Wings should immediately conjure up the idea of airships. A number of previous airship names (such as the Enterprise and the Blackjack) also appear in FFT, although they're not actually airships within the game.

The first chocobo appeared in FFII, although its role was admittedly minor.

Oh give me a break. If they had wanted to hook VII fans, they could have done so easily by making it like VII. Sheesh, get over the VII obsession/X bashing.

Anyway, all FFs have references to eachother. If Spira is the same world as the one we see in FFVII, it'd be so very far in the future (or even the past) that it may as well be a completly different world.

thank you

exactly. which brings up something i always thot about. would ne1 like to see a PREquel to a FF game?u may kno what happens, but at least it could be presented in a way such as Revenge of the SIth or something along those nostalgic lines. i thikn it would be very interesting to go back 1000 years in spira, or 5000 years in ffix. iuno. just pondering. ne1 agree?

neways, i never how closely the plot to resembled to the Spirits within
until i played ffvii (finally). the whole crater, alien, prison scene, futuristic appeal, etc etc.

[crashNUMBERS]

Yeah their worlds are 2 different places all over...

[-N-]

Square owns both, so they can reference themselves whenever. It's just for kicks.

While I'd like to see a prequel, I dont think I'd want it that far back. I think prequels are more interesting when the people involved are somehow connected to the people in the originals (though 1000 years for X would work, cause that's when the big war happened, and Tidus was around and such, right? Or Shyuin or whatever). Anyway, I'd really love to see a War of the Magi prequel for VI, but for the others I'd be most interested to see what happend to the characters parents and such, or something like that.

I cannot Belive I forgot about the final battle, I meen You ON a freaking airship lol. The others I missed womehow so thanks for bringing them up in fact it seems FFT had more Airship refrences then FFTA. Oh and thanks for telling me about the Chocobo in FF2 i'll prabably never Finish that one. ><


I allso think that Playing through the war of the magi would rock.
