OMG! Poltergeist is the father of ultimate awesomeness!

[Ultima Shadow]

I can't judge whenever this belongs to FFVI or FFVIII but I decided to post it here, just to disgust Flying Mullet by mentioning "Final Fantasy VIII" in his beloved Final Fantasy VI forum.

And no, this doesn't belong to General FF because General FF sucks.



Anyways... now, let's get to the actual point of this thread (which is pretty pointless anyways):

Poltergeist looks a whole lot like Ultima Weapon from Final Fantasy VIII and I'm pretty sure that Square had Poltergeist in mind while designing Ultima Weapon. Oh, and just in case you have no idea who Poltergeist is, it's one of those magical statues in FFVI.


1) Poltergeist is a creature with 2 bodies. The lower part is a big beast and the upper part is a demon-like figure. Just like Ultima Weapon.
2) The upper part of Poltergeist have wings, just like Ultima Weapon's upper part.
3) The whole form and structure of both the upper and lower part of Poltergeist's body looks a lot like that of Ultima Weapon.
4) Poltergeist's face (upper part) just looks so darn much like Ultima Weapon's face!
5) They both wield a big, cool and totally awesome weapon! (Poltergeist wields an axe and Ultima Weapon a sword)

Yeah... so feel free to discuss whenever I'm right or totally correct!

some good points there. they are very alike. im in a serious mood. You've just missed my hyper one.

Yes, FFVII stole/copied/etc. a lot of things from FFVI. Like Vincent, for one. I guess this is just another.

I'm talking about Ultima Weapon from FFVIII, not FFVII.

You're right though, Ultima Weapon looks a lot like Poltergeist.

It's no news Nomura (and other FF designers) took a lot from Amano designs. ^__^

Yeah, but THIS is really something special! I mean... it's about Ultima Weapon and papa Poltergeist!

Poltergeist owns Ultima Weapon appearance wise…

Although I think that this:



Was probably based upon this:



Come to think of it though, his FFVII form looks more like more like Poltergeist than the FFVIII form…

PS: Ruby Weapon owns both of them.

man ff6 had crappy graphics. I can hardly even tell what it's supposed to be. The color scheme is horrible.

Good find, I guess. Never played ff8 so I don't know.

[Masamune·1600]

For that matter, the "base" of Goddess



might have been behind the Edea design. Who knows?

Never played ff8 so I don't know.

For your own sake, I advise you to immediately pick up a copy of FFVIII.

[Ultima Shadow]

ToD: Well, personally, I think the FFVIII one looks a lot more like Poltergeist. But... whatever.

For your own sake, I advise you to immediately pick up a copy of FFVIII.

*agrees* xD

[Prancing Mad]

I agree totally with you. btw, pointless little things like this are what I live for. That's why I'm on this forum (see my point on how because of the background for doom gaze, it looks like he's wearing untied sneakers). Although, not so much with the Edea thing. Now I think what we need to do with this forum is turn it into a the subject of how FF8 and (place FF here) are actually in the same world.

man the goddess statue is hot! *considers firing up the goddess avatar again*

I hear ff8 has too many movies in it. I get annoyed by the long cut scenes and stuff in ff7, and I hear ff8 has even more. of course, ff6 has lots of cut scenes too. I wish you could fast forward through them without using an emulator.

About the 'crappy' graphics of FF6...
Yeah, they're definitely crappy by today's standards.
But think of when the game was made...
I thought it was amazing considering the way most games looked back then.

[Flying Mullet]

The graphics don't look as bad when they're not blown up.
