the second time playing

[the_sandman]

usually when i'm playing final fantasy the first time, i dont really get some scenes and how something from early in the game would relate to something at the end of the game. i dont really get it until i play it the second time. and i'm sure everyone else is the same way.

i mean..the first time i played, i was in the black mage village and the scene where zidane was telling garnet about his life with tantalus and how he tried to run away to find out about himself. well zidane said that he doesnt remember anything but a blue light...than couple weeks later i get up to terra. and the the whole black mage scene is like...not in my head anymore. so i beat the game the first time and wanted to play it again. so the second time playing...i'm in the black mage village again and when zidane said all he remembers was a blue light...i was like "OHHHH...THE BLUE LIGHT!..NOW I GET IT!...THE BLUE LIGHT FROM TERRA!"

since i know a lot of you guys were like me, post some of your experience where you didnt realize how a scene would later be a big part of the game until the second time playing

(SPOILER)Vivi's death seems more apparent now.

But really, I didn't have much trouble with this game. Everything was pretty straightforward. (SPOILER)But all the foreshadowing in FFVII regarding Cloud's true memories seems super-obvious now.

I pretty much still have some trouble trying to follow the plot of the play.

(SPOILER)It is more of an implication that he died sometime between the final battle w/ Necron and the ending movie. Some still argue that he is one of the black mages seen in the ending movie.

I shouldn't of read the spoilers. lol

Yes (SPOILER)Vivi croaking was sad, and it was fun playing the game again knowing that.

I guess seeing the big Eye the second go-round was more fun knowing what it was and such.

i fel happier by not listening to treads like this i just like to think to myself that he (SPOILER)didint die

(SPOILER)It's also stated in the game that those are his sons.

vivi is dead...if one of the black mages were vivi, than he would've talked to puck.

to get the best of games its usually best to play through them at least twice and discuss them on a forum. or get really in depth and figure it out for your self.

Last year I played it again and didn't finish it... maybe i was too busy with MGS, but during the game i realized I had only beaten 2 other FF's

I'm about to play the game again, possibly right now, as I wanted to play all of them before starting it again, so i could catch all of the references to the other games.

Also I think the whole "stopped" thing that the mages talked about isn't them having a short-life span, but more-so of them discovering death. We don't know that the mages they talked about died naturally, they could've been killed. It symbolizes how none of us know when it is our time to die, it could happen within months of our birth or in 100 years.

Does Vivi really die??? I don't seem to remember that the first time I beat it. I guess I'll have to see.

What I find interesting going into it again is that X-Death from FFV also came from a tree...

(SPOILER)the game implies that vivi is about to die or will die soon in the ending sequence. he doesn't die during the game but the game states that he will die soon.
