Forums - Sony - Can Someone Please Explain Final Fantasy to Me?

Sicilian4391 on 15 December 2007

I am new to final fantasy and very behind. I know that explaining the storyline to me will most likely take hours but if someone could just give me the basic story line on them. I have only played a beat the first one and the most of the fifth one.

Also what is the difference between Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasty Versus XIII

and is every final fantasy a RPG with Battle Screens....

 

I just saw the two trailers for XIII and Versus and would really like to know some more before i buy one next year...

 

Thanks Alot.

Final Fantasy in a nutshell:

  1. Group of random people of varying yet equal power come together.
  2. Evil gets in the way
  3. Big plot revealed.
  4. Interesting twist at mid point
  5. Heroes fall
  6. Heroes rise
  7. Big confrontation
  8. Heroes win

Each new Final Fantasy game is a new world, unless it's like FFX and FFX-2. So there is no overarching story.

1-6 had a lot of themes that were very similar with each other. A lot of those were stripped away in 7, thoug some remain, like the naming of stuff... a lot of stuff from 4 on are still in it... but this is mostly just stuff like "There is someone named Shiva and she uses ice". Though Shiva is a motorcycle now... so she may not use ice. Hmm...

Regardless, with the PS1 and on games it's easier to treat each Final Fantasy as a new IP with some similar naming.

yeah but i was watching with a person who knows a lot about it and they where all like "OMG THIS PERSON IS BACK" and stuff like that..

I feel pretty left out not knowing who anybody is....

Nobody is back... the only recurring character in FF games is Cid, and he's a completely different character in each game.  Your friend may have swallowed some paint chips.  >_>

 Insert "Ride Chocobo" to number 4 and push the rest up 1 number.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

the only thing back i can think your friend was talking about is summons, not characters, cause yes shiva is back after missing FF 12. Im guessing they are returning alot of the old summons.

FF is how twestern explained, each one is pretty much like that, and emotional (cept 12). Each one is in a new world, though often they are called the same.


Versuses and FF 13 are taking place in different worlds, i have no idea behind all of it though



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.
