Okay, a little bit of googling shows that the ortho undie lowers your chances of dating Tifa at the Gold Saucer as finding them embarrasses her. No description though. I’m going with my bra guess.
The real FF3 or FF6, which was released as FF3 in the US?
The real one was for nintendo and had a job system. FF6 was for SNES and had the espers and Kefka.
Man, if he’s playing FF3, he’s got an old school FamiCom (could NES play imports?), can read Japanese, and somewhere scrounged up a cartridge.
FF3 is the only Final Fantasy game never to be released in the United States.
Yeah, I realised I should have specified. I’m still moderately confused about the naming/numbering system discrepancies between here and Japan, but I mean the Kefka one. What an evil laugh that guy’s got!
I’ll partly agree to that. I absolutely loved so many of the towns in FF9, however. I so want to live in Lindblum, with the giant tower palace and the airships!
Many gamers think that Square didn’t release certain games in the US because “we weren’t hard-core enough in those elitist Japanese manager’s eyes!”
In actuality, they just didn’t bother to port the crap.
Was I paying attention? Well, of course, I played everyone of them through more than once.
I still stand by my assertion.
I’ve played VII, VIII, IX, X, Tactics, and Kingdom Hearts through at least once each. Of them all, VII is far and away my favorite. I started playing V which I have on a disk with another, game VI I think, as Final Fantasy Compilation. Gave up on V. Not because it was difficult, but rather because it was SOOOOOOO BORING! Haven’t tried VI yet.
VII was simply more fun than the others. Admittedly, the CGI sequences for the summons could get tedious. That was corrected in X, though. In the menu, there is an option for a short version of the Aeon animations.
There’s a translated ROM floating around out there.
The convention I’ve seen is to use Roman numerals for the US releases, and Arabic numbers for the Japanese. So FF6 = FFIII.
Isn’t VII the one they didn’t finish? All we got was the ‘bad ending’, and there’s boatloads of code and script left in the game? Or was that VI?
No, youre right. They were originally intending to allow you to bring back Aeris. But that got cut. There’s an area which was supposed to be used for it that basically has no point, though it is pretty.
Where? I think you might be talking about the place where you meet Lucrecia, Sephiroth’s biological mother.
Or did you mean somewhere in the Forgotten Capital?
Wrong Cid! FFVII had Cid Highwind. Cidolphus is from FFT.
Hm, it’s not exactly like FFT’s ending was a bowl full of happy either. Bastards. 
Thank you smiling bandit for the one-minute summary of FFVII. It sounds like that’ll be enough to get me through FF:AC, but I’ll keep an eye out for FFVII the next time I’m at a Gamestop or something. (But even then, I’ll have to shake off my addiction to FFXI long enough to finish Front Mission 4, finish FFX, see if there’s anything left in FFT:Advance, buy and play Katamari Damacy, and buy and play FFVII.)
[Squall Leonhart]Whatever.[Squall Leonhart] 
Seriously, who cares which cid it was. All the oens who join your party are pretty much alike: high damage, older than other characters, often an engineer of some sort. Orlandu wasn’t an engineer, but he kicked so much butt it didn’t matter.
Please, tell me more. I think I know what you’re talking about.
I remember what one key area looked like, but I don’t recall where it was. It wasn’t too far from where Aeris got kilt. I think it’s the one with a neat-o looking pool with cool little fish or gems glowing faintly in it. ANyway, it’s very prety, but down nothing in the game. IIRC, there was supposed to be an item you could find or in later in the game, which you could take there, and get a chance to bring Aeris back.
Did the whole room have a blue-ish cast to it, and was there a giant clamshell in the center?
Did you ever find Lucrecia, and reveal part of Vincent’s backstory?
