X-3 novelization is bullshit, my personal canon is X-2 goes into FF7 in a span of 30ish years and Cloud's father is Brother and you can't loving convince me otherwise.

I miss the implication in the NES version of FF1 that the Flying Fortress was a straight up space station rather than a floating castle.

Because she's not the game's Cid, Cid is the game's Cid.

EDIT: You may as well complain why Krile isn't called Galufrile instead. Or why Sazh's kid isn't called Sazhson. Or why Cecil's kid isn't called Cecildore, or why Yang's daughter isn't called................I don't remember Yang's daughter's name. But anyway

Yeah the argument that she isn't the games Cid because her dad(grandad?) is named Cid is stupid, doubly so because Cidney is the name she got in Japan.

Most iconic moment in FFT is that fight with Wiegraf/Belius to be honest!

A lot of the evil zodiac monster fights are cool, although off the top of my head I can only think of Cuchulain (which I’m spelling wrong) and Belius. And the final battle I guess.

I really like the weird horror stuff with the stones, my favorite moment is when Wiegraf is bleeding out at the monastery and the stone talks to him for the first time. All the death in FFT is super visceral too, you always get that squick sound effect and then they're clutching at themselves and crawling around trailing blood. You've already seen a Zodiac monster at this point but to see the whole deal with the devil at someone's lowest moment is really effective.

I've never thought about it before but some of FFT's tone actually reminds me of Berserk.

I'd recommend it if you get it on steam sale or game pass or something. It's a good game with an obviously hurried up ending.

Cid in FFXV does do the majority of cid things you'd expect. Cindy stays in her lane.

FFT is sweet because you can have a master thief turned ninja that’s so fast they get like 2-3 more turns than other characters and just annihilate enemies with two swords.

There’s also Orlandu who is just broken, I don’t really know what they were thinking giving you someone so absurdly overpowered whose sword gives him auto-haste.

it was skipped in the list so i ask: whats the most moving/powerful moment in FFT
There's a lot of super strong moments in FFT for me:

-Ramza and Delita talking on the hill after Tietra is kidnapped and Argath gets kicked out
-The fort exploding and the aftermath
-Ramza listening in on Ovelia talk about being miserable because she knows she's a pawn, and revealing her best friend was Alma
-The first Zodiac Beast encounter
-Riovane's Castle where there's this complete change in tone/tenor; it's actually disturbing even with the goofy screams the game has where you're hearing people just getting massacred in the background.

Just want to point this one out especially since I have never seen anyone comment on it. Isn't it loving weird how there's no blood in the game until the rampage in the castle happens? You see Wiegraf run someone through at the start of the game and more than a couple deaths but there's specifically no blood at all, but when the slaughter happens and Alma's escaping through the castle the guards are just loving *splattered* all over the place, and now people who get ran through in cutscenes bleed.

-The whole thing where Zalbaag finds out his father was poisoned to death, and everything that comes from that.
-The ending and Delita's last line.

There is a rumor a FFT Remaster is in the works, so here's hoping. Eidos Montreal was looking for playtesters and in the survey they specifically asked if the the applicant had played any FFT releases like War of the Lions, iOS/Android versions, FFTA, and FFTA2.
