Don't forget that as a necessary part of plot progression you marry off a child-like automaton black mage to a weird frog-eating... Thing.

That part is optional I think, but everyone does it.

I liked this a lot but I didn't like how off the rails it went later in the game. I know FF games usually go nuts towards the end but this felt moreso than the other ones I've beaten (VI and VII) and I didn't know wtf was going on.

It isn't complicated for a Final Fantasy game. There's an evil planet, Terra, that steals the souls from other planets. To this end, its leader (Garland) creates a big soul-stealing machine (the Iifa Tree), and a dude to make sure there's lots of people dying by ensuring there are wars (Kuja). Kuja decides he should be the boss instead, so he finds the one thing on Gaia (the not-evil planet) that can oppose Garland, the eidolons. Garland then creates another guy who can kill Kuja and destroy the entire world (Zidane), only he fucks it up and Zidane forgets everything. Kuja and Zidane return, separately, to Terra. Kuja blows up Garland and all of Terra, then decides to destroy everything else. So he goes to the origin of all life in the universe (the Crystal in Memoria) to blow it up. He succeeds, summoning the avatar of death (Necron), and Zidane and his friends beat up death because they have a chocobo that finds old swords for them under the ocean.

That makes it less complicated than 7, 8, 10, 12, and 13, and only a little more than 6.

Yea I didn't say it's complicated, just it goes off the deep end. I liked the world and characters and disliked the cosmic plot and planet of clones and how all that stuff about Zidanes Secret Clone Origin was retroactively revealed deep into the game.

Not saying ur not allowed to hate the plot, but the zidane clone stuff is not actually that bad, the reveals at the end really tie in the games story arcs and themes with the black mages and kuja wigging out. I thought it would be lame poo poo too but they do ok considering

Nah that makes sense, and I don't hate it I actually really liked it up to a point which is why I care at all. Maybe on a replay I'll feel better about it, I just remember totally checking out and wishing everything was more grounded.

I like how it's tradition in the big city to lock the gates and fill the streets with giant dangerous beasts and watch from windows and balconies as people risk their lives hunting them. I'm probably misemembering that a bit but it was badass.

the moon is evil and kuja is evil, but in the last 10 seconds of the game you find out the real evil behind the evil is the chaos bug from final fanasy 1. bye

No that's canon in the game and should be made into a real thing.

Iirc she thought zidane was cute and wanted to marry him or something childish like that

while marrying someone implies loving, you have to keep in mind the writers did not intend for it to be sexual in nature.

if you thought it was, please meditate under a waterfall until you're cleansed of your dirty brain
