A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.

actually it was originally called fighting fantasy because the developers would routinely get in violent street brawls after drinking and working on Rad Racer all night

I'm replaying FF6 rn the Pixel Remaster and getting all the trophies, the one where you have to land a Joker's Death on enemies sucked

Also I finished FF16 not too long ago and it ruled!!! Wow!!

A very early meme was the fact that the last line of The Spirits Within from 2001 was Donald Sutherland saying "It's warm." I remember a thread with a lot of pics with "It's warm" written on them in impact font.

I wish they would go back to menu battles. I never really got into the more modern systems like in 15 / Xenoblade etc

Octopath is pretty good but could use a more fantastical story

There's a recurring character who's a bonus boss in FF12 who has a super attack called "Ultimate Illusion" and I thought that was charming.

“Sakaguchi explained that the game was his personal last-ditch effort in the game industry and that its title, Final Fantasy, stemmed from his feelings at the time; had the game not sold well, he would have quit the business and gone back to college.”

He has come out recently and basically said that myth is overblown and that it's "Final Fantasy" because he wanted something catchy like "FF" for the game's acronym. His first choice was "Fighting Fantasy" but it was already held up in licensing, so they went with Final Fantasy as their next choice.

There's a really good retrospective on the first 6 games on the FF youtube channel right now where Sakaguchi gets tipsy and talks about a lot of fun stuff about the games' development, I recommend it.
