Final Fantasy XII: Part One

E

Final Fantasy XII began development in the year 2000, after Final Fantasy Xi's announcement, and would become the game with the longest development time in history when it was finally released in 2006. The development was a tumultuous one as well as an expensive one, costing 35 Million USD to create, an estimated 12 million more than FF10. The game was to be co-directed with Hiroyuki Ito (of FF6 and FF9 fame) and a man named Yasumi Matsuno, who had previously helmed and penned the very popular game Vagrant Story as well as Final Fantasy Tactics. It was Matsuno who had come up with the story of FF12, and Ito, along with battle designer Hiroshi Tomomatsu, was well underway with the creation of his new FF battle system called the "Active Dimension system", drawing inspiration from the plays in American football. It was to be a truly glorious combination of Square's creative teams. And Square-Enix spared no expense. The art team was shipped off to Turkey to draw up design ideas for the game, and much of the early development of FF12 was based upon custom-creating the tools used to make the game, drawing upon the same game engine as FF11 to create a type of MMO experience in a single player game. A couple things about the early iterations of Final Fantasy 12: There was a planned 2-player mode. There were plans to allow for recruitments of non-player characters to join in mob hunts. There was a job system. Basch was initially meant to be the main character of the story. But, as I said before, FF12's development was a troubled one. Halfway through production, Hironobu Sakaguchi, series creator, quit Square-Enix altogether, taking a huge chunk of the Final Fantasy XII development team with him to his new company, Mistwalker. Devastated by this blow to the project, co-director Yasumi Matsuno refused to come to work for a month after the split. Rumors are that Matsuno was extremely temperamental after that. And in 2005 Matsuno stepped down from his position, claiming illness as the cause. He has since stated that though he had in-fact been sick, he felt he had disappointed the staff, shareholders, and fans who were looking forward to the game. Matsuno would later follow Sakaguchi to Mistwalker to work on the game Terra Battle. Series veteran Nobuo Uematsu would also bow out of this Final Fantasy, leaving Square in 2004, Uematsu's only tracks appearing on FF12 would be Final Fantasy's main theme and the ending song, fitting called "Kiss me Goodbye". Hitoshi Sakimoto was the primary replacement for Uematsu, with a handful of tracks created by Square-Enix composers, Hayato Matsuo and Masaharu Iwata. To finish up the game, Matsuno was hurriedly replaced by Hiroshi Minagawa to salvage the game. Later, that same person would be one of the staff members sent to save another troubled FF game, FF14. Within this environment of ever-changing staff members, there were some ever-changing aspects of the game tacked on: The planned 2-player mode and NPC recruitment were dropped from FF12 due to hardware limitations, and the fact that trying to implement those systems would cause too many delays. The Job system was dropped as Square-Enix decided that such a complex system would "confuse the players" as well as make the game's development even longer. This would later be put back in, in a way, with the release of a game called "Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System" in 2007. And lastly, Basch was deemed as too old and too tough of a character for the target demographic of the game, and in order to make up for this, the characters Vaan and Penelo were created. Vaan starting out as a tough guy and ending up an outgoing, spunky kid. In 2005 a playable demo of FF12 was released with the game Dragon Quest 8, and in March of 2006 the full game followed in Japan. In october of 2006, North America received the game, and in February of 2007 it was released in Europe and Australia. Despite all the setbacks, FF12 was a large commercial success, selling over 5 million copies and becoming the 4th biggest Ps2 game of 2006. It was also a mega-hit critically, winning multiple game of the year awards, and recieving top scores by many critics. Yet, a few years later and FF12 is nearly forgotten. Often seen as a low-point in the series, many fans of the Final Fantasy series see 12 as a disappointment. In one of the reviews for the game, Gamespot criticized it for having the weakest soundtrack in the series, and many a youtube reviewer have expressed disinterest in the weak characters of Vaan and Penelo, saying that they had nothing to contribute to the story. Series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi said he couldn't play more than the first 20 minutes, and executive producer Akitoshi Kawazu stated that although he was happy with the perfect famitsu score of 40/40 for the game, he felt that it was far from perfect, and that the storyline did not meet expectations. The legacy of FF12 is a conflicting one indeed… Remixes https://www.youtube.com/watch

Mythic Origins of The Rare Game

E

This week, Kaleb prepares another Mythic Origins episode. Enjoy! Mythic and Literature Origins of Rare Game from Final Fantasy XII Aspidochelon- Likely derived from Aspidochelone, which according to medieval bestiaries is a huge sea creature that resembles a whale or turtle. Dismas- May refer to Saint Dismas, who according to Christian belief was one of the two thieves crucified alongside Jesus. The other thief, Gestas, mocked Jesus for not saving them, Dismas was accepting of his punishment, and asked to be remembered in Heaven. In many traditions, Dismas is on Jesus' left, which is why some depictions of the crucifixion depict his head tilted to the right, toward Dismas. Arioch- Hebrew name that means fierce lion. It originally appears in the BOok of Genesis, being the name of the "King of Ellasar." Aeros- This one is pretty straightforward. Aero is a Greek prefix relating to air and flight. Kris- The kris is a dagger from the Malayan archipelago. It is often made with a wavy blade, and is used for both spiritual means and as a weapon. Ishteen- Means one in Ancient Assyro-Babylonian language. This is symbolic, due to this rare game only appearing once, as he is a Trophy Rare Game. Chocobo- Chocobo derives from a Japanese Brand of Chocolate malt ball, Called ChocoBall. The mascot for the product is Kyoro-chan, a bird who says kweh…. WTF!!7 Anubys- Obviously derived from Anubis, the greek name for the Jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian Mythology. Phyllo- Phyllo is greek for leaf. It is also the name of a greek pastry, which is made up of tissue thin layers. Matriarch Bomb- Another obvious one. Matriarch denotes a social organization style in which the mother, or eldest female, heads the family and descent and relationship are determined through the female line. They are generally the most powerful in political positions also. duism. Vishno- Possibly derived from Vishnu, a popular Hindu god. He is venerated as the Supreme Being in the Vaishnava sect of Hin Imdugud- Imdugud is a lesser divinity of Akkadian mythology. He is the son of the bird goddess Siris. In Mesopotamian Legend, it is known as a lion-headed bird and the sone of the sky god Anu. Also known as Anzu. Tarasque- Derives from Christian Legend. Tarasque was a giant sea serpent with a turtle shell, lions head, and scorpion tail. This beast terrorized France. Saint Martha supposedly charmed the Tarasque into town, where the townspeople slaughtered it. The beast supposedly offered no resistance. Grimalkin- An old or evil looking female cat. Scottish legend refers to the grimalkin as a faery cat that dwells in the highlands. May be derived from the 1570 book Beware the Cat, by William Baldwin. Nekhbet- Nekhbet was an early, predynastic local goddess. She was the patron of the city Nekheb. She was often depicted as a vulture, a creature that Egyptians thought only existed as females, having to adopt children. The preistesses of Nekhbet were called muu, meaning "mothers", and wore robes of white vulture feathers. Cultsworn Lich- Easy one. A lich is an undead creature. Often, this creature is a result of a transformation, such as a powerful person striving for eternal life. This is obtained by spells or rituals, allowing the individual to bind his intellect to his animated corpse, and achieve immortality. Juggernaut- Unstoppable force. Derived from the Sanskrit, Jagannatha, meaning lord of the universe. Kaiser- German title meaning Emperor. Derives from the name of Julius Caesar. Many languages use a descendant of the word Caesar to mean Emperor, such as the Russian Tsar. Tower- This enemy is a derivation of Babil. It is eluded that this is meant to be the Tower of Babel. This is from a story in the book of Genesis. The story tells of how early humanity was living in one city, and begun to construct a great tower that would extend to the heavens so they could see God. God was pissed, and destroyed the tower, and confused their language. Thus forcing people to spread out among the Earth. Luxollid- Derived from the Latin word lux, which means lite. It may use the Latin olim, meaning at another time. This may refer to the Gods of XII creating the creature a long time ago. Rain Dancer- Obvious…. Apsara- A female spirit of the clouds and waters in Hindu or Buddhist mythology. Usually translated to nymphs. And my favorite, Midgardsormr- This name comes from Norse mythology, in which Midgardsormr, or "Jormungardr" was the middle child of Loki and a giantess named Angrobada. Odin threw it into the ocean that encircles Midgar (earth) and it grew large enough to reach around the world. It was foreseen that Midgardsormr would do battle with his arch nemesis Thor, on the day of Ragnarok. The sky would darken from the poison mist from Midgardsormr, and the battle would end with the death of them both. Thor will kill Midgardsormr, and then stagger nine steps before dying from its poison. ***Remix*** https://www.youtube.com/wa

The History of Square-Enix - Part 2: From Power Lines to Programming

E

History of Square-Enix: Part 2 - From Power Lines to Programming As Enix was formed from another company, so was square. The Square we know today was created out of an affiliate of a power company originally owned by the father of a young man named Masafumi Miyamoto. After Miyamoto graduated from Waseda University, he began developing computer games through his father's company, then called Dan-Yu-Sha in 1983. Miyamoto, much like his Enix counterpart, Yasuhiro Fukushima, was much more of a businessman than a programmer. But Miyamoto saw the rising electronic market in japan, and he wanted to make money out of it. Despite his purely financial motivations, Miyamoto figured he knew what it would take to make a good computer game. Through his father's company, he began hiring college graduates and creative types to help work on his games. During this time, it was pretty typical for a game to be made from scratch by one single programmer, but Miyamoto, hoping to save development time, hired many different people for different creative posts during game development. He was especially concerned with making games that were more visually impressive than the other games on the market, so he had applicants do pixel art at part of their recruiting process. He was also sure to bring in programmers who could figure out how to make the games with such complex graphics, into something that the machines could handle. Under Dan-Yu-Sha, the first games Miyamoto produced were called Death Trap, and its sequel, "Will". "Will" was a big success, and sold 100 thousand copies. Following "Will", Square ported another game called "Thexder" to the Nintendo Famicom, which came out before a string of unsuccessful Famicom games. In 1986, as we said before, the Square we know and love was officially founded, and relocated from Yokohama to Tokyo to begin producing a Role-Playing game thought up by the Director of Planning at the company, Hironobu Sakaguchi. Highly influenced by Dragon Warrior, this Role-Playing game would be called DUN DUN DUN!!!! Final Fantasy. There are a couple differing stories surrounding the title of Final Fantasy. The traditional story is that of a company in financial peril and one last ditch effort of a project to save them from utter failure. The other story, (more likely the truth) as told by Sakaguchi, was that he had originally titled the game "Fighting Fantasy", but that the titled had already been trademarked. In order to keep the pleasing sounding "FF" as the game's shorthand, they came up with "Final Fantasy". For more history behind that game, refer back to Episode 1 of this podcast. Anyway, the game was released and was a great commercial success, selling half a million copies and spawning the Final Fantasy series in 1987. Funnily enough, the first Final Fantasy game didn't sell nearly as well as the first Dragon Quest. And we'll see in the later that there is a certain pattern to Square's sales and Enix's sales. You see, Square would sell well in Japan, but even better outside of Japan. Enix would bust the block in terms of Japanese sales, but never would break into the western market all that well. Almost like marketing rivals, the first year a Final Fantasy was released, Enix's project Dragon Quest 2, raised the bar with 2.4 million copies sold.

This week, we interview Daniel Burke of the Beacause Project. The Beacause Project is a long running re translation effort of Final Fantasy VII. Daniel discusses the biggest motivators behind the translation effort. He talks about all the lost moments in Final Fantasy VII. Daniel did more than discuss the simple grammatical and spelling errors of Final Fantasy VII. Hi, guys! Just had the interview and it was a lot of fun.

I had just had a Playstation bought for Christmas 1997 and had come from playing the Sega Megadrive games. I was not prepared for the cinematic FMV opening of FF7 in the slightest. It was way ahead of anything else I had ever seen. The music, the sound, the graphics, the direction - everything. I was awestruck. Then the game started and it just kept getting better. I'm actually getting warm feelings right now thinking about it, and this despite the hours I've already ploughed into the game. The thing that irritated me (the only thing) were the random battles. I wasn't used to that and it bugged me at first - so much so that I couldn't beat Gi Nattak in Cosmo Canyon because I had already escaped around 300 times by that point. I learned to get over my irritation of the random battles from that point on, though. Funnily enough, years later I learned I could have just used that Elixir you can pick up beforehand, rather than go outside and level up. Shame. Although I'd only have gotten stuck again at Materia Keeper. At some point, I realized that this was the greatest game I had ever played. Imho, the game that has come closest in overall excellence since is Final Fantasy X (FF8-9 are great, as is Resident Evil II, MGS1, Sonic and Knuckles, Mario 3, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time...I better stop there, there are so many). What did you think of the final dungeon and final boss(es) of FF7? Too easy and rather bizarrely (pun) shoehorned into the game. But FFs have a habit of doing that with final bosses... Necron, anyone? The music for the three bosses is great, and Sepher Sephiroth is awesome. Even his intro is brilliant. As for the final dungeon, it was brilliantly made and executed. All the way down that chasm I had hairs standing on end. What did you think of One Winged Angel the first time you heard it? I wasn't ready for the choir, that was a surprise. It's one of the greatest in game music history. I personally put it second only to FF7's main theme. It's the genius of Uematsu. In the early days, I was also rather fanboyish, so I tried to add my own voice to it with my cousins', lmao. I opened the disc holder on intro because I realized that the voice files might be being loaded at a later time. I was right. But it doesn't help because instead of the orchestra voices, you get a weird droning tone instead. -Has he ever seen the Spanish translation of this game? If you mean the original one, no... but I don't know Spanish, so it wouldn't help. Someone is using our translation to create a new Spanish translation, too. So that's cool! I do recall that the Spanish version, and numerous others, used the English localization instead of the Japanese. So it was a double whammy. The French version is also terrible. - Phoenix Down vs Phoenix Tail, while i love most of the translations and while i am sure this one is based on sound reasoning, i can't help feel it is uneccesary. This is unlike Aerith to Aries which they later corrected in other games, Phoenix Down has always been translated as such even up to the newest releases. I would have just put this in the same group as the Moogles, something that while it may not be an exact translation but that has been more or less cemented as what that is. It's a fair point, but there is a logical reason for the decision I made. From the start, the plan was to localize it based entirely on the Japanese, using

The History of Square-Enix - Part 1: Rise of the Phoenix

E

This week, Joe has prepared a special history episode. We delve into the origins of Enix. Strangely enough, they began as a real estate tabloid company, formed by Yasuhiro Fukushima. Fukushima is now one of the wealthiest Japanese men. Enix started their foray into video games when Fukushima spent some time in America. He noticed how popular computer games were, and decided to have a contest for building games. Koichi Nakamura, one of the contest winners, would later be a key player behind the scenes of the Dragon Quest series. Enix also began as a publisher, rather than the commmon style of in house game design. Enix's third video game would put them on the map forever. Dragon Quest. Enjoy!

The Mythic Origins of the Summons II

E

This week, our interview with the creator of the Beacause Project fell through, so we are revisiting a fan favorite. This time, we discuss Anima from Final Fantasy X. Anima is the inner self of an individual. Psychologist C.G. Jung, said it's the female side of the male psyche. The Latin meaning of Anima is soul, spirit, ghost; breath of life. We also delve into Bismark, a summon from Final Fantasy VI. Bismark is likely named after the Chancellor of Prussia in the late 1800's. This theory is largely based off of the espers Sea Song ability, which would refer to the Bismarck ship that was sunk in 1941. We move on to discuss the final summon, Crusader, or Jihad. Crusader is another Esper featured in Final Fantasy VI. His name was originally Jihad in Japan, but they censored the name for the North American release of the game, fearing that North American players would associate the name with an Islamic Jihad. Jihad doesn't inherently imply evil. It's usually a term used for the battle between good and evil. It can also be used to describe a holy war, which is most likely the purpose that Crusader serves in Final Fantasy VI. We also move on to talk about a few questions asked by forum users, and declare that the Final Fantasy XIV gift card is the prize. Thanks again for listening, and enjoy the grind!

Necron

Final Fantasy XV Is 60 Percent Finished The new Gold Saucer will bring chocobo racing from Final Fantasy VII, Triple Triad from Final Fantasy VIII, and a bunch of other mini-games and activities. Final Fantasy XIV patch 2.51 is due out next week, on 24 February. During camping, players will be able to have their party eat meals cooked by Ignis, the driver and chef of the group. Eating will give status buffs and other effects to aid in the party's travels. 'Final Fantasy Type-0 HD' Gets Rather Bleak In New Trailer What you may have noticed about the video, which was from the recent Active Time Report Page 4.0 broadcast, is that its somewhat choppy in places and seems to jitter and jumper a bit. Well the game's director, Hajime Tabata, has since mentioned that the demo build of the game won't reach 1080p and won't even be running at 30 frames per second. you'll be able to save and load your progress. As reported by Nova Crystallis, Square Enix announced at the Taipei Game Show over the weekend it has partnered up with XPEC. XPEC is a Taiwanese company that will help finish off developing Final Fantasy XV. Final Fantasy XV director, Hajime Tabata, said it was important to collaborate with XPEC. He described the game as a "large scale project" and it was necessary to have XPEC there to help them finish off its development. XPEC themselves explained it was an honor to work on a project like Final Fantasy XV. They said most of the staff are big fans of the Final Fantasy series. XPEC were responsible for working on the train station level that was revealed over the weekend. They couldn't show much footage though as they are heavily involved with the second half of the game. Honors to the best games of 2014 won't be the only thing handed out at the 15th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards on Wednesday, March 4 in San Francisco, with Final Fantasy Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi set to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the world of gaming.Meggan Scavio, General Manager of all GDC events, talked about Sakaguchi: Over his illustrious and thriving career, Sakaguchi-san has established some of the most successful entertainment franchises of all time, and helped cement the RPG genre in Japan and around the world. But the gaming world owes an even greater debt to Sakaguchi-san and team for making a compelling game narrative as important to game development as its graphics and sound. Final Fantasy helped pave the way for game stories that dealt with death, regret and character development in a mature and significant way, and we're proud to honor Sakaguchi-san as a true leader in the space, and an inspired game developer. During a livestream from the Tokaigi Japan Game Party, Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida appeared to tease an upcoming Xbox One port of the game by holding up an Xbox One controller. While of the course the controller is compatible with the PC version of the game, it was never used during the demonstration. Additionally, Yoshida-san has previously explained that while Square Enix was ready to work on an Xbox One version of the game, it would only do so once Microsoft allowed cross-platform gameplay. He even went so far as mentioning the possibility of having servers with only Windows and Xbox One gamers. With Microsoft recently announcing cross-platform play, perhaps this is the sign that we will soon hear about FF XIV's Xbox One release. Tactics: Here are a few quick pointers for racing the Chocobo Trainer on its highest difficulty: If you are trying to get the sun sigil, you will need to finish this race with a time UNDER 0.0 seconds. I have had a race time that finished at exactly 0.0 seconds and I only won a shitty item. In order to achieve this time you need to shoot to get between 12 and 15 balloons, while only getting hit once or twice if you are fast enough to the finish. It's very difficult but these tips will help you. And remember, use the DPad, it makes maneuvering your chocobo a little easier. Also remember that if you run into an invisible "wall" it will cause your chocobo to make a hard turn back on course. This is sometimes useful when you need a quick dodge. The first ramp like area will try and trick you into thinking you can pickup a balloon or two by moving left. DONT do it! This will cause the trainer to move ahead of you and you won't get a single balloon. Instead stay right, as your goal is to gather a couple balloons and be in front of the trainer as you round the corner. Being ahead of the trainer as you round the corner will cause most of the birds to target the trainer. This helps free you up to gather more balloons without the risk of getting hit yourself. It is very important that you attempt to stay to the right as much as possible, as moving more to the center or left will cause the birds to start targeting you. It is also important to note that while there are some sets of birds that target the trainer while you are in the lead, some will aim for

Final Fantasy IX: Part Two

E

Crimsoncommand I was recently playing FFIX with my brother and thought that it was really odd on how many child characters there were. Honestly, it seems that every child character besides Rydia and Vivi just diminishes the story. To me they are annoying. I'm wondering if anyone else feels this way or what your thoughts are about age and playable characters? Banedrom Long time listener, first time question asker. I started out on Final Fantasy VI with friends before graduating to the PS games. When Final Fantasy VIII came out, it was a graphical dream. Character design was getting more and more realistic. Then I saw the first new about Final Fantasy IX in video game magazines and was a bit disappointed. . Steiner with his frighteningly feminine eyes. And what was Quina anyways? Some see the character design of Final Fantasy IX as a hiccup in the more realistic design since Final Fantasy VIII. Was this a welcome vacation from reality or a disappointment for you guys? Shinru What were your favorite dungeons and bosses in the game? Which bosses and dungeons did you find the hardest? What are your thoughts on the final bosses and final dungeon area? What about the music for the final bosses, did you like it? Did you notice that the Kuja's last boss battle had Nobuo Uematsu get inspired by Black Sabbath's Iron Man song? Did you fight any of the secret bosses like the Tantarian, Hades or Ozma? Hehe Hades was a lot of fun to discover by accident in the final dungeon. Ozma is insane though. I enjoyed the trek through the final dungeon area, having to fight a certain amount of classic FF bosses up to the next checkpoint and I really liked the environments. Necron was insane the first time I fought him, that Grand Cross attack is scary with all those status ailments. I would grip my controller in fear every time he did that attack. A lot of people say Necron was random but he was hinted at a few times in the game if you read the writing on the dungeon walls talking about the god of death. The game does deal with the themes of life and rebirth and death so I never felt that it was weird to have Necron as a final boss. Plus FF9 was paying tribute to past FF games and we all know how FF3, FF4 and FF5 had random final bosses appear out of nowhere so it was trying to recreate that again. How did you guys do against him and what was your final party? Where you doing 9999 Damage with Steiner? Banedrom I know that this is a commonly debated concept from FFIX, but Kuja is a character that really pushes the gender roles. When I first played this game, I thought to myself that was a weird looking female character. Eventually, I was more and more confused as they dialogue indicated that Kuja was in fact a male character. What are your thoughts on Kuja as a "David Bowie as Goblin King - esque" androgynous villain? Void Final Fantasy IX is, in many ways, a throwback to the older Final Fantasy games. What did you think about the old school style and throwbacks in the game? Void The Active Time Events are a really cool way to get to know the characters in Final Fantasy IX. What did you guys think of them? Did you feel that they're an effective way of fleshing out characters? Void I love FFIX, it's my favorite Final Fantasy game. But my major complaint about the game is how slow the battle system is. Not only is the game slow to load into every battle, but a lot of time is spent waiting for ATB gauges to fill up or watching needlessly long attack animations. It is, by far, the thing I dislike most about Final Fantasy IX. So, two questions: Did the slowness of the battle system in FFIX drive you crazy by the end of the game?

Final Fantasy IX: Part One

E

Final Fantasy IX began development shortly before the release of Final Fantasy VIII. A small glimpse into the early process of the game was revealed on the internet by Sakaguchi in 2010. On Mistwalker's blog (Sakaguchi's company), Sakaguchi posted early notes for the opening of Final Fantasy IX. Although the blog post is now impossible to find, an amature translation was jotted down in a forum deep inside the internet: This is probably the biggest glimpse we'll ever get into the process of the making of any of these games: The game's title and then fade to black. -Movie 1- Light emerges as the camera glides over an ocean following a landscape of trees, rivers, and fountains. The sky nears sunset as the camera moves onto the surface of a light fog and behind an airship called the Utsutsu. A large shadow approaches from behind revealing the Theatre ship. -Darkness- Loud rings of machinery fill the area. A dark figure walks forward curiously. The player makes an input for the character's name. The default name is Zidane. *Scratch* The protagonist Zidane lights a match brightening the room with a dim glow. (The match can be moved without the risk of the flame extinguishing, but it will go out in a short period of time. Ignite the match quickly and light the lamp at the center of the room.) The lamp brightens the room completely revealing an arrangement of strangely shaped vases and boxes crawling on the pipe wall at the end of the room. This is the cargo bay area of an airship. "Don!" Three thieves walk in when the player opens the door. One of them jokingly asks Zidane for an autograph. The player can respond to it. Thieves: "Zidane, a Hayakatta." Zidane: "What happened to the boss?" At that moment, footsteps sound from the ascending staircase. Zidane and the thieves turn towards the interruption. "Achoo!" The sneeze sounds boss lol. Thieves: "Boss!" A tall rotund man with a thick beard steps down from the staircase. He runs toward the gang of thieves and the battle transitions to the battle screen. -Boss Battle- Boss Sometime during the fight; "Oh, you guys are pretty good," "I like it!" says the Boss. After a certain amount of damage is dealt, Boss leans over weak and says "That's enough for today." (Toitaro???) Inside the airship (continued) Boss: "Ha ha ha,… Nice shot as usual." ("I'll ask today." Almost loud, Zidane nodded???) "Everyone, gather around!" The screen fades and transitions to Zidane and the thieves gathered around a table with a map spread across it. Boss sitting at the head of the table, initiates the meeting revealing a plan to kidnap a princess during a play held on a theatre ship. The screens transitions to the play. The first act has just ended at a pulling scene and the audience stands up with applause as the lights dim and the curtain closes. The stage director steps forward and informs the audience that there will be a short intermission before the second act begins. At the balcony sits the queen and her daughter Princess Garnet. The knight standing beside Garnet, asks her and the queen if they would like some more tea. The queen answers yes and insists her daughter to have some. The knight fixes the tea and slips a drug into Garnet's cup. He hands the cups to them and watches carefully when Garnet takes a sip. She yawns a couple of minutes later after a few more sips. About a minute later another knight walks in from behind carrying a present. The knight that fixed the tea takes the package and presents it to the queen. "A gift to you, from the theatre," he says. The queen hurries to open the lid and a dozen of oglops jump out. The queen jumps out of her seat panicking. The other guards hurry to her aid. With this distraction no notices that Garnet has fallen asleep and that the knight has run off with her. Inside the airship (continued) Boss: "Hmm, perfect." Thief: "It's a brilliant plan." Thief 2: "This is very rich--!" (or maybe "This will make us rich!" ???) (Pose to pose a big jump in one of the robbers. Vibration, the model falls theater airships. Sakaguchi's notes for movie 4: Close up of Princess Garnet Close up of her breasts. View of her breasts inside the clothes (a little). Also a view of her pendant of royalty.... -Hallway- She rushes away from the hallway. Two stare at each other. Zidane: "Hey, was that.." Thief: "Her breasts look comfortable.." Zidane: "No, no, she was wearing the pendant of the summons permitted by only royalty." Thief: "I fell in Love at first sight.." Zidane: "Deep blue stone… "The Legend of Leviathan", was it Princess Garnet?" Thief: "What are you talking about?" Zidane: "Never mind, change of plan, let's follow after her". Final Fantasy IX would be the last Final Fantasy on the Playstation, and as the series planned to move on into the next generation, it was 9 that was left to fittingly end the single-digit series of Final Fantasy games. Here's a little excerpt form a Famitsu interview with The Gutch. Sakaguchi: I was thinking [of] it as an end.

Final Fantasy VIII: Part One

E

Final Fantasy VIII Final Fantasy VIII was released for the PlayStation in 1999; February 11th in Japan, September 9th for North America, and October 27th for Europe.The game arrived on PC for Windows in 2000. It has also been available in the PlayStation Network since 2009. The game was developed and published by Square. Final Fantasy VIII's development began in 1997, while Square was working on the English localization of Final Fantasy VII. The beloved and treasured Hironobu "The Gutch" Sakaguchi served as the games executive producer, while primarily working on his own demise; which takes the form of 2001's Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. This lent the position of director for the game to Yoshinori Kitase. The battle system for Final Fantasy VIII was designed by Kitase and none other than Hiroyuki Ito. For the visual design, Kitase knew he wanted a combination of fantasy and realism. He aimed to create a cast of characters who appeared to be ordinary people. Tetsuya Nomura and art director Yusuke Naora worked tirelessly to achieve this feel by creating realistically proportioned characters. Naora also attempted to enhance realism by bright lighting effects while creating appropriate shadows. They also used motion capture technology to give the games characters more lifelike movements in the FMV sequences. The designers felt compelled to invert the atmosphere of the previous games, which were themed as light emerging from darkness. This decision was easy for the team, since they almost all worked on Final Fantasy VII, and felt a new direction was a good idea. The world designs were improved from the last title, due to the experience the team had working within their graphical boundaries. Another part of the "realism" theme that Kitase so desired, was noted with the realistically inspired architecture for the areas. This is noted with the Ancient Egyptian and Greek architecture. We also see a nod to Paris, while throwing a super high tech city in the mix to give it a different, futuristic feeling as well. In an attempt to maintain a foreign atmosphere, the characters designs were predominantly European in appearance. The first Final Fantasy VIII character to be developed was Squall. Nomura gave squall a fur jacket as a challenge to the games FMV designers. Thankfully, they accepted the challenge, and the jacket looks super realistic. Even if it seems slightly out of place… Nomura also found a place for some previously designed characters, such as Edea, Fujin, and Raijin. Nomura designed Edea based on the style of Yoshitaka Amano. Final Fantasy VIII also featured the series' first lyrics based song. This took the form of Eyes on Me, by Faye Wong. The game received positive reviews, and was also commercially successful. In just two days after the North American release, Final Fantasy VIII became the top selling video game in the US, and would remain in that spot for over two weeks. As of March 31, 2003 the game had shipped 8.15 million copies worldwide. This was the fastest selling Final Fantasy title at the time.

The 2014 UFF Podcast Awards!

E

News: Final Fantasy Explorers: According to Siliconera, Japanese Amazon reviews on the new monster-hunter-like Final Fantasy game note that although people liked the game, most were expecting something MORE similar to Monster Hunter. Insead, there were many complaints that there was too much walking in the game, being compared to Final Fantasy XI. There has been talk of a patch to address these problems, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. Final Fantasy XIV: The last patch of the current patch cycle for the game, before the release of Heavensward, patch 2.5 entitled "Before the Fall", is not only an ominous title, but also a patch of epic proportions. This is what we know about the patch according to Square Enix: "Part one of Before the Fall is scheduled for the mid to end of January with the release of patch 2.5, which contains myriad challenges for adventurers of every persuasion. The patch will include roughly two-thirds of the final main scenario quests, three new dungeons, and the conclusion of the Crystal Tower questline and the World of Darkness. The patch will also feature the adventures of Hildibrand─agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire─on his latest (and perhaps final?) investigation, a new battle against Odin, the Dark Divinity of legend, in Urth's Fount, new gear for gatherers and crafters, numerous new recipes, and more. We have plenty planned to make this patch a befitting prelude to the end of the 2.X storyline. There will be much to do in patch 2.5, and before we bombard you with more in part 2, we'll be offering players a change of pace with patch 2.51, which focuses on the introduction of the Gold Saucer. It bears mentioning, however, that the establishment is known as the Manderville Gold Saucer in Eorzea. You'll have to check it out for yourself to figure out where this moniker came from. Including chocobo racing, chocobo breeding, and the return of the FF card game Triple Triad, you can look forward to a fun and relaxing time in the Gold Saucer. Part two of Before the Fall is scheduled for the end of March, closing the curtain on the story that brought about the rebirth of Eorzea. What trials and tribulations await the Warrior of Light? What drastic turn of events will grant passage to the reclusive nation of Ishgard? Only time will tell." Final Fantasy XV: According to gameranx: Final Fantasy 15 lead game designer Wan Hazmer shared some new details regarding the game in a panel named The History and Future of Final Fantasy. We'll pass over details mentioned before and discuss what they revealed here that's new. Wan stressed the importance of camping periodically. Basically, camping is when you have an opportunity to power your self up, using food you can prepare using different ingredients. These effects gradually decrease in time, giving you incentive to camp again. Also an incentive to camp is experience. While you earn experience throughout the game, you can only 'cash in' that experience and level up at camp. The game will now have a 60 minute day/night cycle. 40 minutes of that will be daytime, and 20 minutes night. The doubling of a day from 30 to 60 minutes implies there are some tasks that will take you a considerable amount of time to accomplish. Final Fantasy XV: As per the recent interview between Famitsu and Hajime Tabata: They're trying to make a more realistic feel to the games dimensions. They based the town we saw in the most recent trailer on the people and design of the Bahamas. We will be able to talk to NPC's, and they will react accordingly to a prince in their presence.
