Final Frantasy

The act of 'pretending' one of the background characters in a franchise is the main character and trying to forget the 'real' protagonist entirely - especially when they are especially irritating.

The most famous example of 'Final Frantasy': The protagonist from Final Fantasy 12, Vaan was vapid irritating and annoying.

Fran on the other hand was softly spoken, easy on the eyes and later revealed to be an overwhelming badass who totally trumped the bunny-girl image to come off as more of a leader than the protagonist.

Because of this, a lot of players muddled with the Party System so that Fran would appear as the player-character and quietly tried to ignore the existence of Vaan at all.

Compare and contrast with Antonym "Reverse Final Frantasy" in FF7 whereby for a short time, Cid replaced Cloud. Since Cid was a character many players didn't use, they were stuck with a leader-character whom they knew very little about, might not have identified with and certainly hadn't trained with, dramatically weakening their party. This meant lots of players rushed through the plot, craving to get Cloud (their preferred protagonist) back into the game, meaning many players don't remember the story of this part of the game and hesitate to repeat it - sometimes giving up entirely or cheating at this point to get Cloud back in replays.

Heal me in Final Fantasy 

Slang for asking a friend to partake in homoerotic activities with you, including but not limited to passionately making out.

Hey man, do you think you can heal me in Final Fantasy?

Aight bro, just say 'no homo' afterward cuz we're not there yet.

Final Fantasy IX

In my opinion, the best game ever. Final Fantasy IX is very different thematically to FFVII and FFVIII since it returns to its roots. Instead of a modern world with mobiles and emails, the setting is pretty simple (although there are airships). It truly feels like a fantasy game and one that is done extremely well.

The characters are all unique and are brought to life by a beautifully written script. Nobuo Uematsu returned for his last solo FF sound track and it was amazing. From the beginning piece 'The Place I'll Return to Someday' to the emotionally powerful 'You're not alone', the music never fails to pull at those heart strings.

The gameplay is solid and enjoyable despite lacking any uniqueness. Which brings me onto another point about FFIX in that it was intended to be a throw back to the earlier Final Fantasys. In that respect the plot, characters and setting were not ground breaking. But all these aspects were done so damn well that Sakaguchi, the series founder called it the best Final Fantasy yet. Uematsu said the same.

In conclusion, FFIX is a magnificent game although it failed to make the impact that many FF fans (such as me) feel it deserved. So, for those of you who haven't played it, go play it now! It is more than just a game, the experience and memories may well last you a lifetime.

I just spent 80 hours playing Final Fantasy IX and it rocks, kupo!

Final Fantasy Phenomenon

The point at the end of a series where characters start hooking up and having kids.

final fantasy xv 

A fantasy based on reality. The greatest ARPG to date. This video game has a dark plot and an incredible cast of characters and a really hot and lethal female lead.

Praising this game is in front of the bad lot of FF fans is like praising anal sex in a Catholic church. Tread carefully within the convulated FF fandom.

Gamer 1: Yo, what do you think of Cindy from Final Fantasy XV?
Gamer 2: She's wonderful. But I don't get why Gladios gets a pass on showing his abs around, and fighting like that in front of enemies - SO MUCH TESTOSTERONE. While female characters are not allowed to embrace their sexuality in this game or be judged for their personality in gaming.
