Just a quick post to confirm exactly when FFVI's official 10th birthday is?

Also will the site be doing anything to mark this event?

The release of the game in the US was October 1994, so we've got a ways to go. I'm not sure when it was released in Japan, and that's definitely likely to be much closer to today.

Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

Anyway, let's party!

Happy birthday FFVI
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday happy birthday
Happy birthday in two days, FFVI

We wish ten more years!
You may be getting old but you're the best and you know it.

Tell us, FFVI, what do you wish?
To transform you into 3-d and repair your bugs?!? But that's make your charm. Don't change! Stay like this!

Like we say in Québec,

Iglou, iglou, iglou
Il est des nôtres
Car il a bu sa bière comme les autres.

Happy Birthday to the best ever!! biggrin.gif

Now, the question is, which beverage should I drink to celebrate this occasion in a couple days? I wonder if there's any drink mentioned prominently in the game itself...looks like I'm on a mission!

The only drink I can think that was mentioned in the game was the Cider the old man in South Figaro always drank and Locke had to steal to get into the mansion. Of course I believe it was some good ole hard cider.

For those of you interested, FF6 was released in the U.S. on October 5, 1994. I just checked my old Nintendo Power. :-D

If you're looking for something to drink to celebrate, I know this isn't from the Caves of Narshe, but how about this: a Merton Dew?

On another FFVI board that I occasionally post on--the Moogle Cafe (pub69.ezboard.com/bthemooglecafe), one of the top admins is named Merton Dew (his title is obviously "Carbonated Beverage"), and it's customary to welcome new members by saying "Welcome to the Moogle Cafe! Be sure to equip a fire shield, and enjoy an ice cold Merton Dew." (Which is, of course, where I got the idea of a traditional welcome message for CoN.)

Anyways, the time now is 6:34 PM EST, 1 April 2004. So what time will it be EST when it reaches 12:00 midnight 2 April 2004 in Japan's time zone? I have a feeling that it's already past, so I'll just pitch in now...

According to FFonline the game was released on October 12, 1994. So is it the 5th or the 12th?

It's the 12th, I recall quite clearly. I picked up my copy on the 14th because I couldn't get to the mall to pick up my preorder on the 12th.
