With all the technology in the world, why are chocobo's the only means of long distance travely through the world, and why are so many hidden?


Oh, I don't know about that. They've got a couple of trains and boats here and there.

Don't forget the Airship! And hey, how about the serpent trench? That SHOULD be considered a form of transportation.

My random thought: How, exactly, does the moogle charm work?

The moogle charm works like:
1) a monster aproaches
2) mog breaks out into some bada$% dancing
3) the monsters stop, stare for a sec, and start thinking, "WTF?"
4) while mog dances everyone escapes.
(Kind of like how mario starts dancin in the middle of his fight on Rise of the Mushroom kingdom 3 at Videogamedc.com)

This one always gets me. At the opera, Ultros is sitting there with his 4 ton weight. He tries to push it, then says, "N'ghaaa! This is heavier than I thought! It's gonna take me 5 minutes to push this thing off!"


ultros must be good at math if he know exacly how long time it will take to push the "thing"... i think personally that square enix shouldnt have make ultros say how long time it would take, instead he could have said like: "N'ghaaa! This is heavier than I thought! its gonna take me some time to push this thing off! that sound a little better than saying how long time it will take tongue.gif

well enix did this for humor you have to realize that every ultros encounter had a lighter,funnier side to it

Sometimes he looks kinda like a dog for some reason.
Yeah I know, I'm weird.

Why can't you bid on the 1/1200th of an Airship if you have more than 1,000,000,000 gold?!

Because it's unreasonable to waste 1 million+, especially if you already have your own 1200/1200 sized airship. wink.gif

Why doesn't Kefka try to take the party's Magicite? Ever?

--------------------
FFIVDS looks awesome, right? Especially the character scans. I mean, look at that CGI scan of Yang. You see it and you just think...badass. And then you look at his polka-dot pants, likely stolen from a Dr. Seuss book. And then you just...shiver.

Ha! You guys make me laugh laugh.gif


- Why isn't the Blitz working? I pressed the right buttons.

- What happens to Vargas after you've fought him and why does he run when he is invincible.

- Gau's 3 person underwater helmet.

- How does everyone die at Doma so quickly? It's the water not the air he poisons.

- Why am I fighting things while falling down a waterfall.

- How have none of my characters died after that fall.

- Why is a monster in a painting trying to get with a girl that isn't real, that is just a painting, fucking wierdo.

- When the dragon uses Earthquake how does the Opera House not fall down.

- Why is the monster sneezing at me?

- Why did Kefka want to keep his clown costume after he quit the circus?

~How does Locke take on a dungeon by himself that takes us 2 full parties to tackle?

~Why does mog dance? At what point in being a moogle did he tell all his moogle buddies, "I'm gonna learn to dance to defeat my opponents!"

~Why does interceptor whoop so much more butt than he should? Makes me want him to be a summon or something.

~Why can't I enjoy drinks at the bars? They never sell anything to me.

~How did the final dungeon end up being shaped like a final dungeon? It was said in the game that "one day a strange landmass just materialized in the center of the continent" or something along those lines. And yet... when you walk through it, you feel like you're walking through a carefully constructed evil castle. I know kefka is all powerful and everything, but when did he become an architect?

Why can babies in this game only lie/face one direction?

Possible spoilers: highlight to view
I mean in the ending, Duane and Katarin can't hold their baby properly. Katarin, like, puts it on her legs, and Duane holds it with its head facing him.

No, it wouldn't. There is a difference between KO and death (even though the spell Death will only KO your character, a bit of a mind boggler that one... blink.gif )

This happens in alot of RPGs:

"Ether? That's an anesthetic. What? It lets you use magic? Suuuuure, it does. *Hello, dispatch. We have some drug runners here. 400 grams of ether.*

Hmm, I don't know if this has actually been stated or not above, but Ether is actually a substance that medieval alchemists existed. Ether is believed to be an otherworldly material that makes up heaven. I guess that clears things up a bit, but still... how do you get a piece of heaven into a bottle or something like that? Wouldn't it eventually run out?

Because they're dead, Jim.

KO = representation of character incapacitation as having characters KIA would complicate plot and gameplay.

Death = It's not pining, it's passed on. This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he would be pushing up the daisies. Its metabolical processes are of interest only to historians. It's hopped the twig. It's shuffled off this mortal coil, It's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot.

Dragonball - 1984
FFVI - 1994

If anything, Sabin was based off Goku.

Or, if he has to be based on someone, then maybe, just maybe, the myth Goku himself was based on; Sun Wukong?

In fact, he seems very popular for character designs. Goku, Infernape, and now Sabin (apparently...)

And again, if Locke wanted to bring back Rachel as a ghost, then that would work fine. But he doesn't want a ghost. He wants Rachel back fully alive and well.

how does shiva come out of the esper gate, when she was turned to magicite in the magitek factory? or ifrit fighting kefka in thamasa? I guess they COULD have twin brothers or sisters like maduin and yura.
