Has anyone ever noticed that Geshtal looks exactly like one of those androids from Dragon Ball Z?

Because the creator of DBZ orginally started out working for Square Soft before he left to do his career in animation.

Hypnosis is fake, there is not way to sublimaly implant messages or to og back and discover something lost. Those who say there is are ignorant and are being taken advantage of.

At the end of Sabin, Cyan, and Gau's scenario, why are they sailing to South Figaro to get to Narshe? South Figaro had been taken by the Empire at that point. You'd think the port would be closed to incoming vessels.

When Celes takes the stage as the singer, whatever became of the real Maria?

On the floating continent when Celes stabs Kefka, why doesn't she kill him?

The WOR geography: Notice that Nikeah and South Figaro are both centered on land, nowhere near the coast. But you can sail from one town to the other in the WOR. I guess the damage to the geography isn't as catastrophic as the overworld map would lead us to believe.

I think that in their world, elixirs are used to operate clocks. Every time they take it out of a clock, it stops operating. Or something like that.

The thing that annoys me about FFVI is that they didn't have the technology to flesh everything out. Somethings are highly unlikely, like the fact that the party could beat up all of the Empire attackers at the battle at Narshe without the help of the Returners. None of them were injured. Some things seem exaggerated.

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Especially the fall from the Floating Continent. Could that be something one can live through? Another thing is that Locke can escape with a General sentenced to death, and manage to outrun the Empire. It didn't seem that they had any Chocobos, and somebody must have seen them leave.

Of course, this is a game I'm talking about, so anything can happen, but even fantasy has its own limits.

How is it that they even fall onto the floating content in the first place if the airship get's only high enough to be below it?

At anyrate one thing i dont really understand and that seems to be over looked entirely. How is it that a sickly old man can survive on his own in a town overrun by monsters? What happened to the townspeople and why is it that only four people are left in the entire town?

That's pretty random, and funny.

Seriously, that would be cool if they had the technology to create a major battle. That would emphasize that there is a war going on in the game. I always imagined that the Battle of Narshe was the biggest battle of the Imperial War, or Returner Rebellion.

I really don't understand what exactly Gestahl is supposed to look like. He looks like a dog to me... does anyone else see it? (That has been a persistent random thought of mine throughout the WoB) He looks like he has big droopy dog ears and a dog's nose, lol,,, I've tried looking in the official art and fan art to see other people's depictions but there doesn't appear to be any.

Well, the fit do tend to survive. Maybe they had special tactics...It's quite beyond me. The town was overrun by monsters, and I'm sure it was hard to survive. Even in incredibly challenging situations (such as the suffering in the Holocaust), people have managed to survive.

This whole debate makes me want to call my English teacher up. Remembering her lectures in class, I believed she said that in a fantasy world, at first, you do have to ignore physics and rules in our world. However, there are rules in the fantasy world we must learn to accept. Many of these rules are similar to ones on Earth, mostly because it would be annoying for the script writers to point out minuscule detail. So, because of these limits, we are forced to assume that everything that isn't obviously different is the same as it is on our Earth (and you know the things that really stick out as odd are magic and espers). Otherwise, we can't connect with the characters in the game and what they do while the game doesn't focus on them. (We must fill in the gaps ourselves with our own understandings!)

This is not what it looks like it is. I really don't sit at my tv screen and pick out every detail that is unreal. How would I ever enjoy any of my hobbies?

Err, okay. I'm not gonna pretend I'm an expert in such manners, it was just a topic on one of the classes I stayed awake through. I'm often mistaken, so hold not much stock in my terminalogy.

However, back on topic, have you noticed you can cast "Fire" element spells underwater (Serpent Trench...revisited).

No. You're right. Suspension of disbelief is the right terminology. If you read, watch, or play something with fantasy elements, you must act as if they are real to get the story. For example, if you watch wrestling, you know it's fake, but to truly enjoy it, you must act as if it is real.

As for what you said about Fire spells under water, that's kind of the point. Fantasy does not follow the rules of science, otherwise, it wouldn't be fantasy.

If anybody's wondering my random thought. All of the crap I just said, that's the kind of random crap I think of.

Here's another unexplained detail that boggles the mind. In the WOR

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

isn't it convenient how Figaro cave and the Ancient castle cave both lead into the dungeon of Figaro castle. The castle conveniently stops at the caves' openings.

How about the total world population being less than one thousand? Some grand Empire.

3-5 houses per village?

And none of them have toilets or bathtubs or anything.

The world itself has a dozen or so towns - and no farmland.

How do they make burgers? Where do they get their milk? Wheat for bread? Grapes for wine? Who makes the cider?

Wow. Really random but really true. It's probably less than one or two hundred people in the game.

They must all be busy making countless elixers, tonics, and such. Cider comes from magic spells.

They all use the Empire's bathrooms (That's what started the war and drove Kefka insane, waiting for the toilet).

I think it's less like they have so few towns and more like only certian towns were important or had any relevance to the game at all. Besides i am sure the towns were bigger and had more people in them you just didnt see those parts because nothing important happened in those parts, so it was just easier to show what was important to the town. Look at mobliz. The entire town becomes childeren, yet if you look in the world or ruin, there are more childeren there than there were in the world of balance. This would indicate that either one family had a alot of childeren and stashed them all in random pots around town. Or that the childeren where in houses off screen in there real homes.

Well, yeah. I mean - I'm a writer. I KNOW you have to look beyond what the game gives you. I'm just pointing out how many little errors there are... XD

I'm new here and I had some random thoughts:

"Why are brushes sold in armorys?
"Why is an Autocrossbow or Bio Blaster a tool? What would you use them for?"
"I'm hungry."

I coulda sworn someone said potions didn't taste so swell in the game....

I always thought they'd taste like stawberry!
Hi-Potions oranges...
Megas are something like grape.
And Elixirs lemon!

Anybody else?

I bet Elixir is so darn awesome it tastes like whatever you want it to be.

But as far as potions - come on, when has YOUR medicine ever tasted good? XD

Mmm...strawberry medicine...if only they made that stuff so it didn't taste so terrible...!

I wonder what Ether tastes like.

Can you get drunk off of Elixirs?

I always imagined stuff like that tasted like crap. Medicine from the pharmacy doesn't taste so good, does it?

I don't know, I was influenced by this other RPG.
It had me thinking potions tasted like the good stuff.

Maybe Elixirs and Ethers actually tasted good....
That heals MP, eh?
It's ingredients could be made of magic...
So I guess they could use magic to change the flavor...

Oh gee.

The other thing about potions is not only how they taste, but what consistency they are. Are they oily? Thick? Creamy? Slimy? Not a lot of good options in there.
