•Fun Fact: There was actually a Final Fantasy anime!... If you live in Japan. Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals is set 500 years after FFV and is considered a sequel to the game, but the show only lasted 4 episodes. We're not missing much•
K, just from reading the start of this (haven't played it yet), the story is about some strangers who meet up and search for some crystals to try and save them from a guy named Exdeath who's obsessed with "the Void." Well, now I get all those void jokes I've heard, along with some of Dissidia... Yes, this one is short. :(

12DoFF: Four Crashing Airships...
•Fun Fact: Final Fantasy IV was originally released as Final Fantasy II in America, but was returned to it's rightful place with the DS remake•
Yes! I have actually played this one. Battle system's the classic turn-based, story's OK... You follow a knight named Cecil (pronounced seh-sill for some reason) as he and his friends... Umm.... Y'know I'm not real sure what they're trying to do. It might've helped if I'd finished the game.
The dialogue got screwed up in the translator, but it makes it so much funnier to read. "You spoony bard!" is the best line EVER. Because who doesn't love bards that spoon? ..... I know, I know, here's an explanation.

12DoFF: Three Munching Moogles...
•Fun Fact: The real Final Fantasy III is the only FF that was never released outside of Japan. It was, however, later remade for the Nintendo DS•
III was the first FF to introduce the experience point system, a job system, and moogles as well, if I remember correctly. Kupo! This is one of those where you can change jobs at will (my favorite kind of job system!) and you again have four Light Warriors. Also another generic "save the world" type thing, but then again, aren't they all?
Not ruining the story for myself since I haven't played it, but read all you want. The story/characters were kinda bland in the original Japan release, but it goes into so much more detail in the DS remake. Just goes to show you, good things come to those who wait.
And congrats if you get the reference in the title...

12DoFF: Two Tonberries...
•Fun Fact: Tonberries didn't actually appear until Final Fantasy V... It just fit into the song. :)•
Since this is the second day of FF, we are (naturally) talking about Final Fantasy II. Bear with me here, haven't played this one...
Well II was a real piece in FF history. It was much more story-oriented than the first, and also was the first to feature chocobos and a character named Cid. Oh, hey, I'm remembering some now! This is where you find Firion; I remember him from Dissidia. And did you know there was a character named Guy on there?
Well I tried just scanning over the plot, but I don't want to ruin any stories -- I intend on having played ALL these games one day. So here you go, read to your heart's content. :)

12DoFF: And some Light Warriors to save us!!
Yes, my dear friends, this is where it all started back in 1987 -- Final Fantasy! •Fun fact time: Final Fantasy was named because the man who thought of it was about to leave the company, thus it was his "final" fantasy, but it became so popular, the name's stuck for 22 years.• And I am proud to say that I have played this one!.... On PSP. But hey, it counts.
Now I haven't finished it, but basically it's your "world in danger, gotta save it" kinda game. You get four Light Warriors of classes you choose, and trek out to save, well, the entire world. Hmm... Sounds familiar.....
If you're a die-hard FF fan, I'd definitely recommend this game. However, I wouldn't really suggest it if you're a first time player. It'd introduce you to controls and basic battle speed, but the story lacks in a few places.

The 12 Days of Final Fantasy
As of right now, we are still 29 days from XIII, but if you're like me, you're ready for some FF action TODAY! Well once we get down to 12 days, I'll begin posting little bits and pieces about past Final Fantasies, and maybe a little preview stuff for the new one. Basically a this is a preview and a note to remind me to do this. Happy Gaming!

Dante's Strip Club??
Finally!! Real news!! Uhhmmm, err, anyway....
You heard of Dante's Inferno before? It would make sense -- it's a poem turned video game. Basically you're following this guy (Dante, of course) as he travels through the layers of Hell to find his fiance/wife/girlfriend. Sure, I'll admit, it looks cool, and the idea behind it is pretty good, too. That's about where it stops, though.
What sticks out most is how they're really pushing the M rating here. There were so many boobs in that trailer, I felt bad for watching it. They say the control scheme is basically a rip of Devil May Cry, so if you've played DMC, you can play Dante. The color scheme was a bit lacking, too, but I thought it wasn't too bad. Plus you kill babies. Rabid, undead, babies!! C'mon, there's a point in everyone's life where you feel bad for something, and it'd have to be that.
Umm, yeah, well happy gaming people. I'm off to wish I had a copy of Halo 3, because that crap is addictive.
