subject: FFs VS FFTactics

-> Excuse me?  The only FF part in the game IS Cloud with his limits,
-> but that's it, the "fighting" method is completly different, take ALL
-> the FFs and compared them.. they all use that Blue screen, while FFT
-> uses a different way.. As for the Character Clases? Take FF3, FF7,
-> and maybe FF2, they don't use character classes, unlike FFTactics..
El Wrongo...like what else is new, eh? The White and Black Mage designs
are straight out of the earlier FF's, as well as the Lancer with his
Jump attack, and the different types of Knights.
-> Alroght, the spells are similar.. but EVERY RPG has Fire 1 to 3, Bolt
-> 1 to 3, etc... SO it's not a FF trade mark..
Oh? Demi, Meteor, Holy, Esuna, Frog, Flare, Summon spells like Shiva,
Ramuh, Ifrit, Titan, Odin, Leviathan... The list goes on and on, and
let's not forget the medicinal items like Hi-potions, X-potions, Ethers,
Soft, Remedy, Eye drops, Echo Grass, Phoenix Downs...
-> monsters... As for the Undiscovered territories, every RPG has that,
-> not only the FFs, treasures.. Same thing, all RPGs have them... ALl
-> that you mention, are inclueded in EVERY RPG, not only in the FF
-> series...
Oh? Let's see...places like; Shrine of Chaos, Mirage Tower, Floating
Castle, Matoya Cave, Crystal Tower, Magic Continent, Ronkan Ruins, Magic
Train, Touzas Village, Chocobo Forest, and Semite Falls...all straight
out of earlier FF's...
Treasures? How about the Materia's, Four God's Set, Zeni-sword, Minu
Orb, M-Fiction Novel, Diary of Nanai, M Machinegun, Magical Gun...the
list goes on and on, and all straight out of the earlier FF's...
-> "included" in the FF series, 1- It need that blue dialog box for
OMG! I forgot about that! The dialog box isn't blue??? Well, I guess you
have me there. Heaven forbid they actually change the color of the
dialog box!
-> fighting, the "fighting engine" (you could say) is the same in ALL FF
-> except FFTactics.. Then
Umm....maybe that's why it's called FF "Tactics"?
-> in every FF, you have a Airship, except in FFTactics, all the other
In FF Tactics you have to salvage the Highwind
-> FFs, you can walk around on  worlp map, not only move from one point
-> to another, being limited to where you explore..
-> I think I prove my point..
Not in the slightest...but you have proven that your really grasping for
straws there. FF Tactics is fully within the Final Fantasy world
concept. I'm still chuckling about the blue dialog box thing though...
