Final Fantasy

[Angelalex242]

Since I'm sure somebody must've done it already...these characters are too popular for it to have not been done...has anybody ever written up Final Fantasy Characters?

Say...Cloud Strife? Or Sephiroth?

Or, for a real challenge, the Advent Children version of Aerith?

I figure somebody will probably have a link rather then making one from scratch.

What I've always wondered at is that there will always be a next Final Fantasy.

Making it not all that final.

By the way, I'm probably the only person I know who could o0ly take about eight minutes of Advent Children before the movie's total disregard for reality lost me completely.

To be fair, Nomura did that on purpose. If you watched 'distance', the creators said 'we don't care of it's possible or not, as long as it looks cool.'

Susano has a lot of them on his website.

Cloud and Sephiroth are there, at least. Not having played the Final Fantasy series, I don't know who the Advent Children are.

That is exactly what I wanted. While those are obviously pregame characters in every respect (among other things, Cloud's got a buster sword, not First Tsurugi), they're easy enough to adapt to later game levels or movie levels. Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Some folks have also posted other material related to adapting the game series to the HERO RPGing.

Don't watch a lot of wuxia, do you?

And if you start cranking up ones that are more in line with the end of game version (or for other games) I'd love to host them.

Well, by end of game, I more mean Advent Children. The Cloud presented is really kinda weak...he has less points then Squall for crying out loud. By the time he hits AC levels, he's weaker then Sephiroth, perhaps, but not by much. Sephiroth's presented as a 750 point character, AC Cloud's probably around 600.

Though...if anyone can find writeups for Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo, finding writeups for the other Advent Children versions of characters can't be far behind.

Also, if anyone has an idea for how First Tsurugi itself might be written up, I'd like to hear it.

Unlike other weapons, it's actually 6 swords that can combine in a huge number of permutations into a single blade.

He can use any of the 6 blades by themselves, or he can use 1+2, 1+2+3, 1+2+3+4, 1+2+3+4+5, Full First Tsurugi, Full -2.

And he often takes swords out of the main blade for use as offhand weapons. (The man clearly has ambidexterity by this point, given how often he uses two swords.)

Never mind that awesome parry (and especially bulletparry) skill he has. Yazoo fires like...50-80 bullets at him and hits him twice...once when Cloud doesn't have a sword in hand, and once in the back. Never in actual combat.

well until reacently all the Final Fantasy games were set in different worlds therefore for at least the first nine games they were each world'd "Final" fantasy.

But you throw enough money around and demand more FF-Whatever...it gets done these days.

And I was able to watch it just fine.

I've enjoyed quite a bit of wuxia; I particularly lie a little known movie called Eagle Shooting Heroes because it's so hilarious (and the laughs are purely intentional -- it's a comedy!).

However, pretension is one of my off-buttons, and the first part of Advent Children had that in droves.
