One of the greatest games of all time

Its clearly considered as one, it is X-Play's top must play RPG as well as #9 on IGN's Best Games Ever 2007. Gamespy called it mandatory gaming. If this language isn't allowed on this page, than remove "one of the greatest games of all time" from Final Fantasy IV's page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.16.199.68 (talk) 17:33, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Kingdom Hearts II?

In the article, it menins how FF6 characters have reoccurred in other games by Square Enix, but I certainly don't remember any of the characters being used in any of the Kingdom Hearts games, and I've played all three released in the US. Frankly, it should be deleted. Caterfree10 (talk) 14:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Acording to the Kingdom Hearts II article (I haven't played it, so I can only go by that), Setzer is in it. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 15:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

The article speaks the truth, Setzer was in it. Arrowny (talk) 19:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay! I remember now! *smacks self* I've been focusing onthe Organization a little too much. *sweatdrop* Caterfree10 (talk) 17:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

PS3 remake?

Are there any plans to remake this game for a seventh generation video game console, like the PS3? Hellcat fighter (talk) 16:33, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Not currently, no. If any game was to be remade for a seventh generation console though, I can't imagine it being anything but 7. 82.4.53.231 (talk) 22:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

If there were 'any plans', they'd surely be mentioned in the article probably within hours of the announcement at a reliable gaming site. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 23:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

If sales of Final Fantasy IV DS (In japan) reach high enough numbers it is very likely this game will be remade for a platform such as that in 3D. (FF3 also recived this treatment). This is speculation at this point but if they remake 5 You can probably be assured that 6 will be remade eventually. Jgale061 (talk) 23:36, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Merging of Final Fantasy Collection

Same as on Talk:Final Fantasy IV#Merging of Final Fantasy Collection. I've merged the information in the Reception section, but I don't know if it flows well this way. I've noticed this section is slightly incomplete here, with a a comment about the sales figure of the game hidden because of a lack of reliable source. Anyway, the recurring problem with the Reception sections of games with multiple re-releases is that we don't really know whether the information should be given release by release or if everything should be blended together... I mean, if the order should be:

Sales figure of the original version
Reviews of the original version
Then sales figure of the first remake
Reviews of the first remake, etc.

Or if it should be:

Sales figure of the original version, first remake, second remake...
Then reviews of the original version, first remake, second remake...

The current order used in the various articles seems fairly inconsistent (in this one at least). The early FF FAs may need some serious revising in this area in terms of prose and standardization. Thoughts? Kariteh (talk) 09:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Non-free images

As far as I can see, the following images fail WP:NFCC#8 and/or WP:NFCC#1, with the overarching "overuse" policy of WP:NFCC#3a also involved here.

I have not mentioned the first screenshot because it could be argued that it is illustrating the "look and feel" of the game, although technically it could well fail NFCC as well. Black Kite 18:14, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I've removed these images except for Image:Final Fantasy VI battle.png and Image:Final Fantasy SGI demo.png. The former illustrates the layout of the battle system of the game, and the latter illustrates a different product altogether. Also I don't see why the first screenshot could fail NFCC, it is indeed used to illustrate the look and feel of the game; it seems that according to you nothing would ever satisfy NFCC at all. However, this needs more input and I wonder why no one else replied yet. Kariteh (talk) 08:33, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

GBA Usa Release Date

I believe that the Usa release date for the Gameboy Advance version was February 5th 2006. Here's a source... http://www.rpgamer.com/games/release.cgi Go there and select Gameboy Advance games for Usa. :-)Dragonblades (talk) 12:11, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Final_Fantasy_VI#Interactive_CG_Game

I was on the Final Fantasy VII article, when I clicked on a link entitled "See Also: Final Fantasy VI#Interactive CG Game" Some nutter calling himself "The Zodiac" has created a page with the above name, and completely hacked it. The background is black, an most of the screen is full of Japanese writing. When I click on discussion, it brings me to the Final Fantasy VI talk page, so I thought I'd comlain here. The Zodiac writes: 'The Zodiac talking. Tell the other websites that they are in for a big treat. Tomorrow I will be spreading my reign, but digress, I will not leave you, because you provide me with such comfort. I think you people should put little 申 boxes on your pages, because I own this website now'. As I said before, a complete nutter —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrnibbles123 (talk • contribs) 16:26, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposal of Characters of Final Fantasy VI

The article is a massive repetition of the plot and character section of this article, and has about a paragraph of reliable sourced information that could be placed here, strengthening this article and eliminating a huge permanent stub. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:30, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Keep but improve The cast of this Final Fantasy is one of the first to called iconic and notable. The rest of the Final Fantasy games from this one down have a list of characters, as do the characters several other video games. I can understand some of the older Final Fantasy games with characters that are less noticable, but I honestly cannot see why this one cannot be brought up to a better, more suitable level. Fenrir-of-the-Shadows (talk) 19:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I completely agree with Judgesurreal777; The plot should be edited out of the "Characters of Final Fantasy VI" article and replace the characters section of the "Final Fantasy VI" article. What's the point of having duplicate information about this topic? Besides, this is one classically famous game all console RPG fans should discover on their own.

67.187.103.117 (talk) 09:57, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Currently, the FFVI character page does little to establish itself from the main article as it's mostly in-universe plot info and very little on the actual creation, implementation, and impact of the characters themselves. My initial reaction is to merge it, but I'd like to think the article could be improved, since these are characters from one of the most beloved games ever. Does anyone know what, if any, inside sources exist on these guys? An Ultimania or sourcebook or developer interview or something? If we could find anything like (translated) that we'd be in business, since the reception section would mostly come from game reviews focusing on the characters themselves, and legacy info like Setzer showing up in Kingdom Hearts and a handful of characters in Secret of Evermore. It's fixable, I think, but only if we have something to build from. Nall (talk) 21:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Keep and improve on the grounds that the characters from FFVI are somewhat notable, but both this article and the character list are of some considerable length. Merging would most likely result in a loss of information, especially as the article which once described FFVI's world has been replaced with a simple redirect and none of its content actually merged in here. I fear that the same would happen to the characters article; in fact I'll go so far as to say that a successful merge proposal would pretty much be a death sentence for the content of the characters article. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 04:58, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Confusion in the Original Translation?

I clicked on the citation and it just took me to a game review which says exactly the same thing without elabouration. The only confusion I can think of is Relm/Shadow in the cave in the second part of the game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.219.63 (talk) 06:03, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
