1)Random monsters carry around plenty of money and random items.
2)3-4 people can ride comfortably on a single Chocobo.
3)Angst-ridden teenagers are often capable of slaying creatures that whole Armies have failed to bring down.
4)Once you have 99 of an item, you're unable to carry any more. However, you're able to carry countless 99's of other items.
5)Hospitals are overrated. Inns can cure you if you're poisoned, petrified, or even blind!

Think up some more? :D

Final Fantasy has taught me that even in the Height of a technological future people still think swinging giant swords around will give u that strategic advantage....
FF VII for instance

State of the Art Guns are 3 times weaker than your average sword.

Always send a boy to do a man's job. He'll get it done in half the time and twice the angst.

Hairstyles often defy gravity, with little to no gel applied.

That no matter how dramatic the music, how breathtaking the views or how powerful the abilities and enemies are - getting from the first cutscene to the final one is one boring ride.

I can only wear 2 rings at a time. Never mind that I have 10 fingers.

Nothing, not even death, will mess up your hair.
People over the age of 30 do not exist.

Bards are Spoony.

If you do manage to live above the age of 30, something will make you look 20 still.

Normal people have nothing better to do than stand around and repeat the same lines, while you have super powers.

Jessiah:
Bards are Spoony.

ahaha, you definitely win at life with that comment.

Gold Armor is stronger than steel, titanium, or even plain iron....

Enemies who join your party, are much weaker after they have. The reverse is also true, that when a party member turns bad, they're always much stronger.

What I learned from Final Fantasy V

You can't use an axe unless you're a berserker.

Old men don't die very easily. Unless they're kings. Or knights. Or werewolves.

If you're a black mage, and you decide to become a dragoon on the spur of the moment, then you'll be wearing dragoon armor.

Things I learned from Final Fantasy VII

If you want to make someone more exiting, give them spiky blonde hair.

Boobs are awesome.

Vincent is also awesome.

If you kill a main charechter midway through the game, it becomes the greatest game of all time.

Materia solves everything. Especially commet. Hoo yah.

Even if a person can destroy the entire solar system, if you belive in yourself, you can defeat them.

Things I learned from Final Fantasy VIII

Apparently, if you have two screws and an iron tube, you can make a rifle.

Introducing Summons as charechters makes the game suck.

Things I learned from Final Fantasy IX

Apparantly, black mages have no faces (hey, it rhymes!)

You're only allowed to use a knife if you're a theif. Never mind that anyone can hold it...

Come to think of it, Black Mages don't have a soul, either (unless they're main charechters)

Unles you're Zidane, your Limit sucks ass.

It's OK to have two summoners, but more than one of anything else and it's considered blasphamey.

I never played Final Fantasy II. Or III. Or VI. Or VI. If I had, I might have understood it a litte better.

Even if a woman is a murderous, disgusting hag, she's really nice on the inside.

Things I learned from Final Fantasy X

PEOPLE OVER THIRTY DO EXIST if only in the imaginations of whales.

If you really want to, you can hold your breath for over five minutes while physichally exaughsting yourself.

Whales are bigger than the state of Rhode Island.

Was Titus black? I had this argument with a friend once...

If you have two romantically involved charechters, then plot is about as worthless as peanut shells.

Things I learned from Final Fantasy X-2

Sequals suck. 'nuff said.

Things I learned from Final Fantasy XII

Ivaiace is more than a little kid's fantasy world.

Balthier is the main charechter.

Things I learned from Final Fantasy VII-Crisis Core

Once you (your hair) goes white, it is phisichally unable to go back, even in the past.

Plots are still for wossies.

Apologies to anyone who liked Final Fantasy. I did, I just thought I'd comment.

Am I the only person in the world who actually enjoyed FFX-2?

It was good for closure, but it was basically just a glorified game of dress-up.

AngryMan:

Nah, I love a girl that has to change in front of me to catch my attention.

What I learned from FFX-2
You don't actually need to have a half decent plot if your prequel has a great plot and you produce tons of fan service and fairly decent gameplay.

Bikini's are excellent armor.

What I learned from Advent Children
You can fight a giant dragon, have a motorcycle chase scene w/ fight and go head to head with a main villain and not so much as break a sweat if you're Cloud Strife

How old his Cid? I'm oretty sure Auron is like 27, people over 30 do not exist!

Important Locations can never be reached in a straightforward way.

Death is nothing more than a mild annoyance if it does not occur during some important event.

No matter how exciting there lives were, and no matter what character a person has, everyone in your party will patently wait till eternity if you do not feel that they are important enough to bring them along.

The final stretch to the end of a journey is much more tedious and boring then those before.

You can, and will, reach all your life's goals and overcome all your weaknesses within a single, epic journey that takes rarely more than a few months at most.

I learnt what pure angst looked like.

Its blue.

If I ever get trapped in some strange world and find out there's some big bad evil, I'm gonna keep clicking my shiny red shoes and wishing I was home. Screw the journey to kill him/her/it.

What I learned from Final Fantasy: Unlimited - yes, English voice actors CAN always be more annoying. And yes, Japanese animators CAN get lazier.

True.

On a similar note, while guns are usually quite weak, and your team can withstand multiple barrages of bullets. If someone holds a gun upto to you in a cut-scene its suddenly very dangerous.
(Final Fantasy 10, when going to rescue Yuna from Seymour)

If there is a really cool vehicle in the game, you will most likely take control of it at some point. If there is an even better vehicle after that, you will either take control of that vehicle or it will get destroyed.

Despite how much people hate the technology or methods used by the 'enemy' (Which includes some of your party) no-one will seem to have a problem when you use one of their airships towrds the end of the game.
(The highwind in VII. The al-bhed airship in X, which Wakka didnt seem to have too much of an issue with)

AngryMan:
Am I the only person in the world who actually enjoyed FFX-2?

No.

In fact, I'd say it's one of the better Final Fantasy games.

It's got the best implementation of the ATB system, making the battles look like there's some actual action going on.

Due to the structure where each area has it's own parallel plot running through the game, it's one of the very few RPGs where the player's actions actually feel like they have ongoing consequences. Most games, once you've solved the one outstanding problem of each village, world, or whatever, will never develop or reference that area again.

Also, there's a sense of fun to the game that FFX had sorely missed, dour and joyless experience that it was.

And, quite frankly Yuna had bigger balls than most of the male FF heroes.

You can actually stick the kettle on, make a cup of tea and drink it in the time it takes Sephiroth to cast Supernova.

I can see most FF fans would want to kill you (and the one you quoted) on the spot for praising this (actually quite good) game. Luckily, I'm not one of them, and I actually plan to get this game sometime in the future. Along w/ its prequel.

Bad pacing ruins a great game.

An airpirate would make a much better protagonist then a girlboy.

Japanese videogames creators are crazy about Freudian psychology.

the one thing it has learned me... physics are a myth

FF taught me hours and hours of grinding is ok just to see the ending you know is coming because you have passed all the plot twists (if any)

Make Bahamut a ship and have no likable characters and your game will fail no matter what series of greatness it is in.

Nobu makes a game. Use his music of perish.

Enough FF12 bashing now (so much wasted time)
A chick with a teddy bear can own giants with huge swords.

Dress as a teddy bear (ya moogle i know) and you can pwn anything.

Mummy's boys can threated to destroy the world.

Smoking doesn't kill it just gives you awesome piloting and engineering skills.

AND FINALY

Terrorists okay as long as they look like Mr T and have a gun for a hand.

(On FF7 & 8 at least)
When ever you leave a city you become a 70 foot tall giant who has a habit of srinking whenever a plant named Jeff wants to attack you.

Cars will stop anything and everyone from attacking you

Hitting a human character with a Molten ball of fire will hurt them but never kill them

If zombies ever attacked me all I would need to do is apply a bandage to them and they will die imediatly

That I have to play fair in every battle I have

If I run on the spot for long enough, I can escape minor enemies

The first/second girl I ever meet will fall in love with me but I won't be interested no matter how hot and interesting(debatable) she is until she gets hurt/killed

(FF7) Whenever I'm not fighting or talking, my companions will merge into me and for some reason NOT become more a more powerful character (Com'on Cloarretifa would rule compared to Gogeta:P)

(FF8) All I have to do to respond is cross my arms and look away

Whatever happens, I know that if I have a sword, someone I know will be using their fists, someone else would have a gun ALWAYS

My pockets have dimensional portals in then so I can hold tools and bars and griffin feets and sides of buildings .....and mamalade.............horse......

Nettacki:

I can see most FF fans would want to kill you (and the one you quoted) on the spot

Unfortunately, I also liked FFXII, so whilst they are rooted to the spot waiting for their turn to attack, I'll run rings around them shooting at them from long range.

the fact that a game can be just as good when not focused heavily on its game mechanics

Most people would want to kill you more if u liked 12, on a side note however x-2 had the most advanced ATB system so far but most jrpgs fans are looking for a decent story and well x-2s, well i won't go into it.

I might join you then, because I too liked FFXII. Although I might reconsider because I also liked FFVII.

oh one more, you must train all characters levels as more than likely your party will split.

-I can defy the laws of physics.

-There is always one town I can visit in foreign countries. In my own country, there's three. Not counting my own, which has likely been burnt to the ground.

-If I'm crossdressing, I'm somehow more attractive than my female party members (who are probably really, really hot).

-If there's a guy wearing a cloak and using a dagger, run the fuck away.

-Nobuo Uematsu = God of FF Music

And something I learned from the Paper Mario series:

-Bowser is a lot more incompetent than you think.
