Can't touch this. Seriously, there's no way you can. She's fictional.

Promotional rendering of Dr Aki Ross, protagonist of the film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Hironobu Sakaguchi had intended Aki to be the first digitally produced "actress" who would appear in many different pieces of Square (and later Square Enix) media. However, the poor performance of the movie cancelled every subsequent major appearance by Ross. Aki's only "role" outside The Spirits Within was a promotional film delivered to the Wachowski Brothers before Square Films went on to develop the short film The Final Flight of the Osiris

Aki is the name of Sakaguchi's mother.

*SPOILER* Aerith dies.

A depiction by Yoshitaka Amano of Cloud Strife and Aerith Gainsborough, presumably after her death. After being killed by Sephiroth, Aerith is laid to rest at the bottom of a pool at the Forgotten Capital. The image is not accurate in that the couple seem to be nowhere near a body of water: Final Fantasy VII was the first game in the series whose main character designer was not Amano but rather Tetsuya Nomura. This image is merely a part of the conceptual artwork for the game.

That is technically a sword and not a spatula in his hand.

Artwork of a Judge from Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. Compared to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, in which human Judges under Judgemaster Cid formed a layer of royal bureaucracy loyal to Queen Remedi, Judges in the sequel are magicked golems sworn only to law. Clans seeking a Judge's protection must take heed of enforced laws in every battle, though they do gain protection from death as a nice bonus.

Woohoo! I'm invisible!

The infamous Invisible Man Woman of Cornelia is an NPC in the original release of Final Fantasy whose sprite is impossible to see due to a bug. The Invisible Man Woman has dialogue programmed and the player can still talk to him her, resulting in an awkward moment in which the player seems to be talking to no character at all.

Before the advent of the Game Genie there was no way of determining that the invisible NPC was in fact a woman.

The label says, "Warning: does not restore HP

Final Fantasy "Potions" produced by Square-Enix and Suntory to celebrate the release of Final Fantasy XII. These special edition bottles also came with collectible art cards. Although the herbal drink was reportedly unpleasant to drink, the idea was popular enough for Square-Enix to continue to produce new versions of the recurring item in commemoration of new events, such as the anniversary of Final Fantasy VII and the release of Dissidia Final Fantasy.

Adorable and awesome swirled into one glorious chocobo mix

Concept art from Final Fantasy IX, featuring a unique airship design. Resembling a helicopter, it was instead powered - somehow - by the efforts of a number of chocobos. Unfortunately for gamers, and possibly fortunately for the welfare of the recurring avian race, the concept never made it to the final game.

April 17th - April 24th

"You swore an oath that never should have ended for us

"In my last moments, my memory returned... I drifted off thinking of you, and I was truly, truly happy... So let me say the words I never had the chance to say... Locke... Thank you... I have to go now... But thank you so much for all the happiness you've given me... Please, let go of chains that bind your heart... I release you... Give your love to the one who now dwells in your heart... Love her... as you loved me... Phoenix! ... Be reborn! And give your power to Locke!"

Horror of Antiquity

Prishe's Manikin counterpart in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. The Manikins are the results of failed attempts to summon the Warriors of Light to the world of Dissidia. These distorted palette swaps make up the majority of the enemy encounters in the game. Prishe's Manikin is titled "Horror of Antiquity", continuing the theme of the Manikins of the other secret playable characters: Lady of Antiquity and Warrior of Antiquity.

I'm happy for some reason

The cover page of The Art of Final Fantasy IX an artbook collection of Final Fantasy IX production artwork, including many designs that never made it into the final game. Depicted is a nearly unrecognizable Garnet with white hair and white clothing, which is a vast difference from her more colorful in-game design. Her warm smile gives a strong sense of optimism.

She's FFVIII's only "class act", get it???

A screenshot of Instructor No. 14 Quistis Trepe (pronounced "KEYS-stis Trip") from Final Fantasy VIII. Quistis was a child prodigy, having obtained the rank of SeeD at age 15. Merely months older than most of her students, she faces many hardships in keeping order amongst them, especially concerning her dealings with Seifer Almasy. The nature of her Limit Break makes her the game's only Blue Mage. Quistis has her own fan club, the Trepies, who roam the Garden daydreaming about her.

It seems Yuan forgot to include a humourous mouseover caption

Artwork of Shirma from Chocobo to Mahou no Ehon: Majo to Shoujo to Go-nin no Yuusha, the sequel to Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales. Shirma is a recurring character in the Chocobo spin-off games, always present as a friendly White Mage. She resumes her role of guiding the player through the picture books of the game. Though Majo to Shoujo to Go-nin no Yuusha was released in 2008, no word of an English translation has yet been heard.

This is a varied bunch, just like the FFWiki (Special thanks to Jimcloud, the only user who actually knew who these people were)

The artwork by Akihiko Yoshida of the different races, classes and genders available in Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix's latest release of the main series: diagonally, from the left, a male Lalafell Conjurer, an unidentified female Lalafell, an unidentified Miqo'te, and a female Hyur Gladiator; at the top, an male Elezen Archer, a female Elezen Lancer, a Roegadyn Marauder and, sitting beside them, a male Hyur Gladiator.

It wasn't over until the fat lady laughed

The artwork depicting Queen Brahne of Alexandria after having conquered and nearly destroyed the Kingdom of Burmecia, slaughtering most of its inhabitants, the rat-like Burmecians. This scene marks in Final Fantasy IX the first appearance of Kuja, whose Silver Dragon can be seen at the top, to the right.

The airship at the top, not the dragons at the bottom. Learn moar Ivalice kthxbai.

Concept artwork of a Cruiser Class Ifrit, an airship of the Archadian Imperial Fleets in Final Fantasy XII. The Ifrit is part of the 8th Imperial Fleet, led by Judge Magister Ghis, and is eventually sunk in an incident involving the Dawn Shard.

Following the theme of airship nomenclature in Final Fantasy XII, the Ifrit is named after the recurring summon, and alludes to its summon counterpart by its red energy core and heavy armor compared to airships such as the Remora and Shiva. The Archadian Fleets are so central to the plot of Final Fantasy XII that artwork of the Ifrit, along with several Wyvern, feature on the cover of the International Zodiac Job System edition.

Happy belated Holidays from the FFWiki!

The Blizzard spell from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is available to Benjamin and Phoebe and was the first instance in an English release in which the spell was called so. Why the spell consists of Benjamin summoning killer snowmen that attack the helpless enemy is left as an excercise for the student.

December 26th - January 3rd

Two Lagunas is okay I guess, two moons is Haumean I guess, but TWO KITTEHS IS AWESOME

Yoshitaka Amano's artwork of Laguna Loire from Final Fantasy VIII. The moons allude to Laguna's time in Winhill and the deepening of his relationship with Raine. The cat is a reference to the traditional Asian belief that the cat is a "master" for the lion (the lion being a reference to Squall Leonhart). The double image, however, is perplexingly ambiguous.


December 19th - December 26th

Who's the black gunslinger l'Cie that's a sex machine to all the chicks? You're damn right.

Artwork of Final Fantasy XIII's Sazh Katzroy in crystal stasis. After l'Cie complete the Focus given to them by fal'Cie, they are awarded with eternal life and turned to crystal statues, until the fal'Cie revives them with a new Focus at some future date. This artwork depicts Sazh as he appears when crystallized in the game's climax, though he is glimpsed only briefly.


December 5th - December 19th

Judge League of Archadia

The five Judge Magisters of Archadia from Final Fantasy XII: Zargabaath, Bergan, Gabranth, Ghis and Drace. This elite group of knights are both the chief arbiters of Archadian law and the commanders of Archadia's military, giving them extraordinary power over Ivalice. Additionally, they serve as guards for House Solidor and other high-ranking officials, leading them into conflict multiple times with the protagonists of Final Fantasy XII. They are easily recognised by the elaborate plate armour and helmets they wear.

Isn't she a cutie?

One of the rare, recently uploaded images of Terra Branford in alternate outfits. Instead of wearing her defining red garments, Terra is depicted wearing elaborate and primarily blue clothes. Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy features this as an alternate outfit for her.

Artwork of the land of Vana'diel, by Yoshitaka Amano. Along with Ivalice, the setting of Final Fantasy XI is perhaps the most detailed and varied in the Final Fantasy series. Central to this panorama is the goddess Altana, whose tears are said to have birthed the Enlightened races of Vana'diel. Detailed meticulously around her are the monsters, summons, adventurers and magic of her world.
