"Vincent? Whoever do you mean?"

Artwork of Kuroki Kaze from the anime Final Fantasy Unlimited. A native of Windaria, his home world was destroyed by Chaos. During the fight Kaze had Makenshi, a survivor of another destroyed world, fire his Magun at Chaos to try and destroy it, Kaze becoming the Soil needed to power it. The effort sent Kaze to Wonderland, where upon awakening he meets and joins up with the heroes.

The Magun is Kaze's weapon, the golden cylinder depicted around his right hand. When it "thaws" in battle, it reveals its true form as a triple-barrelled gun. The Magun is powered by colored Soil, the crystallized souls of those killed by Chaos, and when Kaze loads three Soil bullets into it and fires it, their powers combine to call a Summoned Monster.

"I am the shadow on the moon at night, filling your dreams to the brim with fright!"

Image of the monster "Creeps" from Final Fantasy VIII. First appearing the Deling City sewers and later in Galbadia Garden, the Creeps slithers on the ground, its only features being its two red eyes and a grinning mouth. However it only shows its face when it rears up to strike. It can cast Thunder magic and at higher levels has the Heartbreaker attack, used on the party member that slays it to deal heavy damage with its final attack.

To witness the full form of this eldritchian creature, viewers are encouraged to click this link to view its file page, where it is said its true nature becomes visible in a flash of light upon the mouse cursor being moved over its form.

The Final Fantasy Wiki takes no responsibility for apparitions of the Creeps that one may see lurking in shadows over the next few days.

Just five more minutes...

Screenshot of Vincent Valentine's coffin from Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. Approximately thirty years before Final Fantasy VII, Vincent is shot by Professor Hojo for trying to interfere with his plans to experiment on his unborn son with Lucrecia Crescent as part of the Jenova Project. Hojo experiments on Vincent's half-dead body, and to save him Lucrecia infuses him with the Protomateria that can control Chaos. Vincent is horrified by his transformed body and his failure to save Lucrecia, and goes to sleep in a coffin in Shinra Manor to atone for his sins.

During Crisis Core, Zack Fair finds the coffin and mentions someone sleeping inside, but the player never sees Vincent themselves.

Not featured in-game - Garnet wielding a sword.

Artwork of Garnet Til Alexandros XVII from Final Fantasy IX. In contrast to the previous two games of the series, Final Fantasy IX reverted the increasingly science-fantasy focus of the series to a medieval world of castles, princesses and knights. As part of this shift, character conceptual art was focused on the more traditional art designs of Yoshitaka Amano and more prominently Toshiyuki Itahana, rather than the manga-influenced style of Tetsuya Nomura. This artwork of Garnet varies slightly from her final appearance, where she has dark brown hair and a white top under her jumpsuit.

"Call me Audrey

Artwork of the Malboro as it appears in Final Fantasy II. Among the stronger enemies in the game, the Malboro's variants can inflict status ailments with their normal attacks. When the monster reappeared in Final Fantasy IV, they gained what is now their signature attack, Bad Breath, inflicting a slew of status ailments on the target(s). In every game since, Malboros have become some of the most deadly and feared monsters in Final Fantasy, able to use Bad Breath to incapacitate entire parties on their first turn. Some common variants include the Great Malboro, and the Malboro Menace.

How is it reflecting Refia but nothing else? Magic mirror!

Wallpaper of Refia from Final Fantasy III trying on different job outfits while Ingus, Luneth and Arc peep. Final Fantasy III was the first game to feature many key aspects of the job system as it appears today, including the ability to change jobs with their own special abilities, and it was the first appearance of many recurring jobs. The DS re-release of the game gave distinct names and personalities to what were formerly featureless main heroes, and gave each of their job outfits a personalized touch. Pictured are costume elements for the Knight, Black Mage, Summoner, Red Mage, Ranger, Dragoon, Viking, and Sage, with Refia currently wearing the Devout outfit.

Walk nicely, Miss Cloud!

Artwork of Cloud Strife as Miss Cloud in Final Fantasy VII. When Tifa Lockhart is captured by Don Corneo, Cloud wishes to rescue her from the Don's mansion, and Aeris Gainsborough suggests he dress like a girl, since the Don eagerly welcomes attractive women. The player must collect items from around Wall Market, including a dress, a wig, cologne, and potentially make-up and lingerie, in order to make a passable disguise. The items collected determine which of the three women the Don chooses to be his lady for the evening, and with the best items Cloud is chosen.

The sequence is one of the more infamous subquests in the Final Fantasy series.

September 16th - September 23rd

It's just a vast sea of green nothingness, and you're alone in the middle of it. Like, where are you, where do you go? It's a metaphor for the human condition, man. It's beautiful.

Screen of The Veldt in Final Fantasy VI. A vast stretch of plain south-west of Mobliz, the Veldt is where monsters of the world migrate, and the place Gau makes his home, living among the beasts. Almost all of the normal enemies and a handful of bosses fought in the game can be re-encountered at the Veldt. This allows the player to have Gau learn to copy their attacks as Rages, and to re-acquire items won or stolen from enemies only fought once, or that can no longer be encountered in the World of Ruin.

Jimcloud would like me to mention that holiday event pages are evil

Artwork by Akihiko Yoshida, depicting a chibi resembling artwork of the characters in Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, riding atop a Chinese dragon that is somehow breathing fire, chasing the Square Enix developer Naoki Yoshida. Naoki Yoshida, also known as Yoshi-P, was appointed director of Final Fantasy XIV after its disappointing reception, in the hope of revolutionising it. His love of coffee, bordering on addiction, is expressed in this picture.

...

No, I don't really know either.

A belated 恭喜發財 and happy year of the Dragon to everyone!

Why yes, our userbase does include several 1337 haXXors.

Screenshot of the Killer Bow item in the menu, found in data files for Final Fantasy II. The Killer Bow is a dummied weapon with no attack graphic assigned to it like other bows, and when a party member equipped with the bow attacks they will use the Unarmed graphic. This is one of the earlier examples of dummied content in the series, which would be more prevalent in later games with removed dialogue, enemies and character sprites and models, many of which have spawned rumors about ways the content was meant to be utilized.

As for the weapon's description, obviously someone on the development team has a good sense of humor.

Vaan put on a shirt, And The Fandom Rejoiced

Artwork of Vaan as he appears in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. Vaan is now known as a famous Sky Pirate after the events of Final Fantasy XII, and is first encountered by Luso at the Aerodrome in Moorabella, where he helps Luso foil an airship hijacking. Later, Vaan and Penelo are framed for an assassination attempt on Baron Beltorey, and Al-Cid Margrace arranges for a letter to be delivered to him, advising Vaan to join Clan Gully to find out more about the Clan that framed them, the Khamja. Vaan joins the Clan and becomes usable as a playable character.

Beautiful environments, year 2000 style.

The airship Hilda Garde I from Final Fantasy IX, here shown docked at the Desert Palace. Airships are a staple feature of the Final Fantasy, usually providing a convenient mode of transport for the player characters, or, conversely, an inconvenient method for villains to attack cities. As with many airships, this particular one was built by the game's Cid, using non-Mist technology. It was later stolen by the devious Kuja - but not to worry, Cid soon began building new ones.

Chaotic Evil has never been so adorable

Artwork of Chaos as he appears in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. Similar to Dissidia Final Fantasy, Chaos is at war with Cosmos, and when the balance of power between them shifts, the power of the Music Crystal wanes. Cosmos thus sends her warriors to gather Rhythmia to return power to the Crystal and ultimately defeat Chaos, restoring music to the world. Chaos acts as the game's final boss once the player gathers 10,000 Rhythmia, using the Chaos Shrine theme as the battle music, the only music sequence in the game to have been remixed from its original version.

July 8th - July 29th

Because while Square-Enix loves trolling and teasing their fans, shippers deserve particular attention

Artwork "Tranquility" by Yoshitaka Amano of Cloud Strife and Aerith Gainsborough. Featured on the cover of a booklet enclosed with the Final Fantasy VII: Original Soundtrack, unlike much of Amano's art which is done during development for promotional purposes, this artwork was done after the game finished development and was directly based on Tetsuya Nomura's artwork of the characters, adapted to Amano's own stylings.

This artwork can be found as an easter egg as a wall poster in Parasite Eve, and was used as the basis for Cloud's "Steady Light" outfit in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy.

Yoshitaka Amano Zidane FFIX

Yoshitaka Amano artwork of Zidane Tribal and Princess Garnet of Final Fantasy IX. Zidane and the Tantalus Theater Troupe, his friends and fellow thieves, perform "I Want To Be Your Canary" at Alexandria Castle as a pretense to kidnap Garnet during the play. As it turns out Garnet, fearing her mother Queen Brahne's recent odd behavior, has planned to flee the castle, and she runs past Zidane as he looks for her to sneak aboard the Tantalus airship Prima Vista and leave the kingdom. When Zidane chases her onto the ship and corners her, the two discover that their plans coincide perfectly.

The romance that develops between the two causes Zidane, a flirtacious womanizer, to genuinely fall in love with the princess, while Garnet slowly asserts her unique identity after being freed from her royal lifestyle.

I am not sure if she is brave, default, flying or a fairy.

Artwork from the upcoming game Bravely Default, by Akihiko Yoshida. The artwork depicts one of the main characters, Agnès, who has a special connection to the Wind Crystal. Little is known about the game currently, but it is considered to be a successor to Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light. The game will feature an unusual combination of hand-drawn backgrounds and polygonal 3D characters, making use of the Nintendo 3DS's capabilities.

Sequel to "Runic in the Rumpus Room" (I can't believe Drakey made me say that).

A screenshot, taken from Final Fantasy VI, of Cyan's room, where he had lived ever since the Ruin of the World, atop Mt. Zozo, until the party found him and convinced him of rejoining them.

Cyan spent his time writing to Lola, posing as her dead boyfriend, in order to give her hope and not break her heart. He also spent his time conquering his fear for machinery and "perfecting" his bushido skills*(ifyaknowwotImean).
