Game Over

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Game Over is the scene given when certain conditions are met, the most common one being the entire party being KOed. Each Final Fantasy has a different Game Over scene. From the original Final Fantasy to Final Fantasy VI, there is no Game Over screen, only some words saying the party is defeated.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] Final Fantasy VI

Technically, there is no Game Over screen. Rather, it shows the party leader with a black background fall and then get up. However, unlike future Game Over screens, it goes straight to the last save point instead of the main menu.

[edit] Final Fantasy VII

When the game is over, the camera pans up showing the dead characters, then the game over screen with film reels all over.

[edit] Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-

The screen fades to black with the Crisis Core logo appearing on the bottom-right side of the screen. Note that the words "Game Over" do not appear.

[edit] Final Fantasy VIII

It shows the gun part of the gunblade broken off near a white feather (like those associated with Rinoa).

[edit] Final Fantasy IX

It shows one sword in the middle of the forest.

[edit] Final Fantasy X

The camera pans out from the last KO'd party member and the colored words "Game Over" appears. Sometimes, depending on the stage of the game, the party member's dying words would be heard before "Game Over" appears.

[edit] Final Fantasy X-2

Similar to the Final Fantasy X one, only with ripples around the screen.

[edit] Final Fantasy XII

Screen turns crimson with the words "Game Over".

[edit] Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

The battle scene turns grey and moves to Vaan. The words "Game Over" appear in blood red, and the party gains a little experience. Like Final Fantasy VI, the player returns to the last save point, rather than the main menu.

[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics

Screen turns black and the words "Game Over" appear in ice blue.

[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Screen slowly fades to black and the words "Game Over" appear. This usually happens if Marche dies at a Jagd, sent to prison, snuffed, or the entire party has been KOed at a story battle.
