I'm currently on a WikiBreak. Sorry for the inconvenience it may cause you, but life has just gotten so busy lately it's insane. So, aside from the occasional edit, or Walkthrough part, I'm gonna be pretty silent for a while. Shouldn't be too long though, hopefully :) WARNING: Some of the info on this page may be a little outdated

Hello, You and welcome to my User Page. As you can see, I've put a lot of work into this. I am very proud of my User Page, and I encourage you to look around. I have it very neat and organized, because that's just the kind of person that I am. I'm still pretty much a newbie, and help will definitely not be turned down. Just please place it on my Talk Page, which is pretty empty right now. With that said, please have a good time on my User Page.
Hello. I am MystRay. I have grown to love and adore the greatest video game franchise on Earth. I have only won a few of the games but in those games, I have delved deep into the universe and have completed nearly every sidequest available. I consider myself to be a very controversial gamer in the sense that I tend to enjoy games that most don't and dislike games that most people love. I love every Final Fantasy game, but some are just better than others. For example, I like FFVII but I think it is very overrated. FFXII still stands as my favorite. FFX is my second favorite and FFIX is my third favorite. I was very excited to find this Wiki and am very happy to be a part of it.
It has been my life's dream to become a published author, and I'm currently in the middle of several ideas. Currently, I only have my biggest project on here, but I will add more. Final Fantasy is one of the biggest inspirations behind these stories.
As I hope you know, my life contains more than just Final Fantasy and video games. Although it may seem that I spend a lot of time here (which I do), I still maintain a life with many other interests.
I love to read. I have unfortunately been doing less and less of this lately, but I just got a Kindle for Christmas, and I'm hoping to start reading again soon. Here are some of my favorite authors and the works they have created.
- J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings and the like)
- C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia, many religious books)
- Cornelia Funke (Inkheart Trilogy, Dragon Rider, The Thief Lord)
- Erin Hunter (Warriors Series)
- Cassandra Clare (Infernal Devices and Mortal Instruments Series)
- Stephanie Mayer (Twilight) (yes, I'm a Twilight fan as well. as I have said before, controversial)
- Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye (Left Behind Series)
As well as reading and playing video games, I enjoy acting. In fact, I am currently in the midst of our school's production of My Fair Lady. Here are some of my favorites.
Another thing that I am a big fan of is music. Just so you know, I can't stand Rock/Rap/Metal/Punk. I mostly listen to classical, FF, country, and pop. Here are some of my favorite artists/composers.
I am a proud citizen of the United States of America.
I live in the tiny town of East Jordan.
I am currently 15 as of 4/29/96.
I have a 4.0 GPA.
I've never had anything lower than an A- in my life.
I have gone to the State round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
I am a member of my school's Quiz Bowl Team.
On top of everything else, I'm an aspiring author. I have made a seperate page so you can view my ideas.
As well as playing Final Fantasy, I also play Kingdom Hearts, Crash Bandicoot, and many other series, even though Final Fantasy is by far my favorite choice and basically dominates.
I currently own FFI, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII, Crisis Core, X-2, XIII-2, FFXII: Revenant Wings, FFIV: The After Years, Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions, Dissidia, and Dissidia 012 in some form or another.
I have horrendous Arachnophobia so I despise Spiders with every fiber of my being.
I currently own 5 pets. 2 dogs named Coal and Graci, and 3 cats named Alex, Jersey, and Mocha. Coal and Alex and Jersey live at my dad's and Mocha and Graci both live at my mom's.
My favortie genres of music are country and classical.
I will admit that Taylor Swift is my favorite artist. My sister really got me into her.
I have over 100 Final Fantasy songs on my iPod.
Based on the counters below, I really need to up my Mainspace, but if you look at my percentages, my biggest is my User Page (...) and then it's my Walkthroughs.

I decided to put this section here simply so that people can see what I'm up to in my Final Fantasy adventure. You may see some of the statuses stay the same for a while, since I like to play many games at once, so I don't get bored with one game.
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance - Not really playing any Final Fantasy right now (except for VI occasionally), but I am invested in this Squeenix title. Wish it was a fully fledge KHIII, but it's still a quality game. I'm liking it.
FFXII - I love this game so much. This was the first main series game that I really got in to. The first one I played was VII, but XII really got me into the series. I love the story and gameplay. Vaan was an abomination, but everything else really made up for it. I love the Hunts and Espers. Currently in my best game, I have all characters around level 80. I have every Esper except Zodiark (Which I have tried to get three times by the way. I keep getting killed right when he's on his last sliver of life. Its so frustrating!). I have completed every hunt except Yiazmat. I am about a quarter of the way through the fight. I also need to fight Omega Mrk XII. That's about it though. I finally got the Tournesol which is by far the hardest weapon to get in the series.
FFX - Where do I begin, this is my favorite, story wise. Even though Tidus's voice is horrendous, he is an all around good character. The journey that he goes through, is epic and incredible. I still weep whenever I see the ending. The gameplay was also excellent. I liked how they moved away from the classic ATB system. My favorite piece of music is also in the game. Fight With Seymour, that plays during the fight with Seymour Omnis inside Sin, is by far the best piece in the series. Currently, I have gotten around half of the Celestial Weapons, and I haven't even touched the Monster Arena yet, except for the necessary bits to get the Celestial Weapons. I have gotten all of the optional Aeons as well.
FFIX - This game is incredible. The story is so mesmerizing and awesome. The ending is my second favorite of the series. Kuja is my favorite character in the series. The emotional depth is incredible. Especially since, at first glance, this appears to be just a kiddy fantasy game. I have yet to defeat Ozma, or win Hot and Cold. The soundtrack of this game is also the best by far in the series.
FFXIII - I have finally won this and I wanted more. This game is amazing. The music is awesome, though not as good as Uematsu. The characters were exceptionally real and this is my second favorite story in the series. The Crystarium was nice, but the Paradigms were good but annoying. The only real downfall was the linearity. It almost replaced IX, but it didn't. The summons were awesome and the graphics were obviously the best in the series. It was just too short. Only 13 chapters! Orphan's Cradle was very well done as were the final battles. I hate Orphan's first form. Second form was a piece of cake. Can't wait for XIII-2!
FFVIII - This may come as a shock to a lot of people, but I actually quite enjoy this game. I found the story good and the characters as well. My favorite summon sequence in the series is in this game as well. I just won this game, so I love it even more. It finally met enough credentials to surpass VII. I'm very happy. The music is spectacular. The final battle was too easy, but I won with Irvine dead, and Squall and Rinoa, both at 1 HP. Irvine was never of any use, and the only things that saved me though were the Holy Wars from the Gilgamesh Card. I just kept Squall at critical HP and used Renzokuken over and over again. I had the Lionheart so it was painfully easy. I had to go through several people first before I got to Rinoa though. Incredible game.
FFI - I've only played it for the PSP, but I still like it. A good beginning game to the best series on Earth. I enjoyed the simplicity of it. One of the major things that I didn't like, was that I kept getting lost everywhere I went.
FFII - I haven't played it yet, but I'm hoping to soon. It looks good from what I've seen.
FFIII - Probably my least favorite of the series. Its too grind-heavy and forgetful. The Job System is good though. I don't like that you have restricted changing of jobs. That was perfected in V though.
FFIV - Complete - I've only played for the DS, and I won it on the PSP, and I really like it. I think later games are much better though. Still a classic. The characters were incredible (except for Rosa) and the story was surprisingly deep!
FFV - I own the Anthology Version, and its awesome. One of the best of the pre-Playstation era. The perfect Job System. The Job System is definitely my favorite system. The villain was awesome, just not as memorable as others. The playable characters were okay. Galuf was the only one that I really liked a lot. I tend to not like the silly end of the spectrum all that much, but this was just the right amount of siilliness and seriousness.
FFVI - I own the Anthology Version, and its tied with V for beting the best in the pre-Playstation era. It just has too many characters. Kefka's also waaaay overrated. I don't really see why people like this game so much. Terra was epic, and the music was pretty good, but I don't see much else that's really extraordinary, besides the story, which is just a given that it will be awesome.
FFVII - Complete - Good game. I own it for the Playstation 1, and it was the first one I played. The downfall is that its waaaaaay too overrated. Sephiroth was an okay villain. Cloud was okay as well. Just not extraordinary. Basically the same problem as VI.
FFVIII - Complete - One of my favorites. I loved the story and characters, and the draw system was great. The one downfall was that the Junction System was too complicated. Triple Triad was awesome as well. It was actually useful! Way too underrated. The characters were deep and the story was incredible. This is definitely the most technologically advanced of the series, but it is still good. This was also the first game where I've completed every single sidequest in the game. I absolutely love this game.
FFIX - Complete - My second favorite in the series. Best characters and music in the entire series. Kuja is my favorite character in the series. Incredible game. I have over 100 Final Fantasy songs on my iPod, and a pretty good majority of them are IX songs. Kuja is an amazing villain. He has a reason for everything he does, which is sort of rare nowadays, and even though he dresses sort of creepily, he is one of the greatest villains and characters of all time. He will fall to a caliber among the greats, such as Darth Vader, Sauron, Tash, and many others. Zidane was also my favorite hero of the series.
FFX - Complete - The best game from a story perspective. The characters were unforgetful. Seymour was great. My third favorite overall. Incredible music as well. Yuna is probably the best female love interest/protagonist there is. Her character was absolutely annihilated in X-2 though. Even though his voice was horrendous, Tidus was a great protagonist, and really did a good job. I think that he makes the biggest changes out of any Final Fantasy hero. The music was very inspirational, and amazing. Fight With Seymour is my all time favorite piece of music from the series, and Zanarkand is very beautiful. Suteki Da Ne is also incredible.
FFXI - Never have played it. Never will. I don't like that this is considered a main series game. It might be okay if it wasn't part of the main series. I've never been a big fan of MMOs anyway.
FFXII - Complete - The best game ever. Vaan was atrocious, but everything else made up for it. The story was mediocre, but the gameplay was immaculate and awesome. I especially loved the Hunts and Espers, even though they were useless after defeating them. Balthier was a real gem, as was every other character (besides Vaan). There were more sidequests than story, but they did it in a great way. Having the Hunts was incredible, and the Espers were hard to find (most of the time), and pretty challenging battles. The music was good for not having Nobuo Uematsu for anything but the vocal song at the end.
FFXIII - Complete - Now that I finally have a PS3, I can write my opinion. It is amazing! The graphics and music are amazing. I was really skeptical about the music at first, but now I am in love with it. I was shocked to find that these were real characters. All I had heard was that they were boring, but these are the most real characters in the series. Yuna and Kuja still dominate though. The only real drag is that it is pretty linear. The battle system is also incredible! I love the Paradigm and Crystarium systems! The License Board is still the best though. The battles mostly remind me of X-2's. All in all, an amazing game.
FFXIV - Look at XI
Crisis Core - Great game. Not as good as main series though.
Dissidia - I love this game! Usually I don't get so addicted to fighting games, but this is just epic!
FFX-2 - Good game. I don't get all of the hate for this game. It is an overall good game with a good battle system. I just wish they had kept the music from X.
FFXII:RW - Even though I'm only towards the beginning of Chapter 2, I am very impressed. Vaan is shockingly enjoyable! I still hate him in the original, but I like him here. The battle system in unique and awesome. I also like that they added more of the original and classic summons, as well as the awesome Ivalician Espers from the original and the Tactics series.
FFXIII-2 - Complete - I think this game was a definite step forward from XIII. The story wasn't that great (love Serah though), but the battle system was absolutely incredible. The thing that really makes this awesome is the Coliseum DLC. Still haven't gotten any of the crystals there but Amodar's (dang you Gilgamesh and Jihl!). All in all, great game.
Dissidia 012 - Awesome game. Took Dissidia, and made it even better. It gets extra points for the inclusion of the best character ever! Yuna!!!
Theatrhythym Final Fantasy (god, I hope I spelled that right) - Complete (I've beaten Chaos...which is sort of the final boss...?) - This game is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very difficult, which is awesome. Soundtrack is, obviously, amazing. Characters are awesome since Yuna's there and yeah. Gameplay is cool too. Easily my favorite spinoff. Sorry 012, but you've been replaced!

#5 - Aria of the Soul - Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4Edit
So I was just recently exposed to this game, and I instantly fell in love. Just like with every game out there, the music is one of the first things that convinces me about a game. This being one of the first tracks you hear, just takes the cake. I might even go so far as to say this is my favorite sound track from a non-FF game! Great job Shoji Meguro!
I have always wanted to write walkthroughs for the series, and I think that I've finally found the place to do them. I first found this section while looking for help on XII. I was trying to do a sidequest or something, and I found the Walkthrough section. I had been thinking of writing a Walkthrough for the series for some time, so I found the perfect spot right here. So here you go...
Well, this took me a little less than two years to complete so you guys better like it! Just kidding. This is my favorite game in the series so if you want help from a "master" just go here.
This is an amazing game. Now, after winning it, I've made up my mind that I'm gonna do this before X. There're already a lot of X Walkthroughs and the Wiki needs more XIII ones, so here you go! Here it is!
