The FF Code

v. 5.1a

[Changes in this version|Previous versions|Autoencoder/Decoder|Hand encode/decode|Credits]

About the code...

For those of you unfamiliar with how these codes work, it began with... I think the Geek code, awhile back. So that geeks could tell at a glance what variety of geek the other geeks around them were. ^_^ Soon we had the Goth Code, and the Star Trek Code...the list goes on and on.

But here's where the FF Code comes in: on a certain Final Fantasy message board that people used to post on, they noticed people were asking the same questions over and over - How old is everyone here, what was the first FF game you played, who's your favorite character... Everybody was giving the same answers over and over every couple of weeks. A few of them decided there must be a way to stop the repetition, and thus was born... The FF Code!

This is how it works: answer each of the categories below by using the choices given, each of which has a variable. These variables are strung together to form your very own, unique FF code, which you can then post in your autosig, or on your homepage, or wherever you get people asking you what you think about the FF series. (Just make sure you provide a link back to this page so they can decode it. ^_~)

Changes in this version:

Previous versions: 5.0,4.2.2a,4.2a, 4.2, 4.1b, 4.1a, 4.0, 3.0b, 2.0, 1.0

To encode or decode the hard way, just look below. Though if you want to do either the easy way:

Section 1: Game related This is the important part, which makes it the FF code, that's why it comes first. ^_^
[G]

First FF played
(B) Use the Japanese numbering system.
(Note I'm not counting the Gameboy games (other than FF Tactics Advance, and the main series games that were released on GBA or the DS), as those were actually from the SaGa and Seiken Densetsu series, not actually FF games.)

Which FFs played
(#) Same choices as above, choose all that apply, separated by a comma, and add a "b" to each that you've beaten and a "d" to those you've only played as a demo(ie: 1b,4b,5,8db = You've played FF1, FF4, FF5, and the FF8 demo, but only beaten 1, 4, and the 8 demo). Also, FF11 ONLY: If you were one of the beta testers for FF11, add a "*" to it (ie: 11*). Since that's a MMORPG, it probably can't really be beaten, so no b on that game unless someone corrects me by contacting me and telling me there IS an ending sequence.

Favorite villain
(V) Choose one of the villains from the lists above.

How obsessed?
(O) -- I hate the whole FF series! (Then why are you using this code, DUH!)
- Liked one or two of the games, but the rest sucked.
= For the most part, a really good series.
+ Love every one of the games, and will continue to play them.
++ Love them all, anxiously awaited the latest game, and probably have a web site/fanstuff/some merchandise about FF.
+++ I'll buy anything with an FF logo on it! I never leave my house, because I'd have to turn off the SNES/Playstation/Playstation 2/XBox360/GC/GBA!

Section 2: Common debates
The stuff people argue about constantly.
[D]

Amano or Nomura?
(D)
A Amano. (duh.)
N Nomura. (double duh.)
? Who?
= They both have their merits, I like both.

Aeris rumor?
(R)
-- Never believed a word of it.
- Thought it highly unlikely.
= Thought about it for awhile before deciding it was a hoax.
+ Tried it out before realizing it didn't work.
++ Told my friends about it, and later felt very stupid.
? Never heard this Aeris rumor...
! It's a hoax??

Quiefer?
(Q/S) -- Aaaaaaargh!
- It could be possible if done right, I guess.
= (...whatever.)
+ It's cute sometimes.
++ My favorite!
? What the heck?

Aurikku?
(A/R) -- Make it stop!
- Ridiculous, but what can you do?
= Couldn't care less.
+ Ignoring the multiple disturbing factors involved, I kinda like it.
++ They're SO CUTE! ^___^
? Is that some kind of Japanese side dish?

Yaoi/yuri?
(Y) -- Raaaaah! Stupid fandoms!
- Write/draw what you want, but I'm not going to look at it.
= I don't mind it, but don't seek it out either.
+ Very nice when it's done well.
++ Mmmm... yummy. :>
? ...Gesundheit?

Al Bhed proficiency?
(A) -- I haven't even played FFX yet.
- I got the primers in the game, never bothered actually learning it myself - how often would I use it?
= I picked up a few useful words here and there.
+ I've memorized enough letters that I can read or write most anything, given enough time.
++ Al Bhed ec dra luumacd vyga myhkiyka ajan! Gituc du Alexander Smith vun cilr yh yfacusa lnaydeuh!
? What the heck was that "++" response? Random gibberish?
X I'll kill the next person who writes a message in that accursed excuse for a language in my presence.

Section 3: FFXI stuff: [FFXI]
(To be completed ONLY if you play FFXI or have played FFXI in the past. Completely optional even if you are/have. If you don't want to do this or don't play FFXI, ignore this completely.)

Playing currently: (p) Only two answers to this question. That is, y or n. ^^

Main Chara name: (c) Heh, just type it out!

Race: (r) Use the race codes above in the FFXI section. Remember to use sex modifier unless you are Mithra or Galka. ^^

Jobs: (j) Ok. Use the job codes above (Do not list race here), and place level before each one, seperated by commas. Only list jobs you have or had at 50+ unless you haven't made it there yet on any job (or didn't), then just list your highest job. Do not bother listing subjob. Like with me: 75Wm,60Sr

World (w): Place the code for the world you play on/last played on after this.

World codes:
Bahamut =Bt
Shiva = Sa
Titan = Tn
Ramuh = Rh
Phoenix = Px
Carbuncle = Ce
Fenrir = Fr
Sylph = Sh
Valefor = Vr
Alexander = Ar
Leviathan = Ln

Nationality + Rank = (nr) Use the following codes for nationality:
W = Windy

S = Sandy

Then just put the rank number after the code.

Character you most look like
(C) As above, choose one from the list of characters. Hopefully with the new characters in recent versions, this section will be more useful to more people. ;)

And now you're done! Your code should look something like this example (which is my own code):
[G](B)M(#)1b,2b,3b,4b,5b,6b,7b,8,9b,10,11*,Mb,TA(F)9(C)Ry,Zi,Gt(V)So,Kf,Gh(O)++

Bound to confuse and amaze your friends... unless you provide a link back to this page so that they can decode it. ^_^

The FF code was created by Andrea Hartmann. Thank you! Also a big THANK YOU to Syine for that great Perl/CGI encoder/decoder! And THANK YOU much Kopopo for hosting it for me for a while! Thank you muchly to Niyopiyo for helping me find a place to put it permanently! Thanks to Malango from the RPGamer boards for the logos! (You are a WIZARD of Photoshop, mate!) Thanks to FireMyst for warning me that when I first got rid of the "soon to be released" on Crystal Cronicles that I'd jumped the gun..(Oops. My bad. I got it right this time, so don't worry). Also thanks to everybody that told me charas or gave corrections! And thank you to the writer of the FF Compendium for helping me get the lists of the charas. You rock! Thank you to the community on Allakhazam for helping me get the ToAU charas straight! (Thanks guys.), Also a big thank you to Merun, Vorloxu, Darte, and Vhess from The FFXI LJ Community for helping me with WoG charas. (Well, until the next update. XD)
