(Version 2.0 beta)
[About the code] | [Version Info] | [Encode/Decode] | [Credits] | [Vers. 1.0]
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 I post on, we 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... We were giving the same
answers over and over every couple weeks. A few of us 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. ^_~)
[About the code] | [Version Info] | [Encode/Decode] | [Credits] | [Vers. 1.0]
Version 2.0 Info:
FF1
character classes have been added to the character list. (Otherwise it
would be just villains, and hey - who knows? Maybe someone's a big fan
of that little black mage. ^_^)
FF8 characters have been added.
Supporting characters have been added.
To avoid spoilers (such as characters who switch sides partway through
the game, or the names of final bosses), and to avoid the problem of
characters who are alternately thought of as heroes or villains (such
as "Delita" in FFT or "the Turks" in FF7) there will no longer be separate hero/villain lists. Instead, each game will have a list of "characters".
Since heroes, supporting characters, and villains are all in one list,
the "favorite character" question really can be anyone. There will
still be a category for favorite villains, though. However, your
favorite character could
very well be a villain. Especially if you hated the heroes in the game.
Please be realistic when filling these out, though - you may hate Relm
passionately, but she's not technically a villain. ;)
New option in the "Games played" section, for those who have played the demo of a game, but not the actual game yet.
Some new questions in the "Board related" section, since a lot of the
stuff in there wasn't relevant anymore, plus it left some people at
other boards I frequent out.

(Note: Uses the latest version of the code!)
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, as
those were actually from the SaGa and Seiken
Densetsu series, not actually FF games.)

4 Final Fantasy 4, released in the US as FF2

[B](H)+(B)Ff,Fp,Xg,Pk-(N)Sr(A)Mk(I)+
[P](A)+(H)-(W)-(G)F(E)gBr(T)Br,dAu(L)+++(P)swMI(R)Ca(C)Kl
Bound to confuse and amaze your friends... unless you provide a link back to this page so that they can decode it. ^_^
[About the code] | [Version Info] | [Encode/Decode] | [Credits] | [Vers. 1.0]
The FF code was created by Andrea Hartmann. Thanks
again to Syine for that wonderful CGI/Perl encoder/decoder, as well as
Kopopo for a while! Thanks to Niyopiyo for helping find a new place to put it! Thanks as well go out to Sycho
for lists of characters/enemies from FF3j, and Daniel Seltzer
for doing the same for MQ! And as before,
thanks to Ziguld, Froborr, J. Parish, and Shane for help with the
characters/villains lists from FF2j, FFV, and FFT. Thanks to Entreri-X
for a suggested question and double-checking/suggesting characters for
the FF8 section, as well as PsYcHo_CiD, Azriel, and Hawkeye for the
same kinds of stuff... And thanks also go to... well, pretty much
everyone on the RPGamer FF series and PSX message boards for their
support and enthusiasm, and really everyone who suggested things to
add. In addition to the ones mentioned above... hmm, Game Cat,
Agamemnon, and Kusader come to mind right away, but I bet there's
people I'm leaving out... Anyway, hope you like your code!
