(Version 3.0 beta)
[About the code] | [Version Info] | [Encode/Decode] | [Credits]
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. ^_~)

Version 3.0b Info:
FF9 playable characters have been added.
Waiting on adding non-player characters until I've beaten the game and know who the prominent characters really are. ;)
Previous versions: 2.0, 1.0

(Note: Uses latest version of code!!)
This is the important part, which makes it the FF code, that's why it comes first. ^_^

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.)

Hopefully with the new characters in v2.0, 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)1(#)1b,4b,5b,6b,7b,8b, 9,Mb,Tb(F)8(C)Lg,Se,Fr(V)Se(O)++(D)A(R)=
[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]
The FF code was created by Andrea Hartmann.
Thanks again to Syine for that wonderful CGI/Perl
encoder/decoder, as well as Kopopo for hosting it for now!
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!
