v. 4.0
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... We were giving the same answers over and over every couple 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. ^_~)
Previous versions: 3.0b, 2.0, 1.0 (Thanks to Google for saving it!)
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, as those were actually from the
SaGa and Seiken Densetsu series, not actually FF games.)

2 Final Fantasy 2 (not released in N. America)

4 Final Fantasy 4, released in N. America as FF2
5 Final Fantasy 5, finally released in (horrible) English on PSX

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

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!
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 myhkiaka 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.

(which is my own code):

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 originally created by Andrea Hartmann. Thank you! Also, THANK YOU Syine for that great CGI encoder/decoder! And thank you much Kopopo for hosting it for a while! Also, thank another fine taru, Niyopiyo, for helping me find a place to put it after Kopopo's site went down! Thanks to Malango from the RPGamer boards for the logos!
