Now i love FF, as so do many other people :D
But lets face it, there are some pretty ZOMGWTF moments which remind us they are just games.
So here i am going to list my top 5 favorite WTF moments from the FF series :) Enjoy!

5. Flee on the spot - applies to almost all of them
Ok, so you've been in about 50 random battles, you're tired, you just want to get to the end of the dungeon without another battle and then.. WHOOSH. Launched into another frenzy of bright colors and catchy music, you are faced with another random battle. 'Gah' you think to your self, 'ill just flee'. After holding down the correct buttons in order to create a manual flee, we are faced with our first WTF moment; THEY ARE JOGGING ON THE SPOT. Now you may not think this is odd but why is it so hard to run away?! They are all, perfectly in sync with one and other, just jogging on the spot! pah :P

4. It doesn't matter what you wear - almost all of them, bar perhaps FFX-2, FFV
So you've been saving up for that shiny new armor for weeks now. You know, the one that costs 20,000 gil! you buy it, hand over your gil, you try it on - it fits.. but hey wait a sec.. MY CHARACTER LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME! It seems no matter what changes to your wardrobe you make, your characters will always insist on wearing anything new.. underneath their default clothing. oh the shame.

3. raNd0m battles - applies to every single FF game.
You know in FFX when you reach the Calm Lands, and you gaze upon this huge, vast, EMPTY and beautiful field of EMPTYness? You spot a small settlement, a few chocobos and think this will be easy until... CRACK the screen shatters and you've got company. The question is: Where? Where did they come from?! seriously?! they just appear! 'Randomly' :O. Now you may say to me, 'Yeah bUt if deY dint hv randum bttls den we wd nevah lvl uP'. True, and false. Because, my friend, there are several occasions in FF games in which you can see enemies on screen before you engage them! And bear in mind these are normal enemies (in some cases bosses too)! so what is the difference?! why have some random and some visible?!

2. Only when i feel like it: a Phoenix Down Story - applies to every game in which a character dies.
In most FF games, a character dies for good. Which makes me ponder, WHY THE HELL WONT A PHOENIX DOWN SAVE THEM?! You could suggest to me that 'well when a character dies in battle they are only K.O'ed' well if that is the case, why does a spell called 'LIFE' revive them?! Surely it would be 'WAKETHEFUCKUPLAZYBASTARD' if they were not dead? And if that is also the case, why is it a game over when all characters are K.O'ed? cant they just get back up after that fatal whooping? they aren't dead! Because in some scripted battles characters have to all be K.O'ed and they are fine after that!
hmmm

1. Long arms - applies to FF I to VI
In the heat of battle, the sword is drawn. Glistening with the blood of previous enemies slain.. you go in for the final attack! Only to find you dont go in at all! Nope, you step forward a pace, swing your weapon and SOMEHOW it hits the enemy. And dont tell me the game designers couldn't do much with the earlier games when ive seen ARROWS fly and hit their target. Yup. Magic Does too! so nuhh.

DISCLAIMER: I LOVE THE FF GAMES AND THIS IS NOT ME HAVING A POP AT THEM! I AM MERELY BRINGING UP A FEW THINGS I FOUND TO BE AMUSING AND SHARING IT WITH YOU IN FORM OF A LIST BASED ON MY HONEST OPINION.

Peace!
