Subject: STATS: Final Fantasy Characters


Dang, fellows...I never knew that were so many FF fans on this list! I got a
HECK of alot of requests for FF stats, therefore I'm going to take a small
break from CLOS and JN 1.5 and do a little more for you fellows.

Here's some stats for FF VII and VIII. Also, if given the time and if I see
alot of interest for it; I might try making a Magic System based on the
First 6 FF games and maybe a few swings at the Guardian Force, Materia, and
Esper systems.

FF VII

Note about Magic-Sensitivity (FF VII): In FF VII, characters who wanted to
use Magic had to rely on Materia- a sort of a focus point for magic. From
playing the game numerous times, I've noticed that the Ancients (or people
infused with certain amount of Mako Energy) could use Magic without the
support of the Materia itself. An certain exception of the fact was Aeris
but the reason they made her use Materia was because of the game-play itself
so that could be ignored if chosen.

Getting to the point: The only way you can use Magic without Materia is
either being one of the Ancients (which there are only three left: Aeris,
Jenova, and Sephiroth) or being fused with a certain amount of Mako energy
and thereby giving you a limited amount of control over Magic without the
crutch of the Materia. The soon-to-come Materia system (whenever I have some
free time) will be a mixture of the messed-up Force System in the last
Darkstryder Supplement and something that I saw in a SWAJ (basically it was
WEG's attempt to hone into the FF VII popularity, therefore they made these
Matura wannabe but with the Force).

Cloud Strife
Type: Mercenary
DEX 3D+2
Brawling parry 5D+2, dodge 7D, firearms 5D+1, melee combat 7D, melee combat:
Buster Sword 8D+2, melee parry 8D

This character is Magic-Sensitive
Magic Points: 4
Character Points: 12
Equipment: Buster Sword (STR+3D), Ice Materia, Thunder Materia
Background: At the age of thirteen, Cloud left his hometown of Nivelheim to
join the Shinra forces. Circumstances forced him from the army, and the
ex-Soldier now wanders the world, a brooding mercenary who will accept any
job - if the price is right.

Reluctantly allied with the rebel force Avalanche, the fiercely independent
Cloud joins their fight to preserve his planet's Mako energy. Cloud cleaves
enemies in twain with gigantic double-handed swords.

Cid Highwind
Type: Hotheaded Pilot
DEX 2D+2
Dodge 6D, melee combat 5D+1, melee combat: lance 7D+1, melee parry 6D+2

Magic Points: 1

Equipment: Goggles, flight jacket, lance (STR+1D), pack of cigarettes, Tiny
Broncho (airplane)
Background: Foul-mouthed but kind-hearted, Cid can pilot any machine known
to man. He was a test pilot for Shinra's rocket in the past, but had to
abandon his dreams of flying into space when Shinra cut funding to the
project.

Today, he is mayor of Rocket Town, where he can be always be found with his
goggles, aviator jacket (with "High Wind" and "Air Master" patches), and
several packs of cigarettes. Don't let his agitating attitude put you off;
Cid truly has a heart of gold. His long lances give him a decisive advantage
in any melee.

Sephiroth
Type: Ex-General of Shinra Army
DEX 4D
Brawling parry 9D, dodge 10D+2, melee combat 9D, melee combat: Masamune

This Character is Magic-Sensitive
Magic Points: 7
Darkside Points: 9
Character Points: 30
Equipment: Black Cloak, Masamune (STR+ 4D+2), Various amounts of Materia
Background: Sephiroth is the former leader of the Shinra army. In his days
as a Soldier, Cloud looked to Sephiroth as a leader and role model.

Sephiroth, long thought dead, has returned -- but why? His origins and
destiny are equally hazy. He wields the holy sword, Masamune.

Note: He might seem kinda high in stats but if you ever played the game,
you'd know why =) Basically this mack-daddy could give Vader a run for his
money for a short while before ole Anakin wises up and Telekinetic Kill his
neck=)


FF VIII

Note about Magic Sensitivity (FF VIII): From playing FF VIII (and reading
material put out from Square Soft), only members of the organization called
SeeD can use magic in that world. This doesn't count for witches which seem
to live on that world also. Therefore, Magic-Sensitive people on the FF VIII
world must've either been a SeeD member, been in contact with a Witch (see
game for details) or some other misc. detail that I might've missed out. The
source of the Magic-Sensitivity are the Guardian Forces but that's a whole
other subject....

Squall Leonhart
Type: SeeD Member
DEX 3D+2
Brawling parry 5D, dodge 6D, firearms: Gunblade 8D, melee combat 6D, melee
combat: Gunblade 8D,
melee parry 7D+2
KNO 3D+1
Intimidation 5D, streetwise 4D+2, survival 6D, tactics 6D+2, willpower 7D
MECH 2D
Ground Vehicle Operation 4D
PER 3D+1
Command: SeeD Members 5D+1, search 4D+2, sneak 6D+2
STR 3D+2
Brawling 5D+1, stamina 7D
TECH 2D
First Aid 4D, ground vehicle repair 2D+2
This character is Magic-Sensitive
Magic Points: 3
Character Points: 12
Equipment: Gunblade (see below), leather jacket, griffin necklace
Background: The main character of Final Fantasy VIII, Squall is a cadet of
the special combat unit SeeD from the Balamb Garden Military Academy.

Squall is a relatively short man (but tall in comparison to previous Final
Fantasy characters), and a grumpy teenager only 17 years of age. Stone-faced
and aloof as he may be, he only talks enthusiastically about matters of
interest to him. At other times he is quite short spoken, keeping his
thoughts to himself (as you'll see..). He possesses an expert ability to
learn and improve his fighting skills with his Gunblade.

He is a loner and has almost no comradeship for the people around him,
lacking a sense of team unity and has a tendency to be very anti-social.
Around his neck, Squall wears a necklace which bears a strange griffin-like
symbol which can also be seen near the barrel of the Gunblade

For his inordinate fighting talent he has earned the enmity of Seifer
Almasy, an older student who regards him with jealousy. The scar on his
forehead resulted from Seifer's Gunblade during an intense training session
that got out of hand (shown in the intro).

A gloomy and temperamental teenager he may be, but as the story unfolds, and
his relationship with Rinoa grows ever stronger, we will see the inside to
his cold outer shell...

Seffer Almasy
Type: Rogue SeeD Member
DEX 3D+2
Brawling parry 6D, dodge 5D+1, firearms: Gunblade 7D+1, melee combat 6D,
melee combat: Gunblade 8D,
melee parry 7D
KNO 3D+1
Bureaucracy 3D+2, intimidation 4D, survival 6D, tactics 6D+2, willpower 7D
MECH 2D
Ground Vehicle Operation 3D+1
PER 3D+1
Command: SeeD Members 6D+1, persuasion 4D+2 search 4D+2, sneak 6D+2
STR 3D+2
Brawling 4D+1, stamina 5D+2
TECH 2D
First Aid 4D
This character is Magic-Sensitive
Magic Points: 3
Character Points: 12
Equipment: Gunblade (see below), Grey trench coat
Background: Although Seifer is a talented fighter and leader, he's regarded
as problematic because of his short tempered attitude and inability to
properly follow orders. However, there's something dignified in his bearing
that nobody else has.

Seifer realizes Squall is gifted, so being a very jealous person he is very
envious and even paranoid of him. He is a very competitive fighter, only
settling on victory at everything he does. Although he has a tense rivalry
with Squall, they do hold a certain respect for each other.

Seifer has strong ties with Edea the Witch, but it is unknown what the
relationship is. He is flanked by his two bodyguards and assistants, Fuujin
and Raijin.


FF VIII Weapons:

Gunblade
Model: Dragonscale Armaments, FF8 Gunblade
Scale: Character
Slugthrower
  Range: 3-10/30/50
  Skill: Firearms.
  Damage: 5D.  ( -1D to  armored targets).

speedloader, it only takes one action.
Vibroblade
Difficulty: Difficult

The Gunblade was made by fellow poster, Matt Webber (who's game of Frisbee
is getting better, I might add!). His site, Delusions of Grandeur, is being
rebuilt at the moment because of a unfortunate accident and I'm sure that
he'll be posting the url whenever it's ready. I highly recommend using these
stats (because I definitely know that I'm going to!) and go ahead and say
'Thank you, Matt!" and "We really enjoy them and wish to crown you the
Emperor of the Universe"...oh wait, just say dat to me...



Ok, those were the most requested FF stats. Now if you fellows need any
other stats for other Square Soft games *coughs, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger,
Parasite Eve* =) or more FF stuff, just ask.
