These Final Fantasy Fan Theories MIGHT Be Real

[@ErekLadd]

What are some of your fan theories? I’d love to know!

[@NAzo.]

You could make 2 new topics about 1) The development of Final Fantasy 6 in how they were finished with the game and the game was going to originally end at the floating continent. But they were way ahead of schedule about 3 months I think and they decided to add more to the game where the second part of the game starts for those who know what I mean within that span time. Which is why Gogo has practically nothing to him or her backstory. Also, the Final Fantasy 8 version we got is the cut into pieces version. In the original Laguna was going to be part of the main lead and not as a side character like in the final version. There's some remnants of it in the final version of assets for Laguna's part. If you want to know a bit more I believe the youtube channel Final Fantasy Union just covered it some days or a week ago. It was rumored to be 8 discs long but I doubt that. I also read it over at wikia's page for the game. I'm sure there's a lot more development stories like this for Final Fantasy that I would like to know more about. Like the lost Final Fantasy 7 early SNES sprite version where only screenshots of it exists. There's also cut content like the two mysterious town songs Nobuo Uematsu composed that never made it to the final version of FF6. It was released as a special mini disc soundtrack called the Final Fantasy 6 Special Tracks named Town 2 and Town 3. I'm sure you can find it on youtube on what they sound like It's so different from the rest of the FF6 Soundtrack it must of been real early. I wish we can get another round with Kitase or Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu about these questions things.

The developers debunked the theory of Squall being dead

[@PixelShade]

I mean, I don't know if I want Aerith to come back if her personality is "Yo! Let's roll homie." xD

[@ErekLadd]

I know right 🤣🤣

[@geoffreychauvin1474]

Gogo is also in final fantasy V and is how you get the Mime job class. They are just some sort of dimensional traveller

[@ErekLadd]

Most likely the case!

[@Toadeater]

I have heard that Gogo is Relm's mother. There are three characters that can waer the Memento Ring. A ring that was from Relm's mother. Relm, Shadow (Relm's father) and Gogo (Relm's mother)

[@ErekLadd]

Oh that’s an interesting one as well!!

[@nostalgicnicknacks]

I love the idea that Gogo is Daryl. Makes sense! Great video!

[@ErekLadd]

Yeah imagine that!!

[@NAzo.]

The theory around Gogo in FF6 has been long debunked by Kitase. Gogo is just a character added late in the development with no background to his/her story whatsoever that's it. So any Daryl is Gogo, it's not the Gogo from FF5 who uses the rift when you successfully mimic or whoever are misleading and lies. The world building in both FF7 and FF10 has been confirmed by Kitase but they only share it in its conceptual story and bits of scenes like as you have it in the video of that scene in FF10-2 what Shinra says is deliberately put there to lay that foundation, there's also a photograph of what looks like Shinra in FF7 Remake. That is no longer a theory since it's in the wikipedia under "Legacy" for both games. While the Squall is dead theory was debunked by Kitase he did say he might use it in a remake of FF8 if it gets green lit. I'm having a hard time remembering if anything was said about the Knights of the Round as this one is relatively new to me. I think it's just a normal summon. I can see how the theory would work but it's not enough to buy into it. There's more theories such as Rinoa being Ultimecia. This was I was hoping it was legit because it would make more sense to me than the actual game's story. If anybody wants to listen to Kitase talk about fan theories there's two video below: "We talk to FFVII Remake producer Yoshinori Kitase!" by EDAMAME Arcade Channel, watch?v=BA1gwFKq7u0 "Yoshinori Kitase retracts his statement on _________ fan theory _______" by reibitto, watch?v=k8asSQorSng

[@josephplacke9283]

They confirmed ff7 an ff10 are connectected an you can even see shinra from ff10 sitting in a picture in the shinra building in ff7

[@uppernimbus]

I chuckled when you were talking about the 'Aerith Lives' theory 🤣 It's pretty funny stuff. Great list!

[@ErekLadd]

Yeah it's hilarious! But so many people believed it for years!

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

I like some of these theories as I think it actually expands some of the Final Fantasy Games, lore, and also enhance some of the characters. I like the theory that the Gogo from FFV was the same Gogo from FFVI. FFV was about dimensions and characters like Omega, Shinryu, and even Gilgamesh are dimensional travelers, so Gogo being one works well. Rinoa being Ultimecia does enhance Ultimecia’s character, as well as giving FF8 some tragic elements to the love story. I think it’s a better theory than theory about being Squall being dead, even though Kitase said they’re not the same character. Then again he later retract his statement saying that maybe Nojima and Nomura had the idea of Ultimecia being the future Rinoa due to them being writers for FF8… so it’s not a complete shame. As for VII & X being in the same continuity. It doesn’t affect my experience with those games, so I’m fine with them being in the same universe. Heck I argue FF2 & 4 are in the same universe due to Kain saying he’s the son of Ricard in the FF4 remake, as well as Kain being the name of Ricard’s son in the FF Origins remaster of FF2.

[@femtrooper]

Love it! Fan theories are super fun. I’m all for it!

[@ErekLadd]

Yeah same!!! Lots of fun stuff to think about!

[@ETHomerin]

Oh I have a theory. But it is a sad one, and I doubt it will be embraced. Kitase has confirmed the VII-X connection. Nojima said the idea is that one day around a thousand years, after the events of X/X-2, Shinra's ancestors travel the cosmos to reach Gaia. But it is unknown how long before the events of VII Shinra arrived. I like to think it was long before Jenova's arrival, or even before the Planet created the Protomateria. I never actually want this mystery solved because it allows for individual interpretation. The same goes for never knowing the true fifth act of Loveless and the events after Dirge of Cerberus. After X-2, the developers wanted the audio drama FFX -Will- to reverse the happy ending. It doesn't sound like they were too happy with X-2 reversing X's heart breaking powerful ending. It's interpretable that Yuna bringing back Titus, after he died a second time, also brought back Sin. Perhaps she was falling into the same traps of Yu Yevon, Yunalesca, and X's Omega Weapon with summoning. What ever followed, I do not know. But there are dark implications. My Loveless theory is Genesis has carried out his final role: a simple act of good will in helping Weiss live a normal life. What better family than a pair who had lost a son about his age: the Fairs. Ten years or so later, Weiss is content and Genesis fades away. At this time Cloud and Denzel (neither of whom ever saw or heard about Genesis after Dirge) sense that they must go on a final journey. On this journey they learn the secrets of how the Cetra were created: by means of handing down love and legacy. The Angeal-Zack-Cloud legacy passes onto Denzel who hears the voice of the Planet and tells Cloud that they must go to Mt. Nibel. When Cloud asks him what is there his reply is, "The Promised Land." On the slopes of Mt. Nibel we learn that the legend of souls traveling beyond is true. In a sacrifice at world's end, Denzel follows the path of the Cetra departed. In doing so that last of Jenova is purged. But as a balance is restored, a father and son are parted forever.

[@ErekLadd]

Very very interesting stuff!

[@ETHomerin]

Thanks, brother! Always fun to drop an unknown theory on an unknown journey!

[@sixsixjd]

Can you believe how believable all this is. It begs disbelief of believing haha Great video I love that theory between FFX and FFVII connection however I always just putting it down to them trying to relate to the PS1 games whilst going in a different direction. Didn't know about the knights of the round theory 😮 I'd love to see them in the final game Some great fan theories here

[@ErekLadd]

I'm in disbelief just reading your comment!!!!! Haha. The Knights of the round theory has always been true in my mind. Can you imagine if it were real?! So cool.

[@sixsixjd]

@@ErekLadd well as far as I'm concerned it's definitely real now haha. I hope they go into it in so much more depth with a backstory like that behind it. Heck that would be a great video in itself 😉😜

[@VardyMoss]

Ff8 squall is dead I would throw that away. Base on what I learn, it was not the complete game they wanted.

[@geoffreychauvin1474]

Kitase I believe said he liked the theory but it was never something they considered. He said that the wound is higher up near squall's shoulder. He did say that if they ever were to revisit or remake the game he might consider leaning harder into that thought

[@Winspur1982]

I wish people could just admit Gogo is genderqueer and doesn't feel uncomfortable equipping female-only stuff. The game basically tells you as much upon encountering them! I just can't get into the Darryl theory. Setzer didn't lose his memory of her. But I do find the Gilgamesh idea interesting. I have a fan theory about Shadow too, based on his dreams. Some of them are quite clear that there was another man in his life very important to him. He is in a way my favorite FF6 character, a great tragic antihero.

[@geoffreychauvin1474]

I wish you could not try to warp everything to modernity. Gogo is just Gogo. Their gender and sexuality is irrelevant
