Speech

Hello. Welcome to Final Fantasy Classic. This web site is all about the original Final Fantasy game for the NES, and its endless stream of spinoffs and remakes.

I'm Dr. Unne. I'll be your sarcastic guide. Never compare me to Clippy, or I'll eat your face.

If you're unsure what you're doing here, pick a game in the menu on the left. Please note, the NES section is more complete than the others, and much of the information in the NES section is applicable to all the remakes also.

I updated the NES Armor page with some more information.

RSS + bugfixes

Making the new layout broke pretty much every link on the site, due to changing from PHP to Ruby on Rails. I'm trying to get some redirects set up to point you in the right direction of you use an old PHP link, but there probably will be a lot of broken ones remaining. Such is life.

I just fixed a bug in the RSS feed. It should have working links now rather than displaying ERB template code. Oops.

I don't think I ever used the pink pirate gif before. Enjoy.

Weapons, comments

I updated the NES weapons page to include more information, take a look.

I also changed the comments scripts to indicate when I make a comment, as opposed to someone else named Brian, so that people can't pretend to be me. Not that I think anyone would be that sneaky or anything.

GBA Sprites

I've done a lot more work on the GBA sprites. I've almost got them all uploaded again. After that I'm going to start filling in some gaps in the various armor/weapons/items/magic etc. charts for GBA.

Armor, weapons, GBA PC sprites

I got the GBA PC sprites page back up and running today. I also tweaked the Armor and Weapons a bit to be more graphical.

I am thinking about how to do the tournament again. I don't want to start it and then have it fizzle out again, so I want to put more thought into it this time. Don't worry.

I put up a new RSS feed for this news page. Link is in the sidebar. (Or here.)

I'm working on all kinds of things today. I'm still trying to fix up some errors that may prevent some pages from rendering properly. But things look to be working better than in the past at least.

In other non-news, I'm moving to the west coast soon. Right now I'm on a mini-vacation trying to prepare to move. That means for the first time in a long while, I have time to work on this site quite a bit. So expect lots of updates in the coming days and weeks.

Almost there.

I'm still getting the server all set up. You should notice a SUBSTANTIAL speed increase once this is up and running. Hopefully this is all taken care of soon so I can start working on content again.

For a while, the front page was all that worked. That problem should be corrected soon as well.

Changes

You may have noticed a few changes. I have been working for the past couple months on a redo of the site, to better incorporate the remakes as well as expand the NES info. After yet another change of hosts for my site I decided to go ahead and deploy this new version.

You'll notice many broken links, as usual. But many other things work. For example you can leave comments on any page. Be sure also to check out the NES parties page, I think you'll find it better than before.

Also newly completed is Chapter 2 of the Dawn of Souls walkthrough, taking you through Pravoka.

Leave me a comment if you have any idea or feedback. I'll be working on the site more in the days and weeks and months to come. In the meantime, enjoy.

Testing 1 2 3

I am now testing the news posting script I wrote.

Part of the testing of this script requires that I type a large amount of text, so as to test the stretching of the layout tables downward.

To that end, I am continuing to type things beyond what is strictly necessary to indicate that this is a test post.

Eventually I will have reached a suitable amount of text, at which time I can cease typing. In fact that time is fast approaching. Almost here. OK done.

EDIT: OK, now I'm testing whether my script gives me suitable ability to edit news postings. If this text appears, it indicates success. If it does not appear, I have failed at my task. Actually I'm typing more here to stretch the tables further, because the text I typed the first time was not sufficiently long as to properly stretch my news-containing table cells downward. Here's hoping this further addition will suffice.
