    What did you learn from playing Final Fantasy??

    There are actually numerous little things I have learned from playing so much FF,still not that big but something..

    Roman Numerals- For sure. before FF X I didn't know how to read them, but after having to find all of the Al Bhed primers I figured it out as I played.

    Bazzar- I felt all smart one day because for some weird reason no one in my clas knew what a Bazzar was and it happened to be a main part of the story we were reading..I forget the name of the story.. bu that came from FF XII. I didn't know what that was either until I played and realized it's a strip of markets.

    Bigss and Wedge-Since I dont really watch star wars I never knew that they were actually characters and existsed outside of final fantasy.I just assumed they were an inside joke between the makers seeing as how the are in like almost every one.

    Quetzacotal..( not really something I learned but..)-there was this guy in my art class that created this crazy peice that had him in it and I had to save him from getting chewed out about it because he couldn't remember the name. I only knew beacuse I remembered it was only FFVIII that had him. And he said "something with a 'Q'..."

    speaking of summons, where do the aeons like Bahamut ect. actually come from??? I know they are not just made up...

    I know theres more but i'll just update later...

    P.s. where do the aeons like Bahamut ect. actually come from??? I know they are not just made up...

    I would suggest you to go on Wikipedia and search a little bit because many eidolons come from various religions and mythology. You'll be shocked but Bahamut is a vast fish that supports the earth in Arabian mythology and Odin is considered the chief god in Norse paganism and the ruler of Asgard


    As for you question, only thing that comes to my mind is that I improved little my English by playing FF. As for Roman Numerals didn't you learn those in school, I know I did.

    I played ff from when I was very little.

    So I absorbed a lot of stuff in my soft little boy brain.

    Roman numerals was one thing I learn.

    Final fantasy helped with my reading and vocab a whole lot when I was littler
    Haha I kinda struggled

    Woah! I knew they came frome some Mythologies but I wasn't sure which ones,every time I searched I got something different, That expains it thanks.

    and for the Roman Numerals, strangely no I didn't...either that or I just wasn't paying attention ha!!

    Yeah, pretty much all the Summons/Eidolons/Whatever you want to call them are based off of Gods or some sort of Mythology. I guess this would be the first thing that would come to mind of what I've learned by playing Final Fantasy. It rarely comes up, but if someone asked me who Shiva was I'd have an answer for them that I wouldn't normally if I didn't play.
