Welcome, everyone, to another edition of The Great Retro Quiz! I amextraexcited about this week because it is all aboutFinal Fantasy IV(or “II” as I will always remember it) for theSuper Nintendo Entertainment System.
Not to get overly sappy or anything, but this game changed my life when it was released and is still one of my favorites of all time. In fact, I have played thoughFinal Fantasy IVso many times that I pretty much know it inside and out. Do you? Show me up by taking this quiz and proving thatyouare the biggest fan of the game and I have no idea what I am talking about. The gauntlet has been thrown down!
Unfortunately, I don’t have anythingFinal Fantasy-themed in my bag of goodies to give away as a prize this week. The closest thing I have … hmmm … (sorting through contents) … well, the closest thing I have is this figure of my favoritePokémon(Snubbull!). How are they similar? Um … bothFinal Fantasy IVandPokémonare RPGs?! Yeah, that’s it!
Hopefully by now you know the routine: just post your answers in the comments and check mycommunity blogtomorrow for the correct answers and the dramatic results. Whoever gets the most right will win (in the case of a tie, I will have my pet chocobo randomly choose a winner by tempting her with some lush Gysahl greens)!
Just like the game, this quiz is epic. Grab a couple of elixirs, prepare yourself, and … good luck!
