Final Fantasy IV is our page for that game.

Kiai is the trope for yelling syllables while attacking. Miiiiiight fall under "Blind Idiot" Translation or Good Bad Translation

When something over-the-top or ridiculous makes you love the work rather than loathe it, that's Narm Charm

Well no wonder I couldn't find it. In here it's given a different number. O.o

Cool I didn't know about the Kiai one thanks. And most likely is the blind idiot one. As for the last one -shrug-s I still have the original from 1991 so don't know if it's in that newer version (I'm assuming thats a newer version or different as the cover is different.) Thank you that was fun :D I love coming here to study troupes, or to read about Nightmare Fuel: Anime - makes it easy to search You Tube for kick @ss episodes.

^ Side explanatory note on FF numbers: Some Final Fantasy games didn't get brought over to the US in the right order. Namely, the games actually titled Final Fantasy II, III, and V didn't get brought over until some time later, so when FFIV was translated, it was only the second game to reach the States. In order to avoid confusing Americans by releasing FFIV when FFI was the last one released, it was retitled FFII in English. Then FFVI was the next to come over, and it got retitled FFIII. Then they realized that they were just making it more pointlessly confusing instead of less, and they stopped doing that bullshit. Now when a sequel is brought over they just call it whatever it is, even if its prequel never got brought over. I think some of the Suikoden games have done that, i.e., been translated out of order or missing installments, but keep their original titles anyway.

So what you may think of as FFII and FFIII are actually FFIV and FFVI.

It's best to refer to them by their original titles, generally speaking, but if there's any confusion, just say "FFIV, the one with Cecil and the Black Knights," or "FFVI, the one with Terra and the Espers."
