Just Some Info about how some summons and other creatures were thought of.

The Earth is dying from within and the only hope the people have is to pray for the fulfillment of a prophecy...Four warriors, each with an orb, will arrive to renew the world. These four warriors are the Light Warriors. The Game begins with little mini-quests for your warriors to complete: rescuer the princess, wake up the sleeping Elf King, placate the blink witch...and the list goes on. Soon a much greater evil appears in your path. The Four Fiends, each of which has an elemental ability (fire, earth, wind, and water). You later find out that the Fiends are being controlled by Chaos, who is an infernal beast who has twisted time itself to achieve his nefarious ends.

The Four Fiends first appeared on the Earth 2000 years ago. Over those 2000 year their powers have deteriorated to almost nothing. In an effort to regain their previous power, they send the Knight Garland 2000 years into the past. Once in the past, Garland melds with the Four Fiends and becomes Chaos. With the new power that Chaos has gained, he plans to use it to send the Four Fiends back into the present with incredible powers. To stop this the Light Warriors travel 2000 years into the past to destroy Chaos before he can succeed. Their victory erases all traces of their journey and only their legend remains, passed down by the Dwarves, the Elves, and the Dragons. 

The evil Empire of Baramekia has killed the parents of four young youths. These children form a resistance together and help the rebel effort in any way they can. They slowly gain more and more power and this brings them closer to being able to threaten the Evil forces. Former friends turn to traitors, only to later return to the side of good. In the end, it is not the Empire which threatens the world, but the insidious evil which lies behind it all: the Dark Cloud.

One day four teenagers from the village of Uru decide to go exploring outside of the village. (sounds like your classic fairy tail so far). While exploring, they fall into a hole and discover the shrine of the Wind Crystal. The Wind Crystal tells them that they've been chosen to become the Four Light Warriors and must restore the balance of Light and Dark. After going on many quests and fighting evil forces, the group acquires an airship, which they use to reach the Floating Continent...but they soon discover that the entire world is submersed in water. With the help of Elia and the Water Crystal, they manage to stop the flooding. They then travel up the Crystal Tower to meet a magician by the name of Zande.

Zande is obsessed with gaining power. The Four Light Warriors believe that Zande is the source behind the worlds trouble and decide that they should beat him up. After defeating him, they are confronted, and crushed, by a great Cloud of Darkness. The heroes then travel to the Dark World. When they arrive, they meet their four counterparts, the Dark Warriors. When all eight of them are confronted by the Cloud of Darkness, the Dark Warriors use their power to weaken the cloud just enough for the Light Warriors to use their power to defeat it. Thus, the world is returned to peace.

The Kingdom of Baron is one of the strongest kingdom's in the world. They command group of airships known as the Red Wings. They were once very highly respected by the rest of the world. The Kingdom of Baron as turned evil and has assigned the task of forcefully taking the four earth crystals upon Cecil, the captain of the Red Wings. He won't have any part in this so he quits the service and sets out to stop the evil that's growing in Baron.

The world thrives on the power of four elemental crystals: Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire. These crystals supply the earth with things like heat, wind, the ability to grow plants, everything. These crystals all reside in their own shrines. All of a sudden, the elements of the earth start acting different. The King of Tycoon notices an irregularity in the wind and decides to visit the Wind Shrine. Upon reaching the shrine, he witnesses the Wind Crystal shattering into many pieces!

Around this same time, a huge meteor has fallen to the earth and has caused massive earthquakes in the surrounding area of Tycoon Castle. In all this mess, the King of Tycoon mysteriously vanishes...

Long ago, the war of the magi reduced the world to a scorched wasteland, and magic simply ceased to exist.


1000 years have passed...
Iron, gunpowder, and steam engines have been rediscovered, and high technology reigns...


But there are some who would enslave the world by reviving the dread destructive force known as "magic." Can it be that those in power are on the verge of repeating a senseless and deadly mistake?

Throughout history, wars repeat themselves in various times and places. Form these wars, legends of heroes are handed down from generation to generation. Weathered by rumors and the passing of time, the truth may be forgotten, the reality buried under the legends.

Many years ago, a war seethed and erupted within the land of Ivalice. It lasted for 50 years, finally ending when both sides laid down their arms. However, the war had exhausted the people's strength and the country resources, and the situation within Ivalice gradually became worse.

The lords of the six ruling families united to guide Ivalice back to prosperity. However, their delicate balance of power soon collapsed. One year after the 50 year war had ended, Ivalice's Princess Ovelia was abducted. Prompted by this, conflict grew between two families: Gallione (ruled by Prince Larg, whose crest was one of a White Lion) and Zeltennia (ruled by Prince Goltana, whose crest was a Black Lion).

The war between the two families would be later known as "The Lion War". Added to the backdrop of the Lion War was the problem of succession to Ivalice's throne due to the sudden death of the King. Prince Larg is the elder brother of Queen Ovelia Prince while Goltana is the younger cousin of the dead King. According to historical record, a young hero named Delita suppressed the Lion War soon after it engulfed Ivalice. There was also another young man named Ramza who played a role during the Lion War, though you will not see Ramza's name in any history books. Now the true story can be told...

You play the hero, Ramza, born in the noble family of Beoulve who have served the Larg's for generations. His two brothers commanded Ivalice's most powerful military corps, leaving Ramza with feelings of inferiority. After graduating from the Gariland office academy, he joined Princess Ovelia's protection team and while there, witnessed the Princess abduction.

Final Fantasy Tactics is a well liked by game by many FF players who commented on the good storyline and gameplay. The gameplay sets in a Ogre battle/Vandal hearts kind of system and style, although packed with much more features like classes, jobs, learning abilities as well as the different ways in using them.

Backed together with a great storyline and awesome stunning, unique style of combat and system, the game offers high replay value and is highly recommended to all FF fans.

A large company called Shinra Inc., has found a new source of power. This new source of power is called Mako, and is being drained out of the planet. This Mako is the life energy of the planet, and by draining it Shinra is killing the planet.

A resistance organization known as AVALANCHE have recently appeared and they have vowed to put an end to Shinra's destructive practices. The main character of the game Cloud, is an ex-soldier of Shinra, and he teams up with AVALANCHE in their find against Shinra. They encounter many mysterious and powerful people in their journey, but this road eventually leads to stopping Shinra Inc.

Filled with mystery, excitement, and love, this is a great story and it really pulls you in right from the start. It's one of those games that you just don't want to stop playing.

The building you see in the above picture is the very well known Balamb Garden. It's a school to educate, as well as train soldiers. Squall is one of the students there. The Garden is a private school for kids between the age's of six and nineteen. It a student passes their graduation exam, they will be able to try out for the legendary SeeD. Only the best trainees have a chance to try out for SeeD. Squall is one of the students trying out to become a member of this group.

Magic is only used by Garden graduates that have studied how to use it. Even then, only the best from the Garden will be able to use it effectively. Regular people aren't able to use this special power.

From the outside this world seems very peaceful and prosperous, but as you look more closely you can notice many small problems. One of which is a situation where a war could break out at any time. Normally this is where the Garden would come into play. The Garden soldiers don't work for any particular country, but are located around the world to help quiet the disputes. This approach worked to keep the world in order for quite a while. All the evil powers of the war were being destroyed and the military powers were balanced. Then one day a sorceress known as Edea appeared.

As a celebration for everyone that makes it into SeeD, a dinner party is thrown for all the new members. It is at this dinner party that Squall meets Rinoa. Later in the evening when Squall and Rinoa encounter each other, he discovers that she is the leader of the Forest Owls, which is a rebel organization fighting against the nation of Galbadia. Unfortunately the Forest Owls are losing their battles against Galbadia, even though they have been assisted by members from SeeD. That night when Squall goes to sleep, he has a very strange dream in which he is a man by the name of Laguna Loire, and he is a Galbadian soldier that would rather be a journalist. In the dream, Laguna is on a mission accompanied by Ward and Kiros.

To make things even more complicated, Galbadia has annexed neighboring Dollet, and has declared war on the rest of the world! You later find out that the actions taken by the Galbadian President, Vinzer Deling, weren't his own. He was assisted by Edea. Since it is suspected that Edea is behind these actions, Squall is sent out on a mission to assassinate her, with the help of Irvine Kinneas.

Gaia is a very beautiful peaceful planet. Many types of life forms populate the world. Trouble starts brewing up in the Mist Continent. This continent is composed of 4 separate nations, each being very powerful. Up to this point all these nations have existed peacefully.

Unexpectedly, Queen Brahne from the Kingdom of Alexandia becomes corrupted by greed and decides to gain control over the Mist Continent. She slowly gathers a huge army of black mages and sends them out. Each of the remaining 3 nations get destroyed by Queen Brahne's army. It is still unclear why she has chosen this path.

A group known as Tantalus decides to save the Queen's daughter, Princess Garnett because they know that she is in trouble. Garnett is confused as well by this sudden change in her mother. She sets out on a quest with a group determined to stop the Evil Queen.

Their journey becomes very hard though as they realize that the Queen is now looking at taking over the world...
