Lots of other great sites listed in the Credits section!

As I've stated before, this section will be user-dependant. I will not search out sites myself. If you think a site is ORIGINAL, has interesting content or layout, and offers something no other site does, please E-mail me. Keep in mind that the final say as to whether or not a site is added is mine.

• Squaresoft - official site. Do Not Enter if you have a dial-up modem, because you'll be waiting AGES.

• FFCCG - a fan-produced card game based on Final Fantasy. Looks like fun!
• Epical Studios - Previously known as Nkode, then Legaecy Productions. An interesting fan project: they make music videos out of existing songs and FMVs from games (as well as from anime). Worth a look if you have a fast modem.
• FF: The Summoning: This is simply a messageboard which has a free-ranging FF roleplaying forum. Nice if you're into that kind of thing.
• 8-Bit Theater - a sprite-based comic based on FF1; quite possibly the funniest video game comic on the Internet. 8-)
• ADVENTURERS! - a hilarious comic based on console RPGs like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. A definite must-read for any fan!
• RPG World - another comic that no RPG is safe from, done in a more detailed manga-style. If you like Adventurers! you'll love this.
• Overclocked Remix - a site that hosts remixed and rearranged video game music, with a variety of selections.
• VG Mix - another video game remixing site, like Overclocked Remix, but this site focuses more on arrangements involving multiple games.

• RPGClassics - the excellent site which hosts the FF Compendium, quite probably the largest collection of information and shrines for RPGs there is. Sit back and enjoy!
• Daryl's Library - a great place for Squaresoft music info! Most of the information from the Music Database came from here.
• The Opera House - THE place for lyrics to Squaresoft tunes. All lyrics from this site are direct links to here.
• Final Fantasy Online - a very large site, with specific pages for FF4 straight through 8 plus Tactics and MQ. Good for media, bad if you have a slow modem.
• GameFAQs - the largest site dedicated to just game help. If you need any help with any game, this should be the first place to look!
• RPGamer - a large, fairly fast-loading site on more or less every popular (and some non-popular) console and PC RPG ever made.
• Chrono Compendium - if you're looking for info on the Chrono games or the community surrounding them, this is the place to go!

• RPG-O-Mania - an eclectic mix of information, media, news and just general fun stuff.
• FFWorld.com - a very nice French Final Fantasy site; lots of goodies in there. Francophone FF fans will certainly enjoy it.
• RPGFF.net - a nice site with fanfiction, quotes, and media of not only FF but other popular RPGs. Includes videos of FF10 story moments!
• FFShrine.org: A fairly large site with a lot of media and info.
• The Dream Oath - while I'm here. 8-) A very nice site dedicated to FF6, available in both English and French versions. There's some stuff here you won't find anywhere else.

• Anime Nation - you can order the FF anime here, as well as plenty of soundtracks and the FF Dawn artbook.

First, my opinion on emulation (which is by no means the absolute law on emulation): I believe that if a game a) is out of production, or b) was never produced in North America, that you should have the right to download it. That basically limits you to FF3 (NES) and FF Mystic Quest (and you might want to try to find the incredibly obscure Chocobo games as well if you like). Having said that (and again, do not take my word as law - it isn't) here are some links to get you started:

• Zophar's Domain - THE place for cool emulation stuff - get your emulators here.
• RomHacking.net - The best place for translation news, links, hacks and patches.
• ZSNES - the best SNES emulator, in my opinion.
• Demiforce Parodius - the translators of FF2 and 3 for NES.

Again, this site thrives on feedback, so please E-mail me!
