There are about a million threads about what you would be if you were in a Final Fantasy game, and I think everyone's pretty tired of them. However, if we turn the idea the other way, we get a completely different topic:

What would the Final Fantasy characters be if they existed in our world?

So what do you think?

The world would be in constant danger. All of the villans trying to conquer it, and then the "good" characters would stop them. Just like always ;) It'd be a lot more interesting, and we wouldn't have to worry about sickness... ANTIDOTE! :) Yay, materia all around!

Kuja joins a Visual Kei band in Japan, and enjoys a marvellous career, but his superiority complex and general narcissism prevents him from forming lasting friendships.
Finally, he turns against his family, declares he has nothing to do with them at all, starts drugs and becomes depressive. After a suicide attempt, his caring brother gets him into hospital, and finally, after rehab, Kuja is slowly getting better... :(

I think Red XIII would be in a zoo

and Cait Sith would be a mascot for some random football team consisting of various other FF characters.

I was thinking with my friend once,what if the FF characters came to your school?Tidus and Wakka could be one of those dopey guys who play soccer all their life,Kimhari,Cait Sith and Red XIII could be class pets,Selphie,Rikku,Yuffie would be part of the cheerleading squad.Cloud could be that problematic kid who always gets into fights and goes to the principles office,Zidane could be a first grader and would tattle on Kuja,because he' s always pulling his tail.



.........and Seymour could be the gym teacher XD

LMFAO I think Durendal has summed it all up.

I think Sephiroth at least would be a demented man locked up in a mental hospital constantly muttering ' i am the calamity of the skies '

Mog - Circus ringleader

Palom and Porom - Illusionists in Mog's circus


lovin it

Well, first of all, Durendal did a great job! :D

Sephiroth (and probably all the other villains too) would be in a mental hospital

Aeris, Garnet, Yuna would be his nurses

Red XIII, Kimahri, Mog, Zidane (and all the other non-humans) would definitely be in a circus. There are so many already, they'd probably have their own circus already

Tifa would work in a bar

Cid it sounds boring, but he'd probably be a pilot (maybe for a famous company, never know)

Vincent Sells coffins

Scarlett, Setzer Owners of a night club

The turks something like the Mafia

Cloud, Squall go to a psychiatrist to find a way to themselfes

Tidus, Wakka would be in a football team (or other ball sports)

Qusitis A teacher


Enough for now ;)

Mmmph!

Anna stole the only idea I had. ; ;

And Durendal, your list was hilarious.

They would all be a lot less cool in this world, because all the imaginary weapons and materia and such would not transfer over with them. They'd just be goofy-looking peeps with bad hair and high-pitched voices wandering around on welfare, because all but Cid and a couple others are completely lacking in private sector job skills.

I would like to comission one of the fan fic writers, or any aspiring fan fic writer to create a story based on the ideas within this thread. So if any of you feel like flexing your literary muscle, do so now and let us all stand in awe.

Unfortunately I'm a fool with little free time, so I cannot attempt this creation myself. Also I'm a poor bastard so whoever should take up this challenge should not expect their comission to be much more than the spiritual and emotional development that comes from creating a work of art, which should be more than enough for most.

So git to it yee folks, yee-ha!

dude, Rikku(FFX-2) and Rinoa could be either be cheerleaders or swimsuit models, yowza!
Aerith could be a kindegarten teacher... Barret could be a violent rapper(doubt it) Yuffie and Amarant(Salamander) could be real life (duh) ninjas!!!! Sephiroth could be a samurai with his long ass sword. Garnet could be a jeweler, Yuna could be a pop star... or a priest, Ramza could be a knight or a soldier. Delita would definitely be a rich bonafide asshole! Cid(FFVII) could be a airplane pilot, Cid(FFVIII) could be a highschool principal, Cid(FFIV) could be an engineer, Cid(FFIX) could be a king... Cid(FFX) could be an occult leader, Cid(FFV) could be a boat engineer... enough about Cid!!! Squall could be a highschool student, Tifa could be a hot sex-ed teacher... Tidus would be the slacker high school student. Wakka, definitely synchronized swimming pro...
