Okay heres the story of how I found this one… playing Yu Gi Oh: Forbidden Memories at my friends earlier, and well each card has a type (warrior, magician, etc.). In the game every type has a symbol to represent it and I was playing some kinda spellcaster and I noticed its symbol was Black Mage! He was the wrong colours and all but it was him alright. I’m looking for a picture now, but if anyone has the game check it out and back me up.
EDIT: Alright got an image, just look next to the Genin.
There’s also a hard to notice Black Mage in Final Fantasy 8. Check the Card Game Tutorial first page. If you look really closely at the first picture, you’ll see a Black Mage in there. His name is Orlan, the inventor of Triple Triad.
Ever watch the show when the virtual game storyline is on? Basically a FF spoof… they’re at a town, complaining about unhelpful NPCs, then finally find the one old dude who can help them get across the desert. He’s all “Find the Newatori [sp?] card!” and they beat the colosseum and get it. They summon the monster, then ride their new 6-foot chicken-things across the desert. Then fulfill the prophesy and SAVE THE KINGDOM! =P
Cid, you didn’t know there was a Yu-Gi-Oh show? It’s actually not too bad, except they cut so many vital rules from the game. Not like I play the game or anything… nervous laughter
The show isn’t too bad, I agree. I just wish the stupid U.S. goverment would censor it too much. I can tell that they tuned it down a lot and sometimes the characters just keep repeating the same thing for five minutes of the show. Japanese cartoons are normally more vulgar anyway. I’m not afraid to say that I actually like the card game as well as the dice one. I only play the video games though so I don’t have to keep track of all the rules myself. That, and I don’t have many people to play with.
Although I don’t remember them riding any chocobo type birds anywhere.
I’ve seen a few episodes of the show, and I have to say I kinda like it. Especially since in the battles in that show, I get to see some interesting adapting and interpretations to use to people’s advantages.
