A persistent world is a game environment that is permanent and dynamic. This is seen in many MMO's.
Romance in video games can either be interactive, in which the player attempts to woo another character, or an unchangeable part of the story of a given game.
A sacrifice is the act of offering something (item, health, creature, blood, etc.) to a higher power or a greater good. In games, this often guarantees some sort of favor in return.
Special locations in game that allow the player to manually save their progress.
Many games feature a story which involves saving the world and its inhabitants, often single handedly.
Shinra is a ruthless mega-corporation who harvest Mako, the life force of the planet Gaia, and transforms it into electricity to power the city of Midgar and its surrounding area. Famous for the Jenova Project which resulted in the creation of Sephiroth.
SOLDIER is an elite military group of Mako-washed soldiers who work for the Shinra Electric Power Company in Final Fantasy VII.
Featured mainly in fighting games, special attacks usually require more than just pressing a button to activate. They are usually unique or at least varied between characters.
A condition which affects a character's effectiveness, either positively or negatively. Common examples include Poison or Haste.
Summoning involves bringing a distant ally into battle to either perform a single, devastating attack or to fight on the behalf of the summoner.
A supersoldier is a soldier artificially given abilities far beyond those of normal humans. These include increased strength, speed, stamina, intelligence, the ability to fly, the ability to create fire with their mind, etc.
Terrorists can be found terrorizing people all over the world of video games. While there is no consensus on how to define the term "terrorism", terrorists are generally considered to be people who express their ideals through violence.
The Turks are an elite organization that perform covert operations for the Shinra Electric Power Company that first appear in Final Fantasy VII.
A deceptively powerful enemy featured in many Final Fantasy games almost always wearing a brown cloak and equipped with a lantern and small knife. Infamous for being able to instantly KO one or all party members after slowly approaching them.
Extremely rare within the worlds they populate, WEAPONs are extremely powerful creatures found within the various realms of the Final Fantasy series. Usually an optional superboss, WEAPONs have also been part of the main story, such is the case with Final Fantasy VII.
A viewable map that displays the entire game world. The map also usually shows the player's location in the world.
