Conversion Table 2: Divine Rank by HD/Levels

Conversion Table 1: Divine Rank by Comparisons

The following conversions are my favourite monsters from Squaresoft's Final Fantasy VII RPG, one of the best videogames of all time.

Converting creatures and characters from Final Fantasy, may seem simple (given that it has its own levelling system going from 1-99), but I am dubious as to whether a 99th-level character in FF VII is the equivalent of a 99th-level D&D character. More likely they would convert to about 4:1.

With the Weapons below, I must admit I have taken a few liberties. For example, Sapphire Weapon is never fought in the game as it gets killed by a spell cannon (or somesuch). So there are no details for it or its powers. I also invented a few powers here and there where needed, but I think they are more interesting opponents for it.

There are five Weapons in Final Fantasy VII (Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire and Ultima), there is another in Final Fantasy VIII called Omega Weapon. Ultima and Omega are fairly similar, so I'll just be assuming they are one and the same. There may be others in later incarnations of the series that I have not encountered (I have only played VII and VIII all the way through).

Use of 'The Weapons' here is not done in the course of trade and is not intended as a challenge to any trademarks.

THE WEAPONS

The legendary weapons are elemental avatars of Gaea (Mother Nature) herself, released to protect the planet from those who would invite harm upon it. Only one of each weapon type exists on a given planet at any one time. If destroyed, that weapon will rejuvenate after 100 years, although Ultima/Omega weapon will rejuvenate after 1 year.
