Final Fantasy Chess Set

[Wyrmis Simryw]

Okay, I saw the "big chess game" on MSN and had a wacky idea. What if
Square released special chess sets with their final fantasy characters?
There would be certain rules to design by:
1)One group must be totally good and another totally bad
2)There are to be Pawns, Rooks, Bishops, Knights, King and Queen
3)All of one type of piece should be one character
4)The pieces should somehow fit character traits
--Pawns: smallest of the pieces, straight attacks
--Knights: noble characters, decent attackers
--Bishops: resourceful characters, spell casters/long range attacks
--Rooks: strong characters, rush attacks
--Queen: most important female
--King: most important male

With these Guidelines in mind, here are my set for FF7:

Good Guys--
set one alternate set
Pawns: Cait Sith Cait Sith
Knights: Tifa Red XII
Bishops: Vincent Yuffie
Rooks: Barret Barret
Queen: Aeris Tifa
King: Cloud Cloud

Bad Guys--
Pawns: little blue shinra dudes
Knight: Rufus
Bishop: Hojo
Rook: Proud Clod
Queen: Jenova-Synthesis
King: Sephiroth

If I could remember FF6 well enough...I would go ahead and make that
list too...

See what you can come up with...try it with as many different games
besides a Final Fantasy (Xenogears and Tales of Destiny and Lunar and
Star Ocean make good candidates) as you can think of

I thought this might be nice!

Hmmm.. well since we haven't done FF4 yet, I'll take a stab at it. ;)
Also, I know about rule #3.. but I think it'd be kewler to have two
different characters for the same 'piece' (although that'd get
confusing), so I compromised and stuck the alternate pieces in the
'other ideas' section. ^_^
