This game is looking better and better every day. Well, actually I can't have Cloud's outfit because I'm poor and can't pre-order the game or pay for extra outfits, but it certainly looks cool.  And of course I'm excited to see cactuars... I love those things.  You can battle cactuars no matter how poor you are (assuming you can afford the game, at least... in a year after its release when it's not $60 anymore.)

They should make an outfit where you get to be a cactuar.  Not be dressed as one... but where you actually look 100% completely like one, run just like a cactuar and everything, all fast, on speed like and all.  I might pay a few dollars for that.

26. Cactuar

Cactuar is an enemy that shows up in many Final Fantasy games. (most, actually.) Defeating a cactuar isn't always easy if your party isn't prepared, but when you do defeat one, the reward is usually pretty nice for that point in the game. 

But I don't just like cactuars because they give a good reward in battle... I like them mostly because they are hilarious looking.  Many of these games are overall very serious.  People are dying, romances are forming, there are battles to fight, monsters to avoid or defeat, corrupted people to stop, worlds to save... And then these crazy ass things come along, running around with their ninety-degree angle arms...  They seem so ridiculous, absurd, and out of place.  I love it! Just look at them... Don't they make you laugh?

Then there are those giant ones that just loom over you and fire needles at you like a machine gun, running around all robotically in circles all around you...  They are terrifying and hilarious all at the same time.

Cactuar... O_O

These things usually give a lot of experience points, or AP or a good item, or something else cool.  They are also hilarious and horrifying to look at.  I don't know if there's really much else to say about this...  They are in almost every final fantasy game, and every time I see one, I get excited and feel like my characters just dropped a whole bunch of acid.

I was editing this, trying to make the colouring as horrifying as possible, and then it occurred to me, no matter how this image is coloured, it's always going to be horrifying.
