Thanks Berz! I haven't played many paper and pen RPGs so it's a good reason why I don't know much about that.
Since this thread hasn't been active in a while, I thought of something that could revive it:
Has anyone seen any magical items that are exactly the same in certain games but have different names? If so, what are they and how much did the name of the item change? Also, is the item exactly the same or slightly different in any way?
For example: many items have changed from FFTA to FFTA2. One of such is the sword know as
"Excalibur 2".
In FFTA, Excalibur2 was a very powerful sword and it had other stats that made it a good choice. Was it magical? Maybe not so much but it has a certain glitter to it that made you think it was magical.
In FFTA2 however, there is a sword that has the exact same icon as the one I previously mentioned but its name is
"The Fallen Angel". I still haven't looked up if the stats are the same but their icon sure is (which leads me to believe it's the same weapon). Both look as if they were magical but they're not.
There's also an item on both games called
"Magic Ring" but, for some oddball reason, they don't do the same thing in each of those games. On one of them (FFTA), all it does is grant you a small boost to magic attack and defense. In FFTA" however, it also protects you from the status effect (aka debuff) known as "Berserk". Weird change, wouldn't you say? At least I thought so...
Isn't that curious? If you have any examples of similar cases, go ahead and post! If they're magical items, all the better!
