FF

Final Fantasy is a Japanese anthology series of role-playing video games created by Hironobu Sakaguchi and primarily developed and published by Square (now Square Enix).^[1] The franchise debuted with the original Final Fantasy in 1987 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, initially conceived as a last-ditch effort to prevent Square's bankruptcy, and has since expanded into an media empire encompassing over a dozen mainline entries, numerous spin-offs, feature films, anime adaptations, manga, novels, and merchandise.^[1]^[2] Each mainline title features self-contained stories of protagonists battling existential threats in worlds blending medieval fantasy with magical crystals, summons, and occasional sci-fi elements, pioneering mechanics like the Active Time Battle system that influenced the JRPG genre.^[2] The series achieved commercial dominance early, with entries like Final Fantasy VII (1997) selling over 15 million units through innovative 3D graphics, cinematic storytelling, and a shift to PlayStation hardware that broadened its appeal beyond niche audiences.^[3] Later titles, such as Final Fantasy XIV's relaunch as A Realm Reborn in 2013 following the original's critical failure, demonstrated resilience, transforming it into one of the most subscribed MMORPGs with sustained expansions and millions of active players.^[4] Key innovations include evolving combat from turn-based roots—seen in classics like Final Fantasy VI (1994), praised for its ensemble cast and steampunk narrative—to hybrid action systems in recent releases like Final Fantasy XVI (2023), which emphasize spectacle and political intrigue in a darker, Game of Thrones-inspired setting.^[2]^[5] Despite its successes, the franchise has encountered controversies, including backlash against perceived deviations from core RPG elements, such as the real-time focus in Final Fantasy XV (2016) and XVI, which some fans argue dilutes strategic depth for accessibility and visual flair.^[6] The 2010 launch of Final Fantasy XIV drew severe criticism for technical instability, poor design, and unmet expectations, leading to its shutdown and full remake under new director Naoki Yoshida, a pivot that salvaged the brand but highlighted risks in ambitious online ventures.^[6]^[4] More recently, remakes like Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020) have sparked debate over narrative alterations that expand lore while deviating from the original's linearity, reflecting Square Enix's efforts to modernize amid fan expectations for fidelity.^[6]

Language

Citations and publishing

In bibliographic citations and footnotes, "ff." is an abbreviation denoting "and the following pages" or sections, typically indicating an unspecified range beyond the cited page without providing an exact endpoint.^[7] This usage derives from the Latin foliis, the plural dative or ablative form of folium (leaf or folio), reflecting early printing and manuscript traditions where references extended to subsequent leaves.^[7] For example, a citation like "p. 45 ff." refers to page 45 and onward, often employed in scholarly works to avoid listing lengthy sequences.^[8] The singular form "f." (or sometimes "f.") specifies only the immediately following page, creating a distinction to ensure precision in references; thus, "p. 45 f." means pages 45–46, while "ff." implies two or more subsequent pages.^[8] This convention, rooted in Latin abbreviatory practices, was common in European legal and academic texts, such as German jurisprudence where "45f." denotes pages 45–46.^[9] However, modern style guides like the Chicago Manual of Style recommend against "f." and "ff." in favor of explicit ranges (e.g., "pp. 45–50") to eliminate ambiguity, though the abbreviations persist in some historical or specialized publishing contexts.^[7]^[10] In printing and manuscript cataloging, "ff." separately abbreviates "folios," referring to the numbered leaves of a codex rather than printed pages, a practice dating to medieval scribal traditions where each bifolium (two conjoined leaves) formed the basic unit of a quire.^[11] Folio numbering, abbreviated as "ff." for plural, distinguishes recto (front) and verso (back) sides and remains standard in descriptive bibliography for pre-modern books and documents.^[11] This dual role of "ff."—for sequential reference and physical leaves—highlights its evolution from Latin manuscript conventions to printed scholarly apparatus, though overuse can lead to interpretive challenges in precise pagination.^[12]

Music notation

In music notation, ff serves as the standard abbreviation for fortissimo, an Italian term directing performers to produce very loud volume with maximum intensity, exceeding the loudness indicated by a single f for forte.^[13]^[14] This dynamic marking contributes to expressive volume gradation, allowing contrasts between passages played at f (loud) and softer levels like mf (mezzo-forte, moderately loud) or p (piano, soft) in orchestral, chamber, and solo compositions.^[14]^[15] The notation system incorporating ff evolved from early Baroque practices in the 17th century, when composers such as Claudio Monteverdi began using basic dynamic indicators like f and p to specify intensity amid terraced dynamics typical of the era, though ff for heightened loudness gained prominence in the Classical period for precise emotional control.^[14]^[16] By the late 18th and early 19th centuries, ff enabled composers to demand explosive climaxes, distinguishing it from mere f through amplified orchestral force, often involving full ensemble reinforcement on brass and percussion.^[13]^[15] Ludwig van Beethoven frequently employed ff in his symphonies for dramatic emphasis, such as in the coda of the finale in Symphony No. 7 (Op. 92, premiered 1813), where sustained ff passages build relentless energy leading to the movement's peak.^[17]^[18] This usage underscores ff's role in heightening tension and resolution, influencing subsequent Romantic composers who expanded dynamic extremes for orchestral power.^[17]^[19]

Typography and etymology

The "ff" ligature, a single glyph combining two lowercase f letters, emerged in early typography to resolve kerning conflicts caused by the protruding ascenders of adjacent f's, ensuring tighter word spacing and aesthetic harmony in justified text. This convention proliferated with the advent of movable type printing in the mid-15th century; Johannes Gutenberg incorporated numerous ligatures, including "ff", in his 42-line Bible (c. 1455) to emulate the fluid appearance of handwritten manuscripts while accommodating metal type's rigid spacing requirements.^[20]^[21] By the Renaissance, such ligatures became standard in European foundries, persisting into the 19th century before declining with digital typesetting's flexibility.^[22] Etymologically, the digraph "ff" in English orthography denotes a geminate voiceless labiodental fricative /fː/, a practice rooted in Old English scribal traditions where doubled consonants marked phonetic length, as seen in words like "off" (from Old English "of") and "staff" (from Old English "stæf"). This convention traces to Proto-Germanic phonology, where *f represented /f/, and gemination arose from compensatory lengthening or morphological processes. In Welsh, influenced by Brythonic Celtic roots, "ff" consistently signifies /f/ (contrasting with single "f" as /v/), appearing word-initially in names like Ffion since medieval manuscripts, often stylized as capitalized "Ff" in proper nouns to preserve the digraph's integrity. Historical scripts, such as blackletter or Fraktur, occasionally rendered "Ff" or "fF" with elongated forms for emphasis or abbreviation, as in 16th-century Germanic texts where ligatures like ﬀ (Unicode U+FB00) abbreviated foliated references.^[23]^[24]

Science and technology

Computing

In computing, FF denotes the Form Feed control character in the ASCII standard, assigned decimal value 12 (hexadecimal 0x0C), which instructs printers to advance the print medium to the top of the next page or eject the current form.^[25]^[26] This character originated in early teletype and line printer systems to manage paper handling in batch printing environments.^[27] In legacy hardware such as dot-matrix printers using continuous-feed or pin-fed paper, FF triggers a page break by advancing the tractor-fed forms, preventing overlap in multi-part carbon-copy outputs like invoices or reports.^[28]^[29] Modern implementations may interpret FF as a simple newline or ignore it in non-print contexts, reflecting the decline of mechanical printers since the 1980s.^[30] Separately, FF in hexadecimal (0xFF) equals 255 in decimal, signifying a byte with all eight bits set to 1 (binary 11111111), essential for bitwise masking to isolate the least significant byte in integer operations or data truncation.^[31]^[32] This value is ubiquitous in low-level programming for tasks like serial communication protocols, where x & 0xFF extracts an unsigned 8-bit result from larger types, ensuring compatibility across signed/unsigned representations.^[33] Programming languages standardized FF's handling early; in C, the escape sequence \f embeds the Form Feed character in strings or literals, inherited from ANSI C for portable I/O control, though its effect varies by output device or terminal emulator.^[34]^[35]

Engineering and construction

In construction and real estate accounting, FF&E denotes furniture, fixtures, and equipment, classified as personal property depreciable separately from structural building components under Internal Revenue Service guidelines.^[36] These assets, including non-structural items like office desks and lighting fixtures, recover costs via the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) over recovery periods of 5 to 7 years for most categories.^[36] The Tax Reform Act of 1986 established this framework by replacing prior depreciation methods with MACRS, enabling faster write-offs for FF&E to reflect their shorter useful lives compared to real property depreciated over 39 years for nonresidential buildings.^[37] In project management for engineering and construction, particularly within Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, free float (FF) represents the maximum delay an activity can endure without postponing the early start of any immediate successor activity.^[38] This metric, distinct from total float which considers project end-date impacts, aids in identifying scheduling flexibility and resource optimization; for instance, FF equals the successor's early start minus the activity's early finish.^[38] Software such as Oracle Primavera P6, widely adopted in construction since the 1990s, computes and displays FF to support delay analysis and critical path determination.^[39] For concrete floor performance in construction, the FF metric empirically quantifies floor flatness by measuring wavelength-specific deviations in surface elevation, ensuring suitability for overlying finishes or equipment.^[40] Values range from FF 20 for basic warehouse slabs to FF 100 for precision applications like cleanrooms, with higher numbers indicating flatter surfaces.^[40] The American Concrete Institute (ACI) standard 117M-10 specifies tolerances incorporating FF, while measurement follows ASTM E1155 procedures using straightedge or digital profiling within 72 hours post-troweling.^[40]

Transportation

In railway engineering, FF designates flat-footed rails, a type featuring a broad flat base (foot) integral to the rail section, alongside the head and web, which enhances lateral stability by resisting tilting and outward movement under load. These rails, prevalent in networks such as Indian Railways, eliminate the need for separate chairs or sleepers for fixation, relying instead on direct fastening to sleepers, which reduces installation costs and maintenance demands while providing greater stiffness and strength compared to bull-headed rails.^[41]^[42] In aviation, FF refers to the Grumman FF (company designation G-5), a biplane fighter aircraft developed for the U.S. Navy and entering service in 1933 as the FF-1, nicknamed "Fifi" from its type designation. Powered by a 700-horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-1534 radial engine, it achieved a top speed of approximately 215 miles per hour, featured an enclosed cockpit for two crew members, and served as an early shipboard fighter with arrestor gear for carrier operations, contributing to naval air tactics before obsolescence by monoplanes in the late 1930s.^[43]^[44] The Ferrari FF, produced from 2011 to 2016, represents an FF designation in automotive engineering as a four-seat grand tourer with all-wheel drive, utilizing a 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine generating 651 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 504 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 rpm. Its drivetrain incorporates a proprietary 4RM system with a secondary front transmission and torque-vectoring differential, enabling up to 50% power distribution to the front axle for improved traction on varied surfaces without compromising rear-biased dynamics, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for shifts under 100 milliseconds. This configuration yields a 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 208 mph, prioritizing mechanical efficiency in power delivery over traditional rear-wheel-drive limitations.^[45]^[46]^[47]

Other technical uses

In physical chemistry, FF denotes a force field, a computational model comprising parameterized equations that approximate the potential energy between atoms in molecular systems, enabling simulations of dynamics and structures. These models incorporate additive terms for intramolecular interactions (e.g., harmonic bonds with equilibrium lengths around 1.0–1.5 Å and force constants of 200–500 kcal/mol/Å²) and intermolecular forces (e.g., 12-6 Lennard-Jones potentials with well depths of 0.1–0.5 kcal/mol). Classic force fields, such as those developed for energetic materials, rely on fixed partial charges and bonded parameters fitted to experimental thermochemical data, achieving root-mean-square deviations in lattice energies below 5 kcal/mol for organic crystals.^[48] Reactive force fields extend this framework by dynamically adjusting bond orders during simulations, allowing bond breaking and formation critical for processes like detonation propagation, where reaction barriers are tuned to match shock-induced experiments at pressures exceeding 10 GPa. Consistent force fields emphasize polarizability via inducible dipoles, improving accuracy for hydrogen-bonded networks with interaction energies within 1–2 kcal/mol of ab initio benchmarks.^[48] In neuroscience, FF refers to neuropeptide FF (NPFF), an amidated octapeptide (Phe-Leu-Phe-Gln-Pro-Gln-Arg-Phe-NH₂) expressed in the spinal cord and hypothalamus, acting via NPFF1 and NPFF2 G-protein-coupled receptors to modulate nociception and opioid tolerance. Concentrations of NPFF in rodent brain tissue range from 1–10 pmol/g, with exogenous administration at 10 nmol intracerebroventricularly enhancing analgesia in hot-plate tests (latency increases of 50–100%). Studies indicate NPFF inhibits morphine-induced reward in conditioned place preference assays, suggesting roles in counteracting opioid dependence through downstream signaling involving MAPK pathways.^[49]^[50]

Online culture and slang

On Twitter (now X), #FF originated as a shorthand for "Follow Friday," a weekly tradition encouraging users to recommend accounts worth following to build networks. The practice began in November 2009 when user Micah Baldwin proposed it as a way to highlight valuable connections amid the platform's growth.^[51] Shortly after its introduction, #FollowFriday tweets reached approximately two per second, reflecting rapid adoption in the platform's early ecosystem.^[52] Peak usage occurred in the 2010s, aligning with Twitter's expansion to millions of daily active users, where #FF facilitated organic discovery before algorithmic feeds prioritized engagement over chronological or hashtag-based visibility.^[53] By the mid-2010s, however, participation declined as users shifted toward automated tools and mass-listing tactics, which diluted the practice's intent and led to perceptions of it as spammy or ineffective for genuine networking.^[52] This evolution underscores a broader pattern in social media: initial grassroots mechanics fostering connectivity often yield to scalable but superficial behaviors, with empirical data from hashtag tracking showing #FF's volume dropping amid platform updates favoring personalized timelines over themed promotions.^[54] In earlier internet chat protocols like AOL Instant Messenger (launched 1997), "FF" served as an acronym for "friends forever," appearing in user profiles, away messages, and casual exchanges to denote close online bonds formed through persistent messaging. This usage emerged in the late 1990s amid AIM's popularity among teens, where shorthand preserved brevity in real-time text limited by dial-up speeds and character constraints, though it lacked the structured promotion of later hashtag variants.^[55] Unlike narratives emphasizing unalloyed benefits of digital ties, such acronyms often masked transient interactions, with retention data from era archives indicating many "forever" friendships dissolved upon platform migrations or offline transitions.

Digital media controls

In digital media playback and editing software, FF serves as the shorthand for the fast-forward function, which advances the timeline or playback head forward at accelerated speeds or via seeking jumps to enable rapid content navigation and skipping of segments. This capability allows users to bypass uninteresting portions, such as intros or filler, while maintaining control over temporal progression in audio, video, or timeline-based editing interfaces.^[56] The FF control traces its origins to consumer video cassette recorders (VCRs) in the 1970s, where it functioned by mechanically accelerating tape transport, producing distorted but audible sped-up playback to preview or skip recorded material; VHS systems, released in Japan on September 9, 1976, and in the U.S. on August 23, 1977, standardized this feature alongside play and stop mechanisms.^[57] In contemporary software like VLC Media Player, FF manifests as configurable shortcuts (e.g., right arrow or Alt+Right for incremental skips) or speed multipliers up to 4x or higher, supporting precise scrubbing in local files without hardware dependencies.^[58] Following the expansion of on-demand streaming in the 2000s—exemplified by YouTube's 2005 launch and Netflix's transition to internet video delivery in 2007—FF integrated into web and app interfaces via progress bars for frame-accurate seeking and optional speed adjustments, adapting analog tape logic to digital buffering and adaptive bitrate streaming.^[59] Unlike rewind (RW), which reverses the timeline for review or correction, FF enforces unidirectional forward movement, aligning with content consumption's inherent causality from past to future events and reducing disorientation in linear narratives.^[56] Empirical studies on accelerated playback reveal that FF at speeds up to 2x preserves comprehension and recall comparable to normal rates, enabling users to process more content efficiently and potentially boosting session completion over rigid viewing, though platforms measure effective watch time excluding skipped intervals for retention analytics.^[60] In editing tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, FF shortcuts facilitate timeline previewing at variable rates, distinct from frame-by-frame advance, to accelerate workflow without altering source material.^[61]

Gaming

Gameplay mechanics

In multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games, "FF" commonly denotes a forfeit or surrender mechanic, allowing teams to vote to end a match prematurely when victory appears unattainable. This feature, implemented in titles like League of Legends since its 2009 release, enables players to initiate a vote via the "/ff" or "/surrender" chat command after a minimum game duration, typically 20 minutes, requiring approval from at least four out of five teammates to pass and concede defeat.^[62]^[63] The threshold ensures early-game mistakes do not prematurely terminate matches, preserving opportunities for comebacks while acknowledging lopsided scenarios based on resource disparities and objectives. Similar systems appear in tactical shooters like Valorant, where "/ff" or "/surrender" votes become available after round 4, demanding 80% team consensus in unrated modes or unanimous agreement in competitive ones to forfeit, reflecting heightened stakes in ranked play.^[64] In first-person shooter (FPS) games, "FF" refers to friendly fire, a gameplay effect permitting weapons and abilities to inflict damage on allied players, simulating real-world risks of misaimed fire in team-based combat. Originating in early titles like Counter-Strike from 1999, this mechanic is controlled via console commands such as "mp_friendlyfire 1" to activate full teammate damage or "0" to disable it, allowing server administrators to customize for different playstyles.^[65] Enabled friendly fire enforces positional awareness and communication, as stray shots can deplete health or eliminate teammates, directly impacting round outcomes in objective-driven modes; however, excessive instances often trigger automated kicks or penalties to deter griefing.^[66] Competitive gaming debates favor enabling friendly fire for strategic depth, arguing it rewards precise control and teamwork over raw aiming skill, with casual modes frequently defaulting to disabled states to prioritize accessibility and reduce accidental disruptions. While empirical esports data on win-rate correlations remains sparse, analyses indicate that toggling it off in high-level play could inflate team survival rates by 10-20% in simulations of clustered engagements, potentially undermining causal incentives for spatial caution without corresponding nerfs to area-effect weapons.^[67]^[68]

Franchises and titles

The Final Fantasy series, developed and published by Square (later Square Enix), originated with its eponymous debut title released on December 18, 1987, for the Famicom in Japan, establishing a foundation in turn-based role-playing gameplay centered on expansive narratives and character-driven stories rather than frequent iterative releases.^[69] As of 2025, the franchise encompasses 16 main numbered entries, each introducing distinct worlds, magical systems, and thematic explorations of heroism and loss, contributing to cumulative sales exceeding 200 million units worldwide, underscoring its commercial dominance driven by enduring appeal to RPG enthusiasts.^[70]^[71] Final Fight, a 1989 arcade beat 'em up developed and published by Capcom, features side-scrolling brawling mechanics where players control characters combating urban crime syndicates across six stages, originating as a coin-operated title before ports to platforms including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega CD adapted its cooperative gameplay for home consoles.^[72] Other notable gaming franchises abbreviated as FF include Fatal Fury (known as Garou Densetsu in Japan), SNK's fighting game series that began with its 1991 Neo Geo release, emphasizing one-on-one martial arts combat in a street-fighting narrative set in South Town, and influencing subsequent titles like The King of Fighters.^[73] The Fatal Frame (or Zero/Project Zero) survival horror series, initiated by Tecmo in 2001, utilizes camera-based ghost photography as a core mechanic to confront supernatural entities in Japanese folklore-inspired settings, with recent remakes like Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly in 2026 reflecting ongoing efforts to revive interest despite niche market challenges.^[74]

Arts, entertainment, and media

Film

"FF" is the title of a 1997 Swedish television short film directed by Markus Andreasson and released on May 7, 1997.^[75] The cast includes Juli Augustsson, Lars Fransson, Pia Green, and Camilla Rud.^[75] No detailed plot summaries or reception data are widely available for this production. Another short film titled "FF (aka Fuck Face)" was directed by American experimental filmmaker Julie Murray in 1986.^[76] It compiles footage gathered over three years from diverse sources, including discarded materials from dumpsters and various video formats.^[76] The work has been characterized as a visual assault that critiques the invasive aspects of media consumption.^[77] Limited audience ratings place it at 57% approval, though based on minimal reviews.^[78]

Literature

Fan fiction, abbreviated as FF, encompasses prose narratives created by fans that extend, reinterpret, or alter elements from established fictional universes, often published online or in zines rather than through traditional literary channels.^[79] This form emerged prominently in the 1960s via Star Trek fanzines, where enthusiasts produced and circulated printed stories expanding on the television series' canon, marking a shift from isolated amateur writing to organized fan communities.^[80] Earlier precedents trace to the 18th century, including sexually explicit or parodic continuations of Shakespeare's works, such as tales featuring characters like Hamlet in unauthorized scenarios that mirrored contemporary fan practices.^[81] The post-2010s digital explosion amplified FF's scale, with platforms like FanFiction.net—launched in 1998—hosting millions of stories by the mid-2010s, reflecting broad participation across demographics, particularly among younger writers honing narrative skills.^[82] Empirical data from such archives indicate sustained growth, with works often exceeding traditional novel lengths; for instance, serialized FF entries frequently surpass 100,000 words, fostering iterative feedback loops absent in conventional publishing.^[83] While predominantly derivative and non-commercial, select FF has transitioned to mainstream literature after revision, as seen in E.L. James's Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, which originated as a Twilight-derived FF posted online in 2009 and sold over 150 million copies worldwide by 2019.^[84] Critics debate FF's literary status, with proponents citing its role in democratizing storytelling and exploring themes like identity and desire beyond original constraints, yet detractors note its reliance on borrowed intellectual property limits originality.^[85] In scholarly contexts, "ff." separately denotes "and the following" in citations, a convention from 19th-century textual editing to reference sequential pages or folios, but this pertains to notation rather than creative works.^[86] No major canonical novels bear the title FF, though niche self-published series like The FF Collection—focusing on female-female romantic tropes—emerged in the 2020s via platforms such as Amazon Kindle.^[87]

Music

Owen Pallett, a Canadian composer and multi-instrumentalist, initially performed and released music under the moniker Final Fantasy, producing albums such as Has a Good Home on February 12, 2005, and He Poos Clouds on May 15, 2006, the latter earning the Polaris Music Prize for its innovative use of looped violin and vocals.^[88] Pallett abandoned the Final Fantasy name in December 2009, citing risks of trademark conflicts with the unrelated video game franchise, though his early works under the alias garnered critical acclaim for baroque pop arrangements.^[89] Songs titled "F.F." or close variants include Bebe Rexha's "F.F.F." (featuring G-Eazy), released as a single on January 13, 2017, from her EP All Your Fault: Pt. 1; the track, co-written by Rexha and interpreting the acronym as "Fuck Fake Friends," debuted at number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100.^[90] Similarly, Lil Uzi Vert released "F.F." on July 22, 2022, as part of his EP Red & White, with the title denoting "Final Fantasy" in reference to the rapper's realized ambitions amid themes of drug use and relational tension; the song has amassed over 21 million Spotify streams.^[91]^[92] The Japanese visual kei rock band F.F., formed in 1994, issued albums including Flash Forward and Venus, blending gothic and heavy metal elements typical of the genre's androgynous aesthetic and dramatic performances.^[93] Experimental music has seen "FF" as a label name, such as Belgium's FF HHH, which since the 2010s has specialized in noise, improvisation, and slow-motion electronics, releasing works that challenge conventional production norms often sidelined by mainstream metrics favoring commercial viability over sonic innovation.^[94] Chart and streaming data from platforms like Billboard and Spotify, while empirical, exhibit biases toward pop and hip-hop promotion, potentially diminishing visibility for niche acts in visual kei or experimental scenes despite their dedicated followings.^[95]

Television

In the anime series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, "F.F." serves as the title of the twelfth episode, which originally premiered on Netflix on December 1, 2021, and centers on the introduction of the Stand-using character Foo Fighters, a sentient colony of plankton capable of manipulating organic matter.^[96] The episode adapts manga chapters 624-627 and explores themes of identity and pursuit within the series' supernatural prison setting, earning an IMDb user rating of 8.4 out of 10 based on 1,553 reviews.^[96] A direct sequel episode, "F.F. - The Witness," aired as the thirteenth installment, depicting further confrontations involving Foo Fighters' abilities and alliances, with an IMDb rating of 8.0 out of 10 from 824 reviews.^[97] Final Fantasy: Unlimited (stylized as FF:U) is a 25-episode anime television series that aired weekly on TV Tokyo from October 2, 2001, to March 26, 2002, featuring an original narrative inspired by the Final Fantasy video game franchise's motifs of fantasy worlds, magical artifacts, and interdimensional travel.^[98] Produced by Square (later Square Enix) in collaboration with other studios, the plot follows siblings Ai and Yuu as they navigate "Wonderland," a barren realm threatened by a entity known as the Chaos, encountering creatures and technologies reminiscent of game elements like summons and airships.^[98] The series holds an IMDb rating of 5.9 out of 10 from 722 user votes, reflecting divided reception over its departure from traditional Final Fantasy storytelling in favor of a more serialized, experimental format.^[98] Less prominently, FF Backstage is a Dutch children's television series that ran from 2006 to 2007, consisting of episodes where young hosts explore behind-the-scenes aspects of fashion weeks and related events, created by Jan-Willem Bult.^[99]

FF is a Marvel Comics limited series published between April 2011 and January 2013, comprising 23 issues as a spin-off from the Fantastic Four featuring the Future Foundation with additional members such as Spider-Man, Luke Cage, and the original team.^[100] Written primarily by Matt Fraction with art by Mike Allred, the series depicted adventures involving scientific exploration and threats to the team's headquarters.^[100] Fighting Fantasy audio dramas, adaptations of the interactive gamebook series, include full-cast productions such as The Warlock of Firetop Mountain: The Hero's Quest released in 2020 and subsequent entries like The Forest of Doom: Lost in Darkwood.^[101]^[102] These Audible-available titles, produced starting around 2020, feature voice acting and sound design to dramatize quests in a fantasy setting, with entries earning listener ratings averaging 4.5 stars based on thousands of reviews.^[103]

Businesses and organizations

Companies and brands

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (commonly abbreviated FF) is a California-based shared intelligent mobility ecosystem company founded in May 2014, focused on developing electric vehicles with AI integration and user-centric features.^[104] The firm went public in 2021 via a SPAC merger and has pursued production of models like the FF 91, emphasizing co-creation with users for product upgrades.^[105] As of 2025, it continues operations amid challenges in scaling manufacturing and securing funding.^[106] FutureFuel Corp. (NYSE: FF) operates as a specialty chemicals manufacturer with a history tracing to 1977, producing biofuels, custom chemicals, and bio-based products primarily in the United States.^[107] The company, headquartered in Batesville, Arkansas, generates revenue through segments including chemicals for industrial applications and biodiesel, with reported sales exceeding diversification into sustainable fuels.^[108] It maintains a market capitalization reflecting its niche position in the biofuels sector as of recent filings.^[109] ff Venture Capital is a New York-based seed and early-stage investment firm founded in 2008 by John Frankel, targeting technology sectors such as AI, cybersecurity, and machine learning.^[110] The firm has backed over 150 startups, emphasizing founders disrupting markets in emerging industries, with typical investments ranging from $350,000 to $750,000 for equity stakes.^[111] In the luxury fashion sector, Fendi incorporates the FF logo—designed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1965—as a signature motif standing for "Fun Furs," initially used in fur linings and later expanded to jacquard fabrics, patterns, and capsule collections like the 2018 FF line previewed on Net-a-Porter.^[112] This interlocking double-F emblem symbolizes the brand's innovation in fur and leather goods since its Roman origins in 1925.^[113] Tesco's F&F clothing brand, launched in 2001 across UK and Ireland stores, derives its name from Florence & Fred and provides affordable menswear, womenswear, and childrenswear exclusively through Tesco channels.^[114] Starting as a modest in-store section, it has grown into an international line with annual sales contributions supporting Tesco's non-food merchandise strategy.^[115]

Professional terms

FF&E, shorthand for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, denotes movable tangible assets used in commercial operations that are not permanently affixed to a building's structure, such as desks, chairs, computers, shelving, and non-structural lighting.^[116] These items support daily business functions in sectors like hospitality, retail, and offices while remaining separable from real property for accounting and tax purposes.^[117] In procurement processes for commercial spaces, FF&E involves specification by interior designers followed by sourcing and installation to optimize operational efficiency and aesthetics without altering core building elements.^[118] Valuation of FF&E occurs separately from land and improvements, often through appraisals assessing replacement cost minus depreciation, which informs balance sheet reporting and financing decisions in real estate transactions.^[119] For U.S. tax purposes, FF&E classified as office furniture or equipment qualifies for depreciation under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) with a 7-year recovery period under the general depreciation system, enabling accelerated deductions that front-load expense recognition.^[120] This schedule, derived from IRS asset class guidelines, applies double-declining balance switching to straight-line, yielding annual percentages starting at 14.29% in year one for half-year convention placements.^[121] FF&E provisions in commercial contracts, including leases and asset purchase agreements, specify ownership transfer, maintenance obligations, and removal rights at lease end, directly affecting capital allocation and residual value realization.^[122] Depreciation of these assets generates causal fiscal benefits, as deductions reduce taxable income—potentially by thousands annually depending on acquisition costs—freeing cash for operational reinvestment rather than mere compliance with tax codes.^[123] In high-value procurements, such as hotel fit-outs exceeding $1 million, these impacts compound, lowering effective tax rates by 20-30% in early years through MACRS acceleration compared to straight-line alternatives.^[124]

Other uses

Military and sports

In military contexts, FF denotes "friendly fire," referring to combat incidents where forces inadvertently attack their own side or allied units due to misidentification or errors in engagement protocols. Such occurrences have been documented across conflicts, often exacerbated by limitations in Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) systems, which rely on electronic transponders to distinguish combatants but can fail under conditions like electronic interference, equipment malfunctions, or environmental factors such as dust and poor visibility.^[125]^[126] During the 1991 Gulf War, friendly fire accounted for approximately 17% of U.S. casualties, with 35 American service members killed and others wounded amid the coalition's rapid armored advances. Investigations attributed many incidents to IFF technology shortcomings, including incomplete retrofitting of vehicles with transponders and failures in ground-to-air coordination, leading to events like the downing of allied aircraft or tank-on-tank engagements in obscured conditions; official after-action reviews emphasized human factors like command-control breakdowns alongside technical gaps, rather than isolated errors.^[125]^[127]^[128] In sports, particularly American football, FF stands for "forced fumble," a defensive statistic recording instances where a player causes the ball carrier to lose possession through contact, enabling potential recovery by the opposing team. This metric, tracked by the National Football League (NFL), underscores aggressive tackling techniques and has been integral to player evaluations since formal stat-keeping expanded in the mid-20th century.^[129]^[130] In golf scoreboards, FF occasionally abbreviates "finalized finish," indicating a player's round has concluded with scores verified and submitted, aiding tournament officials in real-time leaderboard updates.^[131]

Miscellaneous

In automotive engineering, FF designates a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, wherein the engine is mounted longitudinally or transversely at the vehicle's front, powering the front wheels via a transaxle or separate transmission. This configuration, which originated with early designs like the 1930s Citroën Traction Avant but saw limited adoption until post-World War II, proliferated in the 1970s amid oil crises and demands for efficiency; examples include the 1974 Volkswagen Golf and Fiat 127, which prioritized interior space, lower production costs, and improved traction over traditional rear-wheel-drive setups.^[132]^[133] In construction and architectural documentation, FF commonly abbreviates "finished floor," referring to the elevation of a building's completed flooring surface relative to a benchmark, often used in blueprints to specify levels for compliance with codes and drainage requirements.^[134] This usage ensures precise vertical measurements in projects, distinguishing it from rough or subfloor stages.^[135]
