Fan website – FFextreme.com

FFextreme is a fan site devoted to Role-Playing games, specifically those in the Final Fantasy series. This dedication is clearly shown by the navigation bar with roman numerals on it, which provide links to the more popular Final Fantasy titles. It is the familiarity of only needing numerals for the actual game in question to be obvious that shows the sites thorough knowledge of the games, and also tells us that the fans that tend to visit this site are more serious than most gamers. Along the side is another navigation bar, however this one has more options as to which games to look at, and features titles related to the Role-Playing genre - not just Final Fantasy.
The colour scheme is mainly blues, black and white, with light text on a dark background which gives the site a professional pristine. Pictures of game screenshots help to brighten up the monochrome site background, and also act to promote the advanced graphics used in the games featured. The “News Desk” is where the updates go, whether they be about upcoming events, site renovations or industry news. The main advertisement in the top centre of the page is for the site forums, inviting users to check out the return of the simply named “Final Fantasy Forums”.
Overall FFextreme provides much more information and related material than the official sites, providing extras that attract the audience to browse fan sites as opposed to the official ones. An example of these extras is as follows:
