Who knows why. Remember, it's in BM's dream. Maybe they mentioned the term "behoove" beforehand and BM's subconscious interpreted it as "removing hooves", and we all know that "hooves" is another term for a four-legged animal's feet.

But why don't we ask Brian himself why it really is.

Bah! It's not Fighter's shoe that's missing, it's the shadow color of his boot. I don't know what's up with the bottom of Thief's foot, though... I don't think yellow is shadow color of black..

Leifein is where you get NUKE.

What would be awesome is if that's how they executed prisoners and then their mage casts NUKE and BM casts Hadoken, and it's totally DBZ fireball showdown!!!

Likely because those are the bottoms of their shoes.

Hanging isn't the most peaceful way to die. If the neck isn't immediately broken or the person being hung isn't decapitated, he or she might struggle violently before succumbing to asphyxiation. So, it's entirely possible that they both kicked off their shoes while hanging.

Or maybe the Lefeinians like to steal the left shoes of their prisoners.

Or maybe it's just the bottoms of their shoes.

But anyway, it was BM's dream, so anything's possible. *shrugs*

They're the bottom of Thief's shoes & Fighter's boots, respectively. (And since you don't even BOTHER to complain about Red Mage you should already know that.)

Because they were done in the limited, FF1-3j style, I only used colors that already existed on the sprites. I suppose I could've gone w/ red for fighter & blue for Thief. But those colors looked stupid, so I didn't.

And I've seen Thief's type of ninja shoes w/ rubberized bottoms for grip, so that's why they look that way.

Dammit!


Cygnet's got a fine point there - hanging can leave you dying aggravatingly slow if it's not executed properly. I recall it being able to take 30 minutes, or an hour... I think...
