Buying final fantasy... but which one?

[Naffets]

7 all the way

8 was nice too, i still have original copies of both games for PSX

Lets start a petition to force square to redo FF7 for PS3 (They have shown a tech demo of it only thus far)

They are redoing it

They are redoing it

where did you hear/ read that? considering the last i heard was this

UPDATE: We received word as soon as our boys made it back that Square Enix wanted to make it clear that there will not be a Final Fantasy VII remake for PS3. Repeat, there will not be a remake. But, there will be a new Final Fantasy game for the system somewhere down the line. We'll have info on that as it happens

 

[Demon2k3]

ff7 all the way as stated. It's just plain awesome.
ff9 is also nice with it's reintroduction of old class system.
ff5 is sweet if you like an wide variety of classes and lot of choices as it got an awesome job system. ff4 and 5 can be bough to ps by buying final fantasy anthology wich i got myself.

ff10 haven't played it but didn't like the look of bahamut summon. HE's an dragon not an frikking bird wich he looks like in ff10.

I know you wont have a chance to get this but Final Fantasy Tactics on the ps1 was brilliant.

I had a chipped machine and the copy I had was American, dont think it was released here

But it was fantastic, gave a new slant on the ff series

There is Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, which is played in a similar vein to the original. New story and style to it though (so I hear as I haven't played it myself even though it has been out for ages now.)

That style of tactical RPG though is, in my view at least, still ruled over by Shining Force 3, even though it was a game where we got screwed over on though. Only Japan got all three scenarios to what seemed like a fantastic game with a brilliant storyline.... Hmmm, me thinks it's time to crash out the Saturn again.

Oh, some also say that Fire Emblem is the best of that genre, but I didn't really like the fact that if one of your characters gets beaten then you permanently lose that character for the rest of the game.

With the games La Pucelle Tactics and Disgaea: Hour Of Darkness (bloody long game if you let it be) though thankfully we have seen a small revival of the genre. All we need now is for a proper Shining Force 4.

You know I am kinda surprised that no one has mentioned Kingdom Hearts yet. A very unusual mixture of Disney and Squaresoft. Playing the part of Sora alongside Donald Duck and Goofy with guest appearances from the world of both Disney movies as well as characters from Final Fantasy. Tough game in places too I hear (trying my hardest to get it before Kingdom Hearts 2 is out, with no luck whatsoever yet.)

Everyone hates those cartoonish looking Rpg´s,

 

[Ryuno]

I played the first Kingdom Hearts, was alot of fun tbh

And in an interview with one of the producer's at square, he hinted strongly that a remake for ff7 is on the cards. I can't find the damn interview, but its on the net somewhere

I think you misplaced bahamut with the first aeon Valefor, bahamut looks as sweet as he does in ever game (<3) while Valefor is the ridicolous birdie you mentioned.

 

[fettoken]

I just found a link for a Playstation Portable game, Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core. http://www.webhallen.com/prod.php?id=57079

yeah bahumat was still the badass as ever, my favourite summon till i got the sisters, but valefor was alround shit =/ i never had any fun with that guy

That makes us 2.

i would say FF7 and tactics.

i only played tactics as a ROM on the PC though, still uber for a turn based game.

The psx version of tactics?


Where did you find that little nugget ?

 

[tris-]

think it was a GBA rom not psx rom :/

Didn't he say that he played it on the pc with an emulator? Or hmm, maybe you asked where he found that ROM, god I'm slow today.

 

[Jorof]

FF7 - best game i've played.

but if you can wait and be happy to shell out for a PS3 then they are doing FF7 on there and the gfx look wonderfull for it.

If this is true .. omg!

 

[Speedr]

get, 6/7/8/9/10

but i would focus on 7/8 because imo they have the longest play times if you want to do most things

I am not sure if you have, but have you tried to kill Penance on FFX ? damn near playing 160+ hours on my last save trying to stat max my characters and i doublt i'll be done before 200 hours That bloody mob has like 1 billion hp's and insane defence/offense

Try working your way up from IV and V which are on FF:Anthology, then get 6,7,8,9 X and X-2 , best one of all is 7 imo, best storyline is 7 or X and best combat system goes to X also.

not yet, im trying to get around to stat maxing, but it needs a lot of time from me, which atm i don't seem to have =/ but i will get around to stat maxing on 3 chars only then use them its just getting all the items needed to start and unlocking all the necessary bosses a pain in the arse..

edit: and i dont think i should even bother trying yet, i killed dark valefor but only just, it almost wiped the floor just got lucky that i won, however i then went to ixion and died straight away :'(

From what I hear the easiest way to kill the Dark Aeons and Penance is to use Wakka with his Attack Reels. That to me though is like killing the WEAPONS in Final Fantasy 7 using the Slots Limit Break of Cait Sith.

yeah but to do that succesfully it takes a lot of blitzball to get the ultimate weapon powered up fully and quite frankly i hate blitzball the matches are too long for me

 

[Dantares]

Yeah, Blitzball kinda stinks. It's an interesting idea, but I am not that fond of it. Pretty good at it, but I still don't like it much.

 

[Thadius]

I meant the rom +emulator

 

[grimlin]

FF11

you have to pay 50p to save or something

 

[Sharma]

Heh I used to find it fun.

Then I found a bug.

Basically, score 1 goal for your team, then when you get the ball, go sit behind your goal keeper, everyone else swims around in circles.

It still means around 10 minutes of doing nothing whilst time runs out, and for me it seems the people after a while of spinning start going for you its less mindnumbing to win each game with 3/4 jecht shots

Finished FFX in 140hours total that Inc all teh Dark Aeons and the 2 solids bosses (Nemesis and Penance)

The best way to XP I found was in the monster Arena Killing Don Tombery,

What you need to Overdriver > AP, Set tow of your Characters to Comrade and one to Stoic, only have teh person with the Stoic overdriver fight, Make sure he died lots of times, and keep reviving him and u will get stupid amound of XP if you can get Triple AP on the same weapons or in another slot u are laughing, get about 30 to 40 slvl per kill ,

Don't get me wrong in saying i ain't started all that, i'm most of the way through it atm, i just need the patience to sit down for another so many hours to finish hehe. Everything else i've done in the game except penance, got all weapons etc sph lvl gaining weapons on all blah blah i also used the Don Tonberry trick, except that he hits my Tidus for 99999 each time so auto life works wonders, get 99 sph levels each time i fight it

Oh and the easier way to kill the Dark Aeons is to have Yojimbo do Zanmato on it
