At first I didn't like the way they did it, but I grew to like it.

I expect that the PS3 games will be fully that! Maybe even 7.1 surround full Dolby HD.

I'd imagine the graphics and audio will be nothing short of amazing.

Now I kind of want to hook my PS2 back up and kill Sin.

Rahul · 24th January 2008, 21:28

I should really play VII, i've actually only played titles after X !

Need to find myself a ps1 emulator then, or just buy a second hand psx game and play it on the ps2.

Ouch! You've missed out on some of the greatest games ever made!
I would be eternally grateful to anyone who could help provide me with a working version of FFVI on the PC.

You want an emulator or the game in PC form?

KingEric7 · 24th January 2008, 21:50

Anything to be honest. Last time i tried an emulator though, it was a bit slow.

Meant Tifa. Silly me. I actually prefered 9 to 7 but its marginal. I think it was the story for me that swayed it.

I liked 9 but the beginning...in fact most of the first disc was a bit boring

I never actually played 9, my older brother said it was shite so I never gave it a go.

7 & 10 are the two best in the series for me, if I had to pick one I would just probably edge for 7 as it was the 1st RPG I ever played.

Also, I have a 60gb PS3 in the UK, would FF10 work on my PS3 or not?

You would have to check the official Sony compatibility list. They have a webpage just for that.

Ok cheers.

All this talk of FF has got me in the mood for having another round on it.

Like most other people I was also disappointed with 12, started off well but then became all too easy.

I just checked:

It depends on what the product code is. It goes from playing with noticable issues, to playing perfectly.

[Hellboy]17 · 24th January 2008, 22:51

I've played FF all my life, definitely my second passion after Manchester United.

FF XII was a big let down though.

Right know I'm having an other round on it, FF7, FF8, FF9, all on my PSP.

I'll enquire in the shop tomorrow, although I may just wait for DMC4, anyone else getting it?

Have you downloaded the demo yet?

Seems like I'm the only one in here that liked FFXII...

This is one of my favourite scenes from the whole of the FF series

And this is my favourite boss music from the entire series.

Didn't finish it - loved the world and the graphics, but when you can outlast a 5 hour battle, the end boss is dead simple.

I got up to the Ridorana Cataract about 2 months ago, am I far off from finishing it? If I aint too far off, I may well just do it to see the ending, although I always like maxing out my characters before I do that.

I've yet to finish it, but I like it so far.

The only problem with FF VII is that you can't use the analogue sticks to move around. It was only set up for the directional buttons which was fine at the time, but after using the sticks ever since it's a constant annoyance to go back to using the D-Pad. It's the only thing stopping me from playing it again (and again).

London_Red · 26th January 2008, 13:59

Its possible to play FFVII on your pc. If you go to google and type in FFVII ultima torrent you can download it. It works perfectly i have completed it on my laptop. Its also possible to download patches to improve the character graphics. The character graphics are replaced by the characters in the FFVII advent children film. Slows the game down a bit. Havent found a FFIX one though that works fully.
