I can't even remember anything about the storyline of 12. Music wasn't great either, though the Gilgamesh battle remix from 5 was fucking amazing.

Couldn't resist this any longer, downloading FFVIII as we speak. I'm not going to have any life outside of this for the next week. Man, I loved that game as a kid.

Hands up who wants to hear a metal track about riding a chocobo? Nobody? Well they made it anyway,

I like XIII-2 so far, better than XIII after a similar number of hours. Characters and plot are largely bland and forgettable but theres more freedom than in XIII and the battle system and leveling up are fun (basically exactly the same as XIII), the addition of monsters to your party is nice too. Its nice to be able to explore a little, take on sidequests and chat to characters instead of a never ending supply of tunnels to walk down.

I'm much preferring it to 13 as well, having the monster training bit and even a little Golden Saucer-esque area (although with nowhere near as many things to do) makes it a lot more enjoyable and feel less of a grind.

I've just been levelling up my Chocobo to take it racing.

Final Fantasy died after FFX IMO. FFXIII is awful and I just couldn't get into FFXII and it's not only because of the combat, something was just missing...

My top 3 are:

FFIX
FFVIII
FFX

I started FFVII long time age but never finished it, must play it again, don't remember the story at all.

WeasteDevil · 7th February 2012, 01:47

The daft thing is is that that the producers/directors are exactly the same people, almos all the way back. Let's see what Nomura does with Versus.

Waitey · 15th February 2012, 21:38

I loved the FF on the PS1, FF VII was my favourite game ever by some distance... but lost all interest when in computer games when i discovered girls and alcohol. Now i have finally am all settled in my own gaff i have invested in a PS3 and was going to buy FF XIII-2 but was just wondering if it is worth it if i havent done FF XIII first?

The reviews seem to be by large shite for that one so cant be arsed wastin my time doing it, doesnt really seem like i've missed much since i've been away

It's very repayable. Played it again on my psp a few years back via an emulator.

KingEric7 · 16th February 2012, 00:35

Hmm, I think I may be a bit obsessed. I've just downloaded every single soundtrack/OST all the way up to FFX-2, including piano covers, DS versions, remixes, orchestrated symphonies, Uematsu's Phantasmagoria and even the Advent Children soundtrack (which is fucking amazing, obviously).

Nobuo Uematsu is a musical god. It's an absolute tragedy that he no longer composes for these games.

FFVIII was my first and the one I remember most fondly. Recently jailbreaked my iPad and I am playing it again on there. Though the quality doesn't seem too great, its good to play it again after all these years.

I've had them all for years and they do get a played rather frequently. It's music that just takes you back to different points of your life

KingEric7 · 16th February 2012, 01:06

Yeah, definitely. It's probably the music I get the most pleasure out of listening to given the nostaligia, and also given what particular songs mean in context of the plot and characters.

I've just come across an absolute beauty that I hadn't heard before:

Definitely not in FF8, that version - it's in some random album Uematsu released seperately. What a beautiful take on Eyes On Me that is! And as for the following:

Ixion · 19th February 2012, 18:35

Finished XIII-2, good game I think, much better than XIII. Always lots to do, places to see, sidequests and things, not so insanely linear like XIII was. The characters are OK in the end, although the story is a little forgettable. The ending is bullshit though, guess they're really going to milk every last penny with DLC, soured things a bit.
