Plays fine, only played up untill you get out of Midgar, so wouldn't know after that.How does it play on the PS3, or doesn't it?
Agreed. I liked 8 though. I think they fecked up quite severely with 12 considering the amount of times it was delayed. I'm torn between 9 and 7 for my favourite of the series. The storylines in those 2 were simply epic.I've played all the FF games (and I mean all, SNES included) and I tink I can safely say, they are, and will always be the greatest gaming series I've ever played. VII alone is the greatest game ever made, and bar a few hiccups (VIII anyone?) they're all quite brilliant.
I'll be getting myself a PS3 for XIII, but seeing as it's out later this year in Japan, I won't have to get one for another 2 years...
They're the best set of games that i've ever bought. Perfect.They've got a dream team writing the game - Nobuo Uematsu composing, Yoshitaka Amano on graphic design, Kazushige Nojima on storyboard.
That is the reason i wll end up getting a PS3, somewhere along the line.
They recreated the famous opening scene on FF7 in PS3 graphics to show how good it would look. I'm not entirely convinced that it was just a teaser.They are also remaking VII for the PS3. God knows how it will turn out.
Hopefully, graphics let FF7 down big time, other than that it was a perfect game.
The FMV's were, but if you call big lego-like characters amazing graphics, then you are the one being sarcastic my gay friend.
Sarcasm I'm sure. At the time those graphics were amazing.
It was a PS1, it only did lego graphics!The FMV's were, but if you call big lego-like characters amazing graphics, then you are the one being sarcastic my gay friend.
I've played Chrono Trigger (Was it SNES or PS1, I can barely remember) and it was a magnificent game, and by all accounts, better than some FF games. The combat system was glorious, and it had a very strange storyline.Sorry to derail the Final Fantasy topic, but has anyone here played Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross? They are better games imo..
he's come back to do a few more tracks for FF13They're the best set of games that i've ever bought. Perfect.
Saying that, hasn't Uematsu retired now? The FF12 soundtrack was simply inadequate and that was in no small part down to the fact that he only did one of the tracks on it.
FF12's real time system is better than any other FF gameThe music in FF7 was awesome, and the battle systems have always been top notch.
So to sum it up, you're wrong.
Oof, wouldn't go that far, I'm a fan of the turn based combat myself. Still, I like the combat system in XII, takes a while to get going but it's great fun once you get about 20 hours in.FF12's real time system is better than any other FF game
Random battles were my biggest bugbear, then you had to go through turns while the boss beat the living crap out of youOof, wouldn't go that far, I'm a fan of the turn based combat myself. Still, I like the combat system in XII, takes a while to get going but it's great fun once you get about 20 hours in.
My only gripe with it, is that I got the feeling that Squaresoft only fecking did it to give the game a more widespread appeal, something they've been doing a lot of lately, with all these shit spin offs and 'sequels'.
Very much on the save wavelength. And with Nomura backing this game and admitting its going to be his last Final Fantasy you know FF vs XIII will be special.That is the reason i wll end up getting a PS3, somewhere along the line.
Occasional violence occurred in the PS Premiere trailer, unlike that of previous Final Fantasy titles hinting the game might receive a more mature rating than its predecessors. Perpetual teleportations proposed a new aspect that may bring forth some interesting gameplay
If he can achieve what he says he can, this game will be one of the, if not the, biggest in 2008.From an interview with Nomura in Dengeki PlayStation 2 magazine, he has stated that he aims to create previously unseen "tricky" battle sequences, reminiscent of the CGI film, Final Fantasy VII Advent Children.
VIII as by far the worst. 7 and 9 were fantastic. I really liked the character Zidane in 9. Liked the whole travelling actors storyline at the beginning as well. Also Steiner and Vivi combination was fantastic in IX. Also loved the card game.FFVIII is the best
Dont think they are. Designers were quoted as saying there was no remake on the way. It was just to show the power of the PS3 graphics chip.They are also remaking VII for the PS3. God knows how it will turn out.
It was Aries or Tifa, Garnet was in IX but other than that i agree with you 100% I hated VIII and loved VII. The most moving gaming experience of my life. In a strange way even the imperfections made it better (graphics etc..)VIII as by far the worst. 7 and 9 were fantastic. I really liked the character Zidane in 9. Liked the whole travelling actors storyline at the beginning as well. Also Steiner and Vivi combination was fantastic in IX. Also loved the card game.
In VII Cloud and Garnet were brilliant as well as Yufi. She was pretty cool.
VIII is the one of the only ones since 7 i havent completed. I even completed X-2 and that was fecking awful.
Best one since they went on to PS2 was X. Thought it was well worked, challenging and all round pretty fecking goog.
I thought that Nojima has a much greater impact on a character compared to Nomura - you relate to the characters through the game story.Very much on the save wavelength. And with Nomura backing this game and admitting its going to be his last Final Fantasy you know FF vs XIII will be special.
Looks a hell of alot darker than the others, also one of the first time i've seen blood in a FF game.
some, yes. why don't you put it in and try it?Yeah its quality. At the risk of asking a stupid question, can you play ps2 games on the ps3? Would love to play FF9 again, I have played 7 and 8 to death.
If you have the right sort of PS3, then yes!Yeah its quality. At the risk of asking a stupid question, can you play ps2 games on the ps3? Would love to play FF9 again, I have played 7 and 8 to death.
I don't have a ps3, but have been thinking of getting one.some, yes. why don't you put it in and try it?
I can tell you that Star Wars Battlefront II plays just fine on the PS3
So can you get some sort of emulator or chip for it then I presume?If you have the right sort of PS3, then yes!
you should get one, Smashed, they're ace.I don't have a ps3, but have been thinking of getting one.
So can you get some sort of emulator or chip for it then I presume?
No! Just buy the right version of PS3.So can you get some sort of emulator or chip for it then I presume?
The North American 80GBs do! SCEA (North America) and SCEE (Europe) are allowed to choose what models they want to sell. Obviously, SCEE must have done research showing that far more people wanted a price drop than to play PS2 games - probably taking the opinion that because the PS2 is so cheap, someone if they wanted it can just buy both. SCEA research might have pointed to Americans willing to pay extra for backwards compatibility, and thus they still have two models - 40Gb without for $100 less than the 80Gb with.Why on earth don't the new models let you play ps2 games?
The thing is though, they are putting more and more PS1 games up on the Playstation Store to buy. I don't know what revenue stream that type of thing provides, but they cannot do that now with PS2 games until they (if ever) get PS2 compatibility working totally through a software solution. Then again they probably don't give a shit as the PS2 is still selling like hotcakes.Cost, probably.
the 80Gb comes with Motorstorm, too.The North American 80GBs do! SCEA (North America) and SCEE (Europe) are allowed to choose what models they want to sell.

Could also be true, his work with Nomura on Kingdom Hearts went worldwide as well.I thought that Nojima has a much greater impact on a character compared to Nomura - you relate to the characters through the game story.
I too never really cared for VIII.VIII as by far the worst. 7 and 9 were fantastic. I really liked the character Zidane in 9. Liked the whole travelling actors storyline at the beginning as well. Also Steiner and Vivi combination was fantastic in IX. Also loved the card game.

Yep, that's probably it. The PS2 is still holding its own, and Sony probably still recognizes it as a legitimate money-making product with its own market so they won't bundle it with the PS3.The thing is though, they are putting more and more PS1 games up on the Playstation Store to buy.

USA:
I too never really cared for VIII.
IX was a good game.
X was fantastic. I played way too much Blitzball.
I really liked 8, personally. I think the only problem was that you could get ridiculously strong very early on in the game. It had a hell of a soundtrack and an excellent storyline.VIII as by far the worst. 7 and 9 were fantastic. I really liked the character Zidane in 9.

Agreed about X though. They really nailed the transition from PS1 to PS2 with that game and at times it was like watching a really good film. The OST was epic the storyline was equally as good with many extras to go with it. "To Zanarkand" must be one of the best video game tracks i've ever heard.
Cannot stress enough how disappointed i was with 12, though. At first i thought it was excellent but as i went through the game it became much less playable and i no longer enjoyed playing it eventually.
That was a cracking track.
