There was FFVII for pc too.
My favaourite was FFVII of course, best story and best batle system, his only downpart were the graphics (which i dont care), the remake on ps3 will take care of that :D
FFVIII, had way better graphics but they forgot the history part ( FFVIII history really sucks compared to FFVII) and i hated to need the materials to get a better weapon and the command thingie where you have to choose from, but the cards game was fun.
FFIX, went back to FFVII superderformed like graphics but it was so childish looking, and i hated that abilities thingie (to need to have the item equipped till you learned the abilitie) and it had the worst story of the 3, and its card game really sucked
and i still want to play FFX and up, i have no ps2 :(

Well it's a bit to late to buy the little black box as the PS3 is coming up and i think you can play PS2 games on it too.
Never had the opportunity to play any of them yet.
And what Chard meant to say, was that his favorite is FFVIII.
[snapback]29770[/snapback]
Yup, it is.
FFX is not popular at all FVII is, FFXII is coming soon and FFXIII is gonna be launched on PS3
[snapback]29806[/snapback]
Well it was the fastest selling FF game ever. It's also the 3rd best selling one.

Well it was the first Final Fantasy title for the PS2. It's overrated because of the graphics. In most magazines it even had a higher score then Kingdom Hearts. (I think Kingdom Hearts is way better.) FFX had like a 9.0 in most magazines and KH had 8.5.
are they gona remake FFVII WoW didn't knew that :o :D :D
[snapback]29943[/snapback]
Maybe. Nothing's been officially announced.
I wouldn't get you hopes up, they amde a bit of it for a tech demo and said it wasn't going to go any further, it was olny the starting cutscene anyway
[snapback]29958[/snapback]
Do you happen to know if they released any Teasers, Scans or even screenshots of the game?
Its not a game, just a tech demo, i'll have a look around and see if I can find them for you
[snapback]29969[/snapback]
If the demand is there then they might make it. I think the demand is there, I wouldn't be surprised if it's made. Square re-releases many of it's games. I'd love to see a collectors editions of all the FFs on a single BD-Rom for the PS3.

FF7 is on the PC. Also, what Mo said. I got an NES emulator just so I could play the original FF again.

Uh, that's what the emulator is for, it allows you to play old console games or old arcade games on your PC.
My favorite nes emulator is the unfortunately named nesticle (http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/nes/nesticle.html)
For arcade games I prefer MAME (http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/arcade/mame.html)

FFVIII is also a PC game.
[snapback]30025[/snapback]
Its also a crap game
Can someone please tell me why you enjoy the FF series of games?
The early versions I can understand - they had an element of gameplay involved.
But FF VIII onwards (maybe before, but i havent played them) seems to consist of:
1) Graphics
2) Soundtrack
3) Story
Where is the gameplay element?
What aspects of the actual gameplay do you enjoy, and why?
I dont mean to be bitchy, and I have actually played these games, and found them very pretty.
But they are just the modern day equivalent of Don Bluths videogames, albeit with a bit more control. You just wander around, usually just to get to your next encounter whereby you listen to some crappy fight music, choose a few attacks at random, then watch a FMV sequence.
Am I wrong? If so, why am I wrong? I really want to know.

Interactive movie is how I'd put it. That's probably overly simplified however.
I have disliked FFX onward.

That was my impression too - hence my reference to Don Bluth (Dragons Lair, Space Ace, et al).

Wasn't sure who Don Bluth is. But i had a feeling that's what you were talking about. Final Fantasy games are much more opened ended than those games, with a lot more stuff to do and find. Plus those games didn't have much in the way of a story line and players definitely didn't feel as though they had any influence over what ever story elements those games did have.

Wasn't there one called Cliff Hanger or something like that too? I seem to remember spending a bunch of quarters on that before I decided it was crap.

I don't know what you mean by gameplay element but for me the gameplay element is equivalant to the story element at RPG's .
Face it most of the RPG games aren't about graphics, but about soundtracks and storylines.
FF VIII for me at least has one of the BEST storylines ever (haven't played FF VII or later then FF VIII.)

Final Fantasy is not an rpg, its an adventure game where the puzzles are replaced by hours and hours of endless battles and even more hours of summoning cinematics.
Its not your fault. Squaresoft would have you believe that it is in fact a roleplaying game, they even advertise it as one, but when you get right down to it you're on the same kind of rigid path you are on in a game like Monkey Island, Broken Sword, or Myst (only without the requirement of your brain). You just have to click things in a slightly different way to unlock the story. So yes, it is widely acceptd that the final fantasy series is somehow a roleplaying institution of some kind, but its mostly a way to give lonely teenagers something to stare at for 50-100 hours.

I was watching my friend EDG (Evil Dr. Giggles) A.K.A. HeLLRaZoR play FFX, and I will note that he was watching ALOT of cinematics. It was his second time playing through he said. I looked over and watched one of the cinematics.. I see how they help to "hook" teenagers, positioning the camera angle so you end up seeing what's going on right next to a female character's cleavage. Tell me I am wrong and I will smack you, I seen it myself! Then again, one must think about how many games now a days use the 'horny teenager' thing to their advantage.

Sorry but again not true you say FF doesn't have puzzles not true, first example a dungeon..
you are at the city but to enter the mansion of Rinoa's dad you have to find a student's ID number in a dungeon, you get a map of the dungeon and you can get a GF in the dungeon.
The student's ID number is easy to find but to get to the GF you have to use your brain a little to navigate trough the dungeon...
Second example at Ragnarok my first time trough FF VIII i was battling those monsers but they kept spawning the trick was to to beat up the monsters with the same colour....
Third example navigating trough the sewers (same as the dungeon a bit)
There are many things like that...
FF VIII isn't just brainless battles IT is a RPG/adventure game, just as NWN in NWN you go also to other regions and battling monsters....

That's a maze not a puzzle.
That's also not a puzzle, either a tactic or a strategy, not a puzzle.
Still not a puzzle, probably a maze like the first.
Maybe not brainless, I don't know, I haven't played. But the examples you gave are not puzzles.

Then be impressed, I did it twice. The first time I did it with a party, we didn't kill much we just did our best to run through. I found the door on the first floor by the markings, and had someone with search look there, then I had to figure out the damn puzzle on the second cause my party members were incompetent. The maze was simple however, it was easier than the first two floors cause I didnt have a bunch of shit trying to kill me. Once we got to the end, my party ended up dying out cause people crashed or left, went to the fourth dungeon by myself, got owned and left. The second time I had Hubba following me killing shit for me lol.
Though I remember running into a huge fricken eyeball and a horror in a dead end. -_-
they keep the maze books with the puzzle books in most bookstores.....

Super Impressed
Now that i think about it, you don't really have to use your brain in Final Fantasy. But i don't care. The story and the graphics is what keeps me hooked up till the end.
FFX sucks compared to VII and VIII. :tease:
[snapback]30085[/snapback]
But you have to admit that the original Final Fantasy had the best graphics and soundtrack. I even entered a Nintendo Power contest by taking a picture of the randomely spawning robot near the final battle.
