Final Fantasy
 
I was thinking about buying the game for PC, does anyone have it? is it fun.. and so on..?

Hercules Rockefeller 10-03-2004 08:04 AM

XI? I absolutely hated it, though I knew I would. I've bought about every FF game except for the N64 and GBA ones. Online crap doesn't do it for me so I'll wait for XII to come out.

What's XII? is it coming out soon? or what?

Ratboy 10-03-2004 08:19 AM

I've played a game called Priston Tales (When it was free) but now they charge like $130? a year to play

Final Fantasy XII. That doesn't come out in Japan until this Winter, so it'll be around a year until it comes out in the US.

That's cheaper then FFXI. $12.95/month x 12.

Rock Chalk 10-03-2004 09:31 AM

I never played 11 but I didnt want to. Online RPGs are just a bad idea to me. I have absolutely loved the series though with only a few exceptions. I didnt care for FF Tactics and FF X-2 really pissed me off. For all its hype, it was just a crap version of FF X without all the good stuff.

FF 9 was a lot like the first Final Fantasy (Still may favorite one), but they tried to make improvements on it and I think they failed. Still was decent.

If 12 goes back to single player only I will buy it but if not I think I am done with the series.

Hercules Rockefeller 10-03-2004 09:36 AM

12 is a typical FF game, and you suck b/c FFT was a great game.

Kaylore 10-03-2004 10:02 AM

I used to love the FF series. FF2(4) is still my favorite with 3(6) a close second. After they started getting weird and preachy I began to lose interest. I did really like XIII and XIV, but after X they turned into a Japanese teen idol skin show.

Japanese games are excellent until they try to get "deep" and teach some philosophical principle to you. Look at Metal Gear Solid 1 vs 2. The first was excellent, the second's ending was a laughable theory on our government worthy of LABF.

Rock Chalk 10-03-2004 10:03 AM

My friend loved Tactics Herc but it was just not what I was looking for in a FF game.

Hercules Rockefeller 10-03-2004 10:15 AM

It was different then the others, probably why its one of my favorites.

I probably liked IX the best, XI and VIII were the worst.

Kaylore 10-03-2004 10:21 AM

I always thought XII was the worst. I mean how many times did we have to watch Cloud dramatically grab his head figuring out who he is? Mr. T was shamefully stereotypical, and the only character I liked, Aeris, was killed in the middle of the game. The world never drew me in, and the whole idea that they're stoping a meteor is just stupid.

Rock Chalk 10-03-2004 11:05 AM

I think you mean VII Kaylore. XII is twelve and hasnt come out yet.

I liked VIII! I liked the story. The only thing about 8 I didnt like was the weapons. I didnt like having to modify the weapons you start with to get better weapons. Id rather just find or buy a better one ya know. The card game had me hooked for endless hours on 8 though and the airship in 8, The Ragnarok, was by far the best airship in teh series.

Hercules Rockefeller 10-03-2004 11:42 AM

The "drawing" to get magic was retarded, ditto with basically every character being able to have every spell and summon.

Rock Chalk 10-03-2004 11:49 AM

Yeah that drawing business did suck. But every character could use every summon or magic in FF 7 too. I kinda liked it like that.

Hercules Rockefeller 10-03-2004 11:59 AM

That's right. I really liked the way IX did it, where you can learn stuff as you level up, but also learn stuff due to equipping certain items.

Rock Chalk 10-03-2004 12:02 PM

9 was more like 1 in that there were classes. I really especially loved the black mage class and the guy with the hat, and the jawa eyes. He was in FF 1 and that rocked. I do miss the classes and how you could pick them (start with a thief, change him to a ninja later, have a black mage, a white mage, a warrior or three).

My ringer on my cell phone is the menu music from Final Fantasy 1.

Hercules Rockefeller 10-03-2004 12:14 PM

I bought 1 again when they re-released on PSX a year or two ago, it was great to play it again.

I don't know if it is still in the works, but I remember hearing awhile ago that VII, VIII, and IX were going to be re-released on PS2. Not sure if that is still the case though.

They are doing a VII game for PS2 with Vincent as the lead character, and I think it is supposed to be a shooter.

Yes, that's what I meant.

I actually really liked the card game in VIII, and the characters were more developed and likable.

I have FF1 on my emulator. Emulators are the bomb.

If you ever played Dragon Warrior you know the legend of Erdrick from that game?

Well in the graveyard in FF1, one of the tombstones says "Here lies Erdrick RIP"

Just a little easter egg I found.

Hercules Rockefeller 10-03-2004 08:20 PM

I've only played DW7 and I'm not that far in it.

I know there's an invisible person you can talk to in FF1

Rock Chalk 10-03-2004 08:23 PM

DW 7? Damn I stopped after DW 3, didnt even know it was still a series.

Hercules Rockefeller 10-03-2004 08:40 PM

yeah, 8's coming out in Japan pretty soon for PS2. That's what happens when your company is bought up or merges with Square, sequels keep coming. FF, DW, Star Ocean, and Xenogears.

Ratboy 10-03-2004 08:49 PM

Seems kinda expensive to play a video game. but if people are paying it they wont lower the price

Rock Chalk 10-03-2004 08:56 PM

At least FF changes the game every sequel. Its a different story with diferent characters (save one exception).
