So... I'm watching the FF12's Special DVD "History of Final Fantasy" which takes you through all the final fantasies and what the main story was generally about.

Now... I'm really curious about these games and I'm wondering if anyone knows which games I should try.

Final Fantasy 6 looks the most interesting of all the ones pre-FF7. But any suggestions would be nice

[Annûniel (#90354)]

Final Fantasy VI by far my favorite Final Fantasy ever made. I believe its far superior to any Final Fantasy made before it and any since. But that is just my opinion

Final Fantasy VI should be released to the GBA shortly. I believe it came out in Japan recently (or in the very near future). I believe it will come out in the US in March or something. Of course I can't remember exact dates anymore, so feel free to correct me.

I enjoyed Final Fantasy IV as well. I believe that's worth your investment. Final Fantasy I was rather entertaining, especially with a complete lack of storyline and character development. I thought I wouldn't like it much at all (I mostly play games for their storylines and character developments), but I couldn't really seem to put it down. Granted I only played through it once, but I'd say if you liked VI and IV, you should look into I. Unfortunately, you can only get I if you get II with it and II is terrible.... I think I've known a few people who like it, but for the most part everyone agrees that it's bad. Bad gameplay, poor storylines, and boring characters...

And though I haven't played it, I've heard very good things about III. I'd recommend that one to you as well.

I didn't much care for V, but it was mostly the poor translation that threw me off. I believe they retranslated it for the GBA so I'm willing to give it another shot. If you liked the battle system in III (similar to X-2 in that you get to choose your character's class), you'll probably like this one too.

PS.

Final Fantasy VI is AWESOME!

[Luther (#82867)]

Yes, Ann is correct saying VI is awesome. Slap in a new makeover for the game (PS2 at the least.) and you'd be seeing a masterpiece equalling VII. Wishing a true remake for this.

[nauXolo (#69311)]

Hm... I guess I'll do FF6 then.
What US platform is it for? Can I get it for the playstation?

Final Fanstasy is so popular yet I never found it to be anything spectacular. It's a good series, but there are other RPG's out there that are way better IMO. To me the best RPG ever is Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

Anyhow if I had to pick a favorite FF game it would have to be FF6. I just found it to have the best storyline and the best characters. I also like FF9 because it went at a completely different angle. It was unique and I like that. To each their own I guess.

[cranston (#84421)]

I dislike most SMT games because the party members are just cannon fodder with no personalities. The only exception to this was DDS. This is also the reason why I like most FF games. The characters usually have enough personality and background that they have a face and you don't think of them as 'Grunt 1' and 'Grunt 2'.

I've played all the FF games and Tactics or anything near FF.
The ones I love the most would go to FF6 For it's stroyline.FF7 Also for it's stroyline and characters. FFX for it's battle system,storyline and graphics.

I played the earlier FF games that were released on Nintendo and SNES. I don't own any Sony systems I've only played a little here and there of most of the other FF games on friend's systems. I did play FF: Crystal Chronicles when that came out and unlike most I've spoken with I enjoyed it a lot! I'm really looking forward to the sequel on Wii. ^_^ Tactics Advance was also really good and as of last year I got heavly into FFXI. I've seen that they released FFIII for DS, if anybody has it or has played it let me know how it is because I'm thinking of getting it as my next DS game.

[Annûniel (#90354)]

I recently came across this rather hilarious video on YouTube. I thought about posting it in the Random Video thread but I think it'd get more attention here.

Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious!

sorry if im bumping a dead topic (Not too long..)

FF7: First FF game i played, i wasnt a hardcore RPGer back in the day so didnt really play it that much (Kinda young so didnt know much about that stuff) but then i really started it up, and its a great game, great story.

FF8: Loved it after the 2nd chance i gave it, i love the junction system, the draw system, its marvelous imo. great story, great characters.

FF9: not too many people liked this one, but i loved it. AP System was nice (In a way, made me work hard) Some characters lacked (Fat blob who rocks a fork, lol) but all in all, the story in a way waaasss lacking, but in a way i kind of enjoyed it, main character turns out to be something you wouldnt expect, yata yata

FF10: Great game, loved the story, all the characters had their own little part into the story which made it more interesting. All in all great Game.

FF10-2: Loved the Battle's thats about it, i kinda got a "Little" into the story because it made me wonder what happend to Tidus but then again made me not wanna know because the end of the original was perfect to me, but i had to play it, loved the ability to change your jobs, and while in battle as well. All in all, so so in my book.

FF11: Loved it at first, i was a hardcore on and off (Make sense? lol) FF11 player for 3 years. But, the game is too depending on others. Starting at around level 10 (Not mandatory, but possible) You can start Partying to kill monsters to earn Exp. But then that becomes Mandatory that you have to Look For a Party all the time. That becomes time consuming, and sometimes you get people who are just dumb, but thats how it is in almost any online game. Though i did like how the game missions did have somewhat of a story to them. not just a "Here lets go online and just level uP" type game, theres more to it. all in all, good game if you have alot of time on your hands.

FF12: Liked it, Didnt Like it. License's were ok, story lacked too much, battle's were pretty decently fun. all in alll.. not much to say about this one, its fun for a while.

FF-Tactics: Beat it, but didnt like it too too much (Ps Version) Didnt like how you needed JP to learn how to use a potion and stuff, but that wasnt soo soo bad, over all great game with a story to it.

FF-Tactics Advance: Loved it. Great story, loved the choices of jobs, pretty good.

All in all, those are the FF Games that i have played. Ive played 1, 2 and 3 (or 6.. w/e that little mix up was about lol) but didnt beat them. Love the FF Series.

I've played trough 9 and 10, tried 10-2 but something didn't really click in it, so I havn't got past 30 mins of playtime with it (yet).
Just bought XII now, havn't tried it yet gonna wait until I have a vacation or something so I can play it every day for some time =)

I've been wanting to try 7 and 8, but havn't found any working versions for my ps2 yet as they are ps1 games.
Must say I really loved ff9 though very cute, and nr10 was also very good.

[Rioko (#106909)]

Yeah Photle, gotta try 7 and 8 guarantee that you will love them. Finally someone agrees with me that 9 was pretty cute game to play lol.

you can probaly go to any Gamestop and look in the Used Games for Playstation and they should have one or 2 of each, the one near me does. but they are the types of game to keep in a collection (To some) but should be a few. Can also try Gamestop.com or some sort of Online Shop, but if your like me and your parents dont like giving out the credit card info.. then yeah first option.

Happy Gaming ^^

[Photle (#120272)]

yea think I have to aquire them by some means =)
the problem I've had with the other versions I've tried is that it wont recognize my savegame, I did buy a ps1 memory card, but it was an aftermarket card so I think there's something fishy about it, not sure if it was the game or the card that did it =)

and yes indeed nr9 is very cute and a good game alltogether =), played trough it 2-3 times, love the music aswell

[Rioko (#106909)]

It has been confirmed that they are making a new Final Fantasy to add to the Crystal Chronicles for the Wii... now i have to buy a Wii, i totally loved playing it with my 2 other friends on the Gcube... though in those type of multi player gamers im the greedy one of the bunch and have all the good equips

[VincentValentine (#120109)]

Im a deeply rooted final fantasy fan. As you can see...

I've played 7, 8, 10, 10-2, 11, 12. So far, nothing has surpassed 7.

^^...

[inso (#124862)]

My favourite FFgame is FFIX. I do agree that some of the other games has better story, more developed characters etc.. but I think that IX is the game with the biggest heart. I just loved playing it, the atmosphere is so good and the somewhat cuter characters made me enjoy that game more than the others. The overall feeling is what makes me like it so much

I don't really understand why so many people think that final fantasy VII is the best. I do think it's a great game, but not the best. Maybe the story was too dark for me and I didn't really like the characters so much, I had problems finding a favorite character which I usually tend to do pretty quickly. In ffIX I did instead have the problem of liking all of the characters too much^^

[Daizengar (#99576)]

[Veleon (#124559)]

A lot of people enjoyed how the FFVII story was well put together also. There wasn't really any "magic" as to why things happened. I mean there was magic but nothing so riduculously unbelieveable. Most things that happened were driven by science reasoning. i.e.

[inso (#124862)]

FFVII is indeed a great game and having 3d grafics so early may have helped in making it so popular, I don't really know since I played it about 1.5 yrs ago.
The story is really good also and I do think it is the story that -as in all ffgames- makes it so good.

It's just that there are so many good games and it's hard to decide which one is the best or which one I like best, maybe I'm just a little sad because ffIX (my favourite) seems so underrated and isn't as loved as VII.

But it seems that people in this thread loves ffVI as much as VII,, I should really try playing VI since I haven't yet.

[Ch1pPy™ (#106014)]

FF7 is not that great! Geez! Maybe Sephiroth and Cloud has the most bad ass rivalry on the series, but that alone doesn't make FF7 the best ever. Seriously, I know we can excuse the graphics of course, but the storyline isn't even the greatest, like most people say.

[Veleon (#124559)]

The reason why people like FFVII isn't logical. People just tend to pick it as their favorite because when it first came out it was this big deal so everyone liked it then. So becase a huge group of people liked it, then everyone joined the bandwagon a decade later. And the people who are gaming loyalist don't want to "betray" FFVII because it was a big deal then, and holds a special place in their hearts.

FFVII is my favorite, probably because of that reason, but VI/III (Locke and Terra) and VIII were close behind.

If you saw it out, then a store broke the release date. It's not supposed to be out till later this month.

[Mishie (#105444)]

They put little Preview cases up on the shelves, but that's all they are; empty cases with advertisements slapped across them. They're made to look like the real deal, but upon closer inspection, it's quite clear that they're fake.

From my experience, there's always a "Coming Soon!" banner right below them, but I've only bought stuff from 1 GameStop store so.. yeah. :3

Anywho, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings is scheduled to ship November 20th. I don't think I'll buy it right away, but I'll definitely rent it, since a RTS on the DS sounds promising enough~ ^^
