I had the Nintendo Power issue where they interviewed one of the guys involved with this re-make and the first thing they asked was if they'd do more. They dicked WAY around that one. |

Is 12 the one with the guy who lies all the time? That one's all right. |

| Durin | Aye, they did change the bosses around. Bahamut nearly had his way with me, and so did Dr. Lugae, till I figured the really really cheap n easy way o beatin him (afterwhich i hit myself for thinkin of it sooner). Some they just made harder though, like Rubicante. Also, apparently the people who made this don't know how to pronounce some of the characters names. Such as Cecil. Somehow I predict that were gonna see 5, and especially 6, gettin this 3d treatment. Than, maybe, a 7 remake. Oh, and to the one who really liked 12. Mechanics wise (the plot/characters were bad, especially the characters, tho i also dislike the plots of 7 8 and 10 mind you) was the fact that you could make the game play itself for you except for movin around with the gambit system. I'll take menus over autoplay anyday. | |

I got this a couple days ago. I like most of the changes so far. (I for one thought having all the characters playable at the end was pointless because outside of Yang none of them are better than the 5 you get at the end) The cut scenes are pretty interesting and they seem to have fixed a lot of the translation issues. However it really cheesed me off that they took away the enemies in the patch of grass north of Mt. Ordeals that were advanced for the area. You could hang there for a bit and get Cecil, Palom, and Porom to 60th and just coast through the game from there. Apparently they finally got wise to that particular bug. |

| 10,000 Volt Ghost | I never got past Shiva(?) when she spams cure 4. I wasn't high enough level to get reflect but I didn't find out for a year afterwords. | |

| Dimnos | Really? Im finding it easier than I remember it. A lot of the bosses, namely the archfiends, fold before I even feel like the fight has begun. Maybe its just me but I rememebr the evil wall being a bitch to kill before he crushed you or whatever he did. This time he didnt even drop one of my guys before we detroyed him. | |

| Phoenix Gamma | The game's based on the original Japanese difficulty; us stupid Americans/Europeans got an easier mode. Square also changed the boss strategies around to fuck with returning players. | |

| OxBlood | Yeah, I got it yesterday and it´s pretty good so far, the story is presented very nicely, it´s a bit harder than the old version (I only played the US-Version, we never got it here in Europe if I´m not mistaken). Right now I´m grinding for money and some starter levels before attempting Dungeon Number two. Already got Tellah though, he´s a real help. | |

[quote=Phoenix Gamma;572007]Rather that than Menus: The Game VII. quote] Nice. I'm just hoping XIII has a story and charactors worth caring about. Also, has anyone gotten the remake for FF4 as of now? |

Rather that than Menus: The Game VII. I'm glad FFXIII seems to employ what seems to be a souped version of XII's system. |

| 10,000 Volt Ghost | FF12 was more like a SIM game. XII just felt so bland. The only Char I like was Balthier. I used girlboy, ladyface and swordguy. Beyond that I tried to wipe 80 hrs of my life out of my head. | |

I remember...about a year ago I said to myself: Ox, you should finish FF7. I never did the final buttonpress to destroy Seph when I first played it in...1997? because I liked him too much ^^ So I grab my old FF7, play through it, save the world...more or less. And then I think...dude...play through FF8, you never did that either. So I did and I liked it. Then I thought, well, why not finish FF9 while you´re at it...after 15 hours or so I couldn´t stand it no more... I don´t really know why, maybe it´s the story or the battle system or maybe it´s because it runs 20% slower over here (PAL sucked back then...and it still does) but I never felt the need to finish it...then I accidently spoilerd myself while I read something about it and well... Maybe I should try FF12...yeah right. |

FF9 was so busy trying to be old school that it forgot to make anything else about it interesting at all, and in a lot of places it's less of a throwback and more of a copypaste job. This is most apparent in the idiotic stock characters taken almost entirely from 6 and 7, the absolute worst cases being Quina and Amarant, also known as Cait Sith and Vincent Valentine. I remember timrpgland referring to 9 as the "wannabe Final Fantasy," and I'd have to say that synopsis is pretty spot-on. It also felt like Half Life: Final Fantasy edition, in that I was constantly being funneled towards my goal whether I liked it or not, sometimes without the reason for my epic treks being fully explained and me just going along with it because it's the only way to go. That's another thing, there weren't any sidequests to take on, wheras in 7 I literally lost myself in doing shit like getting all the final limit breaks and ultimate weapons, Chocobo breeding, general dungeon crawling, that sort of thing. I admit that I really liked the idea of the plot and the game in general before playing it; 9 could have been great, one of the best Final Fantasies, and I have no idea how the developers fucked it up so badly. The soundtrack also had some pretty good stuff on it, and most or all of the pre rendered backgrounds were works of art. And that's what I have to say about that. |

All the games have their merits, but 4, 6, and the original Tactics are the ones I keep going back to. Plus I suffer through this game, not play it, just like in the old one! SUFFER!  9 cracks me up because it's basically one big throwback and all the people who hate it NEVER have a good reason to justify the hate. |

7 was a big hit due to the PS one being huge at the time, vastly improved graphics for its time and storyline and it was the first "major" RPG to come out. More then likely it will be remade on the PS3. As for Chrono Trigger the only press release on that series i have seen is the remake of that game that will be coming out on the DS. Also the original Star Ocean (the on that was from Super Famicon) will be coming out on the PSP in Oct. as well as Second Story in Apr. Nintendo is also releasing Dragon Warrior 4 on the DS this year too. I wouldnt dout that all the old NES and SNES will be remade onto the DS to get all the older gamers to pick them up. Im still waiting for a decent Earthbound sequal or remake  or playstation to remake Shining Force 2 on the PsP (Slade was the best imo Rat Ninja ftw)

| Phoenix Gamma | FFXII was the best, but FF fans hate it. Then again I'm lukewarm to the franchise anyways. | |

I want to play the FF4 The After: Return of the Moon. So far it's only out in JA though. Be waiting a while for it

| pac-man | 7 is my personal favorite, but nostalgia plays a big part in that as attempts to go back and play it have usually ended around the time I exit Midgar. 8 was emo before emo was "cool." 9 was slow. All had their charms, though. As for the remake of 4, once was enough for that game to me. They need to start thinking about reviving the Chrono series. | |

| executioneer | it was definitely better than 8 :s | |
