i tried to play it again via psn some time ago but it was too easy for my taste.

yes, voice acting is the one department where I foresee massive failure. I don't want them to be voiced.

About FF7's graphics.. I think it's fucking charming ok. I'm not even gonna pussy out like most guys and say "it looks outdated but it's not toooo bad". I think it looks awesome.

8 is the only one of the PS 1 era I never played. So many people dislike that one that I sort of have a burning desire to play it.

9 I remember liking quite a bit. It was "charming" and less hip and serious from 7 from what I remember but I haven't played it in years so I'm going from memory.

I'll eventually get around to it. I always keep an open mind and my tastes often conflict with conventional hardcore gamer group think.

They can do it for the PSP2/DS2. Don't think either of those would be past Wii graphics, and isn't Japan all aggro for portable games?

I don't really care for a direct remake. I like the style of FF7, or at least FF7 back then before the crappy spin-offs changed the style up to swords with sword in them or zipper capes or gackt. I'd totally buy it if they made it 10 hours long, had it end at the Golden Saucer, and used a Grandia-style battle system.

wait, doesn't Square-Enix own the rights to Grandia? fuck them for not doing Grandia 4 on any system.

FF8 is the best PSX FF, easily

FF7 has aged poorly and FF9 was never good to begin with

Ehrgeiz was the real best PS1 final fantasy

FF8 sucks.
FF9 rules and it is the best looking PSX FF.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #69 on:** February 22, 2010, 03:33:26 PM »

I'd personally like a port/remake of FF9 that just upped the resolution/framerate and did away with the ridiculous battle load times. Oh, and made the Auto-Potion effects happen simultaneously if you have it on multiple characters.

I heard Patel is the mastermind behind squallisdead.com

Rumor has it he proved that Aeris in fact, died

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #71 on:** February 22, 2010, 03:38:32 PM »

Arguing about old Final Fantasies on the Internet is completely pointless, but...

I like 8. I like that its setting isn't bog-standard fantasy nonsense. I like its characters. I like that it's one of the first "modern" games in terms of scope and consistency. I like that it was localized and proofread, not just translated. I like its love story and I like its huge-ass goofy scope. The plot is dumb but it's twisty and compelling. The gameplay isn't great but if you FAQ how to get Guardian Forces and abuse status Junctions with 100-draw, you can avoid having to sit through the lengthy summons.

It's the only PSX FF I could ever, EVER imagine myself playing nowadays. For that, alone, it could be worth giving a shot.

Spoony is pretty funny but he needs to stop with his distinguished mentally-challenged skits with Dr. Insano. So annoying and rarely funny. He did a video review of the Ultimate Warrior's comic book too, now that one was gold.

I think most people hate FF8 because they didn't know how to play it and sucked badly at it as a result, probably expecting a reskinned FF7. It was a very different RPG than its peers.

No, I'm gonna stick with my theory that it just overall sucks

yeah, ff8 is just bad.

enjoy drawing your fucking magic and running like an idiot for money.

FF8 was pretty awesome. I was never a fan of FF7, but I don't know if that's because the game sucked or if it's because I was just turned off by the incredibly shoddy translation.

i should be angry about this but since i've never seen a thread about FF that isn't wrong and stupid i'll concede the argument

I liked FF8 a lot, my favorite of the PSX FFs. Still don't think I'd ever replay it, though.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #85 on:** February 22, 2010, 08:45:01 PM »

I so agree with the dislike for FFIX. Such a boring game. The only good thing about it was the Chocobo Hot&Cold minigame.

Himu · « **Reply #86 on:** February 22, 2010, 08:48:46 PM »

i actually liked ff9 more when i replayed it two years ago. the main issue is the battle system (or rather, the slowness of it), but the weapon synthesis, and ap weapon/armor/accessory ability system keeps me coming back.

Ichirou · « **Reply #87 on:** February 22, 2010, 09:27:21 PM »

Wait, IX isn't V, VI, or VIII, hence it's not one of the three best FFs.

Ichirou · « **Reply #88 on:** February 22, 2010, 09:37:01 PM »

I think XIII is probably in the running for worst entry in the main series now.

Himu · « **Reply #89 on:** February 22, 2010, 11:13:13 PM »

I used to not "get" 12. But it finally clicked and it's now in my top five FFs:

FF5, FF6, FF8, FF12, and FF4.

lmao you guys keep arguing about mundane bullshit. The fact is that all 3 PS1 Final Fantasy games are fucking awesome, not equally but still. Poor babies, keep giving each other lame reasons why you think one of those games suck.

i agree that they're all good to some degree.

I love VII, but the beginnings of VIII and IX turned me off. i've tried playing through them both a couple times each

of course, I caught on with FFVII right away...from the Tobal demo to launch day, I was hyped to shit for it. then after I beat VII, which was the first RPG I played in years, I didn't try another until FFX. and after that, I went back and tried the other PS1 games.
