FFVIII was a good mix, but I always thought that FFVI had the perfect mix of futuristic and medieval stuff.

A good example is Figaro Castle. Seems like a normal castle, until the sides combine and it dives into the sand.:thumb:

Ahh how I miss FFVI.:(
Yeah FFVI did a really good job. I also thought FFVII was a very good modern to near future like world, sets it up nicely for the evil corporation vs. rebel group vs. fantasy land villain.

Apparently I'm an Ultima Fan, and Odin.

Sakaguchi's the one who created FF. the reason why its called final fantasy is because it was the last game he made before retirement

Really? I thought Squaresoft was going out of business and FF was the "final game" they were making before going bankrupt. Hmm, I bet Wikipedia has the answer.:thumb:

Various SE franchises pop up here and there in this thread and the threads about other great games like CT/CC, Star Ocean and Dragon Quest never last. You have to admit, in the past months, this thread has gone to the 2nd page and has become stale every once and a while.

I like the current name, but I wouldn't be against it.

We already talk about games like Dragon Quest in here a bit, I guess changing the name could encourage it a bit more.

BTW is the Dragon Quest game announced for the Nintendo Wii a proper sequel?

I like the name of the thread too, but instead of it saying Final Fantasy, maybe change it to Square-Enix or something, Squeenix, heh.

As for DQ, when I first saw the name of it, it kind of put me in a thought of it being like the FF Crystal Chronicles. Not a true sequel but kind of a exclusive spin-off. But hey, you never know. Was there any announcement of a DQ game for PS3 yet?

It's really not hard, just make sure your main party has good materia combos. and good enemy spells like big guardian (is that the name in the english version? the enemy spell which casts barrier, shell and haste onto your whole party)

Sephiroth somehow obliterated the solar system with Supernova twice the first time I fought him. I just went into the northern crater to see what I had to do before going to bed, and didn't realise there were no save points so I kept on going for hours trying to find one. I ended up fighting the 2nd Sephiroth battle with only Vincent left, morphed into his level 4 limit break. 2nd time I spent days doing side-quests, getting all the ultimate weapons, w-summon and omnislash etc. Quadra-magic + KOTR a few times was enough to kill him.

05-11-2006, 07:50 PM

personally, i think the end of VII was easy... except that i lost the first time because i thought it would be sweet to fight with almost all of my characters, so i split them up into 3 parties... forgetting how weak everyone else was. i was angry.

05-12-2006, 05:01 AM

on the shores near gongaga village

there are monsters that look like giant squirts, they're usually in groups of three or alone. manipulate one of them and then cast their big guardian spell on your party. make sure you have enemy skill materia equipped :thumb:

an imba materia combo is final attack+phoenix on your strongest character, you pretty much cannot lose against the regular bosses and enemies with that.

red barchetta

you only really need Enemy Skill to beat Sephiroth. Big Guard, White Wind and Pandora's Box is enough. and maybe a megalixir to heal up after Supernova.

Fact:

75% of time is devoted to watching Supernova when you battle Sephiroth.

However, in the Gold Saucer Prison, there are three monsters that are impervious to all sorts of magic and have an extremely high rate of evasion. They give out very nice items, only those that they possess and nowhere else in the game. But you have to kill them first, their HP is high and all you can do is rubber band X down and wait for 5 hours. It's only in the Japanese version.

When i beat Sephiroth it was all down to shear luck, i literally beat him with only one character still alive (only just) and instead of bringing another character back to life i took a gamble and attacked him.

Yah well if you were looking for a challenge there was always the Arena in the Calmlands.

I hate how RPGs fall into that stupid "lolz go lvl for 5 hrs so u cna fite teh boss" trend, it totally ruins the pacing of the story for me. FFX flowed much better because it didn't rely on this.
You need a certain amount of difficulty to keep battles worth fighting and interesting, FFX did not offer this.

I agree. I think that your characters should be at about the same battle level as the game without having to stop the flow of the game and go and level up(probabaly didnt make sense). I think the leveling up should be used for hidden bosses/sidequests/personal satisfaction.

Liberi Fatali

05-15-2006, 06:59 AM

I sort of like the Star Wars: KOTOR levelling up system where each of your characters levelled up with you. I dislike how many Final Fantasy games force you to level up each character tons, just to keep your whole range of characters at a reasonable level. As FlyingPaul said, the flow of the game is very important.

That said, the Bioware RPG games like KOTOR always seem to neglect the levelling up system somewhat, restricting options and restricting the boundaries.

As someone from Sony said, the PS3 is cheap, considering what you're getting. I found a Blu-ray player not long ago for $1200. If you were charged what it costs to make the console, you'd be paying a lot more than they're asking. I'm still not sure if I'll get one though, there are a few games I'm looking forward to like FFXIII and SH5, but FFXII and Spore should keep me busy for a few months, at least until the price comes down slightly, along with all the other FF games I still need to catch up on.

I'm slightly confused about the 2 different PS3s being released. What's this thing about the cheaper version having no memory card slots and not coming with the Blue Ray doodah? I don't want to pay £410 for the suped up version if it's not worth it.

Also...I have discovered I have no desire to finish FFX, or play FFX-2. Or IX for that matter. All things considered I've realised the series has gotten less interesting since VII. Dirge of Cerberus got a pasting in OPS2M. Still buying it though.

No memory cards means you can't load saved games for PSX/PS2 games though. Blu-ray does have a use with or without HDTV though, you could fit the entire FF series on one blu-ray disc. It'd take a huge game to fill a disc on its own but the space is there for when games need it.

Turns out we Brits might not have to worry about lack of memory card slots, because the version of the PS3 without them might not be getting released here. It's the 60GB, Wi-Fi, Blu Ray version or nothing. Don't get too happy though, because it's costing £425.

If I had the option of FFVII with its PS1 graphics, or with PS3 graphics, I'd go with PS3 graphics in an instant.

I don't want to be stuck in a rut of NES and Megadrive quality graphics. Nor do I want to be stuck in a current generation graphics rut. I want the industry to continually move forward, push itself to provide graphics that can encapulate all our dreams. Look at a game like Okami, its graphics are simply stunning, and can be appreciated like a piece of art. If we said "graphics are gay" back on the snes, games like Okami would never be possible.

I like good graphics, so what? They're not the be all and end all, but the certainly do enhance the experience.

Graphics you connect to the story more than any other part of the game. To be able to put yourself in the place of the character and see what he/she would be seeing is integral to having a feel of what the character is going through. Voices are also very important, especially since they demand a good translation for the game, which was a big problem for FFVII.

Adam Jones is GOD

05-28-2006, 11:21 AM

Game graphics are like song production. You can have an amazing song thats tainted by poor production, though that doesnt take anything away from the song itself, just the way its presented.

The same with games, you can have an amazing game that looks terrible, and it takes away part of the experience, especially in games that rely on atmosphere and realisim setting (RTS, FPS, sports sims.....well a lot of genres lol).

This is why I struggle to play the older FF games as much, nostalgia and the lure of FF counter that for a while though

Happy

I can still play the older FFs and enjoy them but just not as much as the later ones because of the graphics.

DJ Ducksauce

05-28-2006, 12:15 PM

If FFVII was remade looking like AC, I'd buy it and probably enjoy it, but the graphics of the original was one of its best points. It had a cartoony, quaint feel to it that you'd lose with PS3 graphics. It also meant the characters were more individual - you just had a pixelated sprite on the screen meaning you'd have to create most of the personalities yourself, especially since there were no voices. And that also meant they could have a lot more interactive conversations, unlike FFX which has about 3.
Yeah, the good graphics would be weird if they tried to display it the same way as they did in the PS version.

I think they both could be. If VII had graphics like VIII then it'd be fine. But I want them to remake it anyway so they can fix the translations.

I've said this before, VI could be seriously amazing, like best game ever amazing (provided its not already), if it was remade. Course they could screw it all up and lose all the charm of the original, SNES graphics and all.

IF you were cruising the internet through the week of E3, you probably read about SE's hot to trot FFVII tech demo, which was shown during Sony's preshow press conference to help convey the power of the PS3. Unfortunately, you probably also read how Square's president denied that the footage meant a remake of its colossal PS1 role-playing game was in the works. Put away the Kleenex, people; we have it on very, very (notice the double verys) good authority that the company is indeed bringing a visually updated version of FFVII to PS3. Any other details?

8 gets really bad towards the end, it lacks the 'go-back-anywhere' awesomeness due to that time compression

I think it would be good if FF games did a GTA style ending, where you finish the story, but can go back after and do mini quests, etc. It would mean I would complete FF games quicker (instead of taking a break between last part and end boss of months), and it might stop people going in as lvl99 gods

I deleted my FF10 saves today. I'm guessing it'll be a while before that gets played again. I didn't even finish it.

I started to re-play my FF7, 3 hours later I'm on the pillar fighting Reno, but when I win and jump off the pillar on the wire the game freezes :upset:
Theres a local shop that does disk cleaning (it cuts the surface or something crazy to get rid of scratches) and my disk is 9 years old btw, it did pick up a fair amount of scratching, I just hope it works.

Yeah, thats the plan if this cleaning thing doesnt work, the cleaning is costing me just £3 so I figure I might aswell try it before shelling out for a whole new copy.
Its just disk one aswell, the other 2 seem in fine condition, so I'd still feel kinda cheated having 2 fine disks aswell as a new version...I will buy a new one if it comes to it though.

With FF Chronicles? How are the load times? I want to play IV and CT, but VI had such bad load times on Anthology...

It's most likely the same.

I heard CT's was the worst. Might as well just play the original or an emulator.

Don't have a working SNES anymore, and I hate emulators. I heard that VI was the worst though.

I remember when like me, you, ShadowsFallen, FlyingPaul, and various other R&Mers came here all around the same time. Back when there were under 100 pages and barchetta had the high post count. Good times. Then we got like 600 pages in a year, unfortunately a fair amount of that was XI bull****.

This thread is still staying up there, and it goes through cycles, like one day there'll be 2 pages of activity, then it'll fall to the 3rd page after a couple days.

The best discussions for sure are the ones like 'which town would you live in?'. We need more of that kind of question.

I'd probably go for Besaid, cause i could live on the beach, and it seemed pretty easy going.

I already own a villa there :cool:

The campaign for the name of the thread was pretty funny.

I voted Ninja Editors :upset:
good times man. good times.

what was it, 'Ninja Editors HQ featuring Chaos Blade Baseball' :lol:

MAthiAS

06-06-2006, 04:29 PM

Haha, Costa Del Sol would be nice. Icicle Inn also seemed like a cool community, with some good fun in snowboarding. Although I think I'd have to go with Midgar (of course joining Avalanche) or Timber (again being in the resistance).

Haha yes, came in second. Who's the sexy man that came up with it?

I've always liked cities like that.

MrConeman

I'd get lost, because I know I did in the game.

I'd probably live in Kalm, its only a stone throw away from Midgar, and it seems really..calm in there.
And if not Kalm, then definatly Wutai, I really love that culture, not to mention being from there I'd get to do that whole trial thing, that'd be awesome.

Yeah I remember when this thread was started. Haha, go look at the first reply, what a jerk.

I wouldve liked to live in Dollet or Balamb Garden. Theres a bunch of other places I would've liked to live in, too, like Esthar and Besaid, or Fisherman's Horizon. Oh yeah also that place in FF8 where you took an elevator WAY underground and it was in the north icy region.

But I think Dollet or Balamb would be the best places imo.:thumb:

Lionheart1827

Ah, FH would be awesome too. So chill.

I think I've come to the conclusion that FF8 had probably the best cities/towns/locales in all of the FF's so far.

Midgar was pretty crazy, but you didnt even get to explore it.:angry:

Well here goes folks, just got my FF7 disk cleaned (its actually amazing what they did, they cut the surface in some machine and all of the scratches get wiped away)
About to go fight Reno on the pillar to see if the next cutscene has been fixed.
*runs away*

EDIT: it worked :) :) :)

I <3 technology.
I find it ironic however, that I'm so happy at all these people being crushed by a plate section.

ah the good ol days when I used to get like 30 posts per day. Remeber when we had an FF hurt and heal? A lot of back stabbing and betrayal between the FFVII character fanboys and FFVI character fanboys.

I would probabaly live in fishermans horizon. Just chill out and fish all day. :cool:
