Yeah, it's called Final Fantasy VI if you're a weeaboo (or if you live in Asia, either or). But yeah...I remember spending close to 50+ hours grinding a small 4x4 patch of forest where rare dinosaurs would spawn for huge xp and gold rewards.

And then I bought a Game Genie, and rendered all my tedious grinding unless in about 30 seconds and one battle. Oh god...Sabin with two Genji Gloves and Bum Rush blitz ability. It's almost as classic as watching Typoon being casted 8 times with W-Summon and a Quadra Magic lol

i agree, Final Fantasy 9 had a great story, each character had their own story and their own character development that tied up all loose ends and if you got the secret ending then you get a little heart warming scene at the end. Final Fantasy 9 also had a great Soundtrack, the Iifa tree music scares the crap out of me everytime i hear it. i think the reason why people didnt take to it as much as they did 7 and 8 is because Square decided to go back to the original formula of fixed classes. not like 7 where anyone could play as your White Mage and anyone can be your damage dealer. i was a little put off by the graphics of FF9 i had never seen so many pixels crammed into one character but it grew on me

I was actually waiting for that fixed classes stuff too, I think the endgame of FFX was pretty much the epitome of what I didn't like, regarding classes. (Everyone ended up the same at the end)

However, the graphics really put me off. Eiko, Vivi, Zidane, Garnet... They all looked like kids. Like, kids kids. Like, how the heck did they go from emo Squall (I liked his design, not the emoness) to kids kids. Like, they could pass for 8-10 year olds, not 17 or however old they were. I found I couldn't relate without thinking about it all the time. I understand the change made between games.

Its another pipe-dream or sorts, where FFIX would be remade with more mature looking characters.

see what didnt put me off too much about Final Fantasy 10 wasnt that all the characters ended up the same but that after Yuna gets her Celestial Weapon its all over, every fight you get into with Yuna gives her a crap load of AP and then you start thinking "hey wouldnt it be cool to take her down Lulu's path" and then you do and now Yuna has double as much Magic points and a huge list of Black Magic Spells and whats this? DOUBLECAST! NOW I CAN DOUBLE CAST ULTIMA! *game over* you get to the point that Aeon Overdrives dont matter anymore cuz Yuna is so strong that a piss weak flick from one of ifrit's puebs deals 99,999 damage

Another lover of ff9, I believe I can be friends with you on this sole fact

FF9 was ok, better than 8 I thought. Did any of you other nerds buy a PocketStation for FF8? That thing was a huge waste of money, well my parents money

I miss being a kid...

yazz · #83 (**permalink**) 07-01-2009, 08:55 AM

god, I was so excited about Saga Frontier 2 being on the Pocketstation....I never ended up getting it

Sony has had a lot of horrible ideas lmao
oh btw Tales of Eternia on the PSP is great....long long storyline, good combat fights, some of them a bit 'too challenging' if you don't grind a bit before hand.

im currently playing Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core, my friend let me borrow his PSP and his copy of crisis core, do you guys have an opinion on this one (without spoilers please)

amphora. · #85 (**permalink**) 07-15-2009, 12:02 PM

My brother loved Crisis Core outside of the fighting system. I don't know if he just couldn't get used to it, it was actually difficult to use, or it was just plain boring, but he mentioned that the storyline more than makes up for it.

yazz · #86 (**permalink**) 07-15-2009, 12:16 PM

FF7:CC was fun, but I liked it for it's immersion, not for the gameplay. Combat is very boring button mashing, very little is involved until later fights (which then, it's relatively involved, but still not much). I kind of wish they would go a little less extreme with combat styles. theres good ways to do action RPG's, and then there's bad ways

had a gf who loved ff9 while i was still into ff8. i ended up buying her a copy of ff9 to keep at my place and started getting into it ( after i finally finished ff8). was decent enuff to play and had a good story, altho.... most final fantasy games have great storylines. there were a few challenging spots in there like the Undead dragons, they kinda tore me up a few times. i was then shown a trick to hitting those with a single phoenix down ( bitch, i hadnt thot of that). and one more question that others may have as well...... where the fuck did Kuya hide his tail the whole time? *shudders*

I would give a graphic and sexual description for that, but im not in the mood really. I think he just tucked it away behind his skirt.

Also, i never finished 8, meant to but never did, ill have to pick it up again. After another run through
of Suikoden 2 of course

Zaracen · #89 (**permalink**) 07-15-2009, 07:06 PM

I never finished 8 either, I got to right outside the last dungeon. I absolutely love FF9 though.

Nagi · #90 (**permalink**) 07-15-2009, 09:40 PM

never finished 8? by all means....... finish it. like most Final Fantasy series, the end movie is as fascinatiing as the opening :P it was good, it tied up all the loose ends that i can remember. gawd, as much as i loved those games i couldnt play them again i dont think... im spoiled by really good animation of todays games.
