I brought my psp for all these square enix spinoffs I'm waiting for the next kingdom hearts, lol.

Haha, I heard the FFX-2 required to playthroughs to get 100% ending. I watched it too, but don't really get it since I haven't played it at all. Yuna runs like a **** (from what I remember) I'm glad Lightning runs properly in FFXIII |D

....if I remember correctly it only requires one.
Dude....I need a psp like yesterday I'll take donations
.......hmm, not many people have played the FFs apparently, maybe I need to ask about Silent Hill....

Requires one what? sorry you've lost me there...

I figured you type-oed the two...but anyway, FFX-2 only needs one playthrough to get 100% if I remember correctly. There's one part where you have to pick a side between two different sides and if you pick one you can't get 100%, I think... :/ You have to choose the right one for it, but I may be mistaken.

For me the best one is FF X, I've played but haven't finished the rest, X was the only one that was able to hold my interest from beginning to end.

[delirium]

I've played Final Fantasy 1, 6, 10, and 12. I don't remember much of FF1 (as it was for the NES and I was maybe 7 or 8 when I played it). FF6 was good, but I hacked to get to the final boss. The final boss battle for FF6 was epic. FF10 is my favorite of the ones I've played. The soundtrack was really good too. FF12 was fun, but as illlaymedown mentioned, the characters weren't really developed.

I missed out on FF7, 8, and 9. I'm not sure if it's worth it to go back to them. Most people say that FF7 is the best of the series. But after having a major plot point spoiled for me (something to do with Aeris), I haven't really wanted to play it.

[Logan X]

wow, so many FF X fans. I hated that one. I think it's the worse in the series...well, it wasn't as bad as Final Fantasy Mystic quest or FFX-2, though.

I hope i'm not the only one who wanted to kill Wakka with a shotgun, ya?

[Rezin]

I liked FFX. It's the first one I've ever played so the outdated graphics of the other games preceding it are a major turn off for me. I enjoyed FF8 a bit. Though I'm kind of tired of people saying how everything beyond FF9 was garbage or something like that. I feel very hard pressed not to say FF7 sucks and cloud sucked, and aerith sucked, and I don't know why it's so raved about in the first place. I tried it, didn't like it, though I think that's mainly because I didn't want to.

I disliked 12, because of the strange combat system, but here's hoping that 13 will be better.

What's wrong with FFX? Ok, Tidus whined quite a bit, but it kinda lent to how sad the game was and it pulled on the heart strings by the end. The graphics were gorgeous, the story was well thought out and tied together...granted, VIII's better, but still :P
Oh, and Wakka's voice was kinda annoying ya xD I didn't use him much as a character. I mainly used Yuna, Auron, and Rikku especially after I got their ultimate weapons I'd have used Lulu more, but screw dodging 200 consecutive lightning bolts

[Meee]

Voice acting was irritating (mostly the weird unnatural pace), but FFX was alright. I never finished it though since some asshat completely ruined the plot for me, and i got distracted by something else... probably some rubbish MMO.

Hah, i did that. I can't remember what i did it for but i can remember doing it lol. I was just thinking wtf is wrong with these developers? Why the hell would you put that in a game? >_>

FF VII was the one that brought Final Fantasy to the masses, probably for many it was their first JRPG, and so it likely holds a sentimental value for them.

[Judi]

FFVII was the first final fantasy to come into Australia, lol.

I could never do the lightning dodging for Lulu's ultimate weapon, I can't dodge more than 5 XD I think I got them all except 2. I'm also missing Kimahri's.

[illlaymedown]

Yeah, I think mainly VII is loved for it's nostalgia, but it is still a pretty good game...would be even better if they'd make all the older ones over for the new gen consoles How I'd love to see FFVIII on the ps3....a girl can dream *sigh* It sucks that they will do all sorts of stuff with VII like Crisis Core and Advent Children, but they leave VIII sitting in the dust

I think I got up to 12 lightning bolts and then I was like "this is extremely boring" and went off in search of monsters...I also didn't get Wakka's cus I hate Blitzball with a firey passion...can't remember if I got Kimahri's, but I do know I put a good 200 hours into that game. I got all the monsters and fought Nemesis...he's tricky to beat but once you figure out the right way, pretty easy.

[Logan X]

I loved Final Fantasy VIII. The junction system was very fun. The only thing i didn't like was how long the GF animation was, but to tell the truth i never used them much in battle anyway.

They looked great, though. Summoning Bahamut and seeing Odin/Gilgamesh enter the battlefield instead of your party was very cool.

I don't know...I just didn't like the game at all. The only interesting characters were Auron and Kimahri. The graphics were pretty for sure, but it takes more than that to impress me.
The game wasn't for me, i guess. I did play through and finish it, though.

They were long cus of the boost....boosting would have been impossible otherwise, but some people didn't know you could boost. I was playing it and my ex was watching me and I boosted my GF and he was like "what is that!?" and I told him it was the boost and he just thought boosting was automatic, not manual.

[Cait Sith]

FF7 just ahead of FF9 for me, hence the username. Both those games had great characters all round and also some of Uematsu's best music. If XIII is anywhere near as good as those two then i will be very pleased.

I remember having a controller with a turbo button(on/off thing) I used it for the summons. I just had to be careful to not go over 99, or was it 100?
I can't remember.

Urmm...not sure what you're talking about :/ The boost number goes up to 250 is I remember correctly and you hold the 'select' button while rapidly pressing the 'O' I think...when it fades a little and an 'X' appears over it you stop pressing it til the 'X' goes away or the number will drop all the way back to the beginning. Eden makes it easy to get the full 250, because of the length of the summon. I think the number starts at either 70 or 90...

final fantasy X


i felt like I grew up with the characters. never felt that way before in a game

oh, i didn't remember it went up to 250. I haven't played the game in years But yeah, i had a turbo controller to make the boosts go faster.

I have the game on emulator. I guess i should play it again one of these days.

Final Fantasy 8 has always been my favorite in the series.
