Visual boy advance is love. You get the extra stuff as well.I bought Super Famicom copies of 4/5/6 years back, but sold them
The cinematics don't really add much, and the PS1 loading times are notoriously long, but still, it's FF6, what's not to love?
(Psst, just download Snes9x & some ROMs. It's the best experience you can get).

Didn't the VBA versions have slightly different OST MIDI's? I seem to remember them being either a little bit less (or a little bit more) advanced.
I use superspeed. Whenever I play and want sound I just find the music on youtube/spotify or someplace else.
The loading times never bothered me. Except perhaps during excessive Veldt soft-resetting (damn my OCD in trying to get every attackI bought Super Famicom copies of 4/5/6 years back, but sold them

). I would pay good money to play 4, 5 and 6 on my Switch though, that'd be a dream combination!I use superspeed. Whenever I play and want sound I just find the music on youtube/spotify or someplace else.
Fair play. Blasphemous, but fair play!

Especially as it'd be proper VI & not the mobile port.The amount of times i run through the final fantasy games just every year makes superspeed a needed function to get the grind going (don't want to change values and cheat myself to the level I enjoy grinding to, just shorten it down).Fair play. Blasphemous, but fair play!
And honestly, when I play FF9 for example I have rose of may go for most of the time I play anyways.
I really liked Kuja I thought the love story in 9 wasn't great at all though.
I think Ardyn from FF15 is my third favourite villain outside of Kefka and Sephiroth. 15 is nowhere near my favourite but I thought at least they gave us a good bad guy this time. Great backstory.

I've seen Advent Children. It is decent, despite almost bankrupting Square, and consequently pushing them to merge with Enex (which among other things meant that Sakaguchi and Uematsu left soon).
That wasn't Advent Children.
It was Final Fantasy: Spirits within.
Ah, you're right. I've seen the one with Cloud and co.
I thought Kuja had a cool theme at least. Quite memorable.I really liked Kuja

I was just thinking about which of the PS1 games had the best discs. Disc 1 on FF9 and FF7 are so so good. FF9's is so good at bringing up that feel of adventure and introduces the characters really well. And Midgar in FF7 is an outstanding start to the game, and then you step out and realise there's an even bigger world out there.
FF7 discs win just for the ‘how do I insert both disks’ troll threads.
I actually liked Spirits Within. The CGI was excellent at the time and I'm a big fan of sci-fi anyway. Plot and characters were a bit light and I can totally see why it failed. I'm not sure what to think about Advent Children. It felt like unnecessary fan service. Pretty to look at though and it gave us a high resolution, bad-ass Tifa so it's all good.
Advent's story was a bit whatever and unnecessary, but fanservice and epic fight scenes so top marks.
FF8's Disc One is absolute brilliance, also it's still at the point where it mostly makes sense.
It's almost impressive how much they extended those load times for a 2d snes game.I bought Super Famicom copies of 4/5/6 years back, but sold them

Not on par with Smackdown 2 for loading, but they gave it a good shot.
Definitely need to play 6 again, haven't played it in an age. Might do that once I'm done with 9.
I'd probably agree if the cast of characters weren't so terrible & the draw system wasn't there
So basically you'd like it if it wasn't FF VIII.I'd probably agree if the cast of characters weren't so terrible & the draw system wasn't there
(I liked VIII by the way, even if it was fecking weird)I didn't mind them, mostly, just Squall, ehhhh.I'd probably agree if the cast of characters weren't so terrible & the draw system wasn't there
I kinda liked Draw, but there should have been a more powerful version to unlock that drew loads of spells later on.
So basically you'd like it if it wasn't FF VIII.
Basically
Aye that would've fixed it.
FF9 Disc 3 is the ultimate for me
Increasing the magic stat increased the amount of magic you drew.
Bunch of fecking nerds.
Anyway VI and IX are the best and anyone who disagrees is stupid.

The real crime is VI is only 5th in the poll. That's all kinds of wrong. Oh and someone's favourite FF was XIII?!
Can we hound @Aldo out of this thread for giving FFXIII it's one and only vote?
X is a classic and I’m not the only one who voted for it.
I'm kidding
Kinda. It's status as one of the highest rated JRPGs of all time comes into serious question when its reviewed in-depth & objectively, but it's still one hell of a fan favourite, so hey, what do reviews & critical thinking REALLY matter at the end of the day? If you love it, you love it.Squall is as annoying as ever though.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.The real crime is VI is only 5th in the poll. That's all kinds of wrong. Oh and someone's favourite FF was XIII?!
FF8 is my personal favorite, but I voted for FF6 because it fecking deserves to be at the top.
Very true.
Btw, after the beginning, I am not liking that much The Lost Odyssey. I am at the end of the first disc and so far it has been more like Telltale meets Final Fantasy rather than a FF game. There are never ending cutscenes and talking but not many fights.Very true.
Does it get more interesting soon? I don't mind games with heavy story, but here seems that there is only story and nothing else.
And Zell... And Seifer...
Been years since I played it, I think it gets more busy, but it is quite slow at best, especially if you take the time for all the 1000 years of dreams.
I can't remember it being a drag though, I happily enjoyed most of my way through, outside of the funeral, before and after. That section went forever.
I like Zell, but I often have an affinity with dopey goofballs.
The funeral is probably the worst thing to have ever happened in gaming. It took forever, was boring and was surprisingly hard (in a couple of cases it took me a few minutes to light the torch, it needed millimetric precision).
Brutally sad, playing through it.
The soundtrack of FF8 basically built around my childhood and a bunch of memories I have I can think of a track that could associate with it. It was one of the easiest games to master but the card game and characters were brilliant IMO.
