Could be the greatest game ever made.
Gaming The Final Fantasy Thread
- Thread starter WeasteDevil
- Start date
Having played a whole plethora of other RPGs since my heady days of Final Fantasy gaming, I'm not actually looking forward to this that much. I think perhaps I find the JRPG format quite tedious, what with all the characters being seventeen years old and having ridiculous hair.

For the PS3 this is going to be a very busy time. GT5, FFXIII, GOWIII, MAG, fecking hell - March!

feck, that's not actually too long! FFXIII, God of War III and GT5 within weeks, can't wait!
Bah thats ages away.
You can always import it.
I would if I could speak Japanese!
Hopefully this and Super SFIV don't overlap because I know thats coming out in 'Spring', I don't want to have to divide my time between the two!

It's looking very nice indeed.
I watched the video of the battle system, looks interesting. I can't wait for this to come out, those graphics are looking ridiculously good.
If the cut scenes are only 720p in order to keep platform parity, I'll be pissed off.
So these are running Full HD cut scenes?
Very tasty. My room is getting done over during the holidays. New HD TV and a PS3 are on top of the list.

I would hope that they are 1080p, yes, but I have a feeling that they will cut them down so that there is parity with the XB360 version.
Thats horseshit!
Not their fault the 360 can't hande that much quality.

I think that they've said that the XB360 version will come on 3 DVDs, so that's 21-22GB. A single layer BD is 25GB. We'll find out soon enough, will they use a single layer disc, or go the full hog and use the dual layer 50GB disc as movies do?
Dual layering could get fairly messy for gamers where care isn't exactly the best.
That said, the game data could easily eclipse 20GB.

It's a BD, scratching isn't a problem. MGS4 was on a dual layer disc, 33GB I think it was in total.
Ahh right...I haven't had much experience with Blu-Rays so I didn't know that one.
I'd plump for a 2-disc release. Would depend on how many cutscenes there are in overall play, in my opinion.

i've said this before and i'll say it again, Final Fantasy VII was the best game ever. It ruined all other final fantasy games, i could play them for 20-30 hours but never cared enough to complete them. VII for me was just perfect. (baring in mind this was actually about 10 years ago...)
If this new one is better than VII i'll buy a PS3 just for it.

I thought VIII was the bees knees, but I'm keen to play VII, going by what people have said to me in the past.
i'm not sure how it would age.. of course VIII was pretty cool but the developments and character development in VII was the best i've seen. I still have discussion about it with a friend (the only friend i have who played and completed it). It also has the best music for a FF game and the best bad guy in Sephiroth.
VII is a fantastic experience and the game that got me into the series, XI is the only one i haven't played out of the main series. But for me VIII had it all and more, i cared more about the characters and the music was fantastic (not as good as VII's though on the whole but some great pieces). It also had that huge wow factor right from the get go. When the fight between Seifer and Squall erupted on my screen i was awestruck.
IX is criminally underated by some, that was also top notch and one of the best systems for learning skills in any of the games. It also has my favourite moment when Zidane has just learned what he is and the music "You're not alone" starts, the music worked so well for that part.
And thus ends my geeky post.

Looks absolutely bloody amazing.
WOW.
WOW.
Na i can see where they are coming from. It was pretty cool but i just didnt get the same feeling from VIII as i did from VII. VII was so apocalyptic whilst VIII was all studenty... Plus i just loved materia, it was awesome.
Burn him!
VII was the first I played, and it was fantastic, it really is a superb game, they all are really when you get down to it which is what makes this series of games so compelling.
VIII was just a better game in my opinion, better story, I liked the main character Squall more than I like Cloud the Seifer/Edea story was great the settings were fantastic, an evolution of the world of VII.
I think as a younger gamer, it's easier to get to grips with VII than it was with VIII and that instant pick up and play feel from such a epic sized game I think is a feeling that doesn't go away and therefore sticks in people's minds more than when comparing it to VIII but a lot of people I know that go back and play them both side by side now prefer VIII.
I could see that in fairness and i was pretty young, 13/14 when i first played VII and it was my first Final Fantasy experience that will live with me forever. I remember taking days of school with fake illness just to play it and my mates would come round and ask me what the hell i was doing with this wierd looking game with a character just apparently blindly running across a landscape with nothing in sight randomely getting into battles with stupid looking foes. Brilliant
I was 10 going on 11 when I first played VII, but we pretty much have the same story there
Memories....
any fan of FFVII is a friend of mine.

I was the same age and did the same as well, i remember mates coming round to play after i'd told them all about it, and they couldn't see the interest in a blocky man running around and having to read! A lot of them were very against games that had a lot of text in it, retards.
i was in 1st or 2nd year at school and even at that age my friedns had no interest in it.
I remember a game from when i was even younger called Vandal Hearts, i must have been 10 or 11 then and it had text and stuff and i loved that game. LOVED IT.

He he he, you lot should have played some of the old text adventures that were quite popular on computers in the early 80s. Some had no graphics at all.
I mean, look at this shit.

I played a few back in the day on my dad's old micro. Quality stuff, just a blank screen with different coloured text and some poor sound effects. What more do you need?
You see a sword on the floor.
1. Examine it
It's a short sword with a carved handle, it looks sharp.
2. Pick it up
You picked up the sword, it felt weighty in your hand. You hear a sound to the left.
Go left
Etc. They did a good piss take of those games in Sam and Max Save the World.

You know i swear i played that at first school, it must have been something else because they didn't have a commodore lying around.
spectrum maybe, games on tape!
That reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics, is it made by Square?
Before Final Fantasy i played Illusion of Time, that was a cracking game.
