Old School - Final Fantasy 1 to 9

**Sanguine** · Oct 20, 07, 07:26 AM

Heya guys,

Recently i'm (again) into the older FF-series. I have played FF6 (favorite!), FF8 (worst!) and FF9 (okay). I still do not really understand FF tactics.

Anyone ever played the old school Final Fantasy's on Playstation 1 ???

FF on playstation 1, good times.

Playing though FFX on the PS2 again actually.

Never really got into tactics though.

Just picked up FF1 for the PSP, anyone play that?

All FF''s on the PS2 were disappointing

**Estacado** · Oct 20, 07, 01:33 PM

FFX-2 was a huge disappointment, but 12 and 10 were the only one's I liked for the PS2.

agreed.

Best FF7. Good others FF10, FF8, FF6 and tactics. Horrible ones that I had trouble finishing because I disliked them very much FFX-2, FF9 (I hate having kid heroes

).

I'm not gonna talk about FF1. 2. 3 because I played them a while back and can't remember anything ^^ except that I had fun, except 3 which was in japanese and didn't understand much...baka...

Nope i agree with Kyatto, FFVIII was the worst... I thought FFIX was alot better.

My favorite FF game would be FFVII followed by FFVI and IX. At least IX was fantasy. I've only just started playing FFVI about 6 months ago, since i never owned a SNES i never had a the chance to play it so i bought FFVI advance and i can see why Kyatto likes it so much. ^_^

The whole FF9 thing is kinda stupid.

I mean Kids in the main Roll.

Anyways it was way to kiddie for me, i did play it to the end.

But i will never agree that it is better then FF8

Finally ^^ my best friend loves the whole kids main roll, atleast I'm not the only one, *bows down infront of X-Chronic*

The old schools were pretty good, I'm suprised people are starting to consider ps1 old school, I remember when people classified them differently...

Overall: Although 6 was my favorite, I have to mention 10...
Besides the battle system which I loved, it was the only FF to effectively immerse me into the story.

I liked 10 to. But its kinda weird that the Dark Aeons are harder then the end boss

I is sad

international version not released in America.

Although it is bad that there wasn't as much in the version I played, on the bright side there was a good 70 to 120 hours of play...
I think it is possible that the extras in the international actually took the focus off of the story and immersiveness...
maybe... Ive never played it nor have I ever seen the extra movie.

All I remember is not being able to get back into my right mind after finishing the game until I saw the good ending to FFX-2 (If you haven't seen it, it basically gives closure. Remember when the aeons saiid "Dreams are forgotten, but Spira wuill not forget its savior." Here the video link:

Monstergamer.net Video YouTube - Final Fantasy X-2 Good Ending

)

The dubbing doesn't match the characters personalities or mouths in the english version of this video... but whatever, at least it gives closure without ruining ffx's epic-ness-isity

FF9 is the best and allways will be. ff7 is a 2nd, then comes 12, then 10, then 8. As for 6, i quite enjoy it but it isnt as good.

In ff9 i just love the unique cities like treno, lindblum, clerya.

same here and the use of the trading cards gives the game a good spice as it gives you an insentive to travel to places your not suppoced to. although i think number 7 is the best with 10 in second and 9 third.

I loved FF 8 and FF7. 9 Was good to. FF3 as well. Those are my 3 Favorites out of 1-9. 10 Was top notch as well. X-2 Sucked.

When you say 3...
You might mean 6 (Yep, 6 was originally released as 3 on snes in the us and europe).
Look it up.

As far as FF goes 9 is simply the very best of the series followed VERY closely by Final Fantasy Tactics on the ps1

FF4 also holds a spot in my heart but all the others were rubbish

**Estacado** · Aug 18, 08, 07:25 PM

I'd say 12 had quite the story. Hopefully XIII is good.
