/vr/ - Retro Games

What is your favorite retro FF logo?

what did you thought or feel when listening for the first time the prelude?

Sooo...
Final Fantasy thread?

Hey guys, first time posting here really. I don't have much time for gaming unfortunately, but I find myself with time while I'm on the go. I don't like phone games I have come across, I find them rather mindless. I recently learned of the FF games 1-7 and 9 being on iOS with 1-6 and 4-2 as a $70 bundle (I'm pretty late to the party). I have very limited FF experience under my belt, having only played FFIII on the nintendo ds and FFX on the PS2, and was wondering if it was worth getting the set?

Specific questions I had in mind were:

How do these remakes hold to the originals?
Is it worth getting them for my phone rather than PC/other?
Should I play them in order?
Which is your favorite and why?
Are there any I should avoid?

Thanks!

so /vr/, i am still confused after all those years.

Final Fantasy 1 (in US) = Final Fantasy 1 (in JP)
Final Fantasy 2 (in US) = Final Fantasy 4 (in JP)
Final Fantasy 3 (in US) = Final Fantasy 6 (in JP)

is this correct? was Final Fantasy 5 a JP only title? and which games are Final Fantasy 2 & 3 (in JP)? i am afraid i have to be spoonfed because i remember whenever i try to look into it my brain starts to hurt

I've never played a Final Fantasy game.

Where should I start?

>hear so much praise about this
>turns out to be a grindfest
>story for 6 minutes and back to more grinding

So /vr/, I've been meaning to replay the first FF for a while, and I've been wondering what version of the game is best recommended? I first played the Dawn of Souls ver on the GBA, is that OK is another better.

Also whatever Final Fantasy thread I guess. FF7>FF8

Why do people like this shit? Honest question. Turn based, grinding up bullshit RPG sucks balls as a genre. I don't understand. It doesn't test your skills at all, it just fucking sucks. Beating enemies is just a matter of grinding up, leveling and selecting the right attack. What's fun about that? It's not a test of skill in any way.

Lately we've been doing nothing but arguing and bitching over Final Fantasy, I think it's time we show some love for such a great series. Post
