no it doesn't it takes 2, I only use my ps2 to play PS1 games because MY ps1 drive is too old now and needs taken apart and cleaned out. The load time on the PS2 is 2 seconds though its a long time to stare at a black screen but its not 5 seconds lol. Its one one thousand two one thousand boom menu open.

Erm, I own it, too. And several PlayStation models. And several PlayStation 2s. And one PlayStation 3. Not to mention the load times are just as bad on the PSN ISO of Chrono Trigger on the PS3 despite the fact that there's no disc to load from.

And I don't see what Digimon World has to do with any of this.

...alright. Chrono Trigger does, though. Put it in and time it yourself. Like I said, it gets reduced to about five if you set disc speed to "fast" but in no way does it ever reach as low as two seconds on any model of any PlayStation ever.

Because all the cool internet celebs hate it and people just parrot thier opinions. I honestly enjoyed VIII much more on my second playthrough, everything just seemed to click together and I had many "A-HA!" moments that really improved the game in my eyes. It took Ultimecia from being my least favourite FF villian to being in my top five.

In keeping with this I'd have to say the Origins remake of the original was nice. Even without easymode it felt soo much easier just by not having to deal with "Ineffective" attacks or magic.
I haven't been able to put myself through FF2 yet. Is it worth it, or should I remain ignorant?

Ultimecia is Rinoa, that's why.

DUN DUN DUUUN!

Just kidding. At least my understanding is she scanned Squall's mind for what he considered the strongest thing, drew it from him like a spell or summon, then preverted it to create an ultimate adversary for him.

Kinda like the Stay-Puff Marshmellow Man at the end of ghost busters.

Chrono trigger was amazing. Only problem is, I find it annoying when the main character in a rpg doesn't have dialogue. Doesn't indulge me into their character or who they are. But this game managed to be amazing and give me some feels with out him saying a word.

Like I said, the PS3 has an emulator that more or less functions exactly like the PS2 when the disc speed is set to "fast", where it reduces the menu load time to about five seconds. Without it it's still about seven on the PlayStation 1 and PS2 (Without changing the disc speed, of course).

Trust me, it adds up. I've beaten the PlayStation version I don't know how many times only because it was the only way to play Chrono Trigger on my television. I can still go back to it just fine, but it's jarring playing the Super Nintendo version and PSX versions back to back. I remember beating the SNES version and then going back to my original file on the PSX from 2002 and wondering how I ever put up with it. Ignorance is bliss.

TDogg Fri Dec 13 02:25:10 2013 No.1268840

IMO

7: Some mechanics can feel dated (not a problem for me I enjoy it), the graphics can be somewhat irritating. The characters, plot, music, sidequests and boss fights are unforgettable and iconic. The game is gold in my opinion

8: The junction system is confusing at first but once you get it it can be fun. Sidequests are cool, story is pretty dumb but still badass music and overall environment. 8 gets a lot of hate but I really enjoy it.

9: Amazing game, great atmosphere and world. Story is pretty much standard fantasy with a few cool twists.

I'd go with 7, though I think these are the 3 best games in the franchise play them all

IV

At the time, the Playstation had the definitive English version of Final Fantasy IV. The SNES version of the game westerners got was horribly butchered with a terrible translation.

The Playstation had a great translation and was as close to the original as it gets without playing it on the Super Famicom.

My fav is FF II, US/SNES version. FF III US/SNES comes in close second.

Everything after that just feels like Square is trying to recapture the essence of these two games, albiet with differing storylines and graphics. I'm not against evolving the core of the series, but neither would I be against finding out whatever happened to Golbez and the Lunarians, or maybe furthering Terra's story with something generational.

That's Square ruining your childhood dreams by porting games to Android in one of the ugliest ways possible.

Problem is that the casuals loved what they did to V. How they added in these new "HD" graphics and an achievement system. So VI was obviously next on their list.

I've never played any FF game, except for a few minutes of the first one a few years ago, but I dropped it for some reason I can't remember.
Recently my friend gave me his ps2 and a buttload of games, amongst them FF VII, VIII, IX, X, X-2, XII
Which one should I start with, to see if the series is something for me? Or should I start with an earlier version to understand the story?

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 12:26:00 2013 No.1269563 >>1269552 Most people got into FF with FFVII. I'd probably start with that.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 12:36:00 2013 No.1269592 Midgard part of ff 7 was truly awesome.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 12:36:30 2013 No.1269590 >>1269552 Start with seven. Its the one that got the most people hooked on the franchise.

This has been my recommendation for people like you for almost a decade now:

Start with the SNES version of FFIV and play FFVI and FFV next in that order.
Now if you liked FFIV the most play FFIX next.
Now if you liked FFVI the most play FFVII next.
Now if you liked FFV the most play FFVIII next.
Still want more? Play through the other two games mentioned and FFX. You have now seen where the series reputation came from and what was so good in it.

Most people suggest starting with their favorite FF or the one they started out with, mine is an attempt to make rational suggestion that both ignores my own personal opinions and aims to give a best possible experience from the whole series.

After playing 9, I don't understand why people put it over 7. It's a good game, but the scenario/sidequests are really unmemorable by comparison.
At the end of the game in 7, there's so much stuff you can do like fight the Weapons, breed chocobos, play in the golden saucer, etc. In 9 all it seems I can do is play Chocobo hot and cold over and over.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 16:15:14 2013 No.1269979 >>1269609 If you're going to judge them purely by sidequests, VIII has them both beat.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 16:24:00 2013 No.1269987 The first one always leaves the best impression on you. VIII is grVIII

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 16:42:59 2013 No.1270038 >>1270029 Apart from the fact that it takes place in Ivalice, a world that appears in a bunch of other Final Fantasy games. Not to mention the fact that Cloud is a playable character.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 16:45:29 2013 No.1270047 >>1270038 Ivalice appearing in a main-series Final Fantasy game ended in director resigning. Cloud is an easter egg. Or is Ehrgeiz a Final Fantasy, too?

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 16:48:29 2013 No.1270053 >>1270047 Ehrgeiz was a better Final Fantasy fighting game than Dissidia.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 16:48:59 2013 No.1270056 >>1269979 With what, Triple Triad? That game was awful.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 16:51:30 2013 No.1270062 >>1269979 Actually, no JRPG has anything on the Gold Saucer, period. Period. I'm not egaggerating for effect, I seriously mean it: Gold Saucer is THE best JRPG minigame collection ever, bar none.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 16:52:59 2013 No.1270064 >>1270053 But Dissidia is the best 3D fighting game ever made.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 16:53:29 2013 No.1270065 >>1270053 That's not true. Dissidia were silly, but Ehrgeiz was even sillier. It was just a bastardization of Tobal with Kuraudo-kun and Sefirosu-sama in it. Not even the ramen ending could save it, though it almost did.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 17:05:59 2013 No.1270085 They were all okay. The older FF games were a bit better but for fuck's sake, you can't really go wrong with any of them. I enjoyed IX the most myself, but went through VII and about half of VIII (never got to finish) and good times were had.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 13 17:07:29 2013 No.1270091 >>1270056 I'm pretty sure that by side-quests he meant stuff like finding the underwater research facility, finding the DoomTrain summon or beating Omega Weapon. In other words Mini-games =/= side.quests.
