I'm starting FFIV for the first time tonight, what are y'all playing? Also I'm playing the USA Snes version on Wii. Is it better to play this or the GBA version?

To my knowledge, SNES versions are usually better due to resolution and audio quality. Which, I imagine both are important.

Not retro but been playing a lot of ps2 since that android emulator came out. Watched carpenter's the thing last night now I'm playing the ps2 game since I've never played it before. It's actually not bad, the squad mechanic works fairly well. Atmosphere is good too

Just finished 6.

Don't really know what to do. Not going to have a lot of time in the up coming weeks cause of Christmas, but I like to play something during the holidays.

I used to play a Zelda game, but I've recently decided that I really don't like the series.

Might play something light, maybe something I've been meaning to play for awhile, like Super Metroid.

I'm guessing you're too young to understand the release clusterfuck that is IV. The US version dumbs everything down and removes a shitload of stuff. The PSX and GBA versions bring that stuff back, but have their own issues. You should find a translation patch for the Japanese rom.

Formerly used PPSSPP for PSP which I loved and worked fantastically, ePSXe for PS1, which I hear isn't the best but I like and Mupen64 for N64 which I have found to be the most compatible/stable of N64 emu.

The first two persona games are dungeon crawlers, no social links. If you like the dungeon crawling aspect of Persona, give the Megami Tensei / Shin Megami Tensei series a try if you want to keep it retro.

persona 1 & 2 are nothing at all like the new persona games, they are straight smt dungeon crawlers, very good ones mind you. there is some theme overlap and you play as high school characters who have personas, but thats where the similarities end

You're wrong. Going out of your way to mention smoking weed is exclusively the domain of teenagers. There's a very good chance that he legally is not allowed to post here. There's a good argument to be made about defending the integrity of this board.

Very solid, I got the xbone version like in my pic. Still trying to break in the d-pad little stiff but I can pull off commands pretty quick on it. Buttons are crisp too, only troublesome one is the right trigger, might be a little loose or something. All in all worth it for $39, even if you aren't into fighters it's a good universal controller.

Damonps2 pro. The developer recommends a SD 835 SoC but from what I've heard from others it's pretty much a requirement, not really a recommendation. I'm playing on an S8 currently and haven't really had too many hiccups except futurama froze on me and xenosaga was really slow. I tried FFX and it seems to run between 50-60 fps consistently on my phone so playable for sure. I don't have a BT controller to try it out with so just on screen controls for now.

I agree, I'd much rather use a controller but I can't find mine. Not so much for precision but it's just annoying seeing the controls on the screen. PS2 is pretty much king of the console rpgs imo, and there's a ton of turned based ones that don't require precision or timing. I enjoyed shadow hearts 1 and 2, ffx, ffxii, phantom brave, disgaea, generation of chaos, front mission 4, smt and persona series, xenosaga series, I don't know man, there's like a million of them

Dragon Quest IV, and I'm about halfway through the final chapter. I'm playing the Android port of the DS remake. They're basically identical, but the Android version has party chat added back in (cut from the DS' English translation.)

There are parts where the game puts you into a series of battles in a row. If you can't figure out a strategy for the following battles and save over your main file you can get stuck. I will say that most people who get stuck are rarely ever really stuck. There is usually a winning set up in most people's parties. That being said if you wanna avoid that headache just save in a second slot when the game asks you to save without returning you to the world map. No biggy.
