FF Anthology, FF Chronicles, & Xenogears

[Agozer]

In my opinion, you shouldn't pass any Squaresoft (Square-Enix) game...

But if you don't like the game after playing it, that's another story.

i'd actually have agreed wtih you if you said any square game pre psx.

Well, IT IS a matter of taste, isn't it?

 

You're saying that you haven't liked any Square games since they started on the PSX?

I only played Xenogears on my PC (it ran considerably faster than on the PS) and from what I got from playing Chrono Trigger (my favorite) from FF Chronicles on the PS was considerable loading times as compared to the original SNES version. I haven't played the FF's though.

It seems like everyone forgets Final Fantasy V. It's a great game, and I don't really see why it goes mostly ignored.

 

On my copy of FFVI, I couldn't get past Vargas because the Blitz wouldn't work. I had a friend who had beaten it come over and try it, and it wouldn't let him do it, either. I guess my copy is bugged. Oh well.

well i have, but not the over hyped ones.

 

like i LOVED legend of mana

 

but to me games like ff7 were more mainstream than they were hardcore, and they were over hyped.

 

seriously, graphics aside, compare a game like ff7 or ff8 to any ff game that came before it.

The Blitz should work....I forgot the combination....

Alright! Now that the forums are finally back...

 

Here's an update: I was able to get Chronicles and Xenogears a couple of days ago -- wasn't able to get Anthology since it was currently out of stock, but picked up there last copy of Chronicles.

 

I've mainly been playing FFIV, and from playing, I get the impression that the changes were for the better. Basically it is much more difficult from the snes version, and the dialogues have been altered in a way that it flows much better and it is now more understandable; whereas in the snes version, it often didn't make much sense and I believe certain texts have been censored from the original intent of the Japanese version.

 

From what I hear, there are only two FMVs in the entire game, which is dissapointing. (I just hope Anthology will have a bit more.) On a side note, the slowdown is not bad at all; you just encounter it when saving your game -- which is like any PSX game.

 

I haven't started on Chrono Trigger yet, but I heard good things about the extras included in this remake, so I'm looking forward to that. Seems they have some anime-like cut-scenes which judging from the picture, looks great.

 

As for Xenogears, I haven't even opened the package. In fact, as mentioned earlier, I have never had the chance to play this game. I just hope I'll enjoy it as much as those who talk highly of this title.
