Final Fantasy I just inherited a used Playstation and Final Fantasy IX this Thanksgiving... so I've got a lot to be thankful for! I got to watch my friend play Final Fantasy X or whichever the current one is now when she rented a PS2 for a week, but this is MY first experience getting to hold the controls and play! Now I'd like to know... what other versions of this game are out there that I might be able to track down and dig up and get to play on my Playstation?! I started playing Monday night and have over 20 hours played in the game! @-@ I'm trying hard NOT to drop everything else like a hot coal and only obsess! haha! ...err... HELP! Also... anyone know any good sites for looking up stuff like what items in the game do and how things work? I'm having a little trouble with a few things even with the help menu... probably partly because this is ALLL new to me! I got TRAPPED on a chokobo today and didn't know how to get OFF the poor thing to SAVE my game! I was nearly in tears! I pushed ALL the buttons and my guy hopped off and then on again because I didn't walk away to go into the city gate.... ...and I went through this repeatedly.....
First of all a hearty warm hug and a welcome back is in order Fae! And the first thing you do is to creat threads on two of my main obsessions. You, my lady, is Queen to me... for the moment. Now on to business: www.gamefaqs.com has comprehensive guides, hints, cheats and whatever else you need for lots of games, even ones on consoles I bet noone has even heard of. There is also an official strategy guide out there some where. You just have to look a bit for it. To hop off Chocoboes press either circle or square. I really couldnt remember because it's been almost two years since I last played it. There have been 11 total FF games in the franchise that have come out on various consoles over the years, but only 7, 8, and 9 have come out for the Playstation. Tactics, Origins, Crystal Chronicles, Trilogy nonewithstanding. (I may have gotten one or more of those names wrong, but you get the idea.) For what it's worth 8 is my favorite, followed closely by 9. Havent finished 7 yet, and 10 is just an interactive movie in my opinion. I would gladly help you with anything FF and/or game related, provided that someone else doesnt steal my chance first.
Yay! Someone to aid me in my new addiction! :bunny: :whitekitty: And Queen for the moment sounds fun, I'll take it! Thanks for the gamefaq url, I'm wandering the web looking for help as I encountered some ghost thing wanting ore and I couldn't figure how to GIVE it the ore... I finally managed to press the UP button to select the ghost and give the ore... I'm still learning basic BASIC stuff on how to use the controls haha! I haven't found anything to teach me HOW to catch the frogs in the frog catching game... the walkthroughs I've found say stuff like "catch x many frogs and then..." but it doesn't say what buttons to push to CATCH one! haha! If you recommend 8 I may have to try to hunt it down somewhere, I'm liking this game waaay too much... even with the now considered "simple" graphics.
My personal favorite was FF6 for the playstaition followed by 8. Generally to really appreciate 6 you have to have started earlier when there wern't as many expectations. (graphics and such) There are also more than 11 FF games. FF I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, X-2, XI FF Mystic Quest 2 significantly different versions of FF 4 FF Tactics and sum others but yeah theres lots more than 11
Fae you might want to RTFM (Read The efing Manual ). Squaresoft always includes instructions on how to play any of the minigames in their game manuals. There you are, FF4E. I was starting to wonder why you havent posting over here yet. Mystic Quest ya said? I havent played it but FF veterans all agree that if there's one game that ruined the series, that'd be it. FFX is the culprit in my opinion, but who am I to argue with people who have been playing FF since before I was born, huh? Random tidbit of useless info: I'm one of the PS generation. The only other FF I've played besides the PS ones were FF1, and boy was that different.
Well lets see....i started w/ 6 on the snes but i think i like it better on ps. 10 and 10-2 supposedly suck. but yeah lol umm ive only beaten 6 but played or am playin 1,6,7,8
10 wasnt anything like how a FF should be, Square really derailed on that one, and the first moment I saw the trailer where Yuna and her crew were singing like pop-stars I decided that X-2 isnt gonna be for me. Join us, and play 9! It's about the only one on PS that goes back to the traditional FF roots. I love that. Have you ever read "8-bit Theater" FF4E? ALL FF fans should.
No I havent. I seem to only like the even numbered FF A thing about FF that pisses me off: People assume that 3 and 6 are the same game because on the snes they called it 3. In truth 3 has yet to be released here in America. They called it 3 to attract more people since they seemed to be missing that one. Now when I refer to 6 everyone goes 'oh you mean 3?'
I know about that name change thing, but I havent bothered to figure it out yet. So can you list the numbers each FF game got in Japan and what they are in the NA? Like 1(JP) is 1(NA), 7, 8, 9, and 10(JP) are also 7, 8, 9, and 10(NA). See if you can understand me.
I read the manual... now whether I UNDERSTAND it is another thing! For the frog catching game the manual says: "Frog Catching Catch the frogs as they jump onto the banks of the swamp. The size and gender of the frogs vary..." There is nothing that says what buttons to push to catch the frogs. I tried walking right next to a frog and pressing the X button since that seems to be the action button for everything else... but I seemed to have no effect. I'll either figure it out someday when I'm playing and push all the buttons to get the right one... or find a site that says how... for now I've gone on to the second disk of the game and I don't know how to get back to there from where I'm at. The names and numbering for the games will probably always be confusing since so many people won't know about the games in Japan. I get that kind of thing when I'm talking with people about anime too.
Si si. Only 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 10-2 have come out here in the States to the best of my recollection. There's Chronicles and Trilogy I think, and that adds three more previously unreleased FFs to the North American compilation. I just need to figure out which is which and I'm too lazy to research at the moment.
I was almost scared to click... but then I saw it was a link within worldsims forums... so I figured... it should be ok....
ummm i think its 1(JP)=1(NA) 2(JP)=2(NA) 3(JP)=currently untill it officially comes out 6(NA) the real 3 will come out soon. 4(JP)=4(NA) 5(JP)=5(NA) 6(JP)=6(NA) 7(JP)=7(NA) 8(JP)=8(NA) 9(JP)=9(NA) 10(JP)=10(NA) 10-2(JP)=10-2(NA) 11(JP)=11(NA)<----hadn't known before that it was also for pc lol. I only want it so the box can go in my video/computer game box. Im pretty sure those are all right there may even be a 12 out in JP
I'm confused about one thing now... Final Fantasy 6 was really Final Fantasy 3 Japanese... but you also have it in your list as being equivalent to Final Fantasy 6 Japanese? How does that work out? Is it based on both games or did you typo in your list? I FINALLY finished Final Fantasy 1 (from the Origins cd) and it's my FIRST time EVER to finish a console game! Yay!! So now I'm playing FF2 and trying to learn the frustrating way of gaining hit points by taking damage. So far I've gotten killed by various evil flan that gangs up on me when I go too far down a particular pennensula... :(
errr ok lets try again 6(JP)=6(NA) but 3 in (JP) has NOT been released here yet. They had a FF3 for SNES here which is the same as 6. get it?
FF12 is in developement. Other than that I have no further information that you wouldnt find on the net yourself. I'm really looking forward to the FPV mode, because then I'd be able to stare at Ashe alllllll day long with it.
Where does Final Fantasy Tactics fit into all these FF games? We went to a game store today and I was looking through the used Playstation games and I found FF 5, 6, 7, and 8.... I need to save up WAY too much money and go back!!
