After a post by Liam2015 about Final Fantasy, I had an internal debate.
I call myself a Final Fantasy fan, but up until that post I had only
finished FF 10, and FF 10-2.
The question arose. Could I really call myself a Final Fantasy fan?
Is it possible that I hadn't paid my dues to the franchise? Was I worthy of that title.
The answer was pretty clear.
So I set out to make amends for my past transgressions.
I diligently played FF 12, after previously giving up on the game due to a poor choice I
made early in. (I moved Balthier to a melee position, don't do this if you play FF 12, It
causes problems almost right off the bat) And after a good 50 or so hours I had FF 12
under my belt and one more game off of the list.
But there was a problem... I didn't have any of the other games.
So my life became about Final Fantasy, all of my free time was spent searching for the
elusive titles I had missed in my past.
In my defense, my introduction to Final Fantasy started with 10, I had played 7 off and on
with a friend one summer, and I liked it, but I was a freshman in college at that time, and
video games were far from a priority then. 10 was the first time I really got into the series.
But i digress.
I found all of the Playstation titles online, except for 7, that was a bit more difficult to
procure. After a hell of a lot of searching and 50 bucks later, I landed a copy from a small
game store in my area. (I refuse to go to Gamestop/EB Games any longer. I hate that
company)
But I neither owned a PSP or a DS, so that was the next step, and after a little running
around and a few dollars here and there, plus all of my Best Buy gift cards that I have been
saving up. I ended up with this..
Thats right a PSP and a DS in the same week, and you want to know the best part.
All of the PS1 games run on my PSP through the PS3. It is one of the coolest things I have
ever seen, here I'll just show you
On the PS3..
And on the PSP...
I will admit it took a few hours to get over the graphical downgrade, but now that I am well
into FF 4 I really don't notice it all that much, and the music is so good that it makes up for
what it lacks visually.
So I will attack these games in the following order:
4 is what I am working on now
then to FF 5 and 6
Then a break for Crisis Core (since it precedes VII)
Then 7,8,9
to the PSP 1,2
and finally finishing up with 3 on the DS.
Well thats my post, you know where I will be. Sorry in advance for my absence from both
Dtoid and XBL. But there are a handful of worlds to save, and well, Shakespeare said it
best.

That ever I was born to set it right!" *Hamlet (I.v.188-189)
Farewell Dtoid'ers. I will think of you often.
I shall return one day, until then..
Good night and good luck.

Isn't remote play from your PS3 to your PSP just the coolest thing ever? Keep in mind bro..we will be able to do that with future Blu Ray movies too.
Dammit, I've been trying to sell my copy my FF7 during FNF for the past 2 or 3 months. OH well, I doubt you would have wanted to buy it from a complete stranger, right?
Also, my copy of FF7 isn't in bad condition (I have the original one in really good condition and the greatest hits version still unopened), but I just really need some moneyz.
VI is the best. you may want to save it for last.
o wait, you've got Chrono Trigger there. just play that last.
Have fun with FF6. FF6 is hands down the best game I've ever played.
and I applaud you, good sir. There are far too many people out there who've only played the 3D FFs. Once you finish all those games and if you enjoy Strategy RPGs I highly recommend FF Tactics if you haven't played it. FFT is an absolutely incredible game.
What the hell is with FF VII copies costing so much these days? It's not like there aren't 10 million copies out there or something. I traded mine off on Goozex for 1000 points.
Wow... what an epic undertaking... I'd say that going into Crisis Core before VII is a bad idea... they've made that game with the thought in mind that you've finished VII
Yeah I did the same, started on FFX and then moved backward, then forward to XII. But shame on you for taking so long!
That's something I should do too, with FF7 first, because I hate that game and I should finish it before having the right to bash it. I probably hate it only because everybody thinks that's the first good RPG or the best FF EVAR when 4 or 6 are better. I also hate the graphics, the battle graphics are awesome(for the time) but wtf are the character models outside battles? Couldn't they use the same models or sprites at least? Bah, don't listen to me, it's not that bad a game if you remove the overhype, also buying the PS version was a smart choice, the PC version is complete shit.
It's too bad that you're playing the PS versions of FF4 and 6. Some really unnecessary text revisions. I love the original versions anyday of the week. I've still got my FF4 copy for the SNES. :P
Well done, lad. It's something I've been wanting to do for awhile as well. I've played 9, 10, 10-2, and 1. I'm almost done with 3. And I have 12 sitting on my shelf.
now that you have a ds you can get FF6 for GBA
also wait for FF4 on ds.
excellent article... I bid you a good journey on your FF Quest! Return to us with the experience and glory of your travels!!!
Speaking of FF Quest... you forgot Mystic Quest XD
lol, good luck. Your gonna need it.
WOW. You told me this is what you got, but having it laid out like that... That's a lot of play time... Grind away soldier.
a...ha..ha ha ha...HAHAHA...MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Also, you're welcome.
