I never got stuck once. I knew where to go and how to beat people. I only got stuck if you will at this one place where I tried beating the people and it took me about 5 tries because they were sectioned off? if I remember correctly. I believe half my people were on one side of a castle wall and the others were other ther other side and it was a pain to release the draw bridge.

 

The main reason I disliked the game so much was that I spent a few days raising about normal peasant dudes to have really high stats. Then come to find out I never use any of them again because of all the people I gained in my party. I even got Cloud the first time through because of dumb luck. Didn't quite get the point of all the tasks to do where you send like 3 people and when they come back they find treasure and get exp. I mastered a few of the ranks but not every person had every rank mastered. The one I always skipped was the geomancer? The guy who used th elements to hurt people. His attacks were weak and pointless. ALSO the part that irritated the crap out of me was that I didn't know to max the peasant skill where you gain extra ability learning stuff by 2 fold or half. It is probably just me but I absolutely hated the game. Luckily I only borrowed it for a couple of weeks and never bought it. Maybe since I can buy it so cheaply I might pick it up and try again but I still hated that game.

Amazing that a game you hated so much you played for so long...

If I played it only a few days then my dislike would not be true. I would have just been a glimpse into it. I did play it and finished it and tried to take advantage all of what the game offered. I still did not like it.

 

It is kind of like looking at kiwi and saying that you don't like it even though you have never experienved it.

I can respect that. You wanted to try everything, make sure you had an informed judgement before you deemed it sucky. Well, at least you tried it, so you know what you're talking about.

If you havent played the SNES FF games, then GO AHEAD and download them as roms from Internet! Free! Those playstation costs lots of money, so i have never played the ones from VII ad upwards. But the SNES ones i have played is great. I voted for FF5, but number 6/3 is very good too.

 

I agree, I think that VI/III and VII was the best FF games.

What Consoles did the FF games come out to? (besides gameboy)

[SettingShadow]

Nes, Snes (the old ones that is).

[BigTeddyPaul]

The old ones came out on Nes and SNES. You can find most of the ones before 7 on PC through emulators. I tried it but it isn't the same as a nintendo.

 

FF7-9 were on Playstation. Also as a side note you can only get some of the Japanese versions in the Anthologies which came out. For some reason it was never realesed in America but it finally was in Anthologies. These fine people can tell you more.

 

7 and I think 8 also came out for PC. I know 7 did but not too sure about 8.

 

10 came out on PS2.

 

If I remember correctly 11 came out for PS2 in JApan. I do not think for America but I haven't kept up with all the news. I do know that it was internet based and they had massive overlaods from everyone trying to get on.

 

The new ones come out on Game Cube now I THINK. I am really not sure about this one either.

 

I have answered with all I know.

Now i'll clarify. BigTeddyPaul was right on with some of his info. However, just need to make a few slight adjustments.

Final Fantasy XI is out on PS2 in Japan. It requires the hard drive add-on, and a keyboard add-on is recommended. It is not yet out here in the States, though.

 

The new ones will be coming out on the PS2. Whether or not they will also come to the Gamecube remains to be seen. Personally, I think it would be a waste of money to put it on Gamecube (unless they want to throw in a bear, a fat plumber or other cartoonish character to make it accessible to kids), because Nintendo is all about the kids now, and kids don't have the attention span to play an RPG.

I believe I read somewhere that they are making it for Game Cube. If I ever see that again I will post where. SEE I was kind of right and I bow before JA's wisdom.
