Final Fantasy General Discussion Thread

Final Fantasy XII has the best battle hunt mini game compared to what XIII had to offer. In XIII, you're coerced to finish the battles within a regulation in order to get a perfect ranking (That's IF you're playing for trophies, which I don't mind because you're completing the game 100%). There's so much to walk through just to get through those battles.

Final Fantasy XIII-2, reminds me of X. If you're doing things properly and you're intrigued about the aspects of the game. You'll just dwell of what it has to offer. They seem to be far-fetch but its not because the SideQuests in XIII-2 are actually connected to the story.

Y'know, as much I love Final Fantasy. No matter what the problem was. I always found a way to enjoy it. I'm incredulous seeing at some of these posts...

You're in disbelief that some people don't like every single Final Fantasy game?

I don't think I've ever had a bad FF experience in the main line series. Maybe IX, not sure. Need to give it another shot.

Out of the main entries, I've completed VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, and XIII.

I love VII, X, and XII. I think IX was very good. I didn't like VIII or XIII.

I have VI on PSN and I can't really get into it. It's just too outdated for me.

**Sir_Scud** · 02-12-2013

For me it goes like this:

VII, VI, XII, and IX are my favorites. X has been damn good, but I haven't beaten it so I won't rate it. I didn't like II or VIII. The rest are pretty solid. I'll reserve judgment on XIII for when I replay it.

No, I'm in disbelief that some can't complete certain Final Fantasy games.

Didn't you just posted that you haven't finished the Battle Hunts on FFXII? So you haven't technically completed it.

I have all of the main entry games except for the online games; XI and XIV.

Mainly, I have enjoyed IV, VI, VIII, IX, X. Then I, XIII, XII. Haven't started on II, V and haven't finished VI, III (DS).

User SkyBladeCloud, along with other dedicated fans, started a fan-driven mission to bring Final Fantasy Type-0, an acclaimed title in Japan, to English-speaking fans.

Fans awaiting the Final Fantasy title have been teased with great review scores and reports for it, but Square-Enix has been topsy turvy in the possibility of an official localization effort. In desperation, the fans are pushing to do what SE apparently won't. Posted on Dec. 30 of last year, SkyBladeCloud revealed the ability to manipulate the game code in order to rewrite the subtitle system for SE's handheld title, which dabbles with great detail into the world of rom editing and hacking. He (assumed) goes through the process of what he has to do in order to recreate the game with English subtitles, and the full details of his work, as well as the feedback and collaborative efforts of his localizing compatriots, can be found here in their forum post.

Current progress, and even some rom-menu manipulation, on the fan-based localization can be seen on SkyBladeCloud's Youtube page. Even though we here at PSU do not condone the manipulation of game consoles and the code for their games, it's hard not to appreciate an effort to bring a beloved game to as many fans as possible.

via PSU.

I wonder how Square Enix will respond.

This is just like the kids that's making the ff7 remake. Listen to your fans or they'll take action. Also, this should let Square know that people really want It. They've really lost connection with their fans.

**Sufi** · 02-12-2013

They're just being douchebags about FF7 because this way they can sell all the spin-offs.

Keep that dick hard you know what i mean.

Well, you already know my opinion on a remake but which one are you talking about? Obviously it's more ambitious than a localization.

You need to jump on the FF7 bandwagon

Well, I'm talking about both of them to be honest. If people go out of their way to localize/remake a game then that should be a sign. Wouldn't you agree?

**Blacksite** · 02-12-2013

No, I mean you mention there are fans remaking Final Fantasy VII. Or did I read that wrong? I'm not convinced its possible.

Oh. I see what you mean. It was on PSU. There was some kids that started working on the game. I think they were just making the whole game but It was just going to be you watching the whole game instead of being playable. I'll try to find it for you.

I know what you're talking about. I thought you meant an actual game, not LittleBigPlanet.

I was talking about this one.

Oh... That looks so awkward though. =P

Yeah, I know.

I was just hoping that Square would be inspired and make an actual game.

They can't make HD towns.

Pretty damn good for a fan project.

On topic. I'll import Type 0 and buy an only fat PSP to hack if that's the only way to play Type 0

Actually all Final Fantasy games up until FF XII were broken for the PAL version. FF XI was the first FF with a 60hz mode.
Even the (S)NES games had PAL slowdown.

I mean, one of the reasons I like Final Fantasy IX is because it rewards you for doing stuff that you normally like to do in JRPGs - buying new equipment in a new town boosts certain stats. Or how in Final Fantasy X, the sphere grid has you leveling up to get stronger and learn different spells and tricks.

It just doesn't seem as fun in Final Fantasy VIII. Maybe I'll get used to it but I'm really just playing the game for the story right now.

The best thing to do in FF8 is once you get a ship go to some high lvl places, cross your fingers, and go for that high lvl magic. There is a guide somewhere online telling you were to go. Makes game super easy because that junction system along with draw is bs. Now I recall why I used a gameshark to get unlimited magic haha.

**Peter von Frosta** · 02-12-2013

Quick question: Does the FF XII International Zodiac Version have english text and item names?

**Sufi** · 02-12-2013

This *** game looks better than FFXIII lol. Hint: SE should just start releasing games on PSN and not worry about big budgets.

**upmagic** · 02-12-2013

Nothing unusual here, happens with tons of Japanese titles. You pirate the fansubbed versions.

And FFVII remake talk has always been delusional. Square isn't doing it because they aren't dumb.

FFXIII-2 is not enjoyable. Therefore I don't want to play it anymore. I'm not incapable of finishing it.

I completed the main stories. I'm not going to do every single thing in the game. I play Final Fantasy for their stories, which is why I replayed FFX 12-15 times and was never interested in the Battle Arena.
