FM3 plays like FF Tactics but you can target individual parts on mechs as well as upgrade those parts. It's fun to dual wield machine guns and destroy an enemy mechs legs so he can't move then snipe him with another mech just outside of his attack range.

Sounds interesting. I do like SRPGs. Will check it out, thanks!

I'll get that FF: Tactics remake on PSP. Don't own one but I feel the urge to get a Vita after the holidays.
I own Vagrant Story and have a copy of 12 so maybe I'll get into Ivalice. I should play at least one Final Fantasy.

It's a grid based tactical RPG with mechs where you can capture enemy mechs, gut their parts and use them to customize other mechs or build new ones (you can visually see your mechs change and customize their colors and moves, etc). The setting is a gritty pseudo-cyberpunk future with lots of cool fictional military design and atmosphere. The music and art direction are top-notch. FM3 has a branching story with 2 different paths and both are a pretty good length. I'd personally put it in the top 5 of Square's PSone output. I'm biased of course but it really is good.
Chrono Trigger is great but the SNES/VC/DS versions are better

Dissidia 012 includes the prequel. So get that one.
I played 120 hours and noticed it once. So not very bad?
It had slowdown? Never noticed.
I need to finish Sphere Grinding. Maybe while watching Doctor Who or something.

Are the visuals as drastic as the Digital Foundry screens make it seem to be? Vita vs. PS3.

FF9 bro. Its the best FF easily. Not my favorite though but its pretty spectacular in every department.

No freaking way. It looks fantastic on Vita.

That is good to hear, because honestly the difference according to the comparison tool...damned drastic. PS3 looks much better than Vita if you are going by their shots.

Is Final Fantasy Origins as crap as the other SNES-to-PS1 ports?
I saw that comparison before even touching the god damn game and I was surprised when I started it and it looked not even close to how the DF analysis makes it look.

Looks pretty awful in the comparison, but the game looks fantastic in motion on the Vita. And suspend/resume makes it perfect for portable. Get bored grinding? Turn it off in the middle of a battle and come back to it tomorrow.

I bought FFVIII, but I'm playing on Vita and having issue where the game doesn't recognize when I press X to continue dialogue or make a selection. I thought maybe it was the vita itself but I booted up two other games and had no issues. Anyone who's played FF8 on Vita know what's up?

Just started up IX. Looks fantastic when I play through my small CRT. Having no qualms with the battle speed, either. Beautiful game. Bought VI a few weeks ago for full price and I have no regrets. Loading times were fine, and it's still my favorite out of the entire series.
I'll probably say 'screw it' and finish off the rest of my FF collection on the PS3. Having completed VII and VIII on Steam within the past year, I don't think I'll be running off to play those. I do, however, want V and Origins will be nice since I don't have Dawn of Souls.

I've had that problem before. I think that the problem is that you're accidentally hitting the trackpad on the back of the Vita and it's triggering the shoulder buttons and isn't registering the X button.
As someone who loves CC, don't go into FFIX expecting anything like CC. Where CC is wild and imaginative, FFIX is dull and generic. It might sound a bit too harsh, but I played both games back to back a long time ago. No doubt in my mind that CC left the stronger impression. People aren't kidding when they describe FFIX as a throwback. It's totally trying to be that. If you're sick of that though, FFIX will offer you nothing except Freya and a few good Uematsu tracks.
It's a very disappointing game.

Ugh no. FF9 is one of the best out there. Obviously, it failed to deliver for you, but the game as a whole is without a doubt one of the best in the series. You are right though, it is a throwback which is one of the reasons it is universally loved. I wish we would get a more traditional FF again.

It's a tactical-RPG. You play as Kazuki Takemura
and you are a test pilot for the infamous Wanzers. You have a good friend Ryogo and you team up with him to do all sorts of job related tasks and the plot keeps getting thicker. There's also two campaigns, one after you finish the first. You can customize your Wanzers with all kinds of parts that swap out for battle. The game takes you on a terrific journey. You'll strategically place your units and you'll have to work hard or you'll get crushed. It's mostly towns, you arent moving your guy, you're moving the menu to talk to people, but it flows very well along the way. This is at Square's prime for whoever cares.
You get to pick moves like missiles, guns, punching, etc (depending on how you make your Wanzer). You plan out your attack during battle and you watch as the enemy or you (the player) take off damage from the different Wanzer or other mech's body parts. Like I'll destroy this guy's arm so he can't use his weapon, so he'll have to rely on melee attacks and other stuff like that.
I'll say yes. Dissidia has some issues (mostly the dreadful writing), but it is fun.
I really need to grab Front Mission 3 and maybe the Final Fantasy IV Collection from this. I have everything else, hah.
Thanks a lot!

Sorry if I'm wrong but:

Does it not include X2?
I bought both games day 1 for near full price, so I'd say yes.
Clocked 112 hours on the first game and 30 or 40 hours on the second.
Really fun and addictive games.

I couldn't help myself, I bought FFT: The War of the Lions.
Honestly I'm more excited about the free Dragon's Crown on PS+ but I suppose I'll have to get around to this classic at some point.

Yes, play-asia sold them separately. They're still selling FF X-2 physical
