IV is mine!

(I own 3 other versions, but why not!?)

 

[dralla]

damn, you cant buy PSN codes on amazon? I was going to use the $10 credit I got this morning from the amazonlocal deal :[

 

[Beth Cyra]

Is IV worth getting if I have the GBA version (which I never completed)?

I would say no, really depends on if you want to play The After.

 

[Aeana]

How come? I thought I read that (early?) japanese versions had glitches.

The Japanese version has a very beneficial glitch with the junction system. I think it's fun to use it, so that's the version I prefer to play.

 

[disappeared]

I'd pick up VI, VII, and IX for sure...

...wait a minute.

I don't have 300 hours to finish those. I mean I do... but I'd rather not.

You could finish all three of those games at at least 3 times each in 300 hours.

Not the way I play them. My old FFVII and IX saves were well past 100 hours each, maxed everything, secret everything.

Even getting 100 % file on FF VII, how did it take you 100hrs?

Cool! I like 8 and will be picking this up tonight.

 

[gkryhewy]

I have a vita, but no PS3. Is there any way I can buy a PS1 title in anticipation of eventual vita compatibility?

 

[disappeared]

Hell if I know. I was 13-years-old at the time, and that was fourteen years ago.

 

[Ravidrath]

Dammit, I bought FFT PSP last over the weekend. :\

 

[BlazingDarkness]

These sales give me a bad taste in my mouth knowing they've not yet rolled out the Vita compatibility with PS1 Classics

 

[matmanx1]

FF IV CC will be mine! I've been wanting it for awhile but was waiting for a sale. Thanks for the update!

 

[Ondore]

Might pick up 8/9... just bought IV Collection the other week at full price, goddamn it.

Though I must confess, I would've loved for 1 and Crisis Core to be on the list in the FFT:WotL price range.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (PSP) $6.99/$4.89 cheaper than iOS is the real news of the thread. Might buy that too

Isn't it cheaper than the iOS versions at the regular price? It's $10 regular on PSN vs $15.99 (iPhone)/$17.99 (iPad).

 

[Auron_Kale]

Awesome deal for FFIVCC.

I have just enough funds to purchase it without having to get another psn card.

 

[Wario64]

Yup. Non-news

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I already own VI and VII, but I've never played VIII or IX. I'll probably get IX, as I've heard good things, but is VIII worth getting as well? I've heard mixed impressions on the game.

VIII is worth getting if you want to see the pretty graphics and don't mind angst-ridden protagonists everywhere. The combat and story are both weaker than in VII or IX so that could be a dealbreaker. VIII's cinematic sequences are probably as strong as IX but the Nomura designs may not be everyone's cuppa tea.

 

[Link Man]

FFV is only Japan VC though isn't it?

Well, I was talking about FFVI, but yes, FFV is only in Japanese for the SFC/SNES. However, the GBA version outclasses all versions of FFV, so that's really not an issue.

VIII is worth getting if you want to see the pretty graphics and don't mind angst-ridden protagonists everywhere. The combat and story are both weaker than in VII or IX so that could be a dealbreaker. VIII's cinematic sequences are probably as strong as IX but the Nomura designs may not be everyone's cuppa tea.

It is the only FF game with timed hits, though, if you're into that.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

War of Lions get.

My Vita is become an RPG machine

 

[RedBoot]

how's the loading on FF4 collection on a Vita??
I'd jump on it...but I HATE freakin load times...ESPECIALLY ON A CONSOLE WITH AN SD CARD!

I used the data install for the PSP UMD version, and the loading times were pretty much nonexistent. The digital version should be just as fast (it's certainly the case for Dissidia 012).

 

[Gentleman Jack]

It is the only FF game with timed hits, though, if you're into that.

GF Junction was also neat. Neither makes up for the Draw system. Or the GF Boost system.

Didn't say it was terrible, just weaker than the combat systems in VII/IX.

 

[Bladenic]

Really tempted to get FF6. Someone talk me out of it given that it's supposed to be the worst version.

 

[Man God]

Is it possible to go over one hundred hours on FF7?

Breeding chocobos without a guide takes a long time, so it could be that.

Compulsively getting a mastered set of all possible materia for every party member, could be that.

Trying to beat the arcade game that cheats, could be that.

Falling asleep every once in awhile during the middle of disc 2, could be that.

 

[Negator]

PSX version is bad, load times suck.

GBA version is bad, music sucks.

Get it on Virtual Console

 

[Thoraxes]

I guess I should buy 8.

I never could finish it because I disliked it, but maybe 10 years is enough to heal those wounds.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Isn't it cheaper than the iOS versions at the regular price? It's $10 regular on PSN vs $15.99 (iPhone)/$17.99 (iPad).

They charge 16 bucks for this on the iPhone? Wow. Robbery.

 

[ShdwDrake]

They charge 16 bucks for this on the iPhone? Wow. Robbery.

It sold/sells really well too.

 

[branny]

What the heck? I thought I had a digital version of WotL already.

This will be like the fourth or fifth time I've bought some form of FFT over the years. *ignores the other FF games on sale*

Wait, first that Prologus crap and now vanilla Dissidia? Who on earth keeps thinking that anything besides Duodecim matters?

Well I forget about the Materia because I wait for the NC and farm Magic Pots and the Red dot enemies for massive Exp and AP.

 

[AleeN634]

FF IV: Complete is mine! Debating if I should pick up War of the Lions again.

 

[Andrefpvs]

I have a vita, but no PS3. Is there any way I can buy a PS1 title in anticipation of eventual vita compatibility?

Yes, install Media Go.

 

[burgerdog]

What are the chances that Sony doesn't end up making ps1 games compatible with vita? Playing them on my vita is the only reason for buying them so if it doesn't end up happening its just going to be a waste of money.

 

[Flame Lord]

When is the Vita supposed to be able to play PSOne games?

 

[Man God]

Honestly? Pretty much zero. It's going to happen eventually.

Surprised they are dragging their feet though.

 

[B.K.]

When is the Vita supposed to be able to play PSOne games?

Probably never.

 

[Ragingnight]

Well... this just just sold me on a psvita rofl.

Going to get FF4 and FFT(psp). So I only played FF7-13. What else would people recommend since I've never played the older classics. I know ff6 is considered by many the best, but unfortunately its not on sale =/.

 

[Kusagari]

Probably never.

Sony's said they are.

 

[LOCK]

I still think some of those are overpriced. Too bad I already own the ones that I wanted to replay.

 

[Travado]

Bought FF VII, VIII, IX

Spoiler

and Journey

Now I need to buy another PSN card, there are more FF that I want to grab from this sale.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Might get V and VIII

 

[Ran rp]

Thinking about downloading VI for the eventual Vita support.

Are the load times really bad in general or just compared to other versions? If we're talking about 1-2 second menu loading then that won't be a problem with me at all.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Pretty content with just FF4C for now. I want to get FF Origins but not the PS1 versions. I already have 7, 8, and 9.

Here's an example, I think it's a good representative though it's the original PSX version (I think...as opposed to the PSN version)

They try really hard to hide it with the fade ins and outs

That end of battle fade out was hilariously slow. Still, the loading doesn't seem too painful. I tend to play RPGs at a slow pace anyway.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

Really tempted to get FF6. Someone talk me out of it given that it's supposed to be the worst version.

FWIW, I played the PSX version and didn't find it bad at all back when it came out.

 

[scy]

Shit, I may buy them all. I hate myself.

 

[Red Scarlet]

That always sounded really weird to get it to work, plus Ultima to all stats sounds a bit lol.

 

[Zoe]

Any reason to get Dissidia if you already have 012?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Any reason to get Dissidia if you already have 012?

I don't think so. Doesn't 012 include the first Dissidia story or something when you beat the game?
