That only sets it from completely untolerable to almost bearable.

Hope you like it, though I worry it won't be everything you need. I consider it the better game between it and VIII but that might not translate to the more enjoyable experience for you.
So much on sale... but I own a lot of this already.
Is it worth it for me to pay $5 each for Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII, and IX when I still own the disc versions of them?
Is it worth it for me to play these on my Vita? Hmm.
That Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD for Vita looks tempting, too.
Decisions, decisions.

IMO, the Vita version of FFX|X-2 HD is the best. Portability, suspend/resume, and quick-heal using the touchscreen = so damn good. Plus they look amazing on that OLED screen.
On PS3, it's one big download. X and X-2 are separate downloads on Vita, however - about 3.5 GB each.

It's only worth it if you don't feel like switching between all those discs. That would mean it's only playable on the PS3. Whereas, having it purchased, you can play them on the PS3, Vita, PSP, and possibly PS4 (don't own one yet) whenever you want.
GAF, I need some assistance. What's the consensus on the PS1 ports of older FF games? I grabbed FF 7, 8, and 9 already and bought X|X-2 back when it came out. Would really like my Vita to be my FF machine, but if the ports are rubbish then I'll pass. I'm contemplating the lot of them, really, but I'll list them here for ease of viewing:
Final Fantasy Origins
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy IV: Complete Collection
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VI
Secondly, can someone clearly indicate the key differences between the PSOne Classic version of Final Fantasy Tactics vs. Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions? I'm considering one or the other. I've read that the slowdown is prevalent in WotL and I'm not a fan of sluggish load times in my games if I can help it. :/
And finally, I've never played a game in the Dissidia series before. Where should I start? I saw Dissidia, then Dissidia 012, then Dissidia 012 Duodecim.. Left me confused. I'm assuming that each entry one-ups the previous one, but any sort of information would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Are there any major (or even minor) differences between the Vita and the PS3 version of X/X-2? I want the portability of the Vita but I feel that something epic like an FF game should be played on the big screen so I'm stuck as to which one to get.
Bought X/X-2 remaster for both PS3 and VIta and haven't put more than a few hours into X. 
. I guess I was blinded by my love for those two games that I didn't realize how little time I'd have to play them.
But please, for the love of Jebus, buy Front Mission 3. Game's got 100+ hours worth of quality packed in!

Helpless noob question time!
I haven't played any of these games and have played virtually no RPGs, Japanese or western. With the games on sale, where do I start? Will I be confused, story wise if I were to just jump into say FF IX??? I know that's a lot I'm asking, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Every Final Fantasy has an individual story with it's own characters(well except for direct sequels like X-2 or XIII-2) so you don't have to worry about being lost.
My favorite FF is still VII, so I'd suggest starting there. But you can start anywhere you want.

Every mainline FF is self contained story. You would only be confused if you got a direct sequel. Try any of them, they are all good.

Damn, this whole time I thought the FF games were part of this one, giant, continuing story. This makes it easier to start playing then. Thanks guys.
It's also worse than any game in this sale...
Also when does this sale end? I might have to partake after stopping into Target for some on sale PSN cash.
Only the sequels (Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, X-2, XIII-2, and Lightning Returns) are part of a continuing story. All the mainline games are stand alone.
It's not worse than XIII-2 or Lightning Returns.
Honestly, that doesn't bother me in the least bit. Disc switching isn't a big deal.
Portability, however? That's the thought running across my mind.
War of The Lions has a better translation, new cel-shaded cutscenes, improved graphics, two (?) new classes, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things. The slowdown issue only occurs when casting a spell/summon. It doesn't bother me that much, if at all, but your mileage may vary.
Overall, I find WoTL to be the superior version by far.

I've given my input on the FF's next to the games in the quote.
Now,
Dissida is the first game to the Dissidia series.
Dissidia 012 = Dissidia 012 Duodecim - prequel to the Dissidia game. Playing in order of release is fine. That's my recommendation.
I hope you didn't pull FF IX out of a hat bc it's a great game to start off with. As others have mentioned that each is its own story. Do note that each is unique from each other in various ways. ie: Theme, art style, etc
EDIT:
If you carry your PSP/Vita around with you pretty often then I say it's worth it. I have FFV on my phone and play it any chance I get. Definitely worth the $5!

If only I had a working PS3. This pisses me off so much.
Well that sounds great. War of the Lions it is!
Hmm, Origins, III, and IV Complete Collection seem like the best bets out of those you listed. Will need more information/impressions of V and VI before I take the plunge for those. Thanks! I may grab the first Dissidia and start from there.
Xenogears is already $9.99, come on. How much lower does it have to be?

The lack of a PS3 or the lack of a means to buy the games? If the latter then you could use the PSN web store, if the former then you're SOL (unless you have Vita or PSP).
where did you get those awesome vita wallpapers?
I...already did? You quoted it even!
Awful game. Mad at myself that I spent almost 30 hours playing it with a friend who also thought it was great.
You may want to double check, but I was under the impression that 012 includes a retelling of the original game as well after you beat the 012 story, so it might be worth it just to buy the one.
Doesn't the second Dissidia have the storyline of the first included in it? There's pretty much no point in getting the first game.
Edit: Dammit Baliis! Beaten.

30 hours huh? You secretly love it.
Thanks, I got the backgrounds through a whackload of googling. I've uploaded the handful that I grabbed here: http://imgur.com/LacQ2Sg,QzFl4ZV,n82oItZ,nHb9adS
You'll notice they all have this texture to them, I just overlay something on all the images so they all have a consistent "feel" to them. You can find the source images here: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Fables:_Chocobo_Tales_Wallpapers there are a few others in there that could work great, you just have to resize them.

Does anybody know how big FF X/x-2 is?
Shit no, he had a car and a big ass tv though and we played dozens of other much better games together. I fell asleep on his comfy ass couch a whole bunch during that time and even caught up on my studies a bit. When it was my turn to play (I was the RPG expert of the two of us) I had to grin and bear it.
PSV? 6.6 GB
PSV is 6.6GB, and PS3 is 22.9GB. Even split between the two games.

I actually recommend this lol. After reading up a bit, Dissidia 012 Duodecim is the prequel and a remake of the first game. I didn't get far in Duodecim so I had no idea xp
awesome, thanks for the links

So I can't add funds to my wallet through the account back end or buy from the webstore. I've gone over my cc info and everything is right. What is the problem?!
