Yes, and in no way was it worth it. It almost made me hate the game.
I've since played it again the way it was supposed to be played and my wounds have healed.
yeah, i need to fiddle with the settings, i thought i had the aspect ratio right...

I've only beaten one FF.
I'm thinking of replaying FF7 or 9. FF7 mostly because an LP on SomethingAwful got me interested in going through the game again and FF9 because I never actually played through it a second time. But I have no idea how much the ATB-Queue in 9 will piss me off.
Or I could just keep going through XII International.

Replaying FF6 right now, got everyone back but Gogo.
Wish I could replace the music with this

Need to replay FF9 but the thought of the slow battle engine makes me want to hide under a blanket.

Cait Sith = Ultros
been fiddling with plugins for a while and now i think i've finally got it playable for me. no more sound issues! but battle swirls had to go, sadly.
why would i give ultros such a cool character? ;p

Alright, the tentative plan is to attempt a low level run with two fighters and two red mages. Normally, I would have thought hard about putting in a black belt in there, but then I remembered I could abuse the sliding puzzle game to get a ton of money, so loading up on tanks (read: fighters) seemed a wiser choice.
This will either be very aggravating, or very fun! Yay!

Woah. That was fast. Is it really that short, or are you just that good at it?

It's really easy on PS1/PS2 coz you can skip FMV's and even boost load times on PS2. I did it on PS3 psn ver (US) in 10:13 with lot of mistakes. Not sure if it is possible on PAL ver, very big difference because of 60Hz vs 50Hz refresh rate. Already noticable in the beginning, running to first moogle and saving is 1 min slower than NTSC.
I posted link to my PS3 Excalibur 2 run on 2 page of this thread.
I was going to play FF2 PSX, but Segata convinced me to play it on PSP since he says the added content is really good, and I've never bothered with the added stuff before. I can't promise I will this time, but I'll at least give it a look. I worry about the main game itself, though, because last time I played this version, the spells leveled too quickly and it actually really irritated me.
It's a combination of factors. FF1 is indeed pretty short if you know what you're doing, and I know the game very well. However, it's also because the PSP version is so ridiculously easy that you can pretty much just walk to each destination and beat it. I generally take about an hour longer with the PSX version.

I understand about the grouped enemies thing. However, whips are useful for group control in the DQ series.
Still though, DQ3 had the better job system. Plus, you could actually change jobs.

I just replayed and beat FF9 last year, it was wonderful.
Finishing up my 2nd FF13 playthrough to prepare for 13-2 (i know its not necessary) while playing FF4: CC on my psp.
My list afterwards:
FF8 - started over the summer but stopped where im in FH
FF5 - played but stopped in the beginning
2,6,7,10 (might wait for vita release).
Ive beaten 12 and 1(psp) few years ago, but I dont mind playing them again.
This is going to be a great year.
My fav FF. Top 3? Im happy.
I really recommend playing FF9!!

I really like X. The story was decent, the combat/leveling system was nice, and the minigame stuff was good too. Sure a proper overworld would have been nice, and some of the cut scenes were a little corny, but those were just minor issues (for me).
Any word if FFX HD will have online Blitzball? I'd be there in a heartbeat if that was the case.

It has longer load times than the SNES and GBA versions. The SNES version has better sound quality, the GBA version less bugs. All are playable in my opinion, though I'm sure others will disagree.

I'm doing a thing where I'm going to play one FF each month. 1-12, with either 11 or X-2 (undecided there) doing a write-up of each one at the end of the month. I might not finish every game, but I hope to see enough of each to jog my memory about what was special and compare them to the rest.
Already finished FF1. Played the GBA version on a Micro.

gba version you mean
I gave up on Valkyrie Profile 2 and started a game of FFVI. I'm playing the PSX FF anthology version in epsxe so I can take snaps.
I like the opening of this game so much. It definitely darker than the previous game in the series and Terra's theme is really amazing.
I'm at the point where I choose to input's Terra's name. Wondering if I should keep the default names or input my own. Any funny suggestions. I'll continue playing tonight later.

Whelp, the journey is almost over. Time to enter the Chaos Temple and head toward the finale.
Current party:
Going to take a bit of a break since I'm a little drained after the sky fortress's relentless encounter rate, but I'll soldier toward the end soon.
lol, I guess it helps to know these games. I just got to where you were in your last update (elfheim) and I'm at the 4+ hour mark and you're at the end in less time?
lol.
Enjoying it a lot though, glad I went with this to start off with rather than one of the more story heavy ones like I planned.

Yes, more love for Final Fantasy II is needed. I really enjoy that game.

Man FF4 DS looks like ass. I'm so jelly of the awesome looking PSP version
Also, Cecil feels nerfed in this version. He's not hitting for a jillion damage while taking barely any. WHAT IS HAPPENING? I NEED MY BROKEN CECIL.
I wish the The Complete Collection would have gotten rid of the item limits :/
I love the clean sprite look though.
Well, you've just sold me on buying it then! It's about £4 on PSN at the moment and if it's that short I might as well give it a shot before FFXIII-2 next week as I've never played it...

Personally I thought the PSP FF IV remake is one of the shoddiest looking FF remake of them all. It has this really cheap RPG maker look to it that bugs the hell out of me. The absurdly easy difficulty pre-moon is pretty dumb as well. Nowadays I think the DS FF IV is the only one I can play now. Love the world redesigned in 3D and the high difficulty forces you to use every tool in your arsenal.
I have been playing FF II these last couple of days and am almost to the dreadnaught. I am enjoying myself, but the encounter rate is driving me nuts. The upgrade system is awesome though. Feels rather addictive and flexible in the same way that FF VIIIs was.

why not? it would look great on a 800x600 monitor
It's not scaled properly and the image is distorted.

Started FFIV PSP all over again and just finished Mt. Ordeals. I seriously don't remember IV being this easy.
maybe he just scaled the screenshots smaller. epsxe at default has a higher resolution than that, iirc.

I loved the PSP version look
I will admit that the spell effects were awesome though.

I swear that I spent at least half-an-hour doing just that when I first played the game as a kid. It was so fun.
Ah, I'll start MQ later. I have my hands full at the moment.
