That's quite the claim there. Might start a bit of a frenzy, you know?
Let me rephrase that. The PC release with the HD textures mod. I guess I should have been more clear in my last post (changed it now to avoid confusion)

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.
How do I fix that?
So, FF4 Complete is super fucking easy. I've never beaten the US original, but I'm curious to load up the Japanese version to compare it. This is a joke how easy it is. Not a single bad guy even attacked before the first boss in the cave. Kain and Cecil were getting to attack 2 sometimes even 3 times, with the bad guys never making a move. The Mist Dragon was literally doing 1 damage (outside of the cold attack which you will probably only get hit by one turn).
Think I'll just check out The After Years stuff. Not really any fun with zero challenge.
I don't remember how easy the Mist Dragon was, but from my experience FFIV Complete was not challenging, but fun. Some enemies were annoying. The only "challenge" was fighting those Trap Door enemies. I can't remember from the top of my head why, but they were really annoying. Not even a challenge, just pure annoying.So, FF4 Complete is super fucking easy. I've never beaten the US original, but I'm curious to load up the Japanese version to compare it.

Is Final Fantasy Origins as crap as the other SNES-to-PS1 ports?

Okay I have no clue what to get. I already picked up Chrono Cross but not sure what to do now. Do I get FF 8 and 9? Do I get FFT War of the Lions? Should I not get anything and not add to my backlog?

It's a tactical-RPG. You play as Kazuki TakemuraI really enjoyed it. I don't think Square has done anything real great FM wise, since FM3.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.
Why did you spoiler tag any of 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.
A bit off-topic for the thread, but you might enjoy the DS/Mobile version of FFIV a bit more. Much more challenging, with new strategies for many of the bosses.
FF9 and Xenogears
Xenogear isn't on sale though!
I already own all the FF games I want.
Should I get Chrono Cross or Chrono Trigger? I'll be playing on Vita.
I owned one of them on PS1 but I don't remember which. It was ages ago.
edit: Some informal internet research says go trigger... agree?
It's $9.. and a better smarter purchase than any two games together on that list except for Chrono Trigger.
Dreadful writing? There are literally very few fighting games with a better story. Unless you are comparing the story of a fighting game to an RPG?
How do I fix that?
Just picked up the tactics remake. ill be downloading it once i get home. cant wait to finally try it. and even tho xenogears is $10 im still thinking about getting it!
So, because it was mentioned early in this thread, I went ahead and downloaded Chrono Trigger on my vita(I already owned it) to try it with the fast loading setting. It's still hot shit, I don't know what you crazy people are talking about.
Tactics isn't a remake, it's a PS1 port with stretched graphics, added cutscenes, and horrible horrible debilitating slowdown.
I can full heartedly recommend the PS1 version over the PSP version, even if you're going to play it on a PSP or Vita.
(Edit) To be clear, if you actually own a custom firmware PSP, you can use a patch to fix these issues (which makes you wonder why Square couldn't have handled it themselves...)
So I take it the consensus in this thread is that Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection is a must-buy for anyone who deems it one of their favorite games of all-time?
I've never played this version of FFIV and I've been so tempted to get it ever since it was released but held off due to the price. Does it run well on the Vita?
It's completely a remake, no matter what your "ew yucky" feelings may be on it.
How's Chrono Trigger on Vita? I have 8 bucks left on my account and I already bought like 6 games.
No, no it's not. It is literally just a stretched out port. This isn't about 'yucky feelings' or anything else, it uses 100% the same sprites, same 3D models, same effects but they are stretched out of their proper aspect ratio to fit the PSP screen, and it suffers from severe slow down when casting spells.
Please refrain from speaking down to someone if you have no idea what you're talking about.
Considering that Dissidia might have more lines of text and a longer playtime than most of NES and SNES era Final Fantasy games, I don't think making comparisons to RPG stories is exactly unfair. Dissidia loves its story cutscenes, which can be a problem when the writing is mostly garbage that fails to really convey what made most of the cast interesting in their original games. It has some gems and great moments, but most of it is pretty bland and weighed down by the same nonsense that make the Kingdom Hearts story way more convoluted and obtuse than it needed to be. I mean, the writer for Dissidia is the guy who wrote the stories for the Kingdom Hearts games and was the Lead Scenario Writer for the entire Final Fantasy XIII series, and you can see the similarities in his style: overly complex scenarios that often fail to focus on the fundamentals of making the characters developed and interesting.
