Ok Suggestions?

i have to agree with Toph of FFX.it's one of my favorite games.i love doing Blitzball.im prop at it.somehow, Yuna's my strongest character and i can kill everything in 1 hit.

Final Fantsy 7-it's in my opinion the best Final Fantasy game ever.the story line is great,all the characters are amazing,and to top it all off,there's 3 different FF7 games (the original,crisis core& Dirge of Cerberus) and a movie of it (Advent Children.)

FF8-it's a great game with great characters and bosses.the trick with using magic makes it a lot more fun.

FF12-Toph has some pretty good points on this game,but i'll have to say i love the story line.it may not be classic FF game style but it's fun nonetheless.the Esper battles are fun too.

FF13-it may be on the PS3,but it's in my opinion one of the ebst FF games out there. the battle system is a little different but u can get used to it very quickly.

i recomend NOT to play FF11 and 14.i tried them and they were terrible.i have to say that SE shouldn't make FF games for the PC and as MMO's.not a good thing

 

I think there are three FF games on PS2, X, X-2, XII

X-2 is the sequesl to X so there is no point just buying that game on its own.

Out of X and XII I would have to go with X like the two like ADogX123 and Toph. It has the most detailed world and its story is just a little more compelling than FF XII.

If you want a story you can really get sucked into and sink some hours in, I would get X.

And the character Auron just makes X too awesome to miss out on XD.

 

i would've said FF9,but i actually haven't really played it yet.in fact,im playing it right now on my PSP GO since it's cheap off the PS Store.it's pretty fun so far even though i'm barely at the first village where u have to recue Vivi.i'll let you know what i think of it when i finish it.i usually work on side stories and secret bosses b4 anything else.in FF7,the Ruby and Emerald took a week to beat.did it though

 

Zol said he's only got a PS2, I know you can play PS1 games on PS2 but he would have to have a PS1 memory card.

 

I personally prefer XII over X. The main protagonist in X irked me to no end and I felt just so. . . restricted the whole time. The Sphere grid was the worst, and at some points I couldn't progress because I didn't have the right spheres to purchase abilities. Which is exactly how I never got past Shiva's temple. Wheras in FFXII, you just needed points in order to progress, which could be obtained from any creature. Not to mention, you could develop whoever in your party to be whatever you wanted.

 

Ok Tidus is not one of the most likable FF dudes (unless you mean its Yuna you don't like) I agreee with that but the other characters balance that off.

Two questions

-How did you feel restricted? Can you explain that a little further
-Did you use the expert sphere grid? In which I understand that you might not have had the right spheres.

(Slightly unrelated) - Oh yeah and Toph I remember you saying you weren't really that impressed with Kairi and Sora's relationship on a different thread. What did you think of Yuna and Tidus? On a FF forum I'm on I sometimes get the vibe that they think their relationship was really unconvincing.

Which I think's a little sad because I thought that whole Tidus/Yuna thing (can't say because of spoilers) was pretty moving and made a great game which is why I would definitely recommend it.

Also, Zol if you can get a PS1 memory card for $2 definitely get it and play the old ones. I didn't know you could fetch one for that price.

 

Restricted as in it gives you the illusion of developing your characters how you want, but you cannot actually do jack into you get the right spheres, and experience to move to the place. Example: I needed to get the "-Ra" spells for Lulu, and yet I could NOT get ANY ability spheres no matter how much time I spent raiding monsters. Oh, and Blitzball.

 

The expert sphere grid is in the international version only, which isn't available to people in NA (Or maybe not even people outside of Japan. I also don't know where Requiem lives, so I'm just assuming).

I enjoyed X. I wasn't restricted with the sphere grid at all. Of course I have a player's guide saying what monsters drop what spheres and where, so it wasn't a problem for me. I also enjoy Blitzball, and the only problem I'm having with it is getting the sigil for Wakka.

 

So Im not alone then, FFX fans are hard to come by

Let me know how it goes once you start playing it.

I don't get this? That's a bit unfair and unusual to NA. Both FFXs that I bought (from a normal video game shop, not imported) both had the choice of expert sphere grid. I'm just baffled because it's not often England gets something in a video game that America doesn't. If anything it's usually the other way around.

Also, you like FFX too? We're getting quite a number here, XD

 

Well, at least you gave me an answer. The expert sphere grid is available only in the international version, which (Based on what you said) is available everywhere except NA. Square Enix has a habit of creating a game, giving NA an updated version of said game, and then making another updated version that NA doesn't get.

6 instances I can think up off of the top of my head:
1. KH FM (Available only in JP)
2. KH2 FM+ (Available only in JP)
3. KH BBS FM (Available only in JP)
4. FFX International version
5. FFX-2 International + Last Mission
6. FFXII International Zodiac Job System

Yeah, I like it. First FF game I beat.

 

That sucks... because the expert sphere grid gives you a lot of freedom you can have Tidus knowing holy and weird stuff like that XD. But the if you mess up (like me) you'll will end up levelling for hours to try and get the right move.

This is what I had to do because I needed haste and because i'd taken tidus so far away from the path he was meant to take things got pretty messed up.

But knowing holy did help with that underwater boss who was vulnerable to magic XD. It took my friend ages to defeat that boss because he used standard sphere grid and none of the swimmers knew magic attacks.
