Final Fantasy IV, V and VI for GBA
Final Fantasy IV, V and VI for GBA
http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/650/650 ... p1.htmlI'm excited about this. Sure, it's fine to just get a ROM but FFVI was just such a well-crafted game, I'd pay to have it on the go. Final Fantasy IV is a treat, too. I don't even remember if you all hate everything pre-VII.Anyway, I'm pleased to hear about this. Have been hoping for this announcement for years!
And then Akon was like, Wooohooo! YEEHOOO!
The Snapey Guide To Final Fantasy GamesFinal Fantasy I, II & III (NES)Didn't play much of these, I'm sure they might have been something special back in the day but playing them now is about as much fun as rubbing your penile weapon with a cheesegrater. Some pleasure to be had, but mostly just painful.Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (SNES)Well... it wasn't bad... but the main characters name was Benjamin. BENJAMIN. What kind of shitty name for a hero is that? "Oh no it's the legendary Benjamin, run for your lives!" I don't think so.Final Fantasy IV (SNES)Quite good this one, graphics were diabolical but the storyline was nice. Yet again the hero is given a stupid name, this time it's Cecil and he means business.Final Fantasy V (SNES)Ignoring the main characters name once more (BUTZ?! Why not just call him PENIZ and have done with it) this is a major step up from the last one. Storyline is good again, the graphics are a lot better and the classes system was revolutionary. Red mages ftw!Final Fantasy VI (SNES)This remains one of my favourite games in the series and of all time. Story was awesome, graphics fantastic but it's the depth of the characters that really seals it. The Celes opera scene is one of the all time greats, right up there with Aeris dying. Good jorb!Final Fantasy VII (PSX)Fave game ever. Just played through this recently doing everything there is to do in the game, which is a lot. Great characters, graphics set the standard for FMV sequences at the time, story was immense... a classic in every sense of the word.Final Fantasy VIII (PSX)Hmmm. I was a bit disappointed with this after how much I loved VII to be honest. Squall was a cool cat and everything, but all he ever really said was '...' which got a bit old. Thought the love element in this was great, but I never felt like the characters had much background to them, kinda how I felt after playing through Chronotrigger. Didn't like the story much at all either.Final Fantasy IX (PSX)Enjoyable, but nothing special. After VIII didn't do as well as hoped, they went back to the VII style of graphics with is a good thing IMO. Don't remember much about this though, nothing really stands out as a memorable event.Final Fantasy X (PS2)What. The. Fuck. The hell was this? Starring some shitty Swedish pornstar loser as the main character, a shitty storyline with an even shittier twist at the shitty end. Blitzball was shit... and the fact you can't explore the world map or fly your airship around?! SHIT. Only good thing about this is the graphics... oh and Auron was pretty cool.Didn't bother with X2 or XI, XII etc. cos I don't think FF was meant for multiplayer (and X2 didn't appeal to me at all... why make a FF sequel for the shittiest game in the genre?). The Advent Children movie, which I loved in every way, hooked me back into the FF world. So much so that I ordered the Cloud and Sephiroth coldcast statues and... the piece de resistance... Cloud on his bike.They all rock, the only one I still want to get is almost impossible to find and costs a fortune which is this one:

I did like the characters with that, I don't know just all around I did really like it. if it wasn't for seven being so uber leet 9 would have been my fav.and I LOVE BLITzBALL!?!/ about 4 weeks ago I spent an entire week (thats somewhere between 5 and 9 days) just playing blitzball I love it so freakin much. that was 2+ hours a day for just blitzball. I didn't like the rest of X though, it blew arse ps: I never finished 8(never got past disc one and probably never will) or 10(on Mt Gagazet right now b/c I spent a week in the calm lands playing blitzball b/c passion for FF was also renewed after AC), not good enough so I got bored playing and quit.
