Final Fantasy

Hey peeps,

I used to love the older Final Fantasy games, had them on PS1 and PS2, but i have yet to play one on the PS3....

Could y'all suggest which one i should get and why, and which one i shouldnt get and why...

Appreciate the Help!!!

If you have played them on the PS1 & PS2 then get Final Fanatsy XIII for PS3.

There's no point in going over old ground.  Prepare yourself though as it will be alot different but it's a great game imo with the best battle system to date.

There's only 1 current gen FF out on PS3 which is XIII - although at this point I'd say hold off until XIII-2 and pick that up, there's many improvements and changes to the game, which will hopefully result in a better experience.

The game, I believe, has a beginners primer, so you should be able to catch up on the story of XIII. XIII is extremely long too (40-50 hours), so you may not even be able to get through it all in the week until XIII-2's release.

There's more coming out, these are what to watch out for:

PlayStation 3: XIII-2, Versus XIII, XIV, X-HD

PSP: Type-0 English

Vita: X-HD

I highly presume Squeenix are working on XV for obvious reasons too.

I can't see why you wouldn't want to pick up XIII for £15 or less.  When your done XIII-2 will be cheaper.

Regardless of what many say about XIII you get an incredible game for just £15.  Additionally if you fall into the hate it catagory you then haven't spent £30 on the sequel.  It's meant to be different yes, but not unrecognisable from it's predecessor.

I'm the opposite, I defend XIII from the hordes of crybabies, alot

If he doesn't mind release dates and what not - then yeah, grab XIII and pick up XIII-2 when done with it.

Amazon have XIII for the princely sum of £12.99 which is an absolute bargain. There is also a strong chance that the price will go up and it may become harder to comeby after next week.

I'd highly recommend playing the original before the new one, firstly as others have said it will give you a strong idea as to if you will enjoy XIII-2. Also no amount of catch up or story so far material in XIII-2 will make up for playing the whole of the original. It would be like trying to understand what was going on in X-2 without having played X.

Yeah I agree with the others. Pick up XIII and by the time you have finished that XIII-2 will have come down in price.

Yeah FF XIII is the only one on PS3 but if you wanted some older ones the PS1 versions of Final Fantasy V VI VII VIII IX are all currently £4 each on PSN at the moment wheile the PSP version of FF I II and Tactics for PSP are the same. Final Fantasy IV The Complete Collection is £14 though.

I picked up FF4:complete edition accidentely some months ago,didnt see that it was for psp, so i wasted 24£ that day.But decided to get PS vita so will be awailable to play it in coming days .

FF IV on PSP is very good not to mention they make grinding much easier with the auto function.

Now if only they'd do 5 and 6 all but 3 would be on psp.
