The only ones I've played are I, II, and FFTA. I've heard that all three are amazing. The question is, should I get a PS2 so I could play VII-IX? Or should I wait for the PS3?

A PS2 will let you play FFVII, VIII, IX, X, X-2, and Tactics, so I don't see why you wouldn't. Since the PS3 isn't out yet (I'm not even sure if there is a date set), I don't see the point in waiting...

PS3 will be out next year some time. It's up to you if you feel you can wait or not. If you do get a PS2 I hear that they might be dropping the price to Ł70 when the Xbox360 comes out.

I think I will, seeing how I'm not planning on getting a PS3...

If you aren't getting a PS3 then yes, get a PS2.

Well duh. If he's getting one of them but he doesn't want to pay up for the PS3 there isn't much choice left.

If you've gone this long without a PS2, you probably won't mind not having a PS3, so sure, go for it.

Dont forget the ports of IV, V, and VI as well. Even better!

The entire FF series, minus Crystal Chronicles and III (I think that's it, right?), are playable on PS2, so I'd definitly recommend getting one.

I knew I was missing some. It's too early for my brain to work right.

Those arent Final Fantasy games, those are SaGa and Seiken Densetsu games.

Im inclined to agree with Kishi. After waiting this long you may as well wait for a PS3

id get the PS three because some later FFs will be on PS3 but if it cant play PS1 games you better get a PS1.

Go for it, PS2s are getting really cheap. That slim one is especially cheap, just don't get it if you ever want to play FFXI.

I pity u.....How can u be a fan of FF if u havent played Final Fantasy 7!!!
Anyway with the PS2 u'll get some enhanced graphics and faster loading time but u might as well wait for the PS3 so u can get FF12 and the rest of the collection as it would alos bolt up ff7 graphics and gameplay up to PS2ish :love: standard

I'm pretty sure Sony said that PS3 would be backwards compatible with both PS1 and PS2

Wow, really shocking how your a big ass fan a ff but yet you haven't played VII. Oh well, hurry up and play VII! You should consider PS3, I mean it makes sense. That way you can be up to date with the ff games that will rise on that system. Or if you're impatient like me, go pick up ps2.

It depends on the money you have and how long you want to wait. If you have not much money and don't want to wait, buy a PS2. If you have a lot of money, and can wait until net year, a PS3 will let you play even future Final Fantasy games.
If you have a BIG lot of money, you can get a PS2 now and a PS3 when it comes out.
