So I've got the money for one game.
I already have FFI - FF7 and CT.
Maybe later I'll get a PS2, but for now, which one is better? Which one should I get?
I've read that FF9 has that old style of the first FF's, whix is great, but also, that FF8 is all romantic and has a lot of battles and stuff..
So, what do you say?
I'd say neither, really. Personally, I prefered VIII. The story was lacking and it had a lot of faults, but it was fun. IX has an insane amount of random battles, and a lot of annoyances, and I really didnt like it.
It's a matter of personal preference though, I'd say just flip a coin.
>>> If you want to have fun buy FF9, if you want to waste your time buy FF8..
but, why??????????????:cry: :cry: :cry:
You're going to get a hundred different opinions on this, like I said just flip a coin. There's no real way to tell which one you'll like, if you'll like either. I say go somewhere and rent them or borrow them from someone else before you buy either.
That'as the problem. Since I live in Mexico, I can't rent it. There are no stores that rent videogames here. And also, nobody I know has one of them, or even likes Final Fantasy...
>>> If you dont trust me, trust your instinct.
but dont blame me later if you choose a crappy game like FF8 :D
I pretty much enjoyed every Final Fantasy. I enjoyed FFVIII the least but I still liked it. I recommend playing both of these games at some point, so I guess it really doesn't matter which one you pick first.
I say IX. Because it's my favorite FF, and if it's Reyn's favorite FF, it's gotta be awesome, right? Right?? *thwacks people ignoring him* :mad:
I thought it had a nice story and music. FF8 was generally all about hooking Squall up with Rinoa. If you're into soap opera science fiction, go with eight.
:mad2: YOU FREAK! You don't own them yet! AAARGH!... Ahem, I mean, you should get both they're fairly cheap now. I prefer FFVIII - it's more difficult, has a better storyline and you can play as Zell!
yeah, FF8 is a long love story, super long with a dual story line.
FF9 was ok, but it was way too easy. It was FUN but too easy. I thought FF8 actually had some challenge in it and the final boss was super hard. I :love: FF8 more than FF9.
FF9 has fun mini-games and sidequests, FF8 has a lot of hidden stuff and I really liked the battle system, the weapons/equipment system, and I'm a hard core romantic so the story line with Squall and Riona was a plus. The summons were cool to get, and some were actually tough *shudders at Tiamat*
I recommend FF8.
FF9 is not very good, but FF8 sucks a lot...
You never should choose FF8...
I think thatt both are great but I liked FFVIII a litttle more.
I'd recommend FFIX. It has a more strategic battle system, a nice range of characters, and some great callbacks from earlier in the series. Plus, the soundtrack it absolutely fantastic.
I'd go for FF8 it's a much better game. I found 8 more of a challenge. It took me about 3 months to finish it the first time through were as I finished FF9 in a week.
Yeah, it took me a long time to finish FF8 too. Probably because I kept falling asleep while playing it.. :o
FF9 is a million times better than 8. Get that.
