Thread: I am going to be doing a marathon of Final Fantasy games.

  1. #1

    Default I am going to be doing a marathon of Final Fantasy games.

    Beginning Black Friday. FF1-12. Minus 11, plus X-2 and Crisis Core.

    I'm still working on the schedule, but my friend and I are going to be doing it. I am very excitable.

    Has anyone else attempted anything similar, before?

    That's gonna get rough! Hope you're not planning on getting everything in each game

    I've never done a Final Fantasy marathon, just completing one game at a time seems to be hard enough work for me. I have however done a Silent Hill marathon with a buddy who had never played SH before. We played them in a weird order though, it was like 4, 2, 5, 3 and then 1 last. Because that's the order in which the games got available to us. we got through them all in 12 sittings. His preference of the games turned out like this: 5, 2, 1, 4 and 3.

    Good luck on your quest!

    Ya, listen to the poster above, he hardly makes long post, he did it specially for you!

    I remember BOU did something similar in that he went through and beat them all, but he didn't do it in order. So I don't even count it.

    It's going to be

    FF1 (PSP)
    FF2 (PSP)
    FF3 (DS)
    FF4 (DS)
    FF5 (GBA)
    FF6 (GBA)
    CC: FF (PSP)
    FF7 (PS1)
    FF8 (PS1)
    FF9 (PS1)
    FF10 (PS2)
    FF10-2 (PS2)
    FF12 (PS2)
    FFT (PS1)

    And about a month later, FF13 should be coming out.

    But that's coincidental, really.

    Wow, that's going to be tough after a while. Good luck, though.

    Isn't it going to be hard playing with someone else with a handheld? I'm imagining you'll take turns having sore necks.

    It's a lot easier if you play the earlier ones on an emulator and can blow through them in a day easily with frame-skip

    At one point I was going to try to beat all of the games in one sitting (one game a weekend, no food/drink/sleep until it is completed), but it fell apart after I did FFVII. The next one I was going to attempt was FFX, and I decided I didn't really want to play X again.

    My mind boggles at the idea of someone liking Homecoming more than any other SH. Just feels wrong.

    Anyway, I assume you guys will be doing this in shifts if you're actually going straight through them all, unless you just plan on doing one then sleeping, then another.

    Either way, I'd recommend the PSP version of FF Tactics if you can get your hands on it. The translation is far better than the PSX version and it's got some extra stuff in it as well. The cut scenes and voice acting (only during the cut scenes mind you) were really good too.

    Well, the spot for the first was pretty tight between 5, 2 and 1. imo, 5 really isn't that bad compared to the others if you don't have any history or nostalgia attached to the others. It's probably my 3rd favorite.

    Sorry, I should clarify. We're both doing this on our own, but we're following the same timeframe. He actually set this up for himself, so I'm just copying him, actually. Because I always meant to do so.

    I'll upload the entire schedule once it's set up, to give you an indication.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Homecoming is a bad horror game by any stretch. It's got more than a few problems with it but it has some really cool areas and monsters and the Silent Hill atmosphere still shines through sometimes, it just really doesn't hold a candle to the first three with or without nostalgia affecting the opinion if you ask me.
