FFI Impressions

[re1nv3nt]

Thanks, Kanno, extremely helpful!

I've started II (Origins) and I think I will look into III and V after all. This is going to be an incredible ride if I make it all the way from I to VII - one down, six to go!

Originally I was planning on playing all the PS1 versions 'cause I heard they were closest to the originals and I also like the updated graphics. I kinda just want the best experience - so I'll go with the DS version of III and the GBA version of V. What do you think about the PS1 release of VI?

I'm a bit of a tech junkie, so I do own a PS3, PSP, DS, and GBA. For the PS1 versions I've been using ePSXe, although I have a few friends who could probably loan me the physical discs if I asked. You know, I wonder why there haven't been any remakes for Gamecube or Wii - after all, the series was born on a Nintendo console...

I've noticed the quality of Final Fantasy music just from playing FFI - it's already getting stuck in my head.

Don't feel you have to play though every game before you get to the next one. Opinion on each game is quite divisive, they aren't all for everybody. If I had started and played in order I never would have gotten past FF2. If you start to lose interest in a title move on to the next one, it will still be there waiting when you want to come back to it.

This is good advice. Depending on how much free time I have I may end up skipping around.

FF7 - I am going to recommend the PC version. (I don't know if it works on Win7. You need to get a fan made patch to run it on XP) They changed the dialoge somewhat, but the big sell is that they doubled the resolution from the PS1 version.

Excellent, I'll check it out.
