thanks so much for your response, torij! the suggestion is for me. unfortunately, I didn't play any of the titles in the series until 7-10. I played the super Nintendo one, but all that I cared about doing at the time was flying the airship!

graphics don't bother me, necessarily. I've recently modified my Wii to play all of the older Final Fantasy titles. I just don't know where to start with them! your suggestion rocks! thanks again for your input!
