SE likes remakes...Follow

Final Fantasy III possibly coming to PC.

No, it's not FFVI, it's the real III, and the version that was released on the DS, and then on all those mobile devices.

Apparently FFX/X-2 Remake sold some 200k copies. I think it's good news for people hoping for a FFXII remake.

I tried to play FF3 on iPod touch, android, and psp all three times I had lockups and crashes. I just gave up trying

At this point I wouldn't even purchase remakes of the games that I actually enjoyed.

12? what? That game was stupid... I didn't even realize I beat the game until credits started rolling...
And it still looks like a decent game in today's graphics

Now 7, that is where it is as but "wouldn't be remade until a fresh entry in the franchise surpasses it in quality."

I want a HD remake of 9. I Mean even if they keep it psuedo 2D backgrounds. FF7 & 8 are already on PC so if you want HD remakes of them you could just use modded graphics to make it look fancy. THey never released 9 on PC, it has nice style and would look awesome in HD.

12 is meh. I want to replay it but I barely remember it, and I beat it after having my GF save over a 70% + save. So I beat it 1.7 times lol. Like Sand says I beat it and was like, wait its over?

I would like the older games to be remade into 3D but I think that would just require to much. FF4,5,6 had the best characters and storylines of all the FF's IMHO.

I forgot about the 3D FF4 remake, From the looks of it its only on the DS/Android/iOS. Honestly surprised they didn't port it to the PSP/Vita. But knowing SE they probably signed some contract saying it would only be on a Nintendo console. The wiki doesn't say anything about why it hasn't been ported yet.

This.

Am I the only one who didn't like FF9 that much? IMO it's one of the weaker entries in the series.

Out of curiosity, what was your experience with FF at the time you played 9?

I think I was around 17 when FF9 came out. I had played just about every FF title up to that point (at least what was commercially available in the US). For me, it was like this giant nostalgia bomb for when I had been younger and playing the more high fantasy-based FF titles (and other JRPG in general) on the SNES. I loved 7 and enjoyed 8, but 9 felt like an old friend you hadn't seen for years coming over to visit. I'm sure that nostalgia heavily affects my opinion of the game (as it does with Chrono Trigger), but it's one of my favorite Final Fantasy titles for sure.

I know, man. And they always seem to push such great content off the front page of the forum.

I was 18 when FF9 came out and I had also played most of the other FF games at that point. I didn't get into RPGs until just a few years prior though so didn't have fond memories of playing FF4 at age 10 or anything. I found FF9 to be more annoying than nostalgic. It didn't do anything new, and nothing it did was better than any of the previous games (aside from the graphics.) It was like the series took a step back instead of forward. The battle system is so insanely slow that it's hard to play, all the characters are annoyingly cliche, many of the plot twists are copy-pasted straight from FF4, etc... SpoilerDear Square. The whole "Main-villain-is-really-my-brother-and-we're-from-the-moon" thing isn't quite as cool or shocking the second time around.

Overall I don't hate the game, but I don't like it that much either. By disk 3 I had to force myself to finish it.

O.o its people like you that make SE think they need to reinvent the wheel every game and spawn crap like 13. The whole point that most people liked it was because it was back to its roots in a more medieval-ish/ steampunk setting, after FF7 blew up and FF8 was a flop. The gear system was a hybrid of FF7 Materia and FF8s Junction system, which was new.

I will admit you need to crank the battle speed up because its slow as hell and the Trance stuff was terrible. (I never tranced on a boss cept the scripted one). Story is subjective, also I liked how it tied back to FF1, if you dug deep enough.

I'm not trying to pick on you or white knight the game it had its flaws and its not the 'best' but its better than average and I would consider it a classic.

I would rather have failures like FF9 than failures like FF13, and thanks to Bravely Default maybe SE is realizing that.

I don't expect anyone to reinvent the wheel every time. I do however, expect the new wheel to be at least a little better and different than the old one. FF13 might have been controversial and bit of a failure, but at least it failed in new and interesting ways.


And I'd rather have new and interesting games like Radiant Historia or TWEWY than somewhat boring throwbacks like Bravely Default. Difference of opinion I guess.
