Heading out to pick it up in about 20 minutes here... After which, I will not be heard from again for many days, lol.

Hellsvacancy3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

Lucky you, not out until Friday here in the UK

I can't wait to play it again, got DS2 aswel, not enough time to play these awesome games

kayoss3685d ago

I preordered mine through ToysRus. Received an email today saying that my shipment will be delayed until they get more in stock. However, no mention of when they will get the game in stock. Should have just go and pick it up myself.

Theparanerds3685d ago

I hate when they do that, what's the point of a preorder if they're out of stock already?

3-4-53685d ago

Never played, deciding if I should get this and a couple other games, or get a Wii U today.

I think I'm grabbing this regardless. Never played it before and have always wanted to.

How is the difficulty compared to FF7 ? That is the only other game in the Main series I've played.

Snookies123685d ago

FFX can be pretty unforgiving if you're not prepared for certain fights. However, there are a LOT of ways to go about improving your guys. Whether it's straight up stats/abilities you can gain from fights, or weapons/armor that you find or create. There are a ton of different ways to flesh out your characters and equipment (especially if you use the expert sphere grid).

I'd say FF7 is probably easier than FFX. However, X is not unfair or anything by a long shot. Just have to be prepared at certain points in the game, and even if you're not... There are ways to go about improving.

Nerdmaster3685d ago

Enemies in X can be pretty unforgiving if you try to fight them with "wrong" characters. For example, fighting evasive flying enemies with Auron or those physical attack-resistant jelly enemies with Tidus. You can switch characters during battle, so you have to take advantage of that to survive.

thanks for the advice.

cluckey073685d ago

So happy to be playing a FF game on my Vita. Helps take the sour out of my mouth from FF13. While FF10 is not the greatest FF it still is good and plays like an FF game should.

kayoss3685d ago

I played Lightning return and it was killing me inside. To me it was so bad but im a person who wants to finish something that I've started. The ending in my opinion was a cop out to tie up loose ends.

jambola3685d ago

Have this pre-ordered, thought it would be here today :(
then i realized it was 3 more days away.

Yuri_Rook3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

Will be downloading this when PSN updates. Amazing how the first FF game I purchased for my PS2 will be the same and first FF game I buy for my PS3.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Joins Game Pass Tomorrow

The official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account announced that starting tomorrow Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster will be available on game pass.

Gaming4Life19811073d ago

I literally have this game on everything lol.

Abnor_Mal1072d ago

The game that got me into the Final Fantasy series, I actually stopped playing FF7 halfway through disc one back in 1997.

Teflon021072d ago

Personally the battle in this one legit make me fall asleep because they're so "do it the right way or no way". As a kid I loved it but as I'm older and play so much JRPGs. Definitely needed to be the ATB and not this one. But the story was something I loved

Kavorklestein1072d ago (Edited 1072d ago )

The game is actually live now.
I already unlocked an achievement on it and can I say: The grainy ass PS2 graphics still ended up looking great in HD. Of course, not leaps and bounds better, with old textures in some spots and old game design etc but it holds up beautifully and I'm excited for my 2nd ever playthrough. It has not lost it's charm for me personally.
And the Music! So good.

I wanna get better at blitz ball this time around tho

Eh. Never could get into it for long.
12 is my personal favorite. Followed by 6, 9, and 7.

gold_drake1511d ago

not surprising, ff fans who like 6 and 12, usually dont like the rest i feel.

Spenok1510d ago

I grew up on the series (played every single one of them when they were new).

6 is easily my favorite, followed by 14, then 11, then 12 and so on down the list.

There isn't a single one I haven't loved in some way. But 8, and then 2 are at the bottom of my list.

AK911510d ago

What’s wrong with 6?

Sirk7x1510d ago

Love 6, hate 12 lol. 9 my favorite by far.

bouzebbal1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

I really don't inputs which one is my personal favorite because there are so many, but I know for a fact it's not 10,13 and 15..
Ff12, despite cheesy characters, was a great game and the freedom of movement really helped. The ps1 episodes come first, including the ff5 ff6 remasters.
I later on played ff1 remaster on psp and I loved it!! Så yeah, hard top pick one.

bangoskank1509d ago

Not true. XII, IX, and VI are my favorites as well but I still love some of the others, just not as much.

Army_of_Darkness1509d ago

FF7 is by far my favorite FF game, great times and great memories.. then comes
FF8, FF6, FFX, FF12 and finally FF9.

12 doesn't feel like a FF game to me, but it's definitely a favourite rpg of mine.

1510d ago
babadivad1510d ago

I put a metric ton of time in on 12 but I couldn't tell you what the story was about. I spent most of my time hunting bounties. By the time I finished the game I had no clue what was going on.

1510d ago
RedDevils1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

12 is one of the worst. But 13 and 15 take the cake.

gold_drake1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

haha see, thats what i mean. theres, usually but not all the time, a pattern to final fantasy fans xD
i for one loath 12. i have no idea what the story was about, dont know any name for any city and only find Fran and Balthier great.
i love love love 7. dont like 2 at all. 6 and 9 are good but id rather play anything else tbh. 14 is good also but im no MMO person so i never got beyond the 3rd quest lol.

no hate, but ff fans are somewat predictable, based off on what they like xD in most cases.

ShinRon1510d ago

those are my top FF games but i have 6 at the top still.

SugarSoSweet1510d ago

12!!!?? is your favourite why? The characters are story was terrible..

DerfDerf1510d ago

I personally give the nod to 8 then 9, 7, 5

-Foxtrot1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

Final Fantasy V and XIV got better than FFVIII

Lightning, Orshvan Greystone and Noctis got a better ranking than Squall

Liberi Fatali didn't even make the music list...

Damn, I didn't think people still hated FFVIII...how sad.

Muzikguy1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

3 and 9 are my favorite. 12, 10, 8, 7, and 5 aren't bad either

I don't think I've played 6. I probably should sometime. I know I'd rather play an original not any of the remake versions.

VincentCastle1495d ago (Edited 1495d ago )

yes!
I love Final Fantasy 12. My favorite as well. Then followed by 9, 6, 7,14 and the others I like, but I can't quite put in a list.

darkwalker1511d ago

I agree. It is the best of the Final Fantasy games because it had the perfect balance of game play and exploration, coupled with excellent graphics for its time, an amazing story and phenomenal music. The sphere grid was simple, innovative and engaging and the side quests were fun and challenging. Its definitely my favorite.

specialguest1511d ago

My top FF:
It's difficult to decide between FF7 and FF6, but I'm leaning more towards FF7. Then FF6 is a very close 2nd, followed by FF4. FF4 got me hooked on the RPG genre. The story, character development, and music got me hooked. Before FF4, I never cared for video game characters and their fate in a game.

littletad1510d ago

Have you tried 9? It hearkens back to the earlier games, including 6. That's my favorite. Then 10.

specialguest1510d ago

Haven't played 9 yet. I need to

Shiken1511d ago

Auron is the best character in Final Fantasy IMO.

Sirk7x1510d ago

FFX could have had a fantastic prequel following their initial journey.

Shiken1510d ago

Instead we got a Sailor Moon style sequel to revive Tidus, and a canon comic that shits all over him in the worst way possible taking place immediately after that.

But yes, following Braska, Auron, and Jecht in a prequel would have been awesome!

gold_drake1511d ago

my faves are 5, 7, 8, 10, 13-2.

MWH1510d ago

Looks like a puzzle combination.
