Square Enix has been putting some of their most beloved role-playing games on current platforms and that includes the enhanced ports of FFVII and FFIX. And these versions are best enjoyed with cheats.
Square Enix's latest post on X features a quote from Final Fantasy 9, suggesting a Remake announcement could be imminent.
I wonder if it’ll be a Remake or simply a Remaster though. Remake suggests a complete rework and overhaul like with FF7.
Remaster is already out.
Remake will blow my mind!! I didn’t play this for a very long time and day one collector edition. One of the most memorable games from PS1
FF7 is a lot more than just a remake. It's a more like a re-imagining bordering on a reboot/sequel. There are plenty of remakes that are not just remasters that don't go anywhere near that far. Examples include Demon's Souls (2020), Resident Evil (2002), Tony Hawk 1+2, etc.
is 9 really the best in the series? i'm not into FF but i heard a few fans make that claim
Even though it's not my PERSONAL favorite, I would say yes, it's the best game in the series.
7 & 9 for me. It's a lot more simple and charming than many other FF games, but still has layers of complexity. It also have my (and many others) favourite character in any FF, Vivi.
6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 are generally considered the best of the series. That was the golden age for Final Fantasy. They're all quite different from each other though. So it's impossible to really say which one is the "best" in the series. Since their tone, setting, characters, world & gameplay is always changing.
You hit the nail on the head, I think the reason 6-10 are considered the best is because they all excel at something unique and stand out
6 is very much the majora's mask of the FF series, it has a massive cult following and has the best villain
7 is the face of FF and a general entry point into series and the first 3D FF, the materia system is 10/10
8 is the dark horse and the most adult and the junction system is the most complicated out of the series (my personal favourite)
9 is the most charming one and although it has dark moments its generally quite light hearted and feel good
10 critically I would say is the best one with the best single player story to any FF and the graphics leap was insane from PS1 to PS2 and whenever I recommend an JRPG I say FF10
7 for me, most would say 6 or 7, but FF9 was well known for being underrated, even for it's time, I rank FF9 pretty highly, even if it's not my favourite.
Snookies12 pretty much has the right idea, you can't go wrong with the golden era of Final Fantasy.
9 was the last great traditional ff game.ffx was great but it was the beginning of the end.ffx paved the way for what we know as ff today.
An alleged pitch presentation for an animated series based on Square Enix's Final Fantasy IX has emerged on the internet.
I'm not feeling great about this either, but even if this project survives and sees the light of day, I'm not too keen on what SE puts out these days (even if they only co-produce/work on it).
Many games have come and gone as gaming began its illustrious history in this world. So let's talk about the top 100 video games of all time!
Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.
Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.
Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!
Might as well just watch a lets play if you're playing like that
I’ve already gotten close to beating the original FFVII, so playing it now with 3x speed with random encounters turns it into so much more of a blast to play
Get the f**k out of gaming.
They completely ruined the experience for me in the PS4 version. I couldnt resist when its just right in your face and the ATB meter takes to damn long. That's why FFX has the best combat system, was never a fan of the ATB system, makes you panic and click random buttons, whereas in X it lets you take your time and use strategy.
Context, context, context. Speed+ isn't so much a cheat as a convenient function on the face of today's streamlined/non-random RPGs. Save states are close to today's autosave checkpoints, so having that option welcomes you to use or abuse it. I just vow to not use it mid-battle; if a fight doesn't go my way, then I'll revert to the start of it. God mode... I condemn it, but I would usher younger players to start with it, then encourage fair play when they have the hang of it. No randoms... convenient, but you're throwing shade on the oldschool legacy. So I guess my opinion, the more you're stripping off of games with unsinkable legacies, the more you're cheating (yourself.)
