I started playing it, found it deeply absorbing, so stopped playing it for fear I'd not touch another game.
10 points on my tag...looks pathetic. Ok, found my game this afternoon.

I promised myself not to get into this... not after last time. Got the warrant and everything from before. But, personally speaking, FFVIII was the business. FFX-2 was pretty lame. But FFXII is immense. Lost Odyssey is pretty good, but I can't help feeling that turn-based games need to get themselves together (which LO *just* manages) or do the FFXII-twist. I really wanted to love Blue Dragon, for example, but I just couldn't.
For Nin, I guess you'll just have to live with the next FF. They seem to go in turns of old-style magick, then new-modern-futuristic, and back again. FFVI to FFVII / VIII, FFIX to FFX / FFX-2, FFXII to XIII.

I just want a decent adventure game for the PSP. Usually FF are decent titles, so may give it ago when I get a job!

I suppose its going to depend on your machine, I never had any problems with it.

Its been ages since i played I and II. They dont really have much regarding a plot. You're told to repair/find some crystals at the start and thats pretty much it. You've got to work the rest out.

That is true. Put it this way, if Zelda went the same way that Final Fantasy is heading, there would be complete outrage from the Nintendo fanboys. Can you remember the fuss they made about cell-shading for Wind Waker. I think they would explode if you gave Link a gun.

And all those games sucked. Guns and blades with guns are not a good sign for a FF game. Though reading the previews of FFXIII along with how poor the recent ones have been i'm not holding much hope for it. At least Mistwalker are showing Square how to do it with Lost Odyssey.

FFX-2 Is not really a game that should be mentioned...

You should never cite X-2 in any FF argument.
> Balthier and his guns in FFXII - pretty bad-ass.
I've not got that far into XII but i'm going to assume theyre not flashy and he doesn't twirl them around like a tw@.
Watching the XIII trailer and seeing what i assume are main characters jumping around flashing their guns like some Jedi on a sugar rush is not what FF is supposed to be.
