"PS1-Final Fantasy 9"

I must say that FF9 on PSone is the BEST GAME EVER!!!!!
It just seems perfect!!
It's massive (4 DISCS!)
The FMV Sequences are first class, if not better!
and it doesnt seem to get boring at all! I played nearly 4 hours non-stop without putting the controller down!
If you don't own this game, go and buy it now!!! You don't know what your missing!!!!

we get it this christmas

According to the July issue of PSM2 Magazine, FF10 isn't expected here until July 2002!
It also said that Final Fantasy 10 was the best looking game at E3, and that it will feature spoken dialogue and internet support!
(Hopefully I'll have my PS2 by then!!)

Final Fantasy 10 is released July 19th in Japan and September 2nd in America. So we should get it by christmas.

FF10 does look great. I think it will be alot different to the quickly becoming annoying engine which we have seen in the last three games.

Apparently you get to control the summons, each having there own special abilities and techniques. Although it is not coming out for about a year it will be a must have title.

Asda, I agree that ff9 is a great game and must be the peak of what ps1 can technically do....the graphics are superb and I really enjoyed playing the game.

but have you seen any screenshots of ff10 on ps2?

I know the in-game graphics cannot be compared to the likes of ZOE & MGS2 bt the FMV's something special.
Can't wait for GT3&devil may cry, thats when the PS2 will truely shine.

I give you Zone of the Enders!

and/or Metal Gear 2.

Ok the graphics are good on FF9, but if you think they are better than ANY on PS2 then I can only assume you need to see more PS2 games!

I bought FF9 and was sorely dissapointed!!!

You'd be hard pushed to find a bigger fan of FF7 & FF8 than me, I'm a huge fan of the RPG genre and Final Fantasy games in particular.
However, I thought that FF9 was pants in comparison. Yes it had lovely graphics and great FMV, but it just didn't grip me like the other two. I thought that the character development was weak. It was too predictable (even for a Final Fantasy game), on FF7&8 your main character (and therefore the one you are ultimately to have the most interest in) had some form of depth, he had an intriguing background and he opened up throughout the story. Zidane, on the other hand, was a case of what you see is what you get bland a$$ thief. Oooh his thievery calmed down a bit from a few hours in, so what!

All the game had to offer in character development was in the form of the princess and that was so cliche I was nearly sick. As for an intriguing past, Zidane is missed out again, oh yes they touch on it early on but by the time you start finding out about it, you don't really care anymore. Instead, all the focus is poured onto the little whining "Orco" lookalike and when you find out abuot his past it's just plain dissapointing.


Final Fantasy X had better be something special!!!!!!!!

Ive just started playing FF9 and im quite disappointed. I think they made a mistake going back to rediculous looking poeple like FF7(way overrated). I just hope it gets better fast. Graphics are brilliant, better than i've seen on PS2 anyway

Thats your own opinion. I personally think all the final fantasy games aren't essential purchases. I guess you just have to be a fan of games like that and I'm not.
