lol
I was so excited for world of final fantasy.. Until I realized you put pets on your head... How fucking stupid lol. Ruined it for me and I'll steer clear from it
I'm not a longtime fan of the franchise (played and completed XV, played a bit X long time ago on PS2), but I'm interested in these releases: between X and XII, which is better overall? I think I won't buy VII cause the remake in the works, neither IX cause I don't relate the high fantasy setting with the FF franchise (for me the particularity of FF games is the mix between tech and magic in a very politically complex world) and I read that while X is more about the characters, XII is more about the politics, so I'm intrigued to know more before the purchase (which will be in 2019, cause I have a Xbox One X).
FFX/X-2 and FFXII will have retail versions. Not sure about VII and IX yet, but I imagine they won't. I'd gladly pay a few extra bucks for FFVII in a cartridge.
Thanks ;)"Better" is a bit difficult to discern, but if you're turned off IX for going to more of a fantasy set of aesthetics, you'll likely be turned off 12 pretty heavily - it's very similar to previous Ivalice / Ivalice-adjacent games (Vagrant Story and FF Tactics in particular, as well as the use of Sakimoto's music which was especially divisive at the time) with the addition of airships influenced by the Star Wars prequels.
WHATEVER8 comes after they announce the Final Fantasy 8 Remake..... right? ^^
What????????? LMAO
Not sure if this is serious or just a joke gone wrong.
You should be embarrassed by that pet in your avatar.Very serious unfortunately lol. It just looked so stupid in videos... Id feel embarrassed even playing it. Haha
X-2 is an excellent way to turn off someone from the entire series.FFX easily. It's one of the few turn-based FFs, and the protagonist is also essentially a newbie to the FF world, so you basically learn about the series' various aspects as he does. Comes bundled with FF X-2, which is an excellent intro to FF's famous ATB combat.
Overall yes, definetly. I like the whole worldbuilding and mood they went with far better than sthis edgelord VII stuff.Final Fantasy IX is the greatest FF game. I'll fight anyone on that.
It kind of is
the combat is hella funX-2 is an excellent way to turn off someone from the entire series.

I love X-2. I'll fight haters on this too.the combat is hella fun
and rat-tail yuna is best yuna
@ me, haters
Thank you for the specification, anyway, the other big issue for me in relation to old PS1 games, is that simple ports are really for the saga fans nowadays, not really for the "interested ones" like me, so yes I want to play an old FF to discover the saga, but not so old and from what I can see on YT, FFXII could be my perfect match (from a technical and gameplay perspective)....There's a lot of tech in FFIX. Lindblum is essentially a giant clockwork city. And Terran technology is highly advanced, including cloning technology and the Invincible. FFIX isn't "high fantasy" at all, it just has a more medieval setting that hearkens back to early FF. But it still has the blend of magic, fantasy and sci-fi.
The (admittedly widely-expected) physical version of X/X-2 HD for Switch was confirmed. That's about all the new stuff since the original announcement.Has there been any more news from Square about any of these? The wait for IX,X & XII for this thing is gonna kill me.
Apologies for the week-long bump, but I guess it's safe to assume that WoFF is a digital-only title in Europe at this point? I haven't seen any mention of that anywhere, but also haven't seen any retailers list it, and it's due out in a few days.
I'm leaning towards importing an XBO copy from Amazon US.
wouldnt that depend on who is publishing? if nintendo publishes, we'll get those game in physical form for no less than 39.99 euro or dls.
if it's SE then yes, it's probable digital only

Same with me. Back in the day, I really wanted XII to be on the Vita (as it's where I ended up playing X/X-2 the most), but a Switch version of Zodiac Age is the perfect consolation prize. Can't wait for the date on that one.Know that XII is going to be on the Switch is making me want to stop my PS4 playthrough as I find it hard to find time to sit down and play it.
Doubtful. I'll redownload it if that happens, though...I hope this means FFX will get a Pro patch for native 4K on Pro
To this day I wonder why FF9's prerendered backgrounds didn't get the X/X-2 treatment, especially when the characters received updated higher-poly models. X/X-2 HD's backgrounds look great even in 4K, whereas IX PC's backgrounds are a low-res eyesore even on the lowest possible resolution. (There is a mod that upscales them...way too much. Game looks almost like an oil painting with them.)I hope FF9 will further tweak the UI to not be so bad and take an absurd amount of space in battle. I'm also expecting black borders, I'm not a fan of random background art.
I've kinda been meaning to play it again, but the high-res 3D models over the upscaled 240p art still is jarring to me.
FFX's backgrounds aren't pre-rendered. That's the difference.To this day I wonder why FF9's prerendered backgrounds didn't get the X/X-2 treatment, especially when the characters received updated higher-poly models.

they probably had higher quality source files available for touch ups, unlike FF9You didn't get what they said.
Some FFX backgrounds are prerendered and was touched up presumably by hand in the remaster.

FFIX's original, high-quality art still exists. Perhaps they lost some of it, and didn't want the background qualities to be inconsistent, or something.
Now I'm actually conflicted about what console I'm going to grab these for. On one hand, it is great to play these on the Xbox One, so that will be nice. On the other, being able to take these games on the go would be good too. The joys of being conflicted...
Also hopefully FF8 will get its tweaks so that it can be on all platforms too.
