   Oh my, FF games for so cheap is mighty tempting. May have to invest in a couple of older ones. My mate once told me that 6 was the best so I may go for this one first.

     Also, does anyone know why IV is so much more expensive than the others?

       I think it has some spin off games bundled in.

       It contains the extra chapters that were recently released on Wii – FFIV The After Years which are a series of chapters that take place many years after the end of FFIV from various characters perspectives. Shame it’s PSP only though.
       Very tempted by FFVI, although I still own the original SNES US cartridge.

   Puddle looks like a Mercury/Loco Roco hybrid of sorts, which could be good – would still have liked a demo though, but perhaps I’ll get it. hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dI4H6zuuzc

   Pinballistik also looks nice, but perhaps not day one.

   And Duke Nuke’Em is seriously overpriced, espescially when compared to the current bargain basement prices, even in Norway.

       Many thanks for the heads up! Very kind of you.
       I don’t play PC games though (and technically I’m on a Mac anyways), so it’s PS3 or nothing for me.

       I’m also a mac user and although I have Windows installed with boot camp I’m loathe to boot into it, which is why I wasn’t 100% sure if it was the same game :)
       It looks like a cool little game but the levels are very short and quick so I think it would be a perfect mobile/handheld game.

   Very happy to see the FF’s have been reduced, especially before the vita’s release.
   I bought them all for my psp. Had 7&8 from the us store and 9 from the UK store. I’m guessing that I wont be able to have all 3 (working) on my current psn ID when I get the vita. So i’d have to re-buy the one(s) that don’t work, which is great, now they are cheap!

   Hi everybody, thinking of gettine either FFX, or VII,or maybe one of the earlier ones. I played VII breifly on the original Playstation and the only other one I’ve played is number 13 on the ps3. any recommendations?

     obviously VII is a fantastic game, widely regarded as one of, if not the, best games ever made.
     IX is pretty good too.
     the protagonist is actually pretty likable, pretty much the polar opposite of Squall from VIII, and the combat system is pretty good, none of that tedious magic drawing like VIII

     i wouldn’t hold out for X though, that was a PS2 title so when that does come to the psn it won’t see the light of day in europe for a long time after, just like all the other PS2 games on the us store.

     if you’ve got a PSP FF Tactics is pretty good, it’s an updated version of the PS1 game that never made it to europe.
     it’s one of the best tactics style strategy rpgs i’ve played, and i’ve played quite a few.

       Cheers, I’ll probably go for VII but may just end up getting them all as they’re so cheap. number V is actually being made free on Plus soon.

       Final Fantasy X has been confirmed on it’s way in a HD re-release for Vita and PS3.
       VII is a great game- and that’s not nostalgia speaking, I played it for the first time ever only last year! Loved it, and I’ve beaten it three times. Snapped up V, VIII, IX and Tactics (had it before, loved it, broke the UMD casing, have it again) today, which means only X and XI for the set to be in my house.
       Although seeing as XI is online, there’s little point to my bothering with it to be honest…

       If you don’t already own 12 I would recommend that. Easy to get used to and mechanically modern. Its also lovely to look at :P. Problem is the main protagonist is weak though there are other characters that detract this so you can ignore that nancy boy :) Crisis core, tactics etc all good for PSP and Crisis Core btw is a prequel to FF7.

       i think i actually preferred XII to X, though yeah, Vaan was, well a bit dull, he wasn’t a misery guts like many FF characters, but there didn’t seem to be any point to him being there most of the time.

       i’ve got a hankering to start playing it again now. ^_^

   The only FF Game I’ve played was the first PS3 one. 13 maybe? I constantly hear good things about the series, but thought this game was quite possibly the biggest load of tripe ever. Which of these oldies will convince me otherwise?

     7 is often considered the best. Personally I preferred the setting and story of 8. I didn’t enjoy 9 (not a fan of the whole medieval vibe) and haven’t played the others so couldn’t comment. 10 is the best though if you have any way of playing it.

     They are all vastly different to 13 though, they are much more traditional RPGs, though each has it’s own play style.

       FF7 is my fave. 1st one I ever played and I guess why it’s my fav. Not keen on 8. Loved 9. You won’t go wrong with any of them.
