You know I had an idea, I heard that GBA is and isn't required. But you will need it to adjust you items, equipment, etc. So if you have one GBA and play Co-op than couldn't it be possible to swap the GBA to other players in order for them to change thing's on their equipment?

It's a thought.

A GBA is not required for single player, but they are required for multiple players. At least this is the way it is for the japanese version, but it is unlikely to change for the us version.

You know, I have been sampling the FF: CC soundtrack for the last couple of days, and I am REALLY liking it (unlike the garbage that was in FFX). I also consider Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles to be the spiritual successor to Secret of Mana, which is a very good thing.

Final Fantasy XII has disappointing artwork (not very original), but otherwise it still seems to be shaping up to be a good game.

I actually bought Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. It's not the best game in the world, but there's nothing really wrong with it either.

Things are actually shaping up for Final Fantasy, and I am pleased to see that. Garbage like Final Fantasy 8 - 11 can be forgotten in time I suppose. I just hope that my faith isn't misplaced. Fool me once, shame on them. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice... well... I'm about as stupid as you can get. At least I didn't buy FF9, FF10, FF10-2, or FF11.

Spiritual successor nothing- I'm betting Crystal Chronicles started off as a Secret of Mana game and they slapped on the Final Fantasy title later (since it's obviously a Final Fantasy game in name alone).

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #54 on:** November 17, 2003, 05:26:35 PM »

hey, that's why I love the concept so much.

It's like the ultimate Mana game.

Now we can all forget about that horrible mistake known as Legend of Mana, and get back to the good gaming that's important.

This is sorta off GC topic, but Magic-Box had some quote up today about the next FF being very different from earlier ones. It's kinda got the FF8 look with the lots of machines and stuff too. I hated FF8. It also said something about 2 discs, which if they're talking about PS2 discs, means a whole lotta FMV. Everything I hate about Modern RPG's rolled into one.

Anyways, I'm getting to the point where I'd believe a megaton rummer that they are porting it to several consoles. They don't seem to squeemish about PC ports right, but I guess you gotta be that way if you're making a MMORPG. They've got people around now who've done Cube work too. I guess I'm just crossing my fingers. I'd buy it even if it was as crappy as 8 and had only 5 seconds of play time, the rest as video. I miss it that much I think. I'm pathetic.

VIII - sucked
IX - good, very reminiscent of old school
X - very mediocre game, kind of dissapointing
XI - good for what it is. final fantasy really shouldnt be an online game tho, but hey square made it work quite well.
XII - looks like X character art all over again. but I have faith in Square-Enix and in Yasumi Matsuno.

As far as Square coming back for the N5. I think its VERY possible. Nintendo is going to take back the market. That is easily foreseeable.

My roomie and I are having tons of fun with Seiken Densetsu 3, thanks to a cheap computer made of hand-me-down and throw-away parts, with the addition of a burner and a VGA-TV scan converter (ZSNES on TV baby!). And we have 8-button gamepads. I call it my "xbox".

We're using a team of Duran(Paladin), Hawk(Nightblade), and Lise(Starlancer). Close to near the end of the game, but lots of room for leveling-up.

For those with

in ze Melons, Seiken Densetsu 3 is "Secret of Mana 2"(JPN). It's Square's gameplay successor to Secret of Mana, and the story dates back long before Sword of Mana. Personally, I love the character balance/diversity/skill dispersion and game mechanics more than Secret of Mana, though the sincerity and sweetness of Secret of Mana's story and music blows it to the Mushroom Kingdom. Not bringing this game officially stateside I think was a big mistake by Square.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #58 on:** November 18, 2003, 01:42:21 PM »

Professional, Secret of Mana was known as Seiken Densetsu 2 in Japan.

Sword of Mana was Seiken Densetsu 1.

I have played Seiken Densetsu 3 as well, but I don't share the love for it that many people have. I vastly preferred Secret of Mana, as it had a more clearly defined story, and the general feel of the game was better. The music was also much better for the most part. Only 2 tracks really stood out in Seiken Densetsu 3, while I loved pretty much the whole soundtrack in Secret of Mana.

Hey, isnt there supposed to be a rather big FF12 announcement soon?

Koopa Troopa · « **Reply #60 on:** November 18, 2003, 02:52:42 PM »

Yeah, wasn't IGN, or GameSpot supposed to reveal some details (or something) tonight?

I know that already. Did anything in my post contradict that?

And Sword of Mana *will be* (upon release) Seiken Densetsu 1. Final Fantasy Adventure is the original Seiken Densetsu.

Either way, Seiken Densetsu 3 is the prequel to the previous Seiken Densetsu games.

Meh. I've had a few drinks tonight. Please bear with me. Sorry if I offended.

Just wanted to throw in some useless info. I am playing Final Fantasy 3 now. Whats everybodys thoughts on it? I'm loving it so far.

rpglover · « **Reply #65 on:** November 19, 2003, 12:14:20 PM »

final fantasy 3 (6 in japan) is my favorite final fantasy game of all of them- i think it has one of the best stories and great characters- all the characters are very well developed and you actually care for them as you play the game- the battle system is good, but is still the typical final fantasy affair- but i think the game is just great because of the characters- and kefka is the best villian ever!

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #66 on:** November 19, 2003, 03:11:24 PM »

Rpglover is correct. Best of the series.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #67 on:** November 21, 2003, 11:18:27 AM »

Kefka Chere = Best villian eva!!!!!!

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #68 on:** November 21, 2003, 06:38:14 PM »

Kefka's last name was NOT Chere. He had absolutely no relation to Celes other than the fact that they were both generals in Vector's military.

sadly, i've never gotten to play ff6.

i heard a loooooooooong time ago that square was planning on rereleasing a bunch of old games on gba. anyone know if this is true or not? i've been meaning to get this game for the longest time, and if they don't have plans on rereleasing it on gba anytime soon i'll have to scour ebay for a used snes copy.

Thats purely opinion : ) While I enjoyed FF6, I hated Kefka and the game was a perfect 10 during the World of Balance and the World of Ruin was a chore. I despised it. After I finished FF6 twice, I'd play it throught the World of Balance and then start over again. My favorite FF of all time is still FF4, it was short and linear but the characters were the most memorable to me.

You can get a used PSOne (should be about 20-30 dollars), then buy FFOrigins, FFAnthology, FFChronicles... One of those is harder to find now, I think, not sure which one (I know it isn't Origins). Anth/Chron should be going on Greatest Hits soon, though.

Yeah, that is true. And it is pretty annoying, but some of these games are too hard to find in their original form.
