The only FF game I've played was 12 and I absolutely loved the battle system since it was more action adventure oriented instead of traditional RPG oriented, I bought 7 on steam but haven't played it yet.

I was lucky since 7 was the first FF game I played. After 7 I didn't get that same level of wow until 10. I spent more time playing Blitz ball than the actual game :P

First Time I played VII was when I around 9 years old and my head pretty much exploded. To this day, I've never had my jaw on the floor more than with that game in the first 5 mins.

The only thing to come close was the very first time I played GTA III. I don't think I got up from in front of the TV for like 12 hours. Good times.

12 is amazing in basically every way. Battle system aside, the music is great, and I love the more politically oriented plot present in the game. It really makes you think more.

PM me your username TGP, I'll add you.

And I've spent like 80 hours on Fire Emblem. Well worth it. I hear you though, not much used for those big RPG games. I guess the people buying them know that they want those games and don't want to sell them.

Well, Fire Emblem was indeed awesome, and I really liked the whole friendship/marriage system they had going.
But there are still a lot of big name RPGs out there where they can either be amazing, or they can be major grind fests, so it's hard to decide what's worth the money and what's not. Some people talk about Bravely Default like it's the new "old" Final Fantasy, like it's a shining gem of an RPG, meanwhile one of my friends refers to it as "Boredly Default", so when it comes to $40, it's difficult to just take that chance.

Can't wait for FF7 .

Port or not - it's one of the reasons I wanted a PS4 - so I could play that game again without worrying about scratched discs.
You don't have a PS3 I'm guessing?

Truth ! I loved 6 through 10 but that's where my love of FF died. However - Advent Children was a fantastic movie - even if it was 100% fan service. It was so entertaining.

Advent Children was beautiful, and the action scenes were cool, but I still hated what they did with Cloud's character, turning him all depressed. He was never like that. Even Squall wasn't that bad.  :lol

The only thing to come close was the very first time I played GTA III. I don't think I got up from in front of the TV for like 12 hours. Good times.

Hahah, yeah I remember when it came out. I had a big screen projection TV back then, so after playing it all day long for a week straight, the HUD was burned onto the screen, and you could see it very clearly when watching cartoons or anything that showed one solid color. I thought I permanently ruined my TV, but luckily it went away after a while.

The new No Man's Sky trailer looks incredible. Crossing my fingers that they'll release it on Xbox one day.

No I never had A PS3.

There was a huge gap between me owning a PS2 and a PS4 where I kinda lost interest in gaming.

I see, well, enjoy FF7 then!  ;D

Honestly, though, since getting a PSP, I haven't been able to play PS1 era FF games on anything other than a portable system. Just being able to sit there, watching TV while I'm level grinding or chocobo breeding, or whatever, is pretty sweet.

I really dislike handhelds. And playing FF7 on mobile ? Forget it.

I want to sit in my chair. With a joypad and a TV. Not squinting at a tiny screen for hours.

Well, that's up to you. While FF7 is by far not the worst case, in general, I find myself less and less willing to spend hours just running around killing enemies on the big screen, when I could be watching something while I do it.
I mean, there are some games that I think are great enough where I'm fully willing to do this, like Persona 3 on PS2, in which case I'll most likely just put on some music and listen to it as I grind... Actually, that's how I got into Dream Theater. I bought a couple of their albums, but I didn't really listen to them too much until I did get Persona 3, then running around through those long dungeons, I just put on DT and let it play, and the crazy instrumental bits did a great job of matching the frantic battles of the game. Before I knew it, I was hooked on the band.  :biggrin:

Uncharted 4 sold us on getting a PS4.


And, well, we'll have to get one eventually anyway if we want to play new games.

Got my Xbone today!

The bad news is that the installation for AC: Unity is taking FOREVER. Literally, at this rate it could take several days to complete which is absolutely bonkers. I'm doing around 180 kbps which is pathetic. Reddit suggested changing the DNS addresses to make it go faster but that didn't do anything for me. Besides switching to a faster internet plan (my ISP doesn't even give me that option for some reason), I'm open to any and all suggestions.

It took me a few days after I first powered on my xbone before I was able to play any games.  For me, my internet seemed like it was being really shitty that first day I powered it on and during a system update corrupted the OS and for me to finally stablize the system and allow it to install games and updates at a normal pace, I had to reflash the OS.  I thought that was just an odd thing because my internet took a shit at the same time I turned the xbox on, but maybe its a bigger problem than just that and you have the same issue?

Problem resolved! I took my system over to a friend who has a much faster internet connection and the whole thing was downloaded in a few hours.

Anyways, AC: Unity is awesome. As much as I liked the whole ship/pirate dynamic of the Black Flag and Rogue, Unity made me realize how much I missed exploring a city in an AC game. The initiation into the Brotherhood was really cool. I don't really like that you have to get upgrade points for a lot of stuff you should already have but it's not the end of the world. As far as glitches go, I've seen only one instance of slowdown and nothing else. I'm also disappointed there aren't any present day Abstergo missions, but overall, this is a great game.
