Topic: Final fantasy discussion thread

@Ralizah yeah although i don't have a X i'm still getting this as long as it has a physical edition that is, no news yet on that front

and yes i know i already have it on PS4 but i also have the original on PS2 and i'll be honest i'm a bit of a FF Fanboy, i got 5 different versions of FFVII for example, 4 of FFX, 2 of FFXIII, 2 of FFXV, 3 of FFVIII, 2 of FFIX, 2 of FFI, 2 of FFII, 2 of FFIII, 3 of FFIV, 2 of FFV and 5 of FFVI

i only have 1 of FFXI and XIV though

@FullbringIchigo Unsure about PAL regions, but Xbone and Switch versions of FFXII are both available physically in NA. In fact, first print copies come with a really beautiful reversible cover.

For myself, I've owned a copy of FFVII on every platform it has ever released on so far (including the cool triangular box version for PC), but I'm afraid I'll have to break that streak with the Xbone version, as I'm pretty confident I'll never buy another one of Microsoft's consoles again.

@Ralizah well FFX/X-2 and FFXII has a physical release available for pre-order on the Switch in the UK but no XB1 version yet

and yeah i wont either, i got my XB1 working but i have had so many problems with xbox's that i'm pretty much done with them

@FullbringIchigo To be honest, I nabbed a 360 around launch and, for whatever reason, never experienced an RROD. It was a solid console. But Japan rejected Microsoft hard this gen, and I go where the Japanese games go.

@Ralizah i have been through 4 OG XBOX's, 4 XB360's and 2 XB1's while the only PlayStation to fail on me was one i broke myself and for me that's enough in fact i wouldn't even have a XB1 now if it wasn't for the fact my brother brought me it as a present

Still no news about on if the PS4 and P.C versions will be updated to ad these new features but a LOT of people have been asking so i imagine it won't be too long before they address it

i'll keep you updated as news arrives

still one good thing even if it doesn't is that the PS4 would take actual skill and planning to finish because these new features seem to be there to make the game easier

I only ever had one Xbox 360 but I had nine PS3s. Seriously. That's how many I broke.

@johncalmc how did you break that many? i mean i only had one PlayStation 2 break and that was only because i pulled it off the shelf

although on a plus note i got a great silver PS2 Slim afterwards, those look SO good

@FullbringIchigo They just kept breaking. Majority were the yellow light of death but I also had two disc drive failures.

@johncalmc it's strange you had all that trouble with PS but i never had a issue but i had all that trouble with XB and you had none

maybe it's the universe giving us a sign

@FullbringIchigo it happens. They are mechanical objects and some people get luckier than others. There's more tech to go wrong in the newer consoles so it's more inevitable than ever the consoles will break in some way.

My first Ps4 was an original line run which I bought at a bundle discount. I had all kinds of weird issues with it. Never fully broke but it never ran properly. Loads of error messages and what not. Upgraded to the pro.

I had the rrod on x360. That was a bad time and it was completely out of the blue. Bought an elite at that point.

It's a swizz I have just cottoned on!

@themcnoisy you know i wouldn't be surprised if they (as in all the manufactures) did purposely build so many to fail in order to increase sale numbers

@FullbringIchigo I just think I was unlucky. Well, lucky with the 360. I've had no issues at all with either of my PS4s and I've had one since launch.

@johncalmc my PS4 auto ejects every now and then but that's because the eject button on the launch PS4 was so sensitive and as long as you dust it often it's not a huge issue

still no news on if the PS4 and P.C versions of FFXII will be updated, Square are being VERY quiet on the matter for some reason

@FullbringIchigo They have had a bad financial spell. It wouldn't surprise me if they ignored prior versions completely. As crap as that is for PS gamers.

I kinda wish they'd bring the XIII trilogy to PS4. I don't even know why. Maybe it'll be less awful the second time around.

@johncalmc so I can finally sell my ps3 I don't think they are awful anyway and Lightning returns in particular is a very interesting game.

@Feena Honestly, I can't remember if I even played Lightning Returns. I remember thinking XIII was rubbish, and XIII-2 was pretty okay.

I've kicked around the idea of trying XIII again after dropping it in disgust not long after release. Never have I been so disappointed by a game so quickly and thoroughly.

...technically, sure, but difficulty in a game should never derive from forcing the player to "plan" around an inadequate system.

I mean, it will make it easier, but the feature that they added should have been in The Zodiac Age on release in the first place. Unlike DQXI S, where I think the exclusive content is fair given how long Switch owners had to wait for the game, this just seems like something that should have been patched into every version of the game. It's not really "extra content" so much as it is fixing something that was broken about the original release.

I doubt the patch is coming, but here's hoping.

Here's a legit bright side: you lot did get a gorgeous-looking steelbox with launch copies of the PS4 version, if I remember correctly. I actually own the steelbox edition for the PS2 version.
