Hi I Just had a question. I havent played FFVII or FFIX and i want to buy them and im wondering wich one i should buy first.Thanks.
-
Out of all the series, FF VII is the best of them all (thats what i think :D ). If you are looking for a great gameplay, you should buy FF VII, but if you are looking for the great storyline, graphics and lots of state of the art FMV sequences, you should buy FF IX.
If you are having a hard time dealing with these choices...just rent both and decide which game you like best.
The choice is yours.....
YOU HAVE THE POWER :vader:
-
this aint a direct answer, but if you have the $$$ i\'d get both...hell if you dont care about graphics and still wanna play great FF without spending money, go DL FF6 /FF3(us) on EMU. Hell, that reminds me where is my is Seiken Denstesu 3 and my SNES.........
-
Buy FF7. It\'s 20 bucks, and it\'ll take you a good 40 hours to finish and it\'s addicting as hell. Then go into FF9 and have the time of your life, just dont expect a special ending cuz it\'s uhh... pretty lame. :rolleyes:
-
hmmm.. I don\'t know wich of those two you should buy but I think FF VII is the best FF can offer...
but I haven\'t played FFIX yet so I can\'t say :)
still FFVII is cheap, so buy it first.

Ok, let\'s face it. Final Fantasy IX is the best of the series by far. I own all three. I played all 3 for playstation, along with the ones for SNES, and good ole nintendo. I\'m not saying FFVII is a bad game, and it is certainly not, but in comes in second place. The characters were rather dull in FFVII, but it is still a great game. Priced at $20, you should be able to pick it up whenever you want. I suggest if you want, you play them in chronological order. But FFVIII is a bit different from the other two. (it\'s a lot more complicated than VII and IX) I\'d say the funnest one and most addicting is IX.

BTW, there is a special ending if you have the hammer and beat Hades. You do know that right?

get ff3/ff6 if you can (ff anthology) otherwise get ff7 cause it\'s cheap and that way if you don\'t like it it won\'t be a huge loss. FF9 it think is as good at least so if you like ff7 go get ff9 to.

FF VII is the best.Buy it first.It totally reaks of awsomeness.It took me 20 hours per disk so 20+3=60 hours aof awsome gameplay!

Not as lame as VII\'s... ;)

Yah, but they are both piss poor, square just got REAL lazy and it shows. I could go into detail at which part of the ending pissed me off as to hate the whole thing, but grr... people haven\'t beaten it yet!
Not as lame as VII\'s...
And what preytell was bad about 7\'s ending? I\'ll admit it needed more about what happened to the characters, but it was no where NEAR as bad as 9\'s. At least 7 had an epic atmosphere whereas 9, I saw that ending and just went "La-di-fricking-da!" Happy go lucky perfect hollywood endings never satisfy me.

To each his own eh? After all the crap I went through in VII and how attached I was to the characters, that ending was completely unsatisfying. Not to mention the whole ending scenario was a piece of ****. That whole 3rd disc was a waste and a rushed ending. I won\'t mention why I did like IX\'s ending for the sake of the person who started this topic. No need for spoilers.
Remember the old FF endings? Those were endings, and VII\'s was nothing close to that.

Sorry I couldn\'t bare to complete that horrid so-called FF game. By the time I reached the 3rd disc I was so bored out of my mind I had to quit.

Ahh FFVI and FFIV had endings...damn long too...oh yeah Vivi...if you need hints go to http://www.gamefaqs.com you can get all the help you can there...i have finished every side quest cept one, just need to level kill ozma and move on to the last stage. Hey if anyone needs an alternative for FF, try Xenogears or CC.
-
i played them all exept the one that did not come to Us and i have to say that FF9 and FF2 are the best ! but that is just me :)
-
FF9 is way better than FF7. And the ending in FF7 is crap. Most people agree with me on that.
Here is my order of best FF games:
1. FF6
2. FF4
3. FF9
4. FF7
5. FF5
6. FF1
7. FF8
FF 2 and 3 were not included because I only played about an hour of FF2 and I played FF3 for about 10 minutes.
-
how the heck was FF10s ending "not as lame" as 7\'s . FF7 was/is one of the best.....if not the best.....rpg out there today. The story line was AWESOME and it puts FF8 and FF9\'s to shame. FF8 and FF9\'s story line did not flow nearly as smoothly as FF7s. Plus the battle system by far is the best. FF8s draw system blowed, FF9s trance system sucked ass cuz u usually end up wasting it. FF7 is DEFENITLY A MUST HAVE. Go for FF7..........its just too bad you wont get the original cd tops. Try to find a used or new copy of FF7 with the original CD tops.
-
FF VII is great, but it\'s no where near FF IX\'s league of greatness. Here are the top three:
1. FF IX
2. FF VI (very close to being as good as IX)
3. FF IV
PSX FF\'s were awesome (well, VIII was good, but not FF-good), but most weren\'t as good as the SNES ones. Most agree out of those who have played them all.
-
FF7 was great and all, but the ending was terrible! Yeah it was impressive FMV, but I would have gladly taken a non FMV ending if it was a REAL ending. All the FF7 ending showed was the fact that you succeeded. Big deal.
-
I don\'t wanna get flamed, but in my opinion ff IX was better.
-
Buy Final Fantasy VII, i tell you its the best! although i never try ff9, ff7 is all the way to go. and it cheap, you can get it for under $20! I found a store selling it $16.99!
or buy final fantasy tactics, if you like strategy, its freaking addictive.
or tried xenogears, i think you can live with the (cough) horrible graphics for the characters, but the gears are just what to believe using the psx near to the limits! its have great storyling, music, deep gameplay, and good endings!
-
i believe chrono chross is better than ffix. tried it and you will be please, it very good too. (heh, even though i haven\'t tried it yet!)
