Originally posted by Omegasox II and III are the best by far, but either most people are too young to have played them when they were first out or people are too encapsulated by the pretty graphics from the later releases. At least that's what I've seen from similar polls, we'll see how this turns out. Tactics comes in third.

dude... you realize that FF 2 and FF 3 weren't released in America until very recently right? the 2 and 3 you're thinking of are really 4 and 6, respectively.

with that being said, FF VI is the best, imo. the story was great. there was an actual villain, unlike all the newer FF's since 7. so many good characters. a great magic system. ONLY thing it lacked was a true main character. many argue Terra is the main character... but you dont even need to get her to beat the game.

3 was never officially released in America... there's been an underground fan translation by Alex W Jackson a few years ago. It's such a good game, though definitely shows its age compared to the newer FFs. It's straight up, no bullshit RPG gameplay.

Oh yeah, there is NO way to revive Aeris in FF7, US or Japan. There were a few changes to the US version, like they added in the 2 Weapons and I think sped up the minigames or something. And Aerith was her Japanese name, they mistranslated it as Aeris in the US version. But nothing really too significant... not as significant as the changes between Japanese FF4 and US FF2.

Those are pictures for the short movie called Final Fantasy Advent Children. It is a sequel to FFVII, but look to only be in movie format. Here is an article on it Click Here

Oh and btw, of course I was kidding about mystic quest, that's why I had the at the end of the sentence

Yeah I only noticed after I voted.
4 & 6 are the ones I was talking about.

Yeah I forgot the weapons were only found in the American version.

I would think it's more of a prequel though since everyone dies in the end

also, I found this website on some of the FF7 rumers.. it doensn't address them but it does give a list of them, all of which I've heard but I forgot about the White Chocobo and how it was used to fight onyx who is supposedly hiding in the swamps where the snake is..

check it out

Originally posted by alanzo A Question: are the rumers that you can resurrect Aeris in the Japanese version true? And were there really that many changes from the Japan version to the Euro/USA version?

The Jap version never had the emerald or ruby weapons. they were only added for euro and US releases. Also there was nothing in the Jap that we didnt get only the other way around.

Gotta be VII since that's the one that really started to get me into rpgs, but x and x-2 are pretty close behind it.

yea same here, i'll never forget the first time i played FF7, awesome

FF1 US AND JAPAN = SAME
FF2 US = FF3 JAPAN
FF2 JAPAN = DOESN'T EXIST IN US (CAN PLAY ON ANTHOLOGY ACTUALLY - SUX HARDCORE)
FF3 US = FF6 JAPAN
FF4 JAPAN ONLY RELEASE
FF5 JAPAN ONLY RELEASE
then everything was synced back up again.

final fantasy 2,3,7,10 are the highlights of the series IMO. None of them are particularly stronger than the other although they get increasingly more complex as technology increases (go figure). Not only in appearance but in depth as well.

Word is if you hack aeris back into your game using a gameshark/savegame hacking you will see that she still has script in the game unique to her all the way to the end (although there are some unfinished parts whcih will cause teh game to crash while playing with her). You were supposed to be able to revive her but they were more concerned with releasing the game then bringing back a retarded character - so it didn't make it in prior to release

FF rpgs bother me though. After FF1 (and excluding stuff like tactics etc.) they are more like interactive story books than video games. Few challenges - if any exist in the game; it's just one massive timesink. I guess that could be said about all video games though...

I think breath of fire 3 and secret of mana are the best rpgs to ever exist. Somewhat challenging gameplay coupled with compelling story lines.

I love the FF series. But you are so right about BOF 3 that game owned. Haven't played Secret of Mana though.

FFVII... no doubt about it.

SuperFarStucker, actually it goes something like this:

FF1 Japan (Famicom) = FF1 US (NES)
FF2 Japan (Famicom) = Not Released (later released on FF Origins on PSX)
FF3 Japan (Famicom) = no US release, unfortunately
FF4 Japan (SFC) = Released on FF Collection on PSX
FF4 Easytype Japan SFC) = FF2 US (Super NES)
FF5 Japan (SFC) = No US SNES release, later released on FF Anthology (PSX)
FF6 Japan (SFC) = FF3 US (Super NES)

From 7 onward, the game's US and Japanese names are the same.

Yeah, it's confusing as hell.

FFVII by far...had the best storyline, soundtrack, gameplay imo. FFIV, which i believe came out in FF Chronicles for the PSX which included Chrono Trigger as well, is also very good despite the graphics...likewise had one of teh best plots of the series imo

not everyone dies in the end...remember Red XIII and his children after the credits...and since Cloud is in the movie (which supposedly takes place 2 years after the game) obviously they had not died

FFIV = FF2 US, so i vote for FFIV as it was the most kick ass FF game ever. screw flashy 3d colors.

hrmm.. intereseting.. then how come midgar is in shambles and all they show is RED XIII? and then the children laugh which in Buddhist tradition means a new beginning - hense everyone but the animals die.. hrmmm....

obviously Midgar is in shambles...but what you say after is absurd since you just contradicted yourself..if "everyone but the animals die" then why would they show Red XIII and Cloud afterwards?!

plus in the movie sample of Advent Children, they show Barrett and Vincent (although those may be flashbacks, not certain yet)

Well it was kind of strange but there was that caption that said something like "xxxx years later", then they showed Red XIII and his family. So what happens in between those times? Maybe this movie will tell

you actually make a lot of sense. the reason all of the regular's are in it is simple: to make $$$! would you watch a final fantasy movie based around redxiii and his children? of course not. they have to include cloud and sephiroth or else no one would care. it would basically be 'the spirits within' all over again. ie: a flop. of course, i could be proven wrong when this is actually released and the parts with seph, who clearly died, and cloud are flashbacks or something.

also, i'm willing to bet that at least 12 of the 14 people that voted for FFVII had never played a final fantasy before that. it really doesnt make sense for someone who had played 4, 5, or 6 to like 7 beter than any of those three.
