re: Final Fantasy VII on PSN

I just saw it at £7.99, but i have £2.44 in my wallet. So that means i would only have £7.44 with the compulsary £5 top-up.

Therefore, i will not buy this game. Sony should let you choose the amount you top-up

re: Final Fantasy VII on PSN

So I bought the game, downloaded it, installed it, booted it up, got to the first save point and guess what? I don't know how to save it.

It says I don't have a memory card, but I can't fit a psone memory card into a ps3. So I press the PS button, and I press the assign slots assuming it was to do with the memory or save function, nope none available it says. Ok so i check the manual that is viewable when i press the PS button. It tells me to follow the instructions and save it PSone style. So I'm back to square one. Surely Sony doesn't expect me to keep it on everyday, all night, so i can keep playing the game.

I'm convinced I'm stupid, please help if you can.

Oh the regualr XMB menu, you have to "create" a PS1 memory card. Its in the game section in between game save data and game utility, it will looks like 2 memory cards. I think the rest should be self explanatory as you do it.

FFVII is totally worth $10, it's a great game.

Ocarina of Time is still better than it though .

So, you're complaining about the price where places that sells this disc games it's raised to $60-$100 dollars? Sorry but mindboggling.

I Myself would love a FF7 Remake...I do not own a ps3 at all (i am enjoying the system and the online play when i am out in rancho dominguez) Maybe once 13 is done along with the other Final Fantasy verses 13 games or whatever it is...And along with Kingdom Hearts 3 (damn this needs to come out) maybe then we will see something...

But i'm not holding my breath...
SE basically put themselves in a position with all the beating around the bush and statements like "Compilation isn't over" where a remake has to happen. Otherwise they'll lose a shit ton of fans. FF7 remake is a money making machine, more so than any new game that'll come out which I said before. In a business standpoint, remake is a Green Mine that would be idiotic of SE NOT to do. They already expressed their deep interest in a remake which sorta confirms that could be the next project after they finish with the current titles.

He's saying that he's .55 short if he tops up. Sounds like there may be a limit or restriction of some sort.

re: Final Fantasy VII on PSN

I agree with FB' - they are gunning for this. They don't have the funds for it just yet though, so they're doing what they can to saturate the market. With Dissidia, the 13's, 14's extremely early announcement, the compilation hints, 'Advent super mega better than you edition' - not going to stop. Their ultimate goal would be to remake the original, tweak it to allow more expansions to the world, and then churn it into its own series with multiple spin offs.

I do find the number system behind the FF games to be pointless at this point though. To those that are new to it (yeah, I know - who, right?), it would appear silly. They should just give them standard titles.

After it exceeds 5£, you can choose to add the exact amount of money you need to add, when buying the game.

I think it's more of a tradition. Started off with 1 through 12(actual games), 11 and 14 I don't recognize as a FF game only cause it's a MMO and it's not a standard offline game.

Although I do agree with differentiating the MMO's and the regular offline FF games with names. Like if they gave 14 as "Final Fantasy Rapture".

quote RaidenXS
is it worth 10$? is the story compelling like MGS2?
For a game that's usually $60-$100 through ebay/amazon/any retail gaming store that has the discs, I say yes. 10 dollars is a unbelievable price for this game.
The story, imo, is the best in the FF series, but since i'm biased on this cause it was my first FF/RPG game I played, people may not agree to that.

It had everything you could ask for, FF8 was pretty good but I didn't Rinoa so that kinda played down.

Byz - I'd say FF7 is underrated rather overrated. And here's why:
  • Great, memorable(that one scene especially), Story? Check
  • Outstanding music to fit the game? Check
  • Likeable characters plus character development? Check
  • The first FF on PS1 that is huge, sold alot of money, and had good graphics for it's time? Check
  • Some of the best heroes, villians, great combat system, has materia(best out of the PS1 FF games), the basic whole concept being good? Check.

    ^ this is what makes the game great. It has the right blend of fantasy/magic and politics where the story is just captivating. But as I said, i'm biased for FF7, if you can accept the graphics aren't that great by today standards and the turnbase may not be fast due to when it came out, FF7 is definitely one of the FF icons. If it wasn't, we wouldn't be seeing Sequels, prequels, more merchandise and a damn remake talks. It's more than Nostalgia. I love how people say it's overrated, when they don't mention why. It's like they have a prob with a game that revolutionized FF games.

  • The game is overrated because:

    It's characters were not that interesting, unique, or deep. It was just one of the first games with a solid story to be recognized by the majority of people. Breath of Fire, the Mana series, the Tales series, and Phantasy Star had been doing it for years previously.

    The combat system is not fun or unique in any way. It was basically a rehash of a fighting system we saw back on the NES

    The score is great, but good music has been in a number of previous games, such as Castlevania.

    Again, the heroes are not unique, nor are the villains. OMG Sephiroth has mommy problems, he's so unique and awesome. Cloud is so deep and mysterious, he questions himself, he's so unlike any hero i've seen ever.

    It was the first "deep" story in an rpg to be noticed, not the first deep story. Hell, Cecil of FF4 (Final Fantasy 2 in America) was more interesting, and at least that game was multiplayer.

    How can a game that's made millions upon millions of revenue and has it's own soda and food products possibly be an underrated game?

    I'm not saying it's a bad game by any means, but it's certainly not as spectacular as you're making it out to be.

    re: Final Fantasy VII on PSN

    Unfortunately I don't have the will power to counter your post Byz, but the thing for me is, THAT was my first FF/RPG game I ever played. So granted that too has played a role, personally, for me liking the game. I have yet to play another FF game that reaches what it achieved. Now, there was plenty of good solid FF games I played, but the only one I think that almost reaches it but fails on some things was FF10. Even FF8, aside from a graphical leap, didn't reach it. There was a few unlikeable characters the one being Rinoa. Also, I don't recall saying "
    It was the first "deep" story in an rpg to be noticed, not the first deep story."
    I said it had a memorable story and a captivating one. Again, I don't even care about breath of fire or any of the ones you listed cause I didn't play them. FF's are mainly the only RPG's I played. Now, those rpgs you listed probably was great, but I never played it so I can't honestly give a fair assessment of them.

    Point is though FF7 is hardly overrated. It's the most talked FF game to ever release and millions demanding remakes. That tells me MILLIONS of people think the games is solid and would love to replay this title with PS3 graphics voice overs. This being added to the store also just screams "remake, future".

    I'll leave it to someone else if they want to debate the overrated-ness of said game, but this game isn't at all overrated.

    This isn't worth $60-$100, it's just a digitl copy. And as a person who always never thought JRPG's looked stupid, i am contemplating buying this game. I am only buying it from what i heard. So if Kik36 is wrong, i have wasted £10 for a game i may not like.

    So what you're basically saying is "It doesn't matter if their were deeper plots in different games, or RPG's that were even better. Final Fantasy 7 is the best because it's the one i played when i was a kid."

    Well, thanks for admitting the bias.
