i just beat final fantasy vii
 

Fucking epic.

congratulations

you suck i beat the game in like an hour.

It only took you nine years.

I just got it a month ago.

I've had a PS2 for two years (mainly cuz I found it brand new for $80 and stupidly thought there'd be games worth getting for it) and and only have 2 games for it -- Mega Man Collection and Mega Man X collection -- so this past few months I've decided to buy up some PSone games.. I got chrono chross, all the final fantasies (including tactics), legend of mana, brave fencer musashi, mainly square games..

and I beat final fantasy vii.. it took 42 hours. whoo!

How much did you get those for? Lately with advent children and the FF resurgence prices have shot through the roof. I wanted to buy a copy of final fantasy IX and it was fortry-five dollars, used.

congrats. and you're right, there's no such thing as a good ps2 game -- imo the video game industry died with the 90s.

since this is a final fantasy thread i might as well ask a quasi-related question . . . i got ffiii (vi, if you're a japanese purist) about a year and a half ago and got all the way to kefka's tower, and i'm on the part where you have to split into 3 parties. there's this part where you have to have two parties stand on buttons and have the third go thru this central door and fight a goddess. i beat the goddess (the first one) and switched to the party that's standing on the left switch, but i can't find where the hell to go from there. every walkthru on gamefaqs tells you to go through some door, but I CAN'T FIND THE GODDAM DOOR. it's the stupidest problem on the planet but it frustrated me enough that i stopped playing the game about a year ago and haven't picked it up since. any suggestions?

yea, i was lucky i bought my new copy before all the prices rose.

Congrats. Did you beat the Weapons as well? I never could...
You should play FF9 next, it's really good as well. Chrono Cross is pretty good, but I don't really like how the battles work.

As you can see I'm a pretty big RPG nerd.

A few things...

I got all those games for $10 or less. Tons of awesome pawn shops around here.

Any help needed in Final Fantasy games, you should probably go to www.gamefaqs.com ..

And yeah honestly probably the best RPG I've ever played (so far) is Super Mario RPG.. but I'm sure that'll change as soon as I play some more.

And I attempted to beat one of the weapons. Haha..

Final Fantasy is awesome. Film wasn't very good.

Both films, especially the spirits within bullshit, weren't very good.

Love the games, Movies were dissapointing

Of course the movies suck.

FF7 Is a fuckin amazing game. As most Final fantasy's are... I think i'll always have a soft spot for II(jap 4) because I had it on snes and it was a great game. I never beat three though. SOmething I need to do.

i never beat 7. i'm pretty close on 10.

10 was a huge dissapointment for me. I absolutely hate the characters and that fucking blitzball minigame stuff. Plus the sphere grid battle system kinda sucks.

Also, there are a few gems for ps2: Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, MGS 2&3, Katamari Damaci & We Love Katamari, Guilty Gear X2, Soul Calibur II & III, Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner, Silent Hill 2, Dragon Quest VIII, Gitaroo Man, Parappa the Rapper 2...

I liked the sphere grid on 10, but overall I agree that FF10 sucked.
I never player FFX-2, did anyone else? It looked like utter shit.

Damn, legend of mana was SUCH a good game, I wish I still had it. Aw well, there's always Morrowind for me

Yeah, I'd almost get a 360 just for morrowind..

as for posting about ps2 games, there indeed are a couple I like (ico) and a couple I need to play (shadow of collusses) but.. metal gear solid 2...

that's easily one of the worst games I've ever played.

ICO was a great video game. I haven't played in years. The slough of sports games and horrible RPGs has scared me away from spending money on video games ever again.

I beat one of the Final Fantasy's. It took me like 100 hours or something like that. I don't remember which one.

yeah too many of those damn things

I've only played one Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy IX. And I thought it was terrible. It was really, really easy and felt more like watching a movie than playing a game.

final fantasy vii is one of my top five rpg's of all time, but i can't believe no one's mentioned xenogears yet, though. it's the best game i've ever played!

FFVII kicked serious ass. It's the only one that has held my attention long enough for me to complete it.

Good work man! That game is so good it hurts. I did spend 48 hours on it. Who's your favorite charater? I really liked the figthing of that fat, burly guy with a gun-arm.

FF7 has to be the best game ever made duh?!

'i mean besides the graphics i give it an overall score of 10!! wow

but the other final fantasy titles are ok like tactics and FF8 but final fantasy 10 just sucked and i hate that queer tidus what a fairy the whole game sucked omg it was horrible forcing myself to play it but it was a final fantasy so i tried my best

favorite character is cloud of course

yeah, of course. i should have written besides from Cloud:D

congratulations. now get out of the house and get a life :p

So two years later, I've changed my mind on many things I said on this thread. The PS2 does have plenty of good games.

But yeah, I've beaten FFIV, FFV, FFVI, FFVII, FFVIX, and the awful FFXII. 6 and 9 are my favorites.

And Xenogears is my favorite RPG of all time. :)

Also, for having so few replies, this thread has a lot of views.

no good ps2 games? gta? metal gear solid 2?

Huh. I just said the PS2 has plenty of good games.

I wouldn't list MGS2 or GTA though.

Rez, Ico, Shadow of the Collosus, Tales of the Abyss, Gitaroo Man, Dragon Quest VIII, Disgaea 1 and 2, Makai Kingdom, Soul Nomad, R-Type Final, Phantom Brave, La Pucelle, MGS3, Radio Allergy, Dark Cloud 2, Gradius V, Silpheed: Lost Planet, Ys: Ark of Nephistm, Atelier Iris, Odin Sphere, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga, Romancing SaGa, Shadow Hearts, Capcom Classics Collection 1 and 2, Mega Man Collection, Mega Man X Collection, Killer 7, Taito Legends 2, and probably a few more I forgot are all excellent though.

And FFVIII ? :confused:

Oh, and duh...

STEAMBOT CHRONICLES!
STELLA DEUS!
GROWLANSER!
PERSONA 3! (though I don't love it as much as some people)

All kinds of good games.

I hated FVIII so I didn't beat it.

I have Final Fantasy II, III, IV, V, VI and VI Gold (?)

Which one should I play through first?

VI!!!

VI rules!

alright sweet, thank god for ROMs

unluckily, i've not came across a pawn shop that sells retro game consoles. well there should be some but i'd have to crawl into iffy city

final fantasy vii contributed to a lot of good memories.

so did viii, which a lot of people didnt like. but i did
