What's the best way of playing the classic FF games?>Original >PS1>GBA>PSP>Pixel Remaster>Whatever else I don't know
>>735051181It's the Pixel Remaster. It has no competition.In the case of III it's the 3D remake tho
>>735051264>In the case of III it's the 3D remake thoYou'll scar the lad if he has to go through that.
>>735051264The pixel remasters are always the worst versions, though.
>>735051419No, they’re the best versions.
>>735051181PC for VII onwards. For the 2D games, play both PR and the best console version for maximum content.FFI: PSP, PRFFII: PSP, PRFFIII: 3D, PRFFIV: 3D, PSP, PRFFV: GBA, PRFFVI, GBA, PR
>>735051181first 3 aren't worth playing>>735051729wrong. usually PSP or PSX depending on the game
>>735051181Pixel Remasters require the least amount of work but have none of the bonus content from other releases. If you care about bonus shit, then the PSP versions are probably the best. The 3d PSP ones are also the same as the 3d versions of 3 and 4 on steam
>>735053147Faggot. FF2 is awesome
>>735051181just throw darts at a board man, no matter which you pick youll be missing somthing from another version
>>735051419Untrue in every case>1 GBA is worse>2 NES and GBA are worse>3 3D is worse>4 GBA is worse>5 original mobile port is worse>6 original mobile port is worse
>>735053147It took you three attempts to make this post.
>>735051419Not him, but if you dislike the arranged OST, you can revert back to OJ in best resolution available. Don't like your sprites in 4k? Toggle scanlines on. Don't like the translation? Play it on the original console on a CRT from goodwill and quit yer bitchin. Quit gatekeeping something that's available to anyone with access to a retro store, which is all countries except the 3rd world.
Play whichever I don't care
>>7350511811 is best on NES, but not a lot of people would agree. To have the most content play the PSP version. 2's most complete version is PSP as well. 3 is different in all three versions, playing the 3D remake is better on PC than DS and PSP. 4's most complete version is on PSP, but the sprites are ugly imo, so GBA is better, SNES has a unique translation, a really really bad one but it's funny on its own. For 3D PC beats DS. 5 has more content on GBA, but the extra content isn't very good so PR or SNES are good, the PS1 version is bad. 6 has the most content on GBA and the old PC version, but people don't like the sprites of the old PC version, plus you'd have to pirate it. SNES is very good but the translation is wrong a few times, but people do like the quirkiness.
>>735051181NES. Or maybe a romhack that makes it harder.
Won't consider the 3D remakes classics for this purpose1 FC or PS1 or WSC > PR > MSX2 > the rest avoid anything with MP in it2 FC or PS1 or WSC rest are too casualized3 FC or PR4 SFC or PS1 or WSC any are fine5 SFC > PR > GBA > PS16 SFC > PR > GBA > PS1
In 1 you can name your character and have more difficulty and have black backgrounds like a straight up wizardry dungeon crawler on NES and i love it but the psp one is novel as well For me its:1 nes2 psp3 snes4 psp 5 re release (aka old version)6 re release (aka old version)I just like the higher resolution sprites in the psp and steam releases. Pixel remaster is a little onions
>>735051181pixel remaster is excellent if you don't want to search for emulation1: GBA2: GBA3: PR4: DS 5: PR (but muh extra content) no, shut the fuck up its all terrible6: original
>>735056946>1: GBA>2: GBAWhy GBA over PS1 or PSP
>>735053147GBA has more content
>>735057625GBA doesn't have load times
>>735051181Varies. FF1 you should play on the NES if you want unmitigated kino. FF2 psp, FF3 3D remake is the best but the pixel remaster and nes versions are also based.>4 psp remake>5 gba >6 pixel remaster with mods to restore the sprites
>>735057732I don't recall PSP having particularly egregious load times, they certainly aren't intrusive enough to justify putting up with the GBA OST
how's the ps1 version of 1/2?
On the subject of FF, XI or XIV?
>>735061432the old thread isn't even cold yet and you're already trying to start shit. lol
>>735061471I was genuinely asking. I'm looking for an MMO to play
>>735051181The original, it's obviously the intended experience :)
>>7350511811: PS12: PS13: PR.4: PS15: SNES6: SNES
>>735061584do you want a game thats mmo first or a final fantasy first?
>>735061432Neither. They're both cancer that missed the point of the series.
>>735062002but enough about everything after 6
>>735051181>1 and 2PSP>43D remake>5 and 6SNES. The GBA ports have inferior sound quality even with patches, and the pixel remasters are visually inferior
>>735051181depends on why you play them.want to see what FF1 was actually like? play NESwant to play basically FF1 but with some minor QoL and bug fixes? choose accordinglywant to play the easiest version that cares less about the gameplay and more about bringing its audio and visuals to modern standards? play pixel remaster
>1GBA if you want MP, PR if you want spell slots>2GBA>3PR>4GBA>5SNES or PR (GBA's content is not very good)>6GBA>7, 8, 9Steam or PS1 emulation>XPS2, International version>X-2PS2
original release version for all of them>b-butshut up, shit eater.
>>735051264>3D remakeWell, if you like cock and ball torture go for it.
>everyone shitting on gba V's post game contentyou guys are seriously no skill faggots, its the best part of the game. nooo the part of the game that tests your knowledge and preparation of it's battle system is no good :'( kek fucking retards
>>735051419Wrong
>>735051181>emulate 6 with the fan patch >7-8-9 ps1
>>735062476https://fantasyanime.com/finalfantasy/ff6/ff6downloads.htmpatch is here btw
>>735062579>>735062476Does it uncensor the Relm scene?
>>735062456It's boring, a retread of previous content but more annoying, gates a bunch of classes behind it so you don't even get to use them, and collapses the amount of viable strategies to deal with enemies so your party ends up more uniform than before. It's the worst part of the game.
>>735062456It's mostly Enuo (a beefed up Neo Exdeath) and>Blue Mage but somewhat worse and with Zombie status>Dragoon but better because it can also attack at the back row from full power and doesn't need to spend a turn off-camera for a boosted attack>Chemist but for attacks>Geomancer but it still sucks
>>735062617>I had to adapt a particular strategy to defeat a boss instead of steamrolling everything!! its... le bad!!
>>735062681No you retard, it hard counters most strategies that actually worked before the postgame and funnels you towards doing the already OP shit. I figured out exactly what to do instantly. It's shit for making status effects pointless and any form of damage that's not Doublecast cheese or dual wield spellblade rapid fire pointless. I'm not complaining because it's hard, it's fucking piss easy and is completely shit on in difficulty by mods of the same game. I'm complaining because it's BAD and it defeats the point of the job system.
>>735062603Ted Woolsey Uncensored should uncensor it all, like the Celes scene
>>735051181STOP MAKING THESE THREADS YOU NIGGER>1, 2, 4PSP>3PR>5GBA>6SNES with GBA text hackEnd of fucking discussion.>>735054635>Don't like your sprites in 4k? Toggle scanlines on. Don't like the translation? Play it on the original console on a CRT from goodwill and quit yer bitchin. Quit gatekeeping somethingExtremely ironic you whine against gate keeping and yet recommend playing on original hardware. Also the scanline filter in the PRs is ass. Kill yourself.
>>735061973I guess whatever feels more final fantasy like. I'm looking for something that feels like an adventure and not a checklist.
>>735061432>XI not on sale>$29.99>XIV Starter Edition not on sale>$19.99>But the Dawn Trail Bundle is which is the same price as XIWhat the hell
>>735058550great
>>735051181Pixel Remaster, easy
>>735051181>FF1: PSP>FF2: PSP>FF3: PR>FF4: SNES (JP version with fan translation)>FF5: SNES>FF6: SNESthe ATB of the GBA remakes are completely off and plays nothing like the original so ignore those
>>735051181Doesn't really matter. The differences aren't that big for you to worry. Pixel Remaster is the easiest to get.
>>735051181PSP or 3D depending on your taste for I-IVSNES for V-VI
