I went and downloaded ZSNES. I got the SNES FF6 ROM. I load the ROM, everything's good and all, but I can't press any buttons to actually PLAY the game. I can press escape to leave the info screen of ZSNES, I can start the game, but can't get past the title screen. And I did bind the keys.

I'd just use the default keys for ZSNES. asdzxc

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]Final Fantasy 6 isn't a "disc" per se. It's a cartridge. SNES FF3.

It will be out for GBA come November or September or something, and you can get it for PSX. To be honest, you can obtain it for the SNES for about 30 bucks if you're dedicated, and then there's always alternate online channels. I played it via emulator (when I legally had the game--I lost it in a move though :() on my old p120 (good god it was painful) and even back then it was awesome. Good stuff.

It's hard, to be sure, but it's one of those games you just have to be tactical with, and make a save before every MAJOR decision.

Edit: My first play through took almost 110 hours. But I was also level 99 by the end, had every item, had everything you could want (all spells etc), and had beaten the game to death. My last playthrough was about 25 hours, but you could probably shorten it if you wanted to. To be honest, that game taught me to enjoy lengthy games.[/QUOTE]

Yoshi wins.

110 hours?? Good golly Christ.

Got it playing.

Around 2 hours in (little less) and Figaro sinking into the sand was BADASS.

Also:

1. MOTHA ****IN' ZLOC ON A MOTHA ****IN' CHOCOBO

2. RHINOTAUR!

[QUOTE=- Tony -]6. It's on PS1, it rocks, it's one disc, and it's got some absolutely classic lines.

Or 7. Three discs of cinematic story goodness and rockin' music.

Or 8. Four discs of more realistic (if slightly pixelly world and battle graphics) and my favourite score.

To be honest, most people started with FFVII, since that was the first one released on PS1. So I'd go for that.[/QUOTE]

avtualy, most people started with 7 becuase it was the first to get an english version release outside the U.S.

Actually, the first final fantasy to get an English release was, in fact Final Fantasy.

I can't wait till FF3/6 Advanced comes out

I will murder if it gets cancelled

It's coming bundled with 5 as well

Except for FF1, and FF4, and FF6...yeah.

it was probablys because of the pretty 3d graphics and obscene hype it recieved.

not that it wasnt worthy of it, its a buzzing game.

Final Fantasy 6, no contest. It's what I started with, and it's a perfect intro into the wide world of RPGs. Memorable characters, engaging story, stunning music, and fun gameplay make it one of the best games of all time. I stared at the "THE END" screen for more than an hour after I finished it... it's that engaging. Find an SNES, find FF6, find a TV, and lock yourself in your house until you beat it. If you don't have an SNES, find a friend who does and kill them.

VI was the first one I beat and is a good starter

VII is the one you will probaly most want to finish once you start as Sephiroth is the best bad guy ever and you really want to kill him.

VIII has the best heros but the villan is lacking so the story is better at the beggining of the game but there is not as much of a desire to finish it.

VI has a great ballance of great main characters and a fast opening (Locke FTW) and an awesome final boss. (second only to Sephiroth and that can be argued).

and none of these three are super hard IV was awesome in story but slightly too hard for me I got to the final boss but got board with leveling and was too weak to finish him.

so I'd say VI or VII are the best starters and VIII should be played eventualy.

these three first though, and then go on to IV and then X. if you get too used to X IV will be way to tough.


The hardest part of starting a FF game is that you really need to play one of them to know how to play them. The learning curve is a little weird but once you get through one of them the others come a lot faster.

Personally, I wanted to kill Kefka more than I wanted to Sephiroth. The death of General Leo made me so damned angry, especially since he seemed like such an awesome character .

Final Fantasy 1 of course. Then 2 (as released on SNES and re-released on GBA recently). Then 3 (as released in USA) then 7 on PS. Hopefully by then you will like the originals enough to realize that 7 sucks.

Yeah, Kefka was the biggest bad guy. I mean come on, poisoning a river and killing everyone inside a castle, ruining a character's family. The General Leo thing was bad too. It's awsome, because in the world of ruin (I think that's it) Kefka could just destroy the party with a point of a finger. But he's too leet for that, and instead waits for them.

Win.

7 was ok, but compared to the other final fantasies it's not that high on the list.

I think people liked 7 so much because Tifa's breasts were so large. I mean Jesus! They have plastic surgeons in Midgar?

See!

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]Except for FF1, and FF4, and FF6...yeah.[/QUOTE]

if you read the entire post, and not just the part thjat you wanted to see (the words if taken on their own wouldbe wrong) you would have seen that I said an english release OUTSIDE the US.

go and look it up, noone outside the US and japan got a final fantasy game until final fantasy 7.

FF7 was the first of the series that I played. It did the exact opposite of turning me off. I fell in love right from the get-go. FF6 and FF7 are very quick to entertain.

Kefka was major bad stuffs. I think I liked how Sephiroth messed with your mind so much and he was just cooler IMO than Kefka, but they are both up there Sephiroth only barely beats him. Kefka was just insane while Sephiroth spent his time trying to make you go insane. in the end Kefka did endup more powerful than sephiroth.

my top three bad guys of all time are probably
1. Sephiroth
2. Darth Vader
3. Kefka

and thats such a close call it's hard to number

sephiroth is a badass. but he is weak.

I realy hope that the inevitable remake has an extra difficulty level in which he is made stronger. (i.e. no more dieing or comeing close to dieing after one of the mega attacks)

As far as strength goes though, I think it's a tie between Osma and Kefka. Osma just melts everyone's brain, pretty much.

You're most definitely wrong, final fantasy 1 did.

Burden of proof is on you sir, YOU do your own damned research.

Well, he is right... Sort of, he really should've said North America and not US though.

They were never originally released in Europe or Australia, so I'd imagine that'd make the North American release the only English release.

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]You're most definitely wrong, final fantasy 1 did.

yes, we did get final fanasy one. AS A RERELEASE MANY YEARS AFTER WE GOT FF7. (also, where is YOUR proof that we did get FF1 for the NES in the european/austrlian/anywherenotjapanorUSA region.?)

FF1: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/data/522595.html (hmm, only a realese date for japan and the usa)

FF4(US2): http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/data/522596.html (again, only a release date for the US and japan)

FF6(US3): http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/data/554041.html (lookie there, also only a US and japanese relese date)

there is you proof yoshi.

yes, but when it comes to video games and region lockout, even in those days, for all intents and purposes the US release is usualy the north american release as canada is in the same area. ( just the same as including the australian relese under the name of the european release, especialy as we sometimes dont get a specific australian release and need to import the games from europe.)

Yeah, I know that's what you meant. Was just clarifying so someone doesn't come and say, "OMG he's wrong cause he didn't include Canada!"

thanks, cause i wouldnt put it past some people here to do that.

Canada got all the same ones U.S. did

kk

as has already been said, for all intents and purposes, when it comes to video game releases, canada is included with the US in all releases.

KK

I dunno if you realize this, but Canada isn't the USA. Just clarifying.

I don't need any proof--you're the one that made the claims. Burden of proof is on you.

And FF1 at the very least made it out, so you were at least partially wrong (and I'm about 99% sure that FF2 and 3 as released on the SNES made it to Canada).

And saying Canada is the USA is like saying Vietnam is Laos. Just because they're close and culturally extremely similar doesn't mean they are the same nation. They're not. The US has Newegg, Canada doesn't. That alone should be enough to differentiate the two :p

You know what he meant and you know what I meant, so stop trying to say he's wrong on a technicality.

That's not a "technicality". Canada is not the US. I don't know what the hell you guys are thinking, but last time I checked, I needed a passport to get into Canada. I don't need a passport to go to Michigan. They're two different countries.

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME COUNTRY.

I really didn't think it'd be so hard to explain something so obvious.

I think you're the one having a problem understanding something so obvious. Read his post. When you hear a game is getting a US release, it's getting released in Canada too. They're the same release market. He meant the US release market, which is essentially all of North America. Not that hard of a concept to grasp. You just have a problem with being wrong and are trying to defend yourself by being picky with how he worded it even though you know when he said US that he means the US release region, or North America.

No, if I'm wrong I admit it. I wasn't wrong--if you're talking regions then yeah, the US is the same as Canada in that all games released in the US can be played in Canada. But not all games released in the US are released in Canada, despite that fact. Especially back then.

I'm not being "picky", I'm going by what he said originally. He's just changed his stance and, instead of saying such and admitting partial wrongness, has decided he was right all along even though what he said originally was erronneous.

You just like picking me out and trying to prove me wrong. Everytime you've replied to anything I've said, and hell most of your posts (as far as I can tell) are actually trying to prove me wrong. It seems like Freelancer syndrome is spreading.
