Final Fantasy X.....Makes me want to cry just thinking about it. So beautiful...lol

solideagle16285d ago

FFX is the best FF out there. it has all the elements except bad ass villain seymore was not like mighty sephiroth but still the game was very very good.
thanks

solideagle16285d ago

i wont say anything for u. just buy it and play then u will see what i and above guy are talking about. its the best JRPG ever, to me atleast. it even rival FFVII in terms of twists and story.
thanks

cain1416285d ago

I never got a chance to play 10. Sounds like I should go look for it somewhere eh?

Panthers6285d ago

Wow. Game is amazing. Def try it out.

thor6285d ago

FF9 is my favourite FF, followed by 7 and then 10. Whatever you do, though, DO NOT buy FF10-2. What an absolute waste, completely rubbish game.

I put >500 hours into FF10 I think; the battle system is just amazing, way more balanced than FF8 and deeper than FF9, very tactical too. There is so much to do as well and the storyline isn't half bad either.

Shame about some of the voice acting... I think FF lost something special when they started voicing the characters -

Obama6285d ago

lol I bought ff-2...haven't even opened it though since I heard it is garbage and that I have too many games to play atm.

BrunoM6285d ago

FFx was the RPG that made me love RPGs after that is wen i went back and played 7 8 and 9 but 10 is the BEST JRPG there is for me !!

A MUST PLAY FOR ANY ONE!

AriesFury6284d ago

One of my favorite FF games of all time

cyguration6284d ago (Edited 6284d ago )

Final Fantasy VI may have been ugly since it was on the SNES, but it was one of the few JPRGs that was a multi-layered story that dealt with more than just simple character stories.

It touched on the subject of loyalty and honor amongst a murderous regime; the prospect of love without romance; sacrifice without holding onto ideologies and the necessary measures breaking down organized constitutions for equality.

Other Final Fantasy games may have been directed better and had better evolution of character studies, but FFVI is still a kick-butt game. Just thought I'd throw that out there among all the FFX and FFVII praise.

ParanoidMonkey6284d ago

...I know I'm not in the majority when I say I couldn't stand FFX. In my opinion, this is where Square had their downfall as developers. The game's overly linear, I don't like any of the characters, but I will say the general plot was good, albeit poorly executed.

Of course, this is all my opinion, and not a very popular one at that... I gotta give it credit for making me buy a PS2 back in 2002. Also, I love love LOVE the combat system. The absolute best form of turn based gameplay. Love it to death. I wish they had stuck with it longer, because it's great.

italianbreadman6284d ago

This is my favorite FF, as well, followed by 4... although I haven't played through 6 yet.

This game is immense, featuring tons of side quests and mini-goals and achievements to strive for. It has a deep and engaging storyline and is rich with characterization. The world itself also feels real; as you travel from one end to the other, you see all of the different people of the world and how they view and interact with one another.

There is not simply a story to cover the characters and their journey, but a fleshed-out background that details the political and social situation of the entire game world.

Combat is traditional turn-based, but allows players to swap out their characters on the fly to make use of each of their unique strengths, and each character is custom-leveled using the unique and well-designed sphere grid.

Simply put, this game is incredible. 92% average score from all media outlets, and that was before everyone started dishing out 10s if a game has good graphics and the controller makes your character move.

I loved getting stoned and playing this game. The way the screen breaks like glass when you start a battle was epic when you are stoned. I wish FF would go back to the Sin era in the franchise. I would love to see a game with Tidus as Sin.

OuterHaven6285d ago

the only ff i ever played besides 7 and i thought 10 was better. Still played it years after i got it.

Obama6285d ago

I love the ending of 10, so beautiful and nostalgic. I agree with OuterHaven that 10 is better than 7, but at the time when 7 was out it was one of the best rpgs.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle23d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7723d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

I agree, I like SH3 the most though.

Cacabunga666d ago

Auto Modellista will always be one of my favorite racers of all time..

gold_drake668d ago

id throw haunting ground into the mix. it still looks fantastic.

but i still dont quite understand why we never got a dragon quest 8 remaster for ps4. even the damn 3ds got one.

OtterX667d ago

I'd add Rogue Galaxy, Shadow of the Colossus.

Scissorman667d ago

Silent Hill 3 was straight up sorcery. It has better hair animation than most modern games, which is wild to me.

Venoxn4g665d ago

I would throw in MGS3 as well

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow956d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga956d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183955d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB956d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic956d ago (Edited 956d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo955d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic955d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.
