You will have to buy PS+ on your American account if you want those free games/deals, though. Keep in mind that DLC does not work cross region, or at least it didn't on PS3.

Manatee Cannon posted:FF9 was my favorite for a long time. It's a little hard to go back to though. Of the three PSX Final Fantasy titles, I found it the easiest to come back to play. It doesn't have any real annoying segments that I don't want to retread. FFIX was a pretty straight forward game in comparison to VII and VIII, but this was a good thing. I think its stood the test of time a lot better as a result, while still remaining fun to play.

Yeah, FF7's models are legoid abominations but their pre-rendered backgrounds are quite nice and the game still has a good sense of framing and camera placement. The 3D FFIV/VI remakes are ugly and amateurish.

The only bad thing is it takes your only Healer away from the main party for a good few hours early on, and if you didn't get the optional party member, (and teach them White Wind), you were going to have a drat hard time of it.

These games maintain the original in-game graphics as best as possible, but the cutscenes are replaced with extremely horrible 3D animation. There are good GBA ports of 4/5/6 too though. To me 9 is definitely the best of the three PSX games.

And I'm a fan of FFX but can't understand what anyone likes about FFIV besides nostalgia. There's a reason the megathread is subtitled 'Every game is the worst game in the series'.

I don't think any of the three PSX games hold up that well, but you're right that they are all 100% still playable. You just have to make certain allowances for the generation they were designed in.

EDIT: Too fast ;p I didn't know they even did 5 and 6 on the DS, I thought it was just 3 and 4. 3 was horrendous but that was a crap game anyway, but I found 4 to be fine, though the difficulty was absurd at times.

I imagine X/X-2 will be the HD remaster with no additional frills. though I dunno. Hadn't heard it was being ported to PS4 before. Hopefully the other remasters also get on PS4 since I never bothered on PS3.

Yeah it's pretty much a 1:1 remake except considerably nicer sprites and I think they adjusted the difficulty early on to make the first few dungeons less of a slog. Edit: Huh, apparently the original NA release removed all these extra character skills for some reason which explains why they seemed appropriate but unfamiliar.

It has the least amount of punchable protagonists. Is there a cutoff for when you can get the FF15 demo for pre-ordering FF0? Or can I just buy it the day before? I hate pre-ordering games and I typically only do it if there's a pre-load and I know I was going to get it anyway. But drat, an FF15 demo. It's been so long at this point I just have to know if that thing sucks.

Has anyone had issues with the L3 button on the DS4? In the last few days, L3 has stopped working correctly. When I try to sprint in CoD, it just sprints for about one second then stops. I can only get it to work if I actually hold down on the stick the entire time. It's a blue DS4 that I purchased in November to replace a DS4 that had a sticky R1 and and a broken R2. Is this something I can repair myself or will I need to purchase a third DS4? I no longer have the receipt for the second one, and I also moved across the country about a week after I bought it.

Is it normal that the left thumbstick of my controller is showing a lot of wear? I can see the hard plastic that's underneath it. I don't play that much, and even after years, my PS3 controller didn't show that much wear.

Eventually happened to both of mine from launch day/pre-launch day. If you have a warranty I'd get it replaced. I got one of the white ones not too long ago and the rubber feels a little different, I think they might have changed the formula.

Back to FF chat for a sec, FF9 hasn't aged that well IMO. My favorites are FF6, FF7, FF8, and FFX. FF1 is great, but it has aged pretty badly as well. I am really curious about FF Type 0 and BloodBorne. They both look pretty fun.

I think if you do auto fight in FF4 PSP it speeds everything up. Which is fantastic. Why Square didn't put a speed up option into all the IOS ports they made, I'll never know.

The ds remake of it had a lot of quality of life improvements like this. Leveling was faster too for less grinding. What doesn't ff9 hold up? I'm about to start playing it on vita. Graphics look old but fine.

Settled for cheap rubber textured knobbed tops for DS4 sticks instead of using the defaults: http://www.dx.com/p/silicone-anti-skid-covers-for-ps4-3d-controller-grey-10pcs-286508 if the rest of the pad works you might as well do this.
