I AM SO HAPPY

Jeez, I don't think I could have done it any faster =]

If you read this and have played FF9, do you remember your fastest time?

I've only completard the game once. in like 40-50 hrs... Didn't like it as much as any of the two others game in the series for PS2.

FFVII is still the shit.

9 lhas one lack of the interesting story and characters. Vivi is imo the only one worth interest. Take Zidane for example, a tail, named after a soccer player, sword as weapon... No Cloud ftw.

You guys might find this entertaining .

"Best time: 8:32 by Kari 'Essentia' Johnson on 06.03.07, done in 68 segments."

She actually spends the time to explain the strategies she used, too. Her time is probably not something you guys would want to aim for, though, because she restarted a lot of the segments repeatedly to try to minimize random encounters (as detailed in her comments). Alternatively, you could try following her strategy but without restarting to minimize random encounters, and see what times you get.

The FF9 run is one of the better console RPG ones on SDA. I mean, some of the planning is pretty obvious like abuse of Lucky Seven and Limit Glove, but there are also some neat things in there to go with the overall good execution.

Funnily enough, that's what encouraged me to get my PS out and start playing FF9 again.... oh the memories ;D

I am completely disgusted by you. I personally hated Final Fantasy 9 with a passion. It was just not a good game. My list of top FFs is 7 / 8 / 6.

Anyways, beating FF9 in 15 hours is pretty impressive. You should try soloing it with a character. Thats a real challenge. Almost makes me wanna try it, but god I hate FF9... so bad...

I finished FF1 and FF2 in both twenty hours.

I think those games were more fun; simpler and faster paced.

And FF7 had missiles coming out of Tifa's ass; fuck that.

jerk!

I think 8's battle system was so horrible that it made the game a pain to play, even if the story was pretty cool.. . 9 was playful and had a smooth battle system, beautiful world but lesser story and characters, which still made it a more entertaining game overall imo. 8 tortures you with its huge design flaws.

My ranking: 7 > 6 > 5 > 4 > 9 > 8 > 10 > 1+2 > 12

12 blows, that crap aint even got nobue music, no story, no characters (about equal to the complexity of FF1 characters) crappy battle system, like a inferior KOTOR system.

RIP final fantasy

I'm gonna play FF9 just cause of this thread

9 blew ass, the characters were nothing but walking upright monkeys with no depth, the music was bad, the plot was iffy. I don't get how it could even be considered better than FF1

I actually liked FF8's battle system. Excluding how limit breakers worked. I like how you could develop your guys better on it as well. I just thought it was an over all fun game. I really liked it. I still do. I could see why people wouldn't like it though for a number of reasons. (Junctioning, Drawing magic)

But yes, FF12, was a very bad game. I rented it for 2 weeks and I played it pretty much every day. But I just couldn't get into it. The characters were to weak. The only cool guy was that former guard Capitan Brausche or something (Wtf was his name?) The story didn't suck me in at all. You just don't feel important in the storyline. I got tired of it. The battle system was a bore. It was bad, but I don't think it was anywhere close to being as bad as FF9.

I didn't mind the battle system behind FF9, however I completely hated the Story, the Characters, and very concept of it. The fact that they were directing there FF's towards more realism, then they revert to this little 10 year old kiddie bullshit designs. To give it a more fantasy "feel" was just wrong. I think FF9 was an Epic fail of a game. Don't even get me started on that stupid ass card game either. They took FF8's almost perfect card game, and turned it into something annoying and just utterly useless. The list goes on...

I also need to ask what you hated about FF10 so much? I didn't mind it, sure it wasn't my fav FF, but it wasn't a bad game to say the least. The concept and idea behind sin was amazing. I really enjoyed the story as well. The battle system was nice, it did get annoying at times though. The story also took some nice twists.

the FF10 was pretty cool game IMO..

FF12 was cool but as someone told you arent involved in the story line it makes you useless, but I thought the battle system was pretty cool, but the characters sucked so much, seriously this .. god dont even remember his name (the main character) guy was as badass as a pokemon

FF7 was the best game I ever played

Totally with you on that, i really, really despise FF9. Someone on a forum asked me why i hated it so i spent an hour writing

after which of course i was told that "u never played the game" by final faggotry fanboys.

12 is awful too, the story to 8 gets really messy, but i kinda had a different play experience with it, it was more shallow but great fun
